¹Neil päevil jäi Hiskija haigeks ja oli suremas. Ja prohvet Jesaja, Aamotsi poeg, tuli ta juurde ning ütles temale: 'Nõnda ütleb Issand: Sea oma elumaja asjad korda, sest sa sured ega saa terveks!'

¹In those days was Hezekiah sick to death. Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Set your house in order; for you shall die, and not live.’”

²Siis pööras Hiskija oma näo seina poole ja palus Issandat, üteldes:

²Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to Yahweh, saying,

³'Oh Issand, meenuta ometi, kuidas ma sinu ees olen elanud ustavuses ja siira südamega ja olen teinud, mis sinu silmis hea on!' Ja Hiskija nuttis kibedasti.

³“Remember now, Yahweh, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight.” Hezekiah wept bitterly.

⁴Aga Jesaja ei olnud veel väljunud keskmisest õuest, kui temale tuli Issanda sõna, kes ütles:

⁴It happened, before Isaiah had gone out into the middle part of the city, that the word of Yahweh came to him, saying,

⁵'Mine tagasi ja ütle Hiskijale, mu rahva vürstile: Nõnda ütleb Issand, su isa Taaveti Jumal: Ma olen kuulnud su palvet, ma olen näinud su silmavett. Vaata, ma teen sind terveks ja kolmandal päeval võid sa minna Issanda kotta.

⁵“Turn back, and tell Hezekiah the prince of my people, ‘Thus says Yahweh, the God of David your father, “I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Behold, I will heal you. On the third day, you shall go up to the house of Yahweh.

⁶Ma lisan su elupäevadele viisteist aastat ja ma päästan sinu ja selle linna Assuri kuninga pihust ning kaitsen seda linna iseenese pärast ja oma sulase Taaveti pärast.'

⁶I will add to your days fifteen years. I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for my own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.”’”

⁷Ja Jesaja ütles: 'Võtke üks viigimarjakakk!' Ja nad võtsid ning panid paise peale; ja ta sai terveks.

⁷Isaiah said, “Take a cake of figs.” They took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.

⁸Aga Hiskija küsis Jesajalt: 'Mis on märgiks, et Issand teeb mu terveks ja et ma kolmandal päeval võin minna Issanda kotta?'

⁸Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “What shall be the sign that Yahweh will heal me, and that I shall go up to the house of Yahweh the third day?”

⁹Ja Jesaja vastas: 'See olgu sulle märgiks Issandalt, et Issand teeb, nagu ta on ütelnud: kas peab vari minema kümme pügalat edasi või kümme pügalat tagasi?'

⁹Isaiah said, “This shall be the sign to you from Yahweh, that Yahweh will do the thing that he has spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps?”

¹⁰Ja Hiskija ütles: 'Varjul on kerge minna kümme pügalat edasi. Ei, parem mingu vari kümme pügalat tagasi!'

¹⁰Hezekiah answered, “It is a light thing for the shadow to go forward ten steps. Nay, but let the shadow return backward ten steps.”

¹¹Siis prohvet Jesaja hüüdis Issanda poole, ja tema laskis varju, kuhu see Aahase päikesekellal oli laskunud, minna kümme pügalat tagasi.

¹¹Isaiah the prophet cried to Yahweh; and he brought the shadow ten steps backward, by which it had gone down on the dial of Ahaz.

¹²Sel ajal läkitas Paabeli kuningas Merodak-Baladan, Baladani poeg, kirja ja kingitusi Hiskijale, sest ta oli kuulnud, et Hiskija oli haige olnud.

¹²At that time Berodach Baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah; for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.

¹³Ja kui Hiskija oli neid kuulda võtnud, siis ta näitas neile kogu oma varaaita, hõbedat ja kulda, kalleid rohte ja parimat õli ja oma sõjariistade kambrit ja kõike, mis ta varanduste hulgas leidus; Hiskija ei jätnud neile midagi näitamata oma kojas ja kogu oma valdusalal.

¹³Hezekiah listened to them, and showed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil, and 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 didn’t show them.

¹⁴Aga prohvet Jesaja tuli kuningas Hiskija juurde ja küsis temalt: 'Mida need mehed rääkisid ja kust nad su juurde tulid?' Ja Hiskija vastas: 'Nad tulid kaugelt maalt, Paabelist.'

¹⁴Then Isaiah the prophet came to king Hezekiah, and said to him, “What did these men say? From where did they come to you?” Hezekiah said, “They have come from a far country, even from Babylon.”

¹⁵Siis ta küsis: 'Mida nad su kojas nägid?' Ja Hiskija vastas: 'Nad nägid kõike, mis mu kojas on; ma ei jätnud neile midagi näitamata oma varanduste hulgast.'

¹⁵He said, “What have they seen in your house?” Hezekiah answered, “They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.”

¹⁶Siis Jesaja ütles Hiskijale: 'Kuule Issanda sõna:

¹⁶Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of Yahweh.

¹⁷Vaata, päevad tulevad, kui kõik, mis sul kojas on ja mis su vanemad tänapäevani on kogunud, viiakse ära Paabelisse. Mitte midagi ei jää järele, ütleb Issand.

¹⁷‘Behold, the days come, that all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have laid up in store to this day, shall be carried to Babylon. Nothing shall be left,’ says Yahweh.

¹⁸Ja sinu poegadest, kes sinust põlvnevad, kes sulle sünnivad, võetakse mõned ja neist saavad õukonnateenrid Paabeli kuninga palees.'

¹⁸‘Of your sons who shall issue from you, whom you shall father, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.’”

¹⁹Siis Hiskija ütles Jesajale: 'Issanda sõna, mida sa oled kõnelnud, on hea.' Sest ta mõtles: 'Minu päevil on ju ometi rahu ning julgeolek.'

¹⁹Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of Yahweh which you have spoken is good.” He said moreover, “Isn’t it so, if peace and truth shall be in my days?”

²⁰Ja mis veel tuleks öelda Hiskijast ja kõigist tema vägitegudest ja kuidas ta tegi tiigi ja veejuhtme ning juhtis vee linna, eks sellest ole kirjutatud Juuda kuningate Ajaraamatus?

²⁰Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made the pool, and the conduit, and brought water into the city, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

²¹Ja Hiskija läks magama oma vanemate juurde ja tema poeg Manasse sai tema asemel kuningaks.

²¹Hezekiah slept with his fathers; and Manasseh his son reigned in his place.
