1In those days Ezechias was sick unto death: and Isaias the son of Amos the prophet came and said to him: Thus saith the Lord God: Give charge concerning thy house, for thou shalt die, and not live.
1ΕΝ ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ἠρρώστησεν Ἐζεκίας εἰς θάνατον. καὶ εἰσῆλθε πρὸς αὐτὸν Ἡσαΐας υἱὸς Ἀμὼς ὁ προφήτης καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτόν· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἔντειλαι τῷ οἴκῳ σου, ὅτι ἀποθνήσκεις σὺ καὶ οὐ ζήσῃ.
2And he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying:
2καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν Ἐζεκίας πρὸς τὸν τοῖχον καὶ ηὔξατο πρὸς Κύριον λέγων·
3I beseech thee, O Lord, remember how I have walked before thee in truth, and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is pleasing before thee. And Ezechias wept with much weeping.
3Κύριε, μνήσθητι δὴ ὅσα περιεπάτησα ἐνώπιόν σου ἐν ἀληθείᾳ καὶ καρδίᾳ πλήρει καὶ τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου ἐποίησα. καὶ ἔκλαυσεν Ἐζεκίας κλαυθμῷ μεγάλῳ.
4And before Isaias was gone out of the middle of the court, the word of the Lord came to him, saying:
4καὶ ἦν Ἡσαΐας ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τῇ μέσῃ, καὶ ρῆμα Κυρίου ἐγένετο πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγων·
5Go back, and tell Ezechias the captain of my people: Thus saith the Lord the God of David thy father: I have heard thy prayer, and I have seen thy tears: and behold I have healed thee; on the third day thou shalt go up to the temple of the Lord.
5ἐπίστρεψον καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς Ἐζεκίαν τὸν ἡγούμενον τοῦ λαοῦ μου· τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρός σου· ἤκουσα τῆς προσευχῆς σου, εἶδον τὰ δάκρυά σου· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἰάσομαί σε, τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ ἀναβήσῃ εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου·
6And I will add to thy days fifteen years: and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians, and I will protect this city for my own sake, and for David my servant’s sake.
6καὶ προσθήσω ἐπὶ τὰς ἡμέρας σου πεντεκαίδεκα ἔτη καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων σώσω σε καὶ τὴν πόλιν ταύτην καὶ ὑπερασπιῶ ὑπὲρ τῆς πόλεως ταύτης δι᾿ ἐμὲ καὶ διὰ Δαυὶδ τὸν δοῦλόν μου.
7And Isaias said: Bring me a lump of figs. And when they had brought it, and laid it upon his boil. he was healed.
7καὶ εἶπε· λαβέτωσαν παλάθην σύκων καὶ ἐπιθέτωσαν ἐπὶ τὸ ἕλκος, καὶ ὑγιάσει.
8And Ezechias had said to Isaias: What shall be the sign that the Lord will heal me, and that I shall go up to the temple of the Lord the third day?
8καὶ εἶπεν Ἐζεκίας πρὸς Ἡσαΐαν· τί τὸ σημεῖον ὅτι ἰάσεταί με Κύριος καὶ ἀναβήσομαι εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ;
9And Isaias said to him: This shall be the sign from the Lord, that the Lord will do the word which he hath spoken: Wilt thou that the shadow go forward ten lines, or that it go back so many degrees?
9καὶ εἶπεν Ἡσαΐας· τοῦτο τὸ σημεῖον παρὰ Κυρίου, ὅτι ποιήσει Κύριος τὸν λόγον, ὃν ἐλάλησε· πορεύσεται ἡ σκιὰ δέκα βαθμούς, ἐὰν ἐπιστρέψῃ δέκα βαθμούς.
10And Ezechias said: It is an easy matter for the shadow to go forward ten lines: and I do not desire that this be done, but let it return back ten degrees.
10καὶ εἶπεν Ἐζεκίας· κοῦφον τὴν σκιὰν κλῖναι δέκα βαθμούς· οὐχί, ἀλλ᾿ ἐπιστραφήτω ἡ σκιὰ ἐν τοῖς ἀναβαθμοῖς δέκα βαθμοὺς εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω.
11And Isaias the prophet called upon the Lord, and he brought the shadow ten degrees backwards by the lines, by which it had already gone down in the dial of Achaz.
