2 Kings 20
1 About that time, Hezekiah became very ill. [He thought that he] was about to die. Isaiah the prophet came to him and said, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘You should tell the people in your palace what you want them to do after you die, because you are not going to recover from this illness. You are going to die.’”
V těch dnech roznemohl se Ezechiáš až k smrti. I přišel k němu Izaiáš syn Amosův prorok, a řekl jemu: Toto praví Hospodin: Zřeď dům svůj, nebo umřeš, a nebudeš živ.
2 Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall and prayed,
I obrátil tvář svou k stěně, a modlil se Hospodinu, řka:
3 “Yahweh, do not forget that I have always served you faithfully, and I have done things that pleased you.” Then Hezekiah started to cry loudly.
Prosím, ó Hospodine, rozpomeň se nyní, že jsem stále chodil před tebou v pravdě a v srdci upřímém, a že jsem to činil, což dobrého jest před očima tvýma. I plakal Ezechiáš pláčem velikým.
4 Isaiah left the king, but before he had crossed the middle courtyard of the palace, Yahweh gave him a message
Ještě pak Izaiáš nebyl vyšel do půl síně, když se k němu stalo slovo Hospodinovo, řkoucí:
5 which said, “Go back to Hezekiah, the ruler of my people, and say to him, ‘I, Yahweh, the God whom your ancestor King David [worshiped], have heard what you prayed. And I have seen your tears. So, listen: I will heal you. Two days from now you will [be able to] go up to my temple.
Navrať se a rci Ezechiášovi vůdci lidu mého: Toto praví Hospodin Bůh Davida otce tvého: Slyšelť jsem modlitbu tvou, a viděl jsem slzy tvé; aj, já uzdravím tě, třetího dne vstoupíš do domu Hospodinova.
6 I will enable you to live for 15 more years. And I will rescue you and this city again from the power [MTY] of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for the sake of my own reputation and because of what I promised King David, who served me [well].’”
A přidám ke dnům tvým patnácte let, a z ruky krále Assyrského vysvobodím tě, i město toto, a chrániti budu města tohoto, pro sebe a pro Davida služebníka svého.
7 So Isaiah [returned to the palace and told Hezekiah what Yahweh had said. Then he] [to Hezekiah’s servants], “Bring a paste made of boiled figs. Put some of it on his boil, and he will get well.”
I řekl Izaiáš: Vezměte hrudu suchých fíků. Kterouž vzavše, přiložili na vřed, i uzdraven jest.
8 Then Hezekiah replied to Isaiah, “What will Yahweh do to prove that he will heal me and that two days from now I will be able to go up to the temple?”
Řekl pak Ezechiáš Izaiášovi: Jaké bude znamení toho, že mne uzdraví Hospodin, a že půjdu třetího dne do domu Hospodinova?
9 Isaiah replied, “Yahweh will do something that will prove to you that he will do what he promised. Do you want him to cause the shadow on the stairway/sundial to go back ten steps/degrees, or to go forward ten steps/degrees?”
Odpověděl Izaiáš: Toto bude tobě znamení od Hospodina, že Hospodin učiní věc tuto, kterouž mluvil: Chceš-li, aby postoupil dále stín o deset stupňů, aneb navrátil se zpátkem o deset stupňů?
10 Hezekiah replied, “It is easy to cause the shadow to move forward, [because that is what it always does]. Tell him to cause it to move backward ten steps/degrees.”
Odpověděl Ezechiáš: Snázeť může stín postoupiti dolů o deset stupňů. Nechci, ale nechť zase postoupí stín zpátkem o deset stupňů.
11 So Isaiah prayed earnestly to Yahweh, and Yahweh caused the shadow to go backward ten steps/degrees on the stairway/sundial that King Ahaz had made (OR, that workers had built for King Ahaz).
