1 В те дни заболел Езекия смертельно, и пришел к нему Исаия, сын Амосов, пророк, и сказал ему: так говорит Господь: сделай завещание для дома твоего, ибо умрешь ты и не выздоровеешь.
1 In those days Hezekiah was sick and dying. Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, “Yahweh says, ‘Set your house in order; for you will die, and not live.’”
2 И отворотился [Езекия] лицем своим к стене и молился Господу, говоря:
2 Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to Yahweh, saying,
3 "О, Господи! вспомни, что я ходил пред лицем Твоим верно и с преданным Тебе сердцем, и делал угодное в очах Твоих". И заплакал Езекия сильно.
3 “Remember now, Yahweh, 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 Исаия еще не вышел из города, как было к нему слово Господне:
4 Before Isaiah had gone out into the middle part of the city, Yahweh’s word came to him, saying,
5 возвратись и скажи Езекии, владыке народа Моего: так говорит Господь Бог Давида, отца твоего: Я услышал молитву твою, увидел слезы твои. Вот, Я исцелю тебя; в третий день пойдешь в дом Господень;
5 “Turn back, and tell Hezekiah the prince of my people, ‘Yahweh, 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 Yahweh’s house.
6 и прибавлю ко дням твоим пятнадцать лет, и от руки царя Ассирийского спасу тебя и город сей, и защищу город сей ради Себя и ради Давида, раба Моего.
6 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 сказал Исаия: возьмите пласт смокв. И взяли, и приложили к нарыву; и он выздоровел.
7 Isaiah said, “Take a cake of figs.” They took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.
8 И сказал Езекия Исаии: какое знамение, что Господь исцелит меня, и что пойду я на третий день в дом Господень?
8 Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “What will be the sign that Yahweh will heal me, and that I will go up to Yahweh’s house the third day?”
9 И сказал Исаия: вот тебе знамение от Господа, что исполнит Господь слово, которое Он изрек: вперед ли пройти тени на десять ступеней, или воротиться на десять ступеней?
9 Isaiah said, “This will be the sign to you from Yahweh, that Yahweh will do the thing that he has spoken: should the shadow go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps?”
10 И сказал Езекия: легко тени подвинуться вперед на десять ступеней; нет, пусть воротится тень назад на десять ступеней.
10 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 воззвал Исаия пророк к Господу, и возвратил тень назад на ступенях, где она спускалась по ступеням Ахазовым, на десять ступеней.
11 Isaiah the prophet cried to Yahweh; and he brought the shadow ten steps backward, by which it had gone down on the sundial of Ahaz.
12 В то время послал Беродах Баладан, сын Баладана, царь Вавилонский, письма и подарок Езекии, ибо он слышал, что Езекия был болен.
12 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 Езекия, выслушав посланных, показал им кладовые свои, серебро и золото, и ароматы, и масти дорогие, и весь оружейный дом свой и все, что находилось в сокровищницах его; не оставалось ни одной вещи, которой не показал бы им Езекия в доме своем и во всем владении своем.
13 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 didn’t show them.
14 И пришел Исаия пророк к царю Езекии и сказал ему: что говорили эти люди, и откуда они приходили к тебе? И сказал Езекия: из земли далекой они приходили, из Вавилона.
14 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 сказал Исаия: что они видели в доме твоем? И сказал Езекия: все, что в доме моем, они видели, не осталось ни одной вещи, которой я не показал бы им в сокровищницах моих.
15 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 сказал Исаия Езекии: выслушай слово Господне:
16 Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear Yahweh’s word.
17 вот придут дни, и взято будет все, что в доме твоем, и что собрали отцы твои до сего дня, в Вавилон; ничего не останется, говорит Господь.
17 ‘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 Yahweh.
18 Из сынов твоих, которые произойдут от тебя, которых ты родишь, возьмут, и будут они евнухами во дворце царя Вавилонского.
18 ‘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 сказал Езекия Исаии: благо слово Господне, которое ты изрек. И продолжал: да будет мир и благосостояние во дни мои!
19 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “Yahweh’s word which you have spoken is good.” He said moreover, “Isn’t it so, if peace and truth will be in my days?”
20 Прочее об Езекии и о всех подвигах его, и о том, что он сделал пруд и водопровод и провел воду в город, написано в летописи царей Иудейских.
20 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, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
21 И почил Езекия с отцами своими, и воцарился Манассия, сын его, вместо него.
21 Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and Manasseh his son reigned in his place.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
For when he had fallen sick, Esaias said to him, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.
