¹V tých dňoch onemocnel Ezechiáš na smrť. A prišiel k nemu Izaiáš, syn Ámosov, prorok, a riekol mu: Takto hovorí Hospodin: Zriaď svoj dom, lebo zomrieš a nebudeš žiť.

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.’”

²A obrátil svoju tvár ku stene a modlil sa Hospodinovi a povedal:

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

³Prosím, ó, Hospodine, rozpomeň sa na to, že som chodil pred tebou v pravde a celým srdcom úprimným a robil som to, čo je dobré v tvojich očiach.- A Ezechiáš plakal veľmi.

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.

⁴A stalo sa, keď ešte nebol vyšiel Izaiáš ani do prostredného dvora, že stalo sa k nemu slovo Hospodinovo povediac:

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

⁵Vráť sa a povedz Ezechiášovi, vodcovi môjho ľudu: Takto hovorí Hospodin, Bôh Dávida, tvojho otca: Počul som tvoju modlitbu, videl som tvoje slzy. Hľa, uzdravím ťa; tretieho dňa vyjdeš hore do domu Hospodinovho.

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.

⁶A pridám ku tvojim dňom pätnásť rokov a z ruky assýrskeho kráľa ťa vytrhnem i toto mesto a budem chrániť toto mesto pre seba a pre Dávida, svojho služobníka.

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.”’”

⁷A Izaiáš riekol: Vezmite hrudu suchých fíkov. A vzali a priložili na vred, a bol uzdravený a žil.

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

⁸A Ezechiáš povedal Izaiášovi: Čo bude znamením toho, že ma uzdraví Hospodin, a že tretieho dňa vyjdem hore do domu Hospodinovho?

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?”

⁹Na to riekol Izaiáš: Toto ti bude znamením od Hospodina, že Hospodin učiní vec, ktorú hovoril: Či chceš, aby tieň postúpil o desať stupňov a či aby sa vrátil o desať stupňov a či by sa vrátil o desať stupňov?

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?”

¹⁰A Ezechiáš odpovedal: Ľahko je tieňu nakloniť sa a tak postúpiť o desať stupňov. Nie tak, ale nech sa tieň vráti o desať stupňov nazpät.

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

¹¹Vtedy volal prorok Izaiáš k Hospodinovi, a navrátil tieň po stupňoch, ktorý bol sišiel na slnečných hodinách Achazových, nazpät o desať stupňov.-

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.

¹²V tom čase poslal Berodach Baladán, syn Baladánov, babylonský kráľ, Ezechiášovi list a dar, pretože počul, že bol Ezechiáš nemocný.

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.

¹³A Ezechiáš ich vypočul a ukázal im všetky schrany svojich klenotov, striebro i zlato, voňavé veci aj výborný olej i svoju zbrojáreň i všetko, čo sa nachádzalo v jeho pokladoch; nebolo ničoho, čo by im nebol Ezechiáš ukázal vo svojom dome i v celom svojom panstve.

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.

¹⁴Potom prišiel prorok Izaiáš ku kráľovi Ezechiášovi a riekol mu: Čo povedali tí mužovia a odkiaľ prišli k tebe? A Ezechiáš povedal: Prišli z ďalekej zeme, z Babylona.

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.”

¹⁵A riekol: Čo videli v tvojom dome? A Ezechiáš povedal: Videli všetko, čo je v mojom dome. Nie je ničoho v mojich pokladoch, čoho by som im nebol ukázal.

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.”

¹⁶Vtedy riekol Izaiáš Ezechiášovi: Počuj slovo Hospodinovo!

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

¹⁷Hľa, prijdú dni, že všetko, čo je v tvojom dome, a čo nashromaždili tvoji otcovia až do tohoto dňa, bude odnesené do Babylona; nič nezostane, hovorí Hospodin.

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.

¹⁸Aj z tvojich synov, ktorí pojdú z teba, ktorých splodíš, vezmú niektorých, a budú komorníkmi v paláci babylonského kráľa.

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.’”

¹⁹Na to povedal Ezechiáš Izaiášovi: Dobré je slovo Hospodinovo, ktoré si hovoril. A ešte povedal: Lebo či nie je dobré, akže pokoj a pravda bude za mojich dní?

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?”

²⁰A ostatné deje Ezechiášove a všetka jeho udatnosť a jako spravil rybník a vodovod a voviedol vodu do mesta, či nie je to napísané v knihe letopisov kráľov Júdových?

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?

²¹A tak ľahol Ezechiáš a ležal so svojimi otcami, a kraľoval Manasses, jeho syn, miesto neho.

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