2 Kings 20
1 In those days, Hezekiah was sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz, came and said to him: “Thus says the Lord God: Instruct your house, for you will die, and not live.”
Pea naʻe mahaki ʻa Hesekaia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia ʻo teitei mate. Pea naʻe haʻu kiate ia ʻae palōfita ko ʻIsaia ko e foha ʻo ʻAmosi, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, Teuteu ke lelei ho fale he te ke mate, pea ʻikai moʻui.”
2 And he turned his face to the wall, and he prayed to the Lord, saying:
Pea naʻe toki tafoki ai ʻe ia hono mata ki he holisi, pea ne lotu ʻe ia kia Sihova, ʻo pehē,
3 “I beg you, O Lord, I beseech you, remember how I have walked before you in truth, and with a perfect heart, and how I have done what is pleasing before you.” And then Hezekiah wept with a great weeping.
“ʻOku ou kole kiate koe ʻe Sihova, ke ke manatu eni ʻa ʻeku ʻalu ʻi ho ʻao ʻi he moʻoni pea mo e loto angatotonu, pea kuo u fai ʻaia ʻoku lelei ʻi ho ʻao.” Pea naʻe tangi mamahi ʻa Hesekaia.
4 And before Isaiah departed from the middle part of the atrium, the word of the Lord came to him, saying:
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he teʻeki ʻalu ʻa ʻIsaia ki he loto kolo, mo ʻene haʻu kiate ia ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,
5 “Return and tell Hezekiah, the leader of my people: Thus says the Lord, the God of your father David: I have heard your prayer, and I have seen your tears. And behold, I have healed you. On the third day, you shall ascend to the temple of the Lord.
“Foki atu, pea tala kia Hesekaia ko e ʻeiki ʻa hoku kakai, ‘ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo Tevita ko hoʻo tamai, Kuo u ongoʻi hoʻo lotu, kuo u mamata ki ho ngaahi loʻimata: vakai te u fakamoʻui koe: ʻi hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho te ke ʻalu hake ki he fale ʻo Sihova.
6 And I will add fifteen years to your days. Then too, I will free you and this city from the hand of the king of the Assyrians. And I will protect this city for my own sake, and for the sake of my servant David.”
Pea te u fakatolotolonga ʻa hoʻo ngaahi ʻaho ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma nima; pea te u fakamoʻui koe mo e kolo ni mei he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia; pea te u maluʻi ʻae kolo ni koeʻuhi ko au, pea koeʻuhi ko Tevita ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki.”
7 And Isaiah said, “Bring me a mass of figs.” And when they had brought it, and they had placed it on his sore, he was healed.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIsaia, “Toʻo mai ha takaonga fiki.” Pea naʻa nau ʻave ʻo ʻai ia ki he kiatolo, pea naʻa ne moʻui ai.
8 But Hezekiah had said to Isaiah, “What will be the sign that the Lord will heal me, and that I will ascend to the temple of the Lord on the third day?”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Hesekaia kia ʻIsaia, “Ko e hā hono fakaʻilonga ʻoe fakamoʻui au, pea ki heʻeku ʻalu hake ki he fale ʻo Sihova ʻi hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho?”
9 And Isaiah said to him: “This will be the sign from the Lord, that the Lord will do the word that he has spoken: Do you wish that the shadow may ascend ten lines, or that it may turn back for the same number of degrees?”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIsaia, “Ke ke maʻu ʻae fakaʻilonga ko eni meia Sihova, ki heʻene fai moʻoni ʻe Sihova ʻae meʻa ni ʻaia kuo ne folofola ai: ʻe fēfē, ʻe hiki ki muʻa ʻae ata ʻi he tikeli ʻe hongofulu, pe te ne foki ki mui ʻi he tikeli ʻe hongofulu?
10 And Hezekiah said: “It is easy for the shadow to increase for ten lines. And so I do not wish that this be done. Instead, let it turn back for ten degrees.”
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe Hesekaia, “Ko eni ko e meʻa maʻamaʻa ke ʻalu hifo ʻae ata ʻi he tikeli ʻe hongofulu: ʻoua naʻa pehē, taʻetuku ke foki ki mui ʻae ata ʻi he tikeli hongofulu.”
11 And so the prophet Isaiah called upon the Lord. And he led back the shadow, along the lines by which it had already descended on the sundial of Ahaz, in reverse for ten degrees.
