1At that time Merodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah: for he had heard that he had been sick, and was recovered.
1V tistem času je poslal Merodak Baladan, sin Baladanov, kralj babilonski, pismo in dar Ezekiju; slišal je namreč, da je bil zbolel in zopet okreval.
2And Hezekiah was glad of them, and shewed them 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.
2In Ezekija se jih je oveselil in jim pokazal hišo dragocenosti svojih: srebro, zlato, dišave in najboljše olje, in vso orožnico svojo in vse, kar je bilo v zakladih njegovih; ničesar ni bilo v hiši njegovi in pod vso oblastjo njegovo, da bi jim tega Ezekija ne bil razkazal.
3Then 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 unto me, even from Babylon.
3Tedaj pride prorok Izaija h kralju Ezekiju in mu reče: Kaj so rekli oni možje in odkod so prišli k tebi? In Ezekija reče: Iz daljne dežele so prišli k meni, iz Babilona.
4Then said he, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them.
4In vpraša: Kaj so videli v tvoji hiši? In Ezekija odgovori: Karkoli je v hiši moji, so videli; ničesar ni bilo v zakladih mojih, česar bi jim ne bil pokazal.
5Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD of hosts:
5Tedaj reče Izaija Ezekiju: Čuj besedo GOSPODA nad vojskami!
6Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD.
6Glej, pridejo dnevi, ko se odnese v Babilon vse, kar je v hiši tvoji in kar so nabrali očetje tvoji do tega dne; nič ne ostane, pravi GOSPOD.
7And 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.
7Tudi sinov tvojih, ki pridejo iz tebe, ki jih boš rodil, vzemo, in bodo dvorniki v palači babilonskega kralja.In Ezekija reče Izaiju: Dobra je beseda GOSPODOVA, ki si jo govoril. Še reče: Saj bode mir in stanovitnost v dneh mojih.
8Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.
8In Ezekija reče Izaiju: Dobra je beseda GOSPODOVA, ki si jo govoril. Še reče: Saj bode mir in stanovitnost v dneh mojih.
