2 Kings 19

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 When King Hezekiah heard this, he tore his garments, wrapped himself in sackcloth, and went into the temple of the LORD.	1 Čuvši to, kralj Ezekija razdrije svoje haljine, obuče kostrijet i ode u dom Jahvin.
2 He sent Eliakim, the master of the palace, Shebnah the scribe, and the elders of the priests, wrapped in sackcloth, to tell the prophet Isaiah, son of Amoz,	2 Zatim posla Elijakima, upravitelja dvora, pisara Šebnu i svećeničke starješine, odjevene u kostrijet, k proroku Izaiji, sinu Amosovu.
3 "Thus says Hezekiah: 'This is a day of distress, of rebuke, and of disgrace. Children are at the point of birth, but there is no strength to bring them forth.	3 Oni mu rekoše: »Ovako veli Ezekija: ‘Ovo je dan nevolje, kazne i rugla. Prispješe djeca do rođenja, a nema snage da se rode.
4 Perhaps the LORD, your God, will hear all the words of the commander, whom his master, the king of Assyria, sent to taunt the living God, and will rebuke him for the words which the LORD, your God, has heard. So send up a prayer for the remnant that is here.'"	4 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.’«
5 When the servants of King Hezekiah had come to Isaiah,	5 Kad su sluge kralja Ezekije stigle k Izaiji,
6 he said to them, "Tell this to your master: 'Thus says the LORD: Do not be frightened by the words you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.	6 on im reče: »Kažite svome gospodaru: ‘Ovako veli Jahve: Ne boj se riječi koje si čuo kada su na me hulile sluge kralja asirskoga.
7 I am about to put in him such a spirit that, when he hears a certain report, he will return to his own land, and there I will cause him to fall by the sword.'"	7 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.’«
8 When the commander, on his return, heard that the king of Assyria had withdrawn from Lachish, he found him besieging Libnah.	8 Veliki peharnik vrati se i nađe asirskoga kralja gdje opsjeda Libnu, jer bijaše čuo da je kralj otišao iz Lakiša.
9 The king of Assyria heard a report that Tirhakah, king of Ethiopia, had come out to fight against him. Again he sent envoys to Hezekiah with this message:	9 Dočuo je, naime, vijest o Tirhaku, kralju etiopskome: »Evo, izašao je da se bori protiv tebe.« Tada Sanherib ponovno uputi poslanike da kažu Ezekiji:
10 "Thus shall you say to Hezekiah, king of Judah: 'Do not let your God on whom you rely deceive you by saying that Jerusalem will not be handed over to the king of Assyria.	10 »Ovako recite judejskom kralju Ezekiji: ‘Neka te ne vara tvoj Bog, u koga se uzdaš, govoreći ti: Jeruzalem neće pasti u ruke asirskog kralja!
11 You have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all other countries: they doomed them! Will you, then, be saved?	11 Ti znaš što su asirski kraljevi učinili svim zemljama izručivši ih prokletstvu! A ti, ti li ćeš se spasiti?
12 Did the gods of the nations whom my fathers destroyed save them? Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, or the Edenites in Telassar?	12 Jesu li bogovi spasili narode što su ih uništili moji oci: Gozance, Harane, Resefce i Edence, u Tel Basaru?
13 Where are the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, or the kings of the cities Sepharvaim, Hena and Avva?'"	13 Gdje je kralj hamatski, kralj arpadski, kralj Sefarvajima, Hene i Ive?’«
14 Hezekiah took the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it; then he went up to the temple of the LORD, and spreading it out before him,	14 Ezekija primi pismo iz ruke poslanikove i pročita ga. Zatim uđe u dom Jahvin i razvi ga ondje pred Jahvom.
15 he prayed in the LORD'S presence: "O LORD, God of Israel, enthroned upon the cherubim! You alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made the heavens and the earth.	15 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.
16 Incline your ear, O LORD, and listen! Open your eyes, O LORD, and see! Hear the words of Sennacherib which he sent to taunt the living God.	16 Prikloni uho, Jahve, i počuj, otvori oči, Jahve, i vidi! Sanheribove čujder riječi koje poruči da izruga Boga živoga.
17 Truly, O LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands,	17 Istina je, o Jahve, asirski su kraljevi zatrli narode i zemlje njihove;
18 and cast their gods into the fire; they destroyed them because they were not gods, but the work of human hands, wood and stone.	18 pobacali im u oganj bogove; jer ne bijahu bogovi to, već djela ruku ljudskih, od drveta i kamena; zato ih i uništiše.
