Четвертая книга Царств 20
1 Во днех онех разболеся Езекиа (царь) да смерти. И вниде к нему Исаиа пророк сын Амосов и рече к нему: тако глаголет Господь: заповеждь дому твоему, умреши бо ты и не будеши жив.
In those days Hezekiah was sick and dying. Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, “The LORD says, ‘Set your house in order; for you will die, and not live.’”
2 И обрати Езекиа лице свое ко стене и помолися ко Господу, глаголя:
Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the LORD, saying,
3 Господи помяни ныне, яко истиною ходих пред Тобою и сердцем совершенным, и угодная пред очима Твоима сотворих. И плакася Езекиа плачем великим.
“Remember now, LORD, 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.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
4 И бяше Исаиа еще посреде двора, и бысть слово Господне к нему, глаголя:
Before Isaiah had gone out into the middle part of the city, the LORD’s word came to him, saying,
5 возвратися и рцы Езекии вожду людий Моих: тако глаголет Господь Бог Давида отца твоего: услышах молитву твою и видех слезы твоя: се, Аз изцелю тя, и в день третий взыдеши в дом Господень:
“Turn back, and tell Hezekiah the prince of my people, ‘The LORD, the God of David your father, says, “I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Behold, I will heal you. On the third day, you will go up to the LORD’s house.
6 и приложу к летом твоим лет пятьнадесять, и от руки царя Ассирийска избавлю тя и град сей, и защищу град сей Мене ради и Давида ради раба Моего.
I 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.”’”
7 И рече Исаиа: да возмут перевясло смоквей и да положат на вред, и изцелеет.
Isaiah said, “Take a cake of figs.” They took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.
8 И рече Езекиа ко Исаии: кое знамение, яко изцелит мя Господь и взыду в дом Господень в день третий?
Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “What will be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I will go up to the LORD’s house the third day?”
9 И рече Исаиа: сие знамение от Господа, яко сотворит Господь слово, еже глагола: (хощеши ли да) пойдет стень десять степений, или возвратится десять степений?
Isaiah said, “This will be the sign to you from the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he has spoken: should the shadow go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps?”
10 И рече Езекиа: удобно стени уклонитися десять степений: ни, но да возвратится стень на десять степений вспять.
Hezekiah answered, “It is a light thing for the shadow to go forward ten steps. No, but let the shadow return backward ten steps.”
11 И возопи Исаиа пророк ко Господу, и возвратися стень по числу назад десять степений.
Isaiah the prophet cried to the LORD; and he brought the shadow ten steps backward, by which it had gone down on the sundial of Ahaz.
12 Во время оно посла Мародах Валадан, сын Валаданов, царь Вавилонский, книги и дары ко Езекии: слыша бо, яко разболеся (царь) Езекиа.
At 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.
13 И порадовася Езекиа о них, и показа им весь дом свой сокровищный, сребро и злато, и ароматы и елей добрый, и дом сосудов и елика обретошася в сокровищих его: и не бе места, егоже не показа им Езекиа в дому своем и во всей области своей.
Hezekiah listened to them, and showed them all the storehouse of his precious things—the silver, the gold, 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, or in all his dominion, that Hezekiah did not show them.
14 И вниде Исаиа пророк ко Езекии царю и рече к нему: что глаголаша мужие сии, и откуду приидоша к тебе? И рече Езекиа: от земли дальния приидоша ко мне, от Вавилона.
Then 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.”
15 И рече: что видеша в дому твоем? И рече Езекиа: вся, елика в дому моем, видеша: несть в дому моем, егоже им не показах, но и яже в сокровищих моих (видеша).
He 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.”
16 И рече Исаиа ко Езекии: слыши слово Господне:
Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the LORD’s word.
17 се, дние грядут, рече Господь, взята будут вся, яже в дому твоем, и вся, яже собраша отцы твои до дне сего, внидут в Вавилон: и не останется слово, еже рече Господь.
‘Behold, the days come that all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have laid up in store to this day, will be carried to Babylon. Nothing will be left,’ says the LORD.
18 И сынове твои, иже изыдут из тебе, ихже родиши, возмутся и будут скопцы в дому царя Вавилонскаго.
‘They will take away some of your sons who will issue from you, whom you will father; and they will be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.’”
19 И рече Езекиа ко Исаии: благо слово Господне еже глагола: да будут мир во дни моя.
Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The LORD’s word which you have spoken is good.” He said moreover, “Is not it so, if peace and truth will be in my days?”
20 И прочая словес Езекиевых, и вся сила его, и елика сотвори, источник и водотечь, и введе воду во град, не се ли, сия написана в книзе словес дний царей Иудиных?
Now 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, are not they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
21 И успе Езекиа со отцы своими, и погребен бысть во граде Давидове. И воцарися Манассиа сын его вместо его.
Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and Manasseh his son reigned in his place.
