2 Kings 20

1 In those days Ezechias was sick unto death: and Isaias the son of Amos the prophet came and said to him: Thus saith the Lord God: Give charge concerning thy house, for thou shalt 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 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 beseech thee, O Lord, remember how I have walked before thee in truth, and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is pleasing before thee. And Ezechias wept with much 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 Isaias was gone out of the middle of the court, 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 Go back, and tell Ezechias the captain of my people: Thus saith the Lord the God of David thy father: I have heard thy prayer, and I have seen thy tears: and behold I have healed thee; on the third day thou shalt go up 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 to thy days fifteen years: and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians, and I will protect this city for my own sake, and for David my servant’s sake.

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 Isaias said: Bring me a lump of figs. And when they had brought it, and laid it upon his boil. 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 And Ezechias had said to Isaias: What shall be the sign that the Lord will heal me, and that I shall go up to the temple of the Lord 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 Isaias said to him: This shall be the sign from the Lord, that the Lord will do the word which he hath spoken: Wilt thou that the shadow go forward ten lines, or that it go back so many 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 Ezechias said: It is an easy matter for the shadow to go forward ten lines: and I do not desire that this be done, but let it return back 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 Isaias the prophet called upon the Lord, and he brought the shadow ten degrees backwards by the lines, by which it had already gone down in the dial of Achaz.

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 Berodach Baladan, the son of Baladan, king of the Babylonians, sent letters and presents to Ezechias: for he had heard that Ezechias had been sick.

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 And Ezechias rejoiced at their coming, and he showed them the house of his aromatical spices, and the gold and the silver, and divers precious odours, and ointments, and the house of his vessels, and all that he had in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominions that Ezechias shewed them not.

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 And Isaias the prophet came to king Ezechias, and said to him: What said these men? or from whence came they to thee? And Ezechias said to him: From a far country they came to me out of Babylon.

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 said: What did they see in thy house? Ezechias said: They saw all the things that are in my house: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewn 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 Isaias said to Ezechias: Hear the word of the Lord.

Pea pehē ʻe ʻIsaia kia Hesekaia, “Fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova.

17 Behold the days shall come, that all that is in thy house, and that thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith 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 And of thy sons also that shall issue from thee, whom thou shalt beget, they shall take away, and they shall 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 Ezechias said to Isaias: The word of the Lord, which thou hast 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 And the rest of the acts of Ezechias and all his might, and how he made a pool, and a conduit, and brought waters into the city, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?

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 Ezechias slept with his fathers, and Manasses his son reigned in his stead.

Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Hesekaia mo ʻene ngaahi tamai: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko Manase.
