1At that time Merodach-baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah; for he heard that he had been sick, and was recovered.
1Sel ajal läkitas Paabeli kuningas Merodak-Baladan, Baladani poeg, saadikud kingitustega Hiskija juurde, kui ta oli kuulnud tema haigusest ning paranemisest.
2And Hezekiah was glad of them, and showed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil, and all the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah showed them not.
2Ja Hiskija tundis neist rõõmu ja näitas neile oma varaaita, hõbedat ja kulda, kalleid rohte ja parimat õli ja kogu oma sõjariistade kambrit ning kõike, mis leidus ta varanduste hulgas; Hiskija ei jätnud neile midagi näitamata oma kojas ja kogu oma valitsemisalal.
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.
3Aga prohvet Jesaja tuli kuningas Hiskija juurde ja küsis temalt: 'Mida need mehed rääkisid ja kust nad su juurde tulid?' Ja Hiskija vastas: 'Nad tulid mu juurde kaugelt maalt, Paabelist.'
4Then said he, What have they seen in thy house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in my house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not showed them.
4Siis ta küsis: 'Mida nad su kojas nägid?' Ja Hiskija vastas: 'Nad nägid kõike, mis mu kojas on; oma varanduste hulgast ei jätnud ma midagi neile näitamata.'
5Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of Jehovah of hosts:
5Siis Jesaja ütles Hiskijale: 'Kuule vägede Issanda sõna:
6Behold, the days are coming, when all that is in thy house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith Jehovah.
6Vaata, päevad tulevad, mil kõik, mis su kojas on ja mis su vanemad tänapäevani on kogunud, viiakse ära Paabelisse! Mitte midagi ei jää järele, ütleb Issand.
7And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, whom thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
7Ja sinu poegadest, kes sinust põlvnevad, kes sulle sünnivad, võetakse mõned ja neist saavad õukonnateenrid Paabeli kuninga palees.'
8Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word of Jehovah which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.
8Siis Hiskija ütles Jesajale: 'Issanda sõna, mida sa oled kõnelnud, on hea.' Sest ta mõtles: 'Minu päevil on ju ometi rahu ning julgeolek.'