Pea tangi ʻae palōfita ko ʻIsaia kia Sihova: pea naʻa ne fakafoki ki mui ʻae ata ʻi he tikeli ʻe hongofulu, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu hifo ai ia ʻi he meʻa ʻa ʻAhasi ʻaia naʻe fakaʻilonga ai ʻae ngaahi feituʻulaʻā,
12 At that time, Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, the king of the Babylonians, sent letters and gifts to Hezekiah. For he had heard that Hezekiah had been ill.
ʻI he kuonga ko ia naʻe fekau ʻe Pelotakipalatani, ko e foha ʻo Palatani, ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ʻae ngaahi tohi mo e meʻaʻofa kia Hesekaia: he naʻe fanongo ia kuo mahaki ʻa Hesekaia.
13 Now Hezekiah rejoiced at their arrival, and so he revealed to them the house of aromatic spices, and the gold and silver, and the various pigments and ointments, and the house of his vessels, and all that he was able to have in his treasuries. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominions, that Hezekiah did not show to them.
Pea naʻe tokanga ʻa Hesekaia kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻae fale kotoa ʻo ʻene ngaahi meʻa maʻongoʻonga, ko e siliva, mo e koula, mo e ngaahi meʻa nanamu mo e lolo maʻongoʻonga, mo e fale ʻo ʻene mahafutau, mo ia kotoa pē naʻe ʻilo ʻi hono fale koloa: naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ʻi hono fale, mo hono puleʻanga kātoa naʻe taʻefakahā ʻe Hesekaia, kiate kinautolu.
14 Then the prophet Isaiah came to king Hezekiah, and said to him: “What did these men say? And from where did they come to you?” And Hezekiah said to him, “They came to me from Babylon, from a far away land.”
Pea naʻe toki haʻu ai ʻa ʻIsaia ko e palōfita ki he tuʻi ko Hesekaia, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻae lea naʻe fai ʻe he kau tangata na? Pea naʻa nau haʻu mei fē kiate koe?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Hesekaia. “Kuo nau haʻu mei he fonua mamaʻo, ʻio, mei Papilone.”
15 And he responded, “What did they see in your house?” And Hezekiah said: “They saw all things whatsoever that are in my house. There is nothing in my treasuries that I did not show to them.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā kuo nau mamata ki ai ʻi ho fale?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Hesekaia, ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi hoku fale kuo nau mamata ki ai: ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻi hoku ngaahi koloa naʻe ʻikai te u fakahā kiate kinautolu.
16 And so Isaiah said to Hezekiah: “Listen to the word of the Lord.
Pea pehē ʻe ʻIsaia kia Hesekaia, “Fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova.
17 Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and all that your fathers have stored up even to this day, will be carried away to Babylon. Nothing at all shall remain, says the Lord.
Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ʻe fetuku ai ki Papilone ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ho fale, mo ia kotoa pē naʻe tānaki ʻe hoʻo ngaahi tamai ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni: ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻE ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe toe.
18 Then too, they will take from your sons, who will go forth from you, whom you will conceive. And they will be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”
Pea koeʻuhi ʻi ho ngaahi foha ʻe tupu ʻiate koe, ʻaia ʻe fānau kiate koe, te nau ʻave ke mamaʻo; pea te nau nofo ko e kau talifekau ʻi he fale ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Papilone.”
19 Hezekiah said to Isaiah: “The word of the Lord, which you have spoken, is good. Let peace and truth be in my days.”
Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe Hesekaia kia ʻIsaia, “ʻOku lelei ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaia kuo ke lea ʻaki. Pea pehē ʻe ia, ʻIkai ʻoku lelei, ʻo kapau ʻe ai ʻae melino mo e moʻoni ʻi hoku ngaahi ʻaho ʻoʻoku?”
20 Now the rest of the words of Hezekiah, and all his strength, and how he made a pool, and an aqueduct, and how he brought waters into the city, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Hesekaia, mo ʻene mālohi kotoa pē, pea mo ʻene ngaohi ʻae tukunga vai, mo e tafeʻanga vai, mo ʻene ʻomi ʻae vai ki he kolo, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?
21 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers. And Manasseh, his son, reigned in his place.
Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Hesekaia mo ʻene ngaahi tamai: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko Manase.
