LXX	NEW JERUSALEM
1 εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις ηρρωστησεν εζεκιας εις θανατον και εισηλθεν προς αυτον ησαιας υιος αμως ο προφητης και ειπεν προς αυτον ταδε λεγει κυριος εντειλαι τω οικω σου οτι αποθνησκεις συ και ου ζηση	1 About then Hezekiah fel il and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz came andsaid to him, 'Yahweh says this, "Put your affairs in order, for you are going to die, you wil not live." '
2 και απεστρεψεν εζεκιας το προσωπον αυτου προς τον τοιχον και ηυξατο προς κυριον λεγων	2 Hezekiah turned his face to the wal and addressed this prayer to Yahweh,
3 ω δη κυριε μνησθητι δη οσα περιεπατησα ενωπιον σου εν αληθεια και εν καρδια πληρει και το αγαθον εν οφθαλμοις σου εποιησα και εκλαυσεν εζεκιας κλαυθμω μεγαλω	3 'Ah, Yahweh, remember, I beg you, that I have behaved faithful y and with sincerity of heart in yourpresence and done what you regard as right.' And Hezekiah shed many tears.
4 και ην ησαιας εν τη αυλη τη μεση και ρημα κυριου εγενετο προς αυτον λεγων	4 Isaiah had not left the middle court, before the word of Yahweh came to him,
5 επιστρεψον και ερεις προς εζεκιαν τον ηγουμενον του λαου μου ταδε λεγει κυριος ο θεος δαυιδ του πατρος σου ηκουσα της προσευχης σου ειδον τα δακρυα σου ιδου εγω ιασομαι σε τη ημερα τη τριτη αναβηση εις οικον κυριου	5 'Go back and say to Hezekiah, prince of my people, "Yahweh, the God of your ancestor David, saysthis: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears. I shal cure you: in three days' time you will go up to theTemple of Yahweh.
6 και προσθησω επι τας ημερας σου πεντε και δεκα ετη και εκ χειρος βασιλεως ασσυριων σωσω σε και την πολιν ταυτην και υπερασπιω υπερ της πολεως ταυτης δι' εμε και δια δαυιδ τον δουλον μου	6 I shal add fifteen years to your life. I shal save you and this city from the king of Assyria's clutches anddefend this city for my sake and my servant David's sake." '
7 και ειπεν λαβετωσαν παλαθην συκων και επιθετωσαν επι το ελκος και υγιασει	7 'Bring a fig poultice,' Isaiah said; they brought one, applied it to the ulcer, and the king recovered.
8 και ειπεν εζεκιας προς ησαιαν τι το σημειον οτι ιασεται με κυριος και αναβησομαι εις οικον κυριου τη ημερα τη τριτη	8 Hezekiah said to Isaiah, 'What is the sign to tel me that Yahweh wil cure me and that I shal be goingup to the Temple of Yahweh in three days' time?'
9 και ειπεν ησαιας τουτο το σημειον παρα κυριου οτι ποιησει κυριος τον λογον ον ελαλησεν πορευσεται η σκια δεκα βαθμους εαν επιστρεφη δεκα βαθμους	9 'Here', Isaiah replied, 'is the sign from Yahweh that he wil do what he has said; would you like theshadow to go forward ten steps, or to go back ten steps?'
10 και ειπεν εζεκιας κουφον την σκιαν κλιναι δεκα βαθμους ουχι αλλ' επιστραφητω η σκια δεκα βαθμους εις τα οπισω	10 'It is easy for the shadow to lengthen ten steps,' Hezekiah replied. 'No, I would rather the shadowwent back ten steps.'
11 και εβοησεν ησαιας ο προφητης προς κυριον και επεστρεψεν η σκια εν τοις αναβαθμοις εις τα οπισω δεκα βαθμους	11 The prophet Isaiah then cal ed on Yahweh, who made the shadow cast by the declining sun on thesteps -- the steps to Ahaz's roof-room -- go back ten steps.
