2 Kings 20
1 In those days Hezekiah was sick to death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, Thus says Jehovah, Set thy house in order, for thou shall die, and not live.
I de Dage blev Ezekias dødssyg; og Esajas, Amoz's Søn, Profeten, kom til ham og sagde til ham: Saa sagde Herren: Beskik dit Hus, thi du skal dø og ikke leve.
2 Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to Jehovah, saying,
Og han vendte sit Ansigt omkring til Væggen og bad til Herren og sagde:
3 Remember now, O Jehovah, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept greatly.
Ak, Herre! kom dog i Hu, at jeg har trolig og med et retskaffent Hjerte vandret for dit Ansigt og gjort det, som er godt for dine Øjne; og Ezekias græd bitterligt.
4 And it came to pass, before Isaiah was gone out into the middle part of the city, that the word of Jehovah came to him, saying,
Og det skete, der Esajas endnu ikke var gaaet ud af den mellemste Forgaard, da skete Herrens Ord til ham, sigende:
5 Turn back, and say to Hezekiah the prince of my people, Thus says Jehovah, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears. Behold, I will heal thee. On the third day thou shall go up to the house of Jehovah.
Vend tilbage og sig til Ezekias, mit Folks Fyrste: Saa sagde Herren, Davids, din Faders, Gud: Jeg har hørt din Bøn, jeg har set din Graad; se, jeg læger dig; paa den tredje Dag skal du gaa op til Herrens Hus.
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 Assyria. And I will defend this city for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
Og jeg vil lægge til dine Dage femten Aar og fri dig og denne Stad fra Kongen af Assyriens Haand og beskærme denne Stad for min Skyld og for Davids, min Tjeners, Skyld.
7 And Isaiah said, Take a cake of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.
Og Esajas sagde: Henter en Figenkage; og de hentede den og lagde den paa Bylden, og han blev i Live.
8 And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, What shall be the sign that Jehovah will heal me, and that I shall go up to the house of Jehovah the third day?
Og Ezekias sagde til Esajas: Hvilket er Tegnet paa, at Herren vil læge mig, og at jeg skal gaa op paa den tredje Dag i Herrens Hus?
9 And Isaiah said, This shall be the sign to thee from Jehovah, that Jehovah will do the thing that he has spoken: Shall the shadow go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps?
Og Esajas sagde: Du skal have dette Tegn af Herren paa, at Herren skal gøre denne Gerning, som han har sagt: Skal Skyggen gaa ti Streger frem eller gaa ti Streger tilbage?
10 And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go forward ten steps. No, but let the shadow return backward ten steps.
Og Ezekias sagde: Det er let, at Skyggen bøjer ti Streger fremad, men ikke at Skyggen gaar ti Streger tilbage.
11 And Isaiah the prophet cried to Jehovah, and he brought the shadow ten steps backward, by which it had gone down on the dial of Ahaz.
Og Esajas, Profeten, raabte til Herren, og han lod Skyggen paa Timestregerne gaa de ti Streger igen tilbage, som den var gaaet fremad paa Akas's Solviser.
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.
Paa den samme Tid sendte Berodak Baladan, Baladans Søn, Kongen af Babel, Breve og Skænk til Ezekias; thi han havde hørt, at Ezekias havde været syg.
13 And Hezekiah hearkened to them, and showed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and 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, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah did not show them.
Og Ezekias hørte paa dem og viste dem hele Huset med sine dyrebare Sager, Sølvet og Guldet og de vellugtende Urter og den bedste Olie og hele sit Vaabenhus og alt det, som fandtes i hans Skatkamre; der var ingen Ting, som Ezekias ej viste dem i sit Hus og i sit hele Rige.
14 Then Isaiah the prophet came to king Hezekiah, and said to him, What did these men say, and from where did they come to thee? And Hezekiah said, They have come from a far country, even from Babylon.
Da kom Esajas, Profeten, til Kong Ezekias og sagde til ham: Hvad have disse Mænd sagt, og hvorfra ere de komne til dig? Og Ezekias sagde, De ere komne fra et Land langt borte, fra Babel.
15 And he said, What have they seen in thy house? And Hezekiah answered, They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.
Og han sagde: Hvad have de set i dit Hus? Og Ezekias sagde: De have set alt det, som er i mit Hus; der var ingen Ting, som jeg ej viste dem i mine Skatkamre.
16 And Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Hear the word of Jehovah.
Da sagde Esajas til Ezekias: Hør Herrens Ord:
17 Behold, the days come that all that is in thy house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store to this day, shall be carried to Babylon. Nothing shall be left, says Jehovah.
Se, de Dage komme, da alt det, som er i dit Hus, og hvad dine Fædre have samlet til Liggendefæ indtil denne Dag, skal føres til Babel; der skal ingen Ting blive tilovers, siger Herren.
18 And of thy sons who shall issue from thee, whom thou shall beget, they shall take away. And they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
Og af dine Sønner, som nedstamme fra dig, som du skal avle, skulle de tage nogle ud, og de skulle være Kammertjenere i Kongen af Babels Palads.
19 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, The word of Jehovah which thou have spoken is good. He said moreover, Is it not so, if peace and truth shall be in my days?
Men Ezekias sagde til Esajas: Det. Herrens Ord, som du har talt, er godt; og han sagde: Mon det ikke er godt, naar der bliver Fred og Trofasthed i mine Dage?
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, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Men det øvrige af Ezekias's Handeler og al hans Vælde og det, han gjorde, Dammen og Vandledningen, hvorved han førte Vandet ind i Staden: Ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Judas Kongers Krønikers Bog?
21 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
Og Ezekias laa med sine Fædre, og Manasse, hans Søn, blev Konge i hans Sted.
