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 letters and a present to Hezekiah; for he 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.
2Hezekiah was pleased with them, and showed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, 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 didn’t show 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 Isaiah the prophet came to king Hezekiah, and asked him, “What did these men say? Where did they come from to you?” Hezekiah said, “They have come from a country far from me, even 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.'
4Then he asked, “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.”
5Siis Jesaja ütles Hiskijale: 'Kuule vägede Issanda sõna:
5Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of Yahweh of Armies:
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.
6‘Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have stored up until this day, will be carried to Babylon. Nothing will be left,’ says Yahweh.
7Ja sinu poegadest, kes sinust põlvnevad, kes sulle sünnivad, võetakse mõned ja neist saavad õukonnateenrid Paabeli kuninga palees.'
7‘They will take away your sons who will issue from you, whom you shall father, and they will be eunuchs in the king of Babylon’s palace.’”
8Siis Hiskija ütles Jesajale: 'Issanda sõna, mida sa oled kõnelnud, on hea.' Sest ta mõtles: 'Minu päevil on ju ometi rahu ning julgeolek.'
8Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “Yahweh’s word which you have spoken is good.” He said moreover, “For there will be peace and truth in my days.”