12 εν τω καιρω εκεινω απεστειλεν μαρωδαχβαλαδαν υιος βαλαδαν βασιλευς βαβυλωνος βιβλια και μαναα προς εζεκιαν οτι ηκουσεν οτι ηρρωστησεν εζεκιας	12 At that time the king of Babylon, Merodach-Baladan son of Baladan, sent letters and a gift toHezekiah, for he had heard of his il ness and his recovery.
13 και εχαρη επ' αυτοις εζεκιας και εδειξεν αυτοις ολον τον οικον του νεχωθα το αργυριον και το χρυσιον τα αρωματα και το ελαιον το αγαθον και τον οικον των σκευων και οσα ηυρεθη εν τοις θησαυροις αυτου ουκ ην λογος ον ουκ εδειξεν αυτοις εζεκιας εν τω οικω αυτου και εν παση τη εξουσια αυτου	13 Hezekiah was delighted at this and showed the ambassadors his entire treasury, the silver, gold,spices, precious oil, his armoury too, and everything to be seen in his storehouses. There was nothing in hispalace or in his whole domain that Hezekiah did not show them.
14 και εισηλθεν ησαιας ο προφητης προς τον βασιλεα εζεκιαν και ειπεν προς αυτον τι ελαλησαν οι ανδρες ουτοι και ποθεν ηκασιν προς σε και ειπεν εζεκιας εκ γης πορρωθεν ηκασιν προς με εκ βαβυλωνος	14 The prophet Isaiah then came to King Hezekiah and asked him, 'What have these men said, andwhere have they come from?' Hezekiah answered, 'They have come from a distant country, from Babylon.'
15 και ειπεν τι ειδον εν τω οικω σου και ειπεν παντα οσα εν τω οικω μου ειδον ουκ ην εν τω οικω μου ο ουκ εδειξα αυτοις αλλα και τα εν τοις θησαυροις μου	15 Isaiah said, 'What have they seen in your palace?' 'They have seen everything in my palace,'Hezekiah answered. 'There is nothing in my storehouses that I have not shown them.'
16 και ειπεν ησαιας προς εζεκιαν ακουσον λογον κυριου	16 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, 'Listen to the word of Yahweh,
17 ιδου ημεραι ερχονται και λημφθησεται παντα τα εν τω οικω σου και οσα εθησαυρισαν οι πατερες σου εως της ημερας ταυτης εις βαβυλωνα και ουχ υπολειφθησεται ρημα ο ειπεν κυριος	17 "The days are coming when everything in your palace, everything that your ancestors have amasseduntil now, wil be carried off to Babylon. Not a thing wil be left," Yahweh says.
18 και οι υιοι σου οι εξελευσονται εκ σου ους γεννησεις λημψεται και εσονται ευνουχοι εν τω οικω του βασιλεως βαβυλωνος	18 "Sons sprung from you, sons fathered by you, wil be abducted to be eunuchs in the palace of theking of Babylon." '
19 και ειπεν εζεκιας προς ησαιαν αγαθος ο λογος κυριου ον ελαλησεν εστω ειρηνη εν ταις ημεραις μου	19 Hezekiah said to Isaiah, 'This word of Yahweh that you announce is reassuring,' for he was thinking,'And why not? So long as there is peace and security during my lifetime.'
20 και τα λοιπα των λογων εζεκιου και πασα η δυναστεια αυτου και οσα εποιησεν την κρηνην και τον υδραγωγον και εισηνεγκεν το υδωρ εις την πολιν ουχι ταυτα γεγραμμενα επι βιβλιω λογων των ημερων τοις βασιλευσιν ιουδα	20 The rest of the history of Hezekiah, al his prowess, how he constructed the pool and the conduit tobring water into the city, is this not recorded in the Book of the Annals of the Kings of Judah?
21 και εκοιμηθη εζεκιας μετα των πατερων αυτου και εταφη εν πολει δαυιδ και εβασιλευσεν μανασσης υιος αυτου αντ' αυτου	21 Then Hezekiah fel asleep with his ancestors; his son Manasseh succeeded him.
