¹At that time Merodach-Baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent a letter and a present to Hezekiah; for he had heard that he had been sick and had recovered.

¹Toho času poslal Merodach Baladan, syn Baladanov, babylonský kráľ, Ezechiášovi list a dar, keď počul, že bol nemocný a že vyzdravel.

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 fine oil, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found amongst his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah did not shew them.

²A Ezechiáš sa im radoval a ukázal im dom svojich klenotov, striebro i zlato, voňavé veci aj výborný olej, celú svoju zbrojáreň i všetko, čo sa nachádzalo v jeho pokladoch; nebolo veci, ktorej by im nebol ukázal Ezechiáš vo svojom dome i v celom svojom panstve.

³Then came the prophet Isaiah to king Hezekiah, and said to him, What said these men? and from whence came they to thee? And Hezekiah said, They came from a far country to me, from Babylon.

³Potom prišiel prorok Izaiáš ku kráľovi Ezechiášovi a riekol mu: Čo povedali tí mužovia a odkiaľ prišli k tebe? A Ezechiáš odpovedal: Prišli ku mne z ďalekej zeme, z Babylona.

⁴And he said, What have they seen in thy house? And Hezekiah said, All that is in my house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewn them.

⁴A riekol: Čo videli v tvojom dome? A Ezechiáš povedal: Videli všetko, čo je v mojom dome. Nieto ničoho v mojich pokladoch, čoho by som im nebol ukázal.

⁵And Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Hear the word of Jehovah of hosts:

⁵Vtedy riekol Izaiáš Ezechiášovi: Počuj slovo Hospodina Zástupov!

⁶Behold, days come when all that is in thy house, and that which thy fathers have laid up until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith Jehovah.

⁶Hľa, prijdú dni, že všetko, čo je v tvojom dome, a čo nashromaždili tvoji otcovia až do tohoto dňa, bude odnesené do Babylona, nezostane ničoho, vraví Hospodin.

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.

⁷Aj z tvojich synov, ktorí pojdú z teba, ktorých splodíš, vezmú niektorých, a budú komorníkmi v paláci babylonského kráľa.

⁸And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, Good is the word of Jehovah which thou hast spoken. And he said, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.

⁸Na to povedal Ezechiáš Izaiášovi: Dobré je slovo Hospodinovo, ktoré si hovoril. A ešte povedal: Lebo bude pokoj a pravda za mojich dní.