Volal tedy Izaiáš prorok k Hospodinu, a navrátil stín po stupních, po nichž sešel na hodinách slunečných Achasových, zpátkem o deset stupňů.
12 At that time, King Merodach-Baladan, the son of Baladan the [previous] King of Babylonia, heard a report that King Hezekiah had been very sick. So he wrote some letters and gave them to some messengers to take to Hezekiah, along with a gift.
Toho času poslal Berodach Baladan syn Baladanův, král Babylonský, list a dary Ezechiášovi; nebo slyšel, že nemocen byl Ezechiáš.
13 [When the messengers arrived], Hezekiah welcomed them gladly. Then he showed them everything that was in his (treasure houses/places where very valuable things were stored)—the silver and gold, the spices, the nice-smelling olive oil, and all the weapons [for his soldiers]. He showed them all the [valuable] things in his storerooms and everywhere else in his kingdom [HYP]; he showed them everything.
I vyslyšel je Ezechiáš a ukázal jim všecky schrany klénotů svých, stříbra a zlata i vonných věcí, a olej nejvýbornější, tolikéž dům zbroje své, a cožkoli mohlo nalezeno býti v pokladích jeho. Ničeho nebylo, čehož by jim neukázal Ezechiáš v domě svém i ve všem panství svém.
14 Then the prophet Isaiah went to Hezekiah and asked him, “Where did those men come from, and what did they say to you?” Hezekiah replied, “They came from a country very far from here. They came from Babylonia.”
Protož přišel prorok Izaiáš k králi Ezechiášovi, a řekl jemu: Co pravili ti muži? A odkud přišli k tobě? Odpověděl Ezechiáš: Z země daleké přišli, z Babylona.
15 Isaiah asked, “What did they see in your palace?” Hezekiah replied, “They saw everything. I showed them absolutely everything that I own—all my valuable things.”
I řekl: Co viděli v domě tvém? Odpověděl Ezechiáš: Všecko, což jest v domě mém, viděli. Ničeho není v pokladích mých, čehož bych jim neukázal.
16 [Isaiah knew that Hezekiah had done a very foolish thing]. So Isaiah said to him, “Listen to what Yahweh says to you.
Ale Izaiáš řekl Ezechiášovi: Slyšiž slovo Hospodinovo.
17 There will be a time when everything that is still in your palace, all the valuable things that were put there by you and your ancestors, will be carried away to Babylon. There will be nothing left here! [That is what] Yahweh says [to you]
Aj, dnové přijdou, v nichž odneseno bude do Babylona, cožkoli jest v domě tvém, a cožkoli nachovali otcové tvoji až do tohoto dne; nezůstaneť ničeho, praví Hospodin.
18 Furthermore, some of your own descendants will be forced to go there, and they will be castrated in order that they may become servants in the palace of the King of Babylon.”
Syny také tvé, kteříž pojdou z tebe, kteréž ty zplodíš, poberou a budou komorníci při dvoru krále Babylonského.
19 Then Hezekiah replied to Isaiah, “That message from Yahweh that you have given to me is good.” He said that because he was thinking, “Even if that happens, there will be peace and security [in Israel] all the rest of my life.”
Tedy řekl Ezechiáš Izaiášovi: Dobréť jest slovo Hospodinovo, kteréž jsi mluvil. Řekl ještě: Ovšem, žeť jest dobré, jestliže pokoj a pravda bude za dnů mých.
20 [If you want to know more about] [RHQ] all the other things that Hezekiah did, about his brave deeds in battle, about his ordering a reservoir to be built in the city and a tunnel [to be dug] to bring water into the reservoir, they are all written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
O jiných pak činech Ezechiášových, i vší síle jeho, a kterak udělal rybník, a vodu po trubách uvedl do města, zapsáno jest v knize o králích Judských.
21 Later Hezekiah died [EUP], and his son Manasseh became the king.
I usnul Ezechiáš s otci svými, a kraloval Manasses syn jeho místo něho.
