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.

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

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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.”

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.

⁵Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of Yahweh of Armies:

⁵Vtedy riekol Izaiáš Ezechiášovi: Počuj slovo Hospodina Zástupov!

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.

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.

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.’”

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

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.”

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