1 In those days was Ezekias sick [even] to death. And the prophet Esaias the son of Amos came in to him, and said to him, Thus saith the Lord, Give charge to thy household; [for] thou shalt die, and not live. 2 And Ezekias turned to the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying, 3 Lord, remember, I pray thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thine eyes. And Ezekias wept with a great weeping. 4 And Esaias was in the middle court, and the word of the Lord came to him, saying, 5 Turn back, and thou shalt say to Ezekias the ruler of my people, Thus saith the Lord God of thy father David, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up to the house of the Lord. 6 And 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 defend this city for my own sake, and for my servant’s David sake. 7 And he said, Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it upon the ulcer, and he shall be well. 8 And Ezekias said to Esaias, What [is] the sign that the Lord will heal me, and I shall go up to the house of the Lord on the third day? 9 And Esaias said, This [is] the sign from the Lord, that the Lord will perform the word which he has spoken, the shadow [of the dial] shall advance ten degrees: [or] if it should go back ten degrees [this would also be the sign]. 10 And Ezekias said, [It is] a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return ten degrees backward on the dial. 11 And Esaias the prophet cried to the Lord: and the shadow returned back ten degrees on the dial. 12 At that time Marodach Baladan, son of Baladan king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Ezekias, because he had heard that Ezekias was sick. 13 And Ezekias rejoiced at them, and shewed all the house of his spices, the silver and the gold, the spices, and the fine oil, and the armory, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing which Ezekias did not shew them in his house, and in all his dominion. 14 And Esaias the prophet went in to king Ezekias, and said to him, What said these men? and whence came they to thee? And Ezekias said, they came to me from a distant land, [even] from Babylon. 15 And he said, What saw they in thy house? And he said, They saw all things that [are] in my house: there was nothing in my house which I shewed not to them; yea, all that was in my treasures also. 16 And Esaias said to Ezekias, Hear the word of the Lord: 17 Behold, the days come, that all things that are in thy house shall be taken, and all that thy fathers have treasured up until this day, to Babylon; and there shall not fail a word, which the Lord has spoken. 18 And as for thy sons which shall come forth of thee, which thou shalt beget, [the enemy] shall take them, and they shall be eunuchs in the house of the king of Babylon. 19 And Ezekias said to Esaias, Good [is] the word of the Lord which he has spoken: [only] let there be peace in my days. 20 And the rest of the acts of Ezekias, and all his might, and all that he made, the fountain and the aqueduct, and [how] he brought water into the city, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda? 21 And Ezekias slept with his fathers: and Manasses his son reigned in his stead.

ΕΝ ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ἠρρώστησεν ᾿Εζεκίας εἰς θάνατον. καὶ εἰσῆλθε πρὸς αὐτὸν ῾Ησαΐας υἱὸς ᾿Αμὼς ὁ προφήτης καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτόν· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἔντειλαι τῷ οἴκῳ σου, ὅτι ἀποθνήσκεις σὺ καὶ οὐ ζήσῃ. 2 καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν ᾿Εζεκίας πρὸς τὸν τοῖχον καὶ ηὔξατο πρὸς Κύριον λέγων· 3 Κύριε, μνήσθητι δὴ ὅσα περιεπάτησα ἐνώπιόν σου ἐν ἀληθείᾳ καὶ καρδίᾳ πλήρει καὶ τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου ἐποίησα. καὶ ἔκλαυσεν ᾿Εζεκίας κλαυθμῷ μεγάλῳ. 4 καὶ ἦν ῾Ησαΐας ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τῇ μέσῃ, καὶ ῥῆμα Κυρίου ἐγένετο πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγων· 5 ἐπίστρεψον καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς ᾿Εζεκίαν 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· 6 καὶ προσθήσω ἐπὶ τὰς ἡμέρας σου πεντεκαίδεκα ἔτη καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς βασιλέως ᾿Ασσυρίων σώσω σε καὶ τὴν πόλιν ταύτην καὶ ὑπερασπιῶ ὑπὲρ τῆς πόλεως ταύτης δι᾿ ἐμὲ καὶ διὰ Δαυὶδ τὸν δοῦλόν μου. 7 καὶ εἶπε· λαβέτωσαν παλάθην σύκων καὶ ἐπιθέτωσαν ἐπὶ τὸ ἕλκος, καὶ ὑγιάσει. 8 καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Εζεκίας πρὸς ῾Ησαΐαν· τί τὸ σημεῖον ὅτι ἰάσεταί με Κύριος καὶ ἀναβήσομαι εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ; 9 καὶ εἶπεν ῾Ησαΐας· τοῦτο τὸ σημεῖον παρὰ Κυρίου, ὅτι ποιήσει Κύριος τὸν λόγον, ὃν ἐλάλησε· πορεύσεται ἡ σκιὰ δέκα βαθμούς, ἐὰν ἐπιστρέψῃ δέκα βαθμούς. 10 καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Εζεκίας· κοῦφον τὴν σκιὰν κλῖναι δέκα βαθμούς· οὐχί, ἀλλ᾿ ἐπιστραφήτω ἡ σκιὰ ἐν τοῖς ἀναβαθμοῖς δέκα βαθμοὺς εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω. 11 καὶ ἐβόησεν ῾Ησαΐας ὁ προφήτης πρὸς Κύριον, καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν ἡ σκιὰ ἐν τοῖς ἀναβαθμοῖς εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω δέκα βαθμούς. 12 ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἀπέστειλε Μαρωδὰχ Βαλαδὰν υἱὸς Βαλαδὰν βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος βιβλία καὶ μαναὰ πρὸς ᾿Εζεκίαν, ὅτι ἤκουσεν ὅτι ἠρρώστησεν ᾿Εζεκίας. 13 καὶ ἐχάρη ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῖς ᾿Εζεκίας 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 ᾿Εζεκίας ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ ἐξουσίᾳ αὐτοῦ. 14 καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ῾Ησαΐας ὁ προφήτης πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα ᾿Εζεκίαν καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτόν· τί ἐλάλησαν οἱ ἄνδρες οὗτοι καί πόθεν ἥκασι πρός σε; καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Εζεκίας· ἐκ γῆς πόρρωθεν ἥκασι πρός με, ἐκ Βαβυλῶνος. 15 καὶ 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. 16 καὶ εἶπεν ῾Ησαΐας πρὸς ᾿Εζεκίαν· ἄκουσον λόγον Κυρίου· 17 ἰδοὺ 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· 18 καὶ οἱ υἱοί σου, οἳ ἐξελεύσονται ἐκ σοῦ, οὓς γεννήσεις λήψεται, καὶ ἔσονται εὐνοῦχοι ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος. 19 καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Εζεκίας πρὸς ῾Ησαΐαν· ἀγαθὸς ὁ λόγος Κυρίου, ὃν ἐλάλησεν· ἔστω εἰρήνη ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις μου. 20 καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων ᾿Εζεκίου 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 ᾿Ιούδα; 21 καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ᾿Εζεκίας μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐβασίλευσε Μανασσῆς υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
