2 Kings 20
1 In those days Hezekiah was ill and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him, and said to him, The Lord says, Put your house in order, for your death is near.
N'aquelles dias adoeceu Ezequias de morte: e o propheta Isaias, filho d'Amós, veiu a elle, e lhe disse: Assim diz o Senhor: Ordena a tua casa, porque morrerás, e não viverás.
2 Then, turning his face to the wall, he made his prayer to the Lord, saying,
Então virou o rosto para a parede, e orou ao Senhor, dizendo:
3 O Lord, keep in mind how I have been true to you with all my heart, and have done what is good in your eyes. And Hezekiah gave way to bitter weeping.
Ah, Senhor! Sê servido de te lembrar de que andei diante de ti em verdade, e com o coração perfeito, e fiz o que era recto aos teus olhos. E chorou Ezequias muitissimo.
4 Now before Isaiah had gone out of the middle of the town, the word of the Lord came to him, saying,
Succedeu pois que, não havendo Isaias ainda saido do meio do pateo, veiu a elle a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
5 Go back and say to Hezekiah, the ruler of my people, The Lord, the God of David your father, says, Your prayer has come to my ears, and I have seen your weeping; see, I will make you well: on the third day you will go up to the house of the Lord.
Volta, e dize a Ezequias, chefe do meu povo: Assim diz o Senhor Deus de teu pae David: Ouvi a tua oração, e vi as tuas lagrimas; eis que eu te sararei; ao terceiro dia subirás á casa do Senhor.
6 I will give you fifteen more years of life; and I will keep you and this town safe from the hands of the king of Assyria; I will keep this town safe, for my honour, and for the honour of my servant David.
E accrescentarei aos teus dias quinze annos, e das mãos do rei d'Assyria te livrarei, a ti e a esta cidade; e ampararei esta cidade por amor de mim, e por amor de David, meu servo.
7 Then Isaiah said, Take a cake of figs. So they took it and put it on his wound, and he got better.
Disse mais Isaias: Tomae uma pasta de figos. E a tomaram, e a pozeram sobre a chaga; e elle sarou.
8 And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, What is to be the sign that the Lord will make me well, and that I will go up to the house of the Lord on the third day?
E Ezequias disse a Isaias: Qual é o signal de que o Senhor me sarará, e de que ao terceiro dia subirei á casa do Senhor?
9 And Isaiah said, This is the sign the Lord will give you, that he will do what he has said; will the shade go forward ten degrees or back?
E disse Isaias: Isto te será signal, da parte do Senhor, de que o Senhor cumprirá a palavra que disse: Adiantar-se-ha a sombra dez graus, ou voltará dez graus atraz?
10 And Hezekiah said in answer, It is a simple thing for the shade to go forward; but let it go back ten degrees.
Então disse Ezequias: É facil que a sombra decline dez graus; não, mas volte a sombra dez graus atraz.
11 Then Isaiah the prophet made prayer to the Lord, and he made the shade go back ten degrees from its position on the steps of Ahaz.
Então o propheta Isaias clamou ao Senhor; e fez voltar a sombra dez graus atraz, pelos graus que tinha declinado nos graus do relogio de sol d'Achaz.
12 At that time, Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters with an offering to Hezekiah, because he had news that Hezekiah had been ill.
N'aquelle tempo enviou Berodac Baladan, filho de Baladan, rei de Babylonia, cartas e um presente a Ezequias; porque ouvira que Ezequias tinha estado doente.
13 And Hezekiah was glad at their coming and let them see all his store of wealth, the silver and the gold and the spices and the oil of great price, and the house of his arms, and everything there was in his stores; there was nothing in all his house or his kingdom which Hezekiah did not let them see.
E Ezequias lhes deu ouvidos, e lhes mostrou toda a casa de seu thesouro, a prata, e o oiro, e as especiarias, e os melhores unguentos, e a sua casa d'armas, e tudo quanto se achou nos seus thesouros: coisa nenhuma houve que lhes não mostrasse, nem em sua casa, nem em todo o seu dominio.
14 Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and said to him, What did these men say and where did they come from? And Hezekiah said, They came from a far country, even from Babylon.
Então o propheta Isaias veiu ao rei Ezequias, e lhe disse: Que disseram aquelles homens, e d'onde vieram a ti? E disse Ezequias: De um paiz mui remoto vieram, de Babylonia.
15 And he said, What have they seen in your house? And Hezekiah said in answer, They saw everything in my house: there is nothing among my stores which I did not let them see.
E disse elle: Que viram em tua casa? E disse Ezequias: Tudo quanto ha em minha casa viram: coisa nenhuma ha nos meus thesouros que eu lhes não mostrasse.
16 And Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Give ear to the word of the Lord.
Então disse Isaias a Ezequias: Ouve a palavra do Senhor:
17 Truly, days are coming when everything in your house, and whatever your fathers have put in store till this day, will be taken away to Babylon: all will be gone, says the Lord.
Eis que veem dias em que tudo quanto houver em tua casa, e o que enthesouraram teus paes até ao dia de hoje, será levado a Babylonia: não ficará coisa alguma, disse o Senhor.
18 And your sons, the offspring of your body, they will take away to be unsexed servants in the house of the king of Babylon.
E ainda até de teus filhos, que procederem de ti, e que tu gerares, tomarão, para que sejam eunuchos no paço do rei de Babylonia.
19 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord which you have said. Then he said, ... if in my time there is peace and righteousness?
Então disse Ezequias a Isaias: Boa é a palavra do Senhor que disseste. Disse mais: E pois não o seria? pois em meus dias haverá paz e verdade.
20 Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his power, and how he made the pool and the stream, to take water into the town, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
Ora o mais dos successos de Ezequias, e todo o seu poder, e como fez a piscina e o aqueducto, e como fez vir a agua á cidade, porventura não está escripto no livro das chronicas dos reis de Judah?
21 And Hezekiah went to rest with his fathers; and Manasseh his son became king in his place.
E Ezequias dormiu com seus paes: e Manasseh, seu filho, reinou em seu logar.
