< 2 Kings 20 >
1 In those days Hezekiah fell sick unto death; and there came to him Isaiah the son of Amoz the prophet, and said unto him, Thus hath said the Lord, Give thy charge to thy house; for thou shalt die, and not live.
Vè menm epòk sa a, Ezekyas tonbe malad, li te prèt pou l' mouri. Pwofèt Ezayi, pitit Amòz la, vin wè li, li di l' konsa: —Men sa Seyè a voye di ou: Ou mèt mete lòd nan zafè ou paske ou pral mouri. Pa gen rechap pou ou.
2 Then did he turn his face to the wall, and prayed unto the Lord, saying,
Ezekyas vire figi l' bay panno a fas, li lapriyè Seyè a.
3 I beseech thee, O Lord, remember now that I have walked before thee in truth, and with an undivided heart, and have done what is good in thy eyes. And Hezekiah wept aloud.
Li di: —Tanpri, Seyè! Chonje jan mwen te sèvi ou ak tout kè mwen san m' pa janm vire do ba ou! Mwen te toujou fè sa ou te vle m' fè. Epi li pran kriye kont kriye l'.
4 And it came to pass, before Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the Lord came to him, saying,
Lè Ezayi kite wa a, li pa t' ankò soti nan lakou ki nan mitan palè a lè Seyè a pale avè l', li di l' konsa:
5 Return, and say to Hezekiah the ruler of my people, Thus hath said the Lord, 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 shalt thou go up unto the house of the Lord.
—Tounen al jwenn Ezekyas, chèf pèp mwen an. W'a di l' pou mwen. Men sa Seyè a, Bondye David, zansèt ou a, voye di ou. Mwen tande lapriyè ou. Mwen wè jan sa fè ou mal, m'ap geri ou. Nan twa jou w'ap kanpe, ou pral nan Tanp Seyè a.
6 And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and out of the hand of the king of Assyria will I deliver thee and this city; and I will shield this city for my own sake, and for the sake of David my servant.
M'ap kite ou viv kenzan ankò, m'ap delivre ou, ou menm ansanm ak lavil Jerizalèm anba men wa Lasiri a. M'a pwoteje lavil la poutèt David sèvitè m' lan, ak poutèt mwen.
7 And Isaiah said, Fetch a lump of figs. And they fetched and laid it on the inflammation, and he recovered.
Ezayi mande pou fè yon kataplas ak fig frans mete sou malenng wa a. Yo fè sa vre. Epi wa a geri.
8 And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What sign shall there be that the Lord will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the Lord the third day?
Lè sa a, wa a mande Ezayi: —Kisa ki pral fè m' konnen Seyè a pral geri m' pou nan twa jou m' ka al nan Tanp Seyè a?
9 And Isaiah said, This shall be unto thee the sign from the Lord, that the Lord will do the thing that he hath spoken: Shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?
Ezayi reponn li: —Men siy Seyè a pral fè ou wè pou ou ka konnen l'ap kenbe pawòl li. Gade kadran solèy la. Eske ou ta vle pou lonbraj la mache annavan sou dis ti mak, osinon pou l' fè bak sou dis ti mak?
10 And Hezekiah said, It is a light thing for the shadow to go forward ten degrees: no; but let the shadow return backward ten degrees.
Ezekyas di l': —Se bagay fasil pou lonbraj la mache annavan sou dis ti mak. L'ap pi difisil pou l' fè bak sou dis ti mak.
11 And Isaiah the prophet called unto the Lord; and he caused the shadow to return, by the degrees which the [sun] was gone down on the dial of Achaz, backward, ten degrees.
Pwofèt Izayi lapriyè Seyè a epi Seyè a fè lonbraj la fè bak sou dis ti mak li te fin depase nan kadran solèy wa Akaz te fè a.
12 And at that time sent Berodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, the king of Babylon, letters and a present unto Hezekiah; for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.
Nan menm epòk sa a, wa peyi Babilòn lan, Mewodak Baladan, pitit gason Baladan, vin konnen wa Ezekyas te malad. Li voye yon lèt ba li ansanm ak yon kado.
13 And Hezekiah listened unto them, and showed them the whole of his treasure-house, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil, and the whole of his armor-house, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing that Hezekiah showed them not, in his house and in all his dominion.
Ezekyas te kontan jès la. Li moutre mesaje wa Babilòn te voye yo tout richès li yo: pyès an ajan, lò, epis, boutèy odè, zam ansanm ak tout lòt bagay li te gen nan depo l' yo. Li fè yo wè dènye bagay li te gen lakay li ak nan tout peyi a.
14 Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What did these men say? and whence did they come unto thee? And Hezekiah said, From a far off country are they come, from Babylon.
Lè sa a, pwofèt Ezayi al jwenn wa Ezekyas, li mande l': —Kote mesye sa yo soti? Kisa yo di ou? Ezekyas reponn: —Yo soti nan yon peyi byen lwen, yo soti nan peyi Babilòn.
15 And he said, What did they see in thy house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in my house have they seen: there was nothing that I did not show them in my treasures.
Ezayi di l' konsa: —Kisa yo wè nan palè a? Ezekyas reponn: —Yo wè tout sa ki nan palè a. Mwen fè yo wè dènye bagay mwen gen nan depo m' yo.
16 And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the Lord,
Ezayi di wa Ezekyas konsa: —Koute mesaj Seyè ki gen pouvwa a voye ba ou:
17 Behold, days are coming, when all that is in thy house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the Lord.
Yon lè gen pou rive. Lè sa a, y'ap pran dènye bagay ki nan palè ou la, tou sa zansèt ou yo te anpile depi nan tan lontan jouk jòdi a, y'ap pote yo ale nan peyi Babilòn. Yo p'ap kite anyen. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
18 And of thy sons that will issue from thee, whom thou wilt beget, shall they take; and they shall be court-servants in the palace of the king of Babylon.
Y'ap pran kèk nan pwòp pitit pitit ou yo, y'ap depòte yo, y'ap chatre yo pou yo ka sèvi nèg konfyans nan palè wa Babilòn lan.
19 Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord which thou hast spoken. And he said, Is it not so, if there be peace and stability in my days?
Ezekyas reponn Ezayi, li di l' konsa: —Mesaj Bondye ba ou pou di m' lan gen tan bon. Men li t'ap di nan kè l': Depi pa gen boulvès, depi pa gen lagè nan peyi a tout tan m'ap viv la!
20 And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his mighty deeds, and how he made the pool, and the aqueduct, and brought the water into the city, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
Tout rès istwa Ezekyas la, jan li te vanyan sòlda, jan li te bati rezèvwa dlo a ak gwo kannal anba tè pou mennen dlo nan lavil la, nou jwenn tou sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida yo.
21 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers: and Menasseh his son became king in his stead.
Lè Ezekyas mouri, se Manase, pitit gason l' lan, ki moute wa nan plas li.