19 Therefore, O LORD, our God, save us from the power of this man, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you alone, O LORD, are God."	19 Ali sada, Jahve, Bože naš, izbavi nas iz ruke njegove da spoznaju sva kraljevstva zemlje da si ti, Jahve, Bog jedini.«
20 Then Isaiah, son of Amoz, sent this message to Hezekiah: "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, in answer to your prayer for help against Sennacherib, king of Assyria: I have listened!	20 Tada Izaija, sin Amosov, poruči Ezekiji: »Ovako veli Jahve, Bog Izraelov: ‘Uslišah molitvu koju mi uputi zbog Sanheriba, kralja asirskog.’
21 This is the word the LORD has spoken concerning him: " 'She despises you, laughs you to scorn, the virgin daughter Zion! Behind you she wags her head, daughter Jerusalem.	21 Evo riječi što je Jahve objavi protiv njega: Prezire te, ruga ti se djevica, kći sionska; za tobom maše glavom kći jeruzalemska.
22 Whom have you insulted and blasphemed, against whom have you raised your voice'And lifted up your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel!	22 Koga si grdio, hulio? Na koga si glasno vikao, ohol pogled dizao? Na Sveca Izraelova!
23 Through your servants you have insulted the LORD. You said: With my many chariots I climbed the mountain heights, the recesses of Lebanon; I cut down its lofty cedars, its choice cypresses; I reached the remotest heights, its forest park.	23 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.
24 I dug wells and drank water in foreign lands; I dried up with the soles of my feet all the rivers of Egypt.	24 Kopao sam i pio sam vode tuđe; stopalima tad isuših sve rijeke egipatske.
25 " 'Have you not heard? Long ago I prepared it, From days of old I planned it. Now I have brought it to pass: That you should reduce fortified cities into heaps of ruins,	25 Čuješ li dobro? Odavna to sam snovao, od iskona smišljao, sada to ostvarujem: na tebi je da prometneš gradove tvrde u razvaline.
26 While their inhabitants, shorn of power, are dismayed and ashamed, Becoming like the plants of the field, like the green growth, like the scorched grass on the housetops.	26 Stanovnici njini, nemoćni, prepadnuti i smeteni, bjehu kao trava u polju, kao mlado zelenilo, kao trava vrh krovova opaljena vjetrom istočnim.
27 I am aware whether you stand or sit; I know whether you come or go,	27 Znam kad se dižeš i kad sjedaš, kad izlaziš i kad se vraćaš.
28 and also your rage against me. Because of your rage against me and your fury which has reached my ears, I will put my hook in your nose and my bit in your mouth, and make you return the way you came.	28 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!
29 " 'This shall be a sign for you: this year you shall eat the aftergrowth, next year, what grows of itself; But in the third year, sow and reap, plant vineyards and eat their fruit!	29 A znak nek’ ti bude ovo: Ove će se godine jesti što se sámo òkrûnî, dogodine što samo uzraste, a treće godine sijte i žanjite, sadite vinograde, jedite im rod.
30 The remaining survivors of the house of Judah shall again strike root below and bear fruit above.	30 Preživjeli iz kuće Judine žilje će pustit’ u dubinu, plodom rodit’ u visinu.
31 For out of Jerusalem shall come a remnant, and from Mount Zion, survivors. The zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.'	31 Jer će iz Jeruzalema izići Ostatak, Sačuvani s gore Siona. Sve će to učinit’ ljubomora Jahvina!
32 "Therefore, thus says the LORD concerning the king of Assyria: 'He shall not reach this city, nor shoot an arrow at it, nor come before it with a shield, nor cast up siege-works against it.	32 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.
33 He shall return by the same way he came, without entering the city, says the LORD.	33 Vratit će se putem kojim je i došao, u grad ovaj neće ući’ – Jahvina je riječ.
34 I will shield and save this city for my own sake, and for the sake of my servant David.'"	34 ‘Grad ću ovaj štitit’, spasiti ga, sebe radi i rad’ sluge svoga Davida.’«
35 That night the angel of the LORD went forth and struck down one hundred and eighty-five thousand men in the Assyrian camp. Early the next morning, there they were, all the corpses of the dead.	35 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.
36 So Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, broke camp, and went back home to Nineveh.	36 Sanherib podiže tabor i ode. Vratio se u Ninivu.
37 When he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer slew him with the sword and fled into the land of Ararat. His son Esarhaddon reigned in his stead.	37 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.
