1Sel ajal läkitas Paabeli kuningas Merodak-Baladan, Baladani poeg, saadikud kingitustega Hiskija juurde, kui ta oli kuulnud tema haigusest ning paranemisest.
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.
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.
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.
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.'
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.
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.'
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.
5Siis Jesaja ütles Hiskijale: 'Kuule vägede Issanda sõna:
5And Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Hear the word of Jehovah of hosts:
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.
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.
7Ja sinu poegadest, kes sinust põlvnevad, kes sulle sünnivad, võetakse mõned ja neist saavad õukonnateenrid Paabeli kuninga palees.'
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.
8Siis Hiskija ütles Jesajale: 'Issanda sõna, mida sa oled kõnelnud, on hea.' Sest ta mõtles: 'Minu päevil on ju ometi rahu ning julgeolek.'
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.
