¹V tistih dneh zboli Ezekija na smrt. In pride k njemu Izaija, sin Amozov, prorok, ter mu reče: Tako pravi GOSPOD: Oporóči za hišo svojo, kajti v kratkem umreš in ne boš živel.

¹In those days hath Hezekiah been sick unto death, and come unto him doth Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet, and saith unto him, `Thus said Jehovah: Give a charge to thy house, for thou art dying, and dost not live.`

²Tedaj obrne Ezekija obličje v steno in moli h GOSPODU, govoreč:

²And he turneth round his face unto the wall, and prayeth unto Jehovah, saying,

³Ah, GOSPOD, spomni se, prosim, da sem neprestano hodil pred teboj v resnici in z nerazdeljenim srcem ter delal, kar je dobro v tvojih očeh. In plakal je Ezekija, silno plakal.

³`I pray Thee, O Jehovah, remember, I pray Thee, how I have walked habitually before Thee in truth, and with a perfect heart, and that which [is] good in Thine eyes I have done;` and Hezekiah weepeth — a great weeping.

⁴In zgodi se, ko ni bil Izaija še prešel sredine mesta, da pride beseda GOSPODOVA do njega, veleč:

⁴And it cometh to pass — Isaiah hath not gone out to the middle court — that the word of Jehovah hath been unto him, saying,

⁵Vrni se in reci Ezekiju, vojvodi ljudstva mojega: Tako pravi GOSPOD, Bog očeta tvojega Davida: Čul sem molitev tvojo, solze tvoje sem videl. Glej, ozdravim te; tretji dan pojdeš gori v hišo GOSPODOVO.

⁵`Turn back, and thou hast said unto Hezekiah, leader of My people: Thus said Jehovah, God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tear, lo, I give healing to thee, on the third day thou dost go up to the house of Jehovah;

⁶In pridenem tvojim dnem petnajst let in iz roke asirskega kralja otmem tebe in to mesto, in branil bom to mesto zaradi sebe in zaradi Davida, hlapca svojega.

⁶and I have added to thy days fifteen years, and out of the hand of the king of Asshur I deliver thee and this city, and have covered over this city for Mine own sake, and for the sake of David My servant.`

⁷In Izaija veli: Prinesite gručo smokev! In jo prineso ter polože na ulje, in je ozdravel.

⁷And Isaiah saith, `Take ye a cake of figs;` and they take and lay [it] on the boil, and he reviveth.

⁸Rekel je pa Ezekija Izaiju: Kaj je znamenje, da me GOSPOD ozdravi in da pojdem tretji dan gori v hišo GOSPODOVO?

⁸And Hezekiah saith unto Isaiah, `What [is] the sign that Jehovah doth give healing to me, that I have gone up on the third day to the house of Jehovah?`

⁹In Izaija reče: To ti bodi znamenje od GOSPODA, da bo storil GOSPOD, kar je govoril: Naj li gre senca deset stopinj naprej ali naj gre deset stopinj nazaj?

⁹And Isaiah saith, `This [is] to thee the sign from Jehovah, that Jehovah doth the thing that He hath spoken — The shadow hath gone on ten degrees, or it doth turn back ten degrees?`

¹⁰Ezekija reče: Lahko se senca pomakne deset stopinj naprej; nočem tega, temuč naj se vrne senca deset stopinj nazaj!

¹⁰And Hezekiah saith, `It hath been light for the shadow to incline ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow turn backward ten degrees.`

¹¹In Izaija prorok je klical h GOSPODU; in on je storil, da je šla senca po stopinjah, po katerih je bila šla doli na sončni uri Ahazovi, za deset stopinj nazaj.

¹¹And Isaiah the prophet calleth unto Jehovah, and He bringeth back the shadow by the degrees that it had gone down in the degrees of Ahaz — backward ten degrees.

¹²V tistem času je poslal Berodak Baladan, sin Baladanov, kralj babilonski, pismo in dar Ezekiju; slišal je namreč, da je bil Ezekija bolan.

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

¹³In Ezekija jih je zaslišal in jim je razkazal vso hišo dragocenosti svojih, srebro in zlato in dišave in najboljše olje in vso orožnico svojo in vse, kar se je našlo v zakladih njegovih; ničesar ni bilo v hiši njegovi, ne v vsej oblasti njegovi, da bi jim ne bil Ezekija pokazal.

¹³and Hezekiah hearkeneth unto them, and sheweth them all the house of his treasury, 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 treasuries; there hath not been a thing that Hezekiah hath not shewed them, in his house, and in all his dominion.

¹⁴Tedaj pride Izaija prorok h kralju Ezekiju ter mu reče: Kaj so rekli oni možje? in odkod so prišli k tebi? Ezekija pa reče: Iz daljne dežele so prišli k meni, iz Babilona.

¹⁴And 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 — from Babylon.`

¹⁵In vpraša: Kaj so videli v hiši tvoji? Ezekija odgovori: Karkoli je v hiši moji, so videli; ničesar ni bilo, da bi jim ne bil pokazal, v zakladih mojih.

¹⁵And 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.`

¹⁶Nato reče Izaija Ezekiju: Čuj besedo GOSPODOVO!

¹⁶And Isaiah saith unto Hezekiah, `Hear a word of Jehovah:

¹⁷Glej, dnevi pridejo, ko se odnese vse, kar je v hiši tvoji in kar so shranili očetje tvoji do tega dne, v Babilon; nič ne bo ostalo, pravi GOSPOD.

¹⁷Lo, days are coming, and borne hath been all that [is] in thy house, and that thy father have treasured up till this day, to Babylon; there is not left a thing, said Jehovah;

¹⁸Tudi sinov tvojih, ki pridejo iz tebe, ki jih boš rodil, vzemo, da bodo dvorniki v gradu kralja babilonskega.

¹⁸and of thy sons who go out from thee, whom thou begettest, they take away, and they have been eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.`

¹⁹In Ezekija reče Izaiju: Dobra je beseda GOSPODOVA, ki si jo govoril. Še reče: Ni li tako? samo da bode mir in stanovitnost v dnevih mojih!

¹⁹And Hezekiah saith unto Isaiah, `Good [is] the word of Jehovah that thou hast spoken;` and he saith, `Is it not — if peace and truth are in my days?`

²⁰A druge zgodbe Ezekijeve in vsa moč njegova in kako je napravil ribnik in vodovod in napeljal vodo v mesto, ali ni zapisano v knjigi letopisov kraljev Judovih?In Ezekija je legel k očetom svojim, in Manasej, sin njegov, je kraljeval na mestu njegovem.

²⁰And the rest of the matters of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made the pool, and the conduit, and bringeth in the waters to the city, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?

²¹In Ezekija je legel k očetom svojim, in Manasej, sin njegov, je kraljeval na mestu njegovem.

²¹And Hezekiah lieth with his fathers, and reign doth Manasseh his son in his stead.
