2 Hina 20
1 Amogalu, hina bagade Hesegaia da olo madelale, gadenenewane bogoi. Balofede dunu Aisaia (A: imose egefe) da e ba: la asili, ema amane sia: i, “Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, ‘Dia liligi huluane noga: le momagema. Bai di da hame uhimu. Di bogomuba: le momagema!’”
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.’”
2 Hesegaia da delegili, dobea feiya ba: le ganone, amane sia: ne gadoi,
Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall and prayed,
3 “Hina Gode! Dia na bu dawa: ma! Na da mae fisili, Dia hawa: molole hamonanu. Na da Dia hanai amo noga: le hamomusa: dawa: i galu.” Amalalu, e da muni ha: giwane dinanu.
“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.
4 Aisaia da hina bagade yolesi. Be e da ahoanoba, hina bagade diasu dogoa gagoi mae baligili, Hina Gode da ema sinidigima: ne sia: i.
Isaiah left the king, but before he had crossed the middle courtyard of the palace, Yahweh gave him a message
5 Hina Gode da Aisaiama amane sia: i, “Na fi ouligisu dunu Hesegaia, ema buhagili, Na sia: ema amane sia: sima, ‘Na, Hina Gode, dia siba aowa Da: ibidi ea Gode, Na da dia sia: ne gadosu nabi amola dia dibi si hano ba: i dagoi. Na da di uhinisimu, amola eso udiana da asili, di da Debolo diasuga masunu.
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.
6 Na da di ode 15eno esaloma: ne, logo doasimu. Na da Asilia hina bagade amo di amola Yelusaleme fi amo mae hasalasima: ne hamomu. Na da Yelusaleme gaga: mu. Bai Na da osobo bagade dunu da Nama nodomu Na hanai, amola Na da musa: Na hawa: hamosu dunu Da: ibidima dafawane ilegele sia: i.”
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].’”
7 Amalalu, Aisaia da hina bagade ea ouligisu dunu ilima, ilia da figi fage daga: i, amo ea dului da: iya legema: ne sia: i. Amalalu, e da uhi dagoi ba: mu, e sia: i.
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.”
8 Hina bagade Hesegaia da amane sia: i, “Na da Hina Gode da na uhini, eso udiana asili na da Debolo diasuga masunu, amo na da dafawaneyale dawa: ma: ne, dawa: digima: ne olelesu nama olelema.”
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?”
9 Aisaia da bu adole i, “Hina Gode da di Ea ilegele sia: i amo dafawaneyale dawa: ma: ne, dima dawa: digima: ne olelesu imunu. Di da adi hanabela: ? Baba da fa: gu da: iya eso ba: su amoga fa: gu bululufai nabuane bobaligila gusu masa: bela: ? o fa: gu bubulufai nabuane amo bobaligila guma: masa: bela: ?”
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?”
10 Hesegaia da bu adole i, “Baba da fa: gu bubulufai nabuane amo bobaligila gusu masunu da asaboi fawane. Di da amo bu bobaligila guma: masa: ne hamoma!”
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.”
11 Aisaia da Hina Godema sia: ne gadobeba: le, Hina Gode da hina bagade A: ihase ea hahamoi fa: gu ea baba amo da bubulufai nabuane gala, amo bobaligila bu guma: buhagima: ne hamoi dagoi.
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).
12 Amogalu agoane, Ba: bilone hina bagade Milouda: ge Ba: lada: ne (Ba: lada: ne egefe) da hina bagade Hesegaia ea oloi nababeba: le, ema meloa dedene amola hahawane iasu liligi ema iasi.
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.
13 Hesegaia da sia: adola ahoasu dunu ili hahawane yosia: le, ea gagui liligi huluane ilima olelei. E da ea silifa amola gouli, ea ha: i fodole nasu amola gabusiga: manoma amola ea dadi gagui wa: i ilia gegesu liligi huluanedafa ea ouligibi soge amo ganodini amola liligi ligisisu diasu huluane amo ganodini modaligi, amo ilima olelei.
[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.
14 Amalalu, balofede dunu Aisaia da hina bagade Hesegaiama asili, amane adole ba: i, “Amo dunu da habidili misibala: ? Amola ilia da dima adi sia: bela: ?” Hesegaia da bu adole i, “Ilia da soge sedagaga misi. Ilia da Ba: bilone sogega ninima misi.”
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.”
15 Aisaia da amane adole ba: i, “Ilia da hina bagade diasu ganodini, adi liligi ba: bela: ?” Hesegaia da ema bu adole i, “Ilia da liligi huluanedafa ba: i dagoi. Liligi huluanedafa, liligi ligisisu sesei ganodini dialebe, amo na da ilima olelei.”
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.”
16 Amalalu, Aisaia da hina bagadema amane sia: i, “Hina Gode Bagadedafa da amane sia: sa,
[Isaiah knew that Hezekiah had done a very foolish thing]. So Isaiah said to him, “Listen to what Yahweh says to you.
17 ‘Eso da doaga: mu, amoga liligi huluanedafa dia hina bagade diasu ganodini diala, amo liligi huluane dia siba aowa ilia ligisisi, amo huluanedafa Ba: bilone sogega gaguli asi dagoi ba: mu. Liligi guiguda: dialebe afae hame ba: mu.
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]
18 Dia fidafa amoga fifi misi dunu mogili da mugululi gaguli asi ba: mu. Ili da gulusu danane, udigili hawa: hamosu dunu Ba: bilone hina bagade ea diasu ganodini hamonanebe ba: mu.”
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.”
19 Hina bagade Hesegaia da amo sia: nababeba: le, e da esaleawane, olofosu amola gaga: su fawane ba: mu, amo dawa: i. Amaiba: le, e da amane adole i, “Defea! Hina Gode Ea sia: adosi di nama i, amo da noga: i!”
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.”
20 Hina bagade Hesegaia ea hamonanu eno huluane, ea nimi gesa: i hawa: hamosu, amola e da hano dialoma: ne hihiga: i amola osoboha logo amola moilai ganodini hano yogo sa: ima: ne gagui, amo huluane da “Yuda hina bagade Ilia Hamonanu Meloa” amo ganodini dedene legei.
[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’.
21 Hesegaia da bogoi, amola egefe Ma: na: se da e bagia Yuda hina bagade hamoi.
Later Hezekiah died [EUP], and his son Manasseh became the king.
