2 Kraljevima 20

1 U to vrijeme razbolje se Jezekija na smrt; i doðe k njemu prorok Isaija sin Amosov i reèe mu: ovako veli Gospod: naredi za kuæu svoju, jer æeš umrijeti i neæeš ostati živ.

In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him: 'Thus saith the LORD: Set thy house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.'

2 A on se okrete licem k zidu, i pomoli se Gospodu govoreæi:

Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, saying:

3 Oh, Gospode, opomeni se da sam jednako hodio pred tobom vjerno i s cijelijem srcem, i tvorio što je tebi ugodno. I plaka Jezekija veoma.

'Remember now, O LORD, I beseech Thee, how I have walked before Thee in truth and with a whole heart, and have done that which is good in Thy sight.' And Hezekiah wept sore.

4 I Isaija još ne bješe otišao do polovine dvora, a doðe mu rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:

And it came to pass, before Isaiah was gone out of the inner court of the city, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying:

5 Vrati se i reci Jezekiji, voðu naroda mojega: ovako veli Gospod Bog Davida oca tvojega: èuo sam molitvu tvoju, i vidio sam suze tvoje; evo iscijeliæu te, do tri dana iæi æeš u dom Gospodnji.

'Return, and say to Hezekiah the prince of My people: Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father: I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears; behold, I will heal thee; on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD.

6 I dodaæu ti vijeku petnaest godina, i izbaviæu tebe i ovaj grad iz ruku cara Asirskoga, i braniæu ovaj grad sebe radi i radi Davida sluge svojega.

And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for Mine own sake, and for My servant David's sake.'

7 Potom reèe Isaija: donesite grudu suhih smokava. I donesavši priviše mu na otok, i iscijeli se.

And Isaiah said: 'Take a cake of figs.' And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.

8 A Jezekija reèe Isaiji: šta æe biti znak da æe me Gospod iscijeliti i da æu do tri dana otiæi u dom Gospodnji?

And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah: 'What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up unto the house of the LORD the third day?'

9 A Isaija reèe: ovo neka ti bude znak od Gospoda da æe uèiniti Gospod što je rekao: hoæeš li da otide sjen deset koljenaca naprijed ili da se vrati deset koljenaca natrag?

And Isaiah said: 'This shall be the sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that He hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?

10 A Jezekija reèe: lako je da sjen otide naprijed deset koljenaca; nemoj, nego neka se vrati sjen deset koljenaca natrag.

And Hezekiah answered: 'It is a light thing for the shadow to decline ten degrees; nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees.'

11 I Isaija prorok zavapi ka Gospodu, i vrati Gospod sjen po koljencima po kojima bijaše otišao na sunèaniku Ahazovu natrag za deset koljenaca.

And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD; and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down on the dial of Ahaz.

12 U to vrijeme Verodah-Valadan, sin Valadanov, car Vavilonski posla knjigu s darom Jezekiji; jer bješe èuo da je bolestan Jezekija.

At that time Berodach-baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent a letter and a present unto Hezekiah; for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.

13 I Jezekija saslušav poslanike pokaza im sve riznice svoje, srebro i zlato i mirise, i najbolje ulje, i kuæu gdje mu bješe oružje, i što se god nalažaše u riznicama njegovijem, ne osta ništa da im ne pokaza Jezekija u kuæi svojoj i u svemu gospodstvu svojem.

And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and showed them all his treasure-house, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil, and the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures; there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah showed them not.

14 Tada doðe prorok Isaija k caru Jezekiji i reèe mu: šta su govorili ti ljudi i odakle su došli k tebi? A Jezekija reèe: iz daljne zemlje došli su, iz Vavilona.

Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him: 'What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee?' And Hezekiah said: 'They are come from a far country, even from Babylon.'

15 A on reèe: šta su vidjeli u tvom dvoru? A Jezekija reèe: vidjeli su sve što ima u mom dvoru; nije ostalo ništa u riznicama mojim da im nijesam pokazao.

And he said: 'What have they seen in thy house?' And Hezekiah answered: 'All that is in my house have they seen; there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.'

16 Tada reèe Isaija Jezekiji: èuj rijeè Gospodnju.

And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah: 'Hear the word of the LORD.

17 Evo doæi æe vrijeme kad æe se odnijeti u Vavilon sve što ima u kuæi tvojoj, i što su sabirali oci tvoji do danas, neæe ostati ništa, veli Gospod.

Behold, the days come, that all that is in thy house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried to Babylon; nothing shall be left, saith the LORD.

18 I sinove tvoje, koji æe izaæi od tebe, koje æeš roditi, uzeæe da budu dvorani u dvoru cara Vavilonskoga.

And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, whom thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be officers in the palace of the king of Babylon.'

19 A Jezekija reèe Isaiji: dobra je rijeè Gospodnja, koju si rekao. Još reèe: je li? za mojega vijeka biæe mir i vjera?

Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah: 'Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken.' He said moreover: 'Is it not so, if peace and truth shall be in my days?'

20 A ostala djela Jezekijina i sva junaštva njegova, i kako je naèinio jezero, i vodu doveo u grad, nije li zapisano u dnevniku careva Judinijeh?

Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made the pool, and the conduit, and brought water into the city, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

21 I poèinu Jezekija kod otaca svojih, a na njegovo se mjesto zacari Manasija sin njegov.

And Hezekiah slept with his fathers; and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
