II Kings 20

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

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.'"

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

Ezekija se okrenu zidu i ovako se pomoli Jahvi:

I beseech thee, O LORD, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.

"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.

And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying,

Izaija još ne bijaše izišao iz središnjeg predvorja kad mu je stigla riječ Jahvina:

Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain 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.

"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.

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.

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.'"

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

Izaija naloži: "Uzmite oblog od smokava, privijte mu ga na čir i on će ozdraviti."

And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD 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?"

And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of 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?

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?"

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

Ezekija odgovori: "Lako je sjeni pomaknuti se deset stupnjeva naprijed! Ne! Neka se sjena vrati natrag za deset stupnjeva!"

And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial 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.

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

U to vrijeme posla babilonski kralj Merodak-Baladan, sin Baladanov, pisma s darom Ezekiji, jer bijaše čuo da se razbolio i ozdravio.

And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and shewed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all 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 shewed them not.

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.

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.

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."

And he said, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All the things that are in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them.

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."

And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD.

Tada Izaija reče Ezekiji: "Čuj riječ Jahvinu:

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

And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace 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."

Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. And he said, Is it not good, if peace and truth be in my days?

Ezekija odgovori Izaiji: "Povoljna je riječ koju ti je Jahve objavio." A mislio je: "Zašto ne? Ako bude mira i sigurnosti za moga života!"

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

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

Ezekija je počinuo sa svojim ocima, a njegov sin Manaše zakralji se mjesto njega.
