2 Kings 20
1 In those days was Hezekiah sick to death. Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, "Thus says Jehovah, 'Set your house in order; for you shall die, and not live.'"
In diebus illis ægrotavit Ezechias usque ad mortem: et venit ad eum Isaias filius Amos, propheta, dixitque ei: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Præcipe domui tuæ: morieris enim tu, et non vives.
2 Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to Jehovah, saying,
Qui convertit faciem suam ad parietem, et oravit Dominum, dicens:
3 "Remember now, Jehovah, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight." Hezekiah wept bitterly.
Obsecro Domine, memento quæso quomodo ambulaverim coram te in veritate, et in corde perfecto, et quod placitum est coram te, fecerim. Flevit itaque Ezechias fletu magno.
4 It happened, before Isaiah had gone out of the middle court, that the word of Jehovah came to him, saying,
Et antequam egrederetur Isaias mediam partem atrii, factus est sermo Domini ad eum, dicens:
5 "Turn back, and tell Hezekiah the prince of my people, 'Thus says Jehovah, the God of David your father, "I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Look, I will heal you. On the third day, you shall go up to the house of Jehovah.
Revertere, et dic Ezechiæ duci populi mei: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus David patris tui: Audivi orationem tuam, et vidi lacrymas tuas: et ecce sanavi te, die tertio ascendes templum Domini.
6 I will add to your days fifteen years. I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake."'"
Et addam diebus tuis quindecim annos: sed et de manu regis Assyriorum liberabo te, et civitatem hanc, et protegam urbem istam propter me, et propter David servum meum.
7 Isaiah said, "Take a cake of figs." They took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.
Dixitque Isaias: Afferte massam ficorum. Quam cum attulissent, et posuissent super hulcus eius, curatus est.
8 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?"
Dixerat autem Ezechias ad Isaiam: Quod erit signum, quia Dominus me sanabit, et quia ascensurus sum die tertia templum Domini?
9 Isaiah said, "This shall be the sign to you from Jehovah, that Jehovah will do the thing that he has spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps?"
Cui ait Isaias: Hoc erit signum a Domino, quod facturus sit Dominus sermonem, quem locutus est: Vis ut ascendat umbra decem lineis, an ut revertatur totidem gradibus?
10 Hezekiah answered, "It is a light thing for the shadow to go forward ten steps. Nay, but let the shadow return backward ten steps."
Et ait Ezechias: Facile est, umbram crescere decem lineis: nec hoc volo ut fiat, sed ut revertatur retrorsum decem gradibus.
11 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.
Invocavit itaque Isaias propheta Dominum, et reduxit umbram per lineas, quibus iam descenderat in horologio Achaz, retrorsum decem gradibus.
12 At that time Marduk-Baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick, and had recovered.
In tempore illo misit Berodach Baladan, filius Baladan, rex Babyloniorum litteras et munera ad Ezechiam: audierat enim quod ægrotasset Ezechias.
13 Hezekiah was delighted at this, 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.
Lætatus est autem in adventu eorum Ezechias, et ostendit eis domum aromatum, et aurum et argentum, et pigmenta varia, unguenta quoque, et domum vasorum suorum, et omnia quæ habere poterat in thesauris suis. Non fuit quod non monstraret eis Ezechias in domo sua, et in omni potestate sua.
14 Then Isaiah the prophet came to king Hezekiah, and said to him, "What did these men say? From where did they come to you?" Hezekiah said, "They have come from a far country, even from Babylon."
Venit autem Isaias propheta ad regem Ezechiam, dixitque ei: Quid dixerunt viri isti? Aut unde venerunt ad te? Cui ait Ezechias: De terra longinqua venerunt ad me de Babylone.
15 He said, "What have they seen in your house?" Hezekiah answered, "They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them."
At ille respondit: Quid viderunt in domo tua? Ait Ezechias: Omnia quæcumque sunt in domo mea, viderunt: nihil est quod non monstraverim eis in thesauris meis.
16 Isaiah said to Hezekiah, "Hear the word of Jehovah.
Dixit itaque Isaias Ezechiæ: Audi sermonem Domini:
17 'Look, the days come, that all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have laid up in store to this day, shall be carried to Babylon. Nothing shall be left,' says Jehovah.
Ecce dies venient, et auferentur omnia, quæ sunt in domo tua, et quæ condiderunt patres tui usque in diem hanc, in Babylonem: non remanebit quidquam, ait Dominus.
18 'Of your sons who shall issue from you, whom you shall father, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.'"
Sed et de filiis tuis qui egredientur ex te, quos generabis, tollentur, et erunt eunuchi in palatio regis Babylonis.
19 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "The word of Jehovah which you have spoken is good." He said moreover, "Isn't it so, if peace and truth shall be in my days?"
Dixit Ezechias ad Isaiam: Bonus sermo Domini, quem locutus es: sit pax et veritas in diebus meis.
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, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Reliqua autem sermonum Ezechiæ, et omnis fortitudo eius, et quomodo fecerit piscinam, et aquæductum, et introduxerit aquas in civitatem, nonne hæc scripta sunt in Libro sermonum dierum regum Iuda?
21 Hezekiah slept with his fathers; and Manasseh his son reigned in his place.
Dormivitque Ezechias cum patribus suis, et regnavit Manasses filius eius pro eo.
