II Kings 19

And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD.
Čuvši to, kralj Ezekija razdrije svoje haljine, obuče kostrijet i ode u Dom Jahvin.
And he sent Eliakim, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
Zatim posla Elijakima, upravitelja dvora, pisara Šebnu i svećeničke starješine, odjevene u kostrijet, k proroku Izaiji, sinu Amosovu.
And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
Oni mu rekoše: "Ovako veli Ezekija: 'Ovo je dan nevolje, kazne i rugla. Prispješe djeca do rođenja, a nema snage da se rode.
It may be the LORD thy God will hear all the words of Rab–shakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God; and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that are left.
Možda je Jahve, Bog tvoj, čuo što je rekao veliki peharnik koga je asirski kralj, gospodar njegov, poslao da se izruguje Bogu živome i možda će Jahve, Bog tvoj, kazniti riječi koje je čuo! Pomoli se pobožno za Ostatak koji je još preostao.'"
So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
Kad su sluge kralja Ezekije stigle k Izaiji,
And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words which thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
on im reče: "Kažite svome gospodaru: 'Ovako veli Jahve: Ne boj se riječi koje si čuo kada su na me hulile sluge kralja asirskoga.
Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
Udahnut ću u njega duh i kad čuje jednu vijest, vratit će se u svoju zemlju. I učinit ću da u svojoj zemlji pogine od mača.'"
So Rab–shakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
Veliki peharnik vrati se i nađe asirskoga kralja gdje opsjeda Libnu, jer bijaše čuo da je kralj otišao iz Lakiša.
And when he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, Behold, he is come out to fight against thee: he sent messengers again unto Hezekiah, saying,
Dočuo je, naime, vijest o Tirhaku, kralju etiopskome: "Evo, izašao je da se bori protiv tebe." Tada Sanherib ponovo uputi poslanike da kažu Ezekiji:
Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
"Ovako recite judejskom kralju Ezekiji: 'Neka te ne vara tvoj Bog, u koga se uzdaš, govoreći ti: Jeruzalem neće pasti u ruke asirskog kralja!
Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly: and shalt thou be delivered?
Ti znaš što su asirski kraljevi učinili svim zemljama izručivši ih prokletstvu! A ti, ti li ćeš se spasiti?
Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed; as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which were in Thelasar?
Jesu li bogovi spasili narode što su ih uništili moji oci: Gozance, Harane, Resefce i Edence, u Tel Basaru?
Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivah?
Gdje je kralj hamatski, kralj arpadski, kralj Sefarvajima, Hene i Ive?'"
And Hezekiah received the letter of the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up into the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.
Ezekija primi pismo iz ruke poslanikove i pročita ga. Zatim uđe u Dom Jahvin i razvi ga ondje pred Jahvom.
And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, O LORD God of Israel, which dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth.
I pomoli se Ezekija Jahvi ovako: "Jahve, Bože Izraelov, koji stoluješ nad kerubima, ti si Bog jedini nad svim zemaljskim kraljevstvima, ti si stvorio nebo i zemlju.
LORD, bow down thine ear, and hear: open, LORD, thine eyes, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent him to reproach the living God.
Prikloni uho, Jahve, i počuj, otvori oči, Jahve, i vidi! Sanheribove čujder riječi koje poruči da izruga Boga živoga.
Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed the nations and their lands,
Istina je, o Jahve, asirski su kraljevi zatrli narode i zemlje njihove;
And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them.
pobacali im u oganj bogove; jer ne bijahu bogovi to, već djela ruku ljudskih, od drveta i kamena; zato ih i uništiše.
Now therefore, O LORD our God, I beseech thee, save thou us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD God, even thou only.
Ali sada, Jahve, Bože naš, izbavi nas iz ruke njegove da spoznaju sva kraljevstva zemlje da si ti, Jahve, Bog jedini."
Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard.
Tada Izaija, sin Amosov, poruči Ezekiji: "Ovako veli Jahve, Bog Izraelov: 'Uslišah molitvu koju mi uputi zbog Sanheriba, kralja asirskog.'
This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin the daughter of Zion hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
Evo riječi što je Jahve objavi protiv njega: Prezire te, ruga ti se djevica, kći sionska; za tobom maše glavom kći jeruzalemska.
Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.
Koga si grdio, hulio? Na koga si glasno vikao, ohol pogled dizao? Na Sveca Izraelova!
By thy messengers thou hast reproached the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots I am come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon, and will cut down the tall cedar trees thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the lodgings of his borders, and into the forest of his Carmel.
Po slugama si svojim vrijeđao Gospoda. Govorio si: s mnoštvom kola ja popeh se na vrh gora, na najviše vrhunce Libanona. Posjekoh mu cedre najviše i čemprese ponajljepše. Dosegoh mu vrh najviši i vrt njegov šumoviti.
I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of besieged places.
Kopao sam i pio sam vode tuđe; stopalima tad isuših sve rijeke egipatske.
Hast thou not heard long ago how I have done it, and of ancient times that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste fenced cities into ruinous heaps.
Čuješ li dobro? Odavna to sam snovao, od iskona smišljao, sada to ostvarujem: na tebi je da prometneš gradove tvrde u razvaline.
Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up.
Stanovnici njini, nemoćni, prepadnuti i smeteni, bjehu kao trava u polju, kao mlado zelenilo, kao trava vrh krovova opaljena vjetrom istočnim.
But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.
Znam kad se dižeš i kad sjedaš, kad izlaziš i kad se vraćaš.
Because thy rage against me and thy tumult is come up into mine ears, therefore I will put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
Jer bjesnio si na me i jer obijest tvoja do ušiju mi dođe, prsten ću ti provuć' kroz nozdrve, uzde stavit' u žvale, vratit ću te putem kojim si i došao!
And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such things as grow of themselves, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruits thereof.
A znak nek' ti bude ovo: Ove će se godine jesti što se samo okrÄunÄi, dogodine što samo uzraste, a treće godine sijte i žanjite, sadite vinograde, jedite im rod.
And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall yet again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
Preživjeli iz kuće Judine žilje će pustit' u dubinu, plodom rodit' u visinu.
For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.
Jer će iz Jeruzalema izići Ostatak, Sačuvani s gore Siona. Sve će to učinit' ljubomora Jahvina!
Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a bank against it.
Zato ovo govori Jahve o kralju asirskom: 'U ovaj grad on ući neće, ovamo strijele svoje neće izmetati, k njemu neće ni štit okrenuti, niti oko njega nasipe kopati.
By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD.
Vratit će se putem kojim je i došao, u grad ovaj neće ući' - Jahvina je riječ.
For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
Grad ću ovaj štitit, spasiti ga, sebe radi i rad sluge svoga Davida."
And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
Te iste noći iziđe Anđeo Jahvin i pobi u asirskom taboru stotinu osamdeset i pet tisuća ljudi. Ujutro kad je valjalo ustati, gle, bijahu ondje sve sami mrtvaci.
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
Sanherib podiže tabor i ode. Vratio se u Ninivu.
And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Armenia. And Esar–haddon his son reigned in his stead.
Jednoga dana, dok se klanjao u hramu svoga boga Nisroka, njegovi ga sinovi Adramelek i Sareser ubiše mačem i pobjegoše u zemlju araratsku. Na njegovo se mjesto zakralji sin mu Asar-Hadon.
