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

¹At that time hath Merodach-Baladan, son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah, when he heareth that he hath been sick, and is become strong.

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.

²And Hezekiah rejoiceth over them, and sheweth them the house of his spices, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the good ointment, and all the house of his vessels, and all that hath been found in his treasures; there hath not been a thing in his house, and in all his dominion, that Hezekiah hath not shewed them.

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.

³And Isaiah the prophet cometh in unto king Hezekiah, and saith unto him, `What said these men? and whence come they unto thee?` And Hezekiah saith, `From a land afar off they have come unto me — from Babylon.`

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.

⁴And he saith, `What saw they in thy house?` and Hezekiah saith, `All that [is] in my house they saw; there hath not been a thing that I have not shewed them among my treasures.`

⁵Vtedy riekol Izaiáš Ezechiášovi: Počuj slovo Hospodina Zástupov!

⁵And Isaiah saith unto Hezekiah, `Hear a word of Jehovah of Hosts:

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.

⁶Lo, days are coming, and borne hath been all that [is] in thy house, and that thy fathers have treasured up till this day, to Babylon; there is not left a thing, said Jehovah;

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

⁷and of thy sons who come forth from thee, whom thou begettest, they take, and they have been eunuchs in a palace of the king of Babylon.`

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

⁸And Hezekiah saith unto Isaiah, `Good [is] the word of Jehovah that thou hast spoken;` and he saith, `Because there is peace and truth in my days.`