11καὶ ἐβόησεν Ἡσαΐας ὁ προφήτης πρὸς Κύριον, καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν ἡ σκιὰ ἐν τοῖς ἀναβαθμοῖς εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω δέκα βαθμούς.
12At that time Berodach Baladan, the son of Baladan, king of the Babylonians, sent letters and presents to Ezechias: for he had heard that Ezechias had been sick.
12ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἀπέστειλε Μαρωδὰχ Βαλαδὰν υἱὸς Βαλαδὰν βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος βιβλία καὶ μαναὰ πρὸς Ἐζεκίαν, ὅτι ἤκουσεν ὅτι ἠρρώστησεν Ἐζεκίας.
13And Ezechias rejoiced at their coming, and he showed them the house of his aromatical spices, and the gold and the silver, and divers precious odours, and ointments, and the house of his vessels, and all that he had in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominions that Ezechias shewed them not.
13καὶ ἐχάρη ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῖς Ἐζεκίας καὶ ἔδειξεν αὐτοῖς ὅλον τὸν οἶκον τοῦ νεχωθά, τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον, τὰ ἀρώματα καὶ τὸ ἔλαιον τὸ ἀγαθόν, καὶ τὸν οἶκον τῶν σκευῶν καὶ ὅσα ηὑρέθη ἐν τοῖς θησαυροῖς αὐτοῦ· οὐκ ἦν λόγος, ὃν οὐκ ἔδειξεν αὐτοῖς Ἐζεκίας ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ ἐξουσίᾳ αὐτοῦ.
14And Isaias the prophet came to king Ezechias, and said to him: What said these men? or from whence came they to thee? And Ezechias said to him: From a far country they came to me out of Babylon.
14καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ἡσαΐας ὁ προφήτης πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Ἐζεκίαν καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτόν· τί ἐλάλησαν οἱ ἄνδρες οὗτοι καί πόθεν ἥκασι πρός σε; καὶ εἶπεν Ἐζεκίας· ἐκ γῆς πόρρωθεν ἥκασι πρός με, ἐκ Βαβυλῶνος.
15And he said: What did they see in thy house? Ezechias said: They saw all the things that are in my house: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewn them.
15καὶ εἶπε· τί εἶδον ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ σου; καὶ εἶπε· πάντα, ὅσα ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ μου εἶδον, οὐκ ἦν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ μου, ὃ οὐκ ἔδειξα αὐτοῖς, ἀλλὰ καὶ τὰ ἐν τοῖς θησαυροῖς μου.
16And Isaias said to Ezechias: Hear the word of the Lord.
16καὶ εἶπεν Ἡσαΐας πρὸς Ἐζεκίαν· ἄκουσον λόγον Κυρίου·
17Behold the days shall come, that all that is in thy house, and that thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the Lord.
17ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται καὶ ληφθήσεται πάντα τὰ ἐν οἴκῳ σου καὶ ὅσα ἐθησαύρισαν οἱ πατέρες σου ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης εἰς Βαβυλῶνα· καὶ οὐχ ὑπολειφθήσεται ρῆμα, ὃ εἶπε Κύριος·
18And of thy sons also that shall issue from thee, whom thou shalt beget, they shall take away, and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
18καὶ οἱ υἱοί σου, οἳ ἐξελεύσονται ἐκ σοῦ, οὓς γεννήσεις λήψεται, καὶ ἔσονται εὐνοῦχοι ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος.
19Ezechias said to Isaias: The word of the Lord, which thou hast spoken, is good: let peace and truth be in my days.
19καὶ εἶπεν Ἐζεκίας πρὸς Ἡσαΐαν· ἀγαθὸς ὁ λόγος Κυρίου, ὃν ἐλάλησεν· ἔστω εἰρήνη ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις μου.
20And the rest of the acts of Ezechias and all his might, and how he made a pool, and a conduit, and brought waters into the city, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?
20καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἐζεκίου καὶ πᾶσα ἡ δυναστεία αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὅσα ἐποίησε, τὴν κρήνην καὶ τὸν ὑδραγωγὸν καὶ εἰσήγαγε τὸ ὕδωρ εἰς τὴν πόλιν, οὐχὶ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ἰούδα;
21And Ezechias slept with his fathers, and Manasses his son reigned in his stead.
21καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἐζεκίας μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐβασίλευσε Μανασσῆς υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
