2 Kings 20
1 In those days Hezekiah was ill and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him, and said to him, The Lord says, Put your house in order, for your death is near.
U ono se vrijeme Ezekija razbolje nasmrt. Prorok Izaija, sin Amosov, dođe mu i reče: “Ovako veli Jahve: 'Uredi kuću svoju jer ćeš umrijeti; nećeš ozdraviti.'”
2 Then, turning his face to the wall, he made his prayer to the Lord, saying,
Ezekija se okrenu zidu i ovako se pomoli Jahvi:
3 O Lord, keep in mind how I have been true to you with all my heart, and have done what is good in your eyes. And Hezekiah gave way to bitter weeping.
“Ah, Jahve! Sjeti se milostivo da sam pred tobom hodio vjerno i poštena srca i da sam činio što je dobro u tvojim očima.” I Ezekija briznu u gorak plač.
4 Now before Isaiah had gone out of the middle of the town, the word of the Lord came to him, saying,
Izaija još ne bijaše izišao iz središnjeg predvorja kad mu je stigla riječ Jahvina:
5 Go back and say to Hezekiah, the ruler of my people, The Lord, the God of David your father, says, Your prayer has come to my ears, and I have seen your weeping; see, I will make you well: on the third day you will go up to the house of the Lord.
“Vrati se i reci Ezekiji, glavaru moga naroda. Ovako veli Jahve, Bog tvoga oca Davida: 'Uslišao sam tvoju molitvu, vidio sam tvoje suze. Izliječit ću te; za tri dana uzići ćeš u Dom Jahvin.
6 I will give you fifteen more years of life; and I will keep you and this town safe from the hands of the king of Assyria; I will keep this town safe, for my honour, and for the honour of my servant David.
Dodat ću tvome vijeku još petnaest godina. Izbavit ću tebe i ovaj grad iz ruku asirskoga kralja; zakrilit ću ovaj grad radi sebe i sluge svoga Davida.'”
7 Then Isaiah said, Take a cake of figs. So they took it and put it on his wound, and he got better.
Izaija naloži: “Uzmite oblog od smokava, privijte mu ga na čir i on će ozdraviti.”
8 And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, What is to be the sign that the Lord will make me well, and that I will go up to the house of the Lord on the third day?
Ezekija upita Izaiju: “Po kojem ću znaku prepoznati da će me Jahve izliječiti i da ću za tri dana uzići u Dom Jahvin?”
9 And Isaiah said, This is the sign the Lord will give you, that he will do what he has said; will the shade go forward ten degrees or back?
Izaija odgovori: “Evo ti znaka od Jahve da će učiniti što je rekao: hoćeš li da se sjena pomakne za deset stupnjeva naprijed ili da se vrati za deset stupnjeva?”
10 And Hezekiah said in answer, It is a simple thing for the shade to go forward; but let it go back ten degrees.
Ezekija odgovori: “Lako je sjeni pomaknuti se deset stupnjeva naprijed! Ne! Neka se sjena vrati natrag za deset stupnjeva!”
11 Then Isaiah the prophet made prayer to the Lord, and he made the shade go back ten degrees from its position on the steps of Ahaz.
Prorok Izaija zazva Jahvu i on učini da se sjena vrati za deset stupnjeva. Sišla je za deset posljednjih stupnjeva na Ahazovu sunčaniku.
12 At that time, Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters with an offering to Hezekiah, because he had news that Hezekiah had been ill.
U to vrijeme posla babilonski kralj Merodak-Baladan, sin Baladanov, pisma s darom Ezekiji, jer bijaše čuo da se razbolio i ozdravio.
13 And Hezekiah was glad at their coming and let them see all his store of wealth, the silver and the gold and the spices and the oil of great price, and the house of his arms, and everything there was in his stores; there was nothing in all his house or his kingdom which Hezekiah did not let them see.
Ezekija se obradova tome i pokaza poslanicima svoju riznicu - srebro, zlato, miomirise, mirisavo ulje - svoju oružanu i sve što je bilo u skladištima. Nije bilo ničega u njegovu dvoru i svemu njegovu gospodarstvu što im Ezekija nije pokazao.
14 Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and said to him, What did these men say and where did they come from? And Hezekiah said, They came from a far country, even from Babylon.
Tada prorok Izaija dođe kralju Ezekiji i upita ga: “Što su rekli ti ljudi i odakle su došli k tebi?” Ezekija odgovori: “Došli su iz daleke zemlje, iz Babilona.”
15 And he said, What have they seen in your house? And Hezekiah said in answer, They saw everything in my house: there is nothing among my stores which I did not let them see.
Izaija upita dalje: “Što su vidjeli u tvojem dvoru?” Ezekija odgovori: “Vidjeli su sve što je u mojem dvoru; nema u mojim skladištima ničega što im nisam pokazao.”
16 And Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Give ear to the word of the Lord.
Tada Izaija reče Ezekiji: “Čuj riječ Jahvinu:
17 Truly, days are coming when everything in your house, and whatever your fathers have put in store till this day, will be taken away to Babylon: all will be gone, says the Lord.
'Evo dolaze dani kada će sve što je u tvojem dvoru, sve što su tvoji oci nakupili do danas, biti odneseno u Babilon. Ništa neće ostati, ' kaže Jahve.
18 And your sons, the offspring of your body, they will take away to be unsexed servants in the house of the king of Babylon.
A od sinova što poteku od tebe, što ti se rode, neke će uzeti da budu uškopljeni dvorani u palači babilonskoga kralja.”
19 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord which you have said. Then he said, ... if in my time there is peace and righteousness?
Ezekija odgovori Izaiji: “Povoljna je riječ koju ti je Jahve objavio.” A mislio je: “Zašto ne? Ako bude mira i sigurnosti za moga života!”
20 Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his power, and how he made the pool and the stream, to take water into the town, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
Ostala povijest Ezekijina, svi njegovi pothvati i kako je sagradio ribnjak i prorov da dovede vodu u grad, zar sve to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa judejskih kraljeva?
21 And Hezekiah went to rest with his fathers; and Manasseh his son became king in his place.
Ezekija je počinuo sa svojim ocima, a njegov sin Manaše zakralji se mjesto njega.
