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 YHWH, 'Set your house in order; for you shall die, and not live.'"

Naqueles dias caiu Ezequias enfermo de morte, e veio a ele Isaías profeta filho de Amoz, e disse-lhe: o SENHOR disse assim: Dá ordens à tua casa, porque hás de morrer, e não viverás.

2 Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to YHWH, saying,

Então virou ele seu rosto à parede, e orou ao SENHOR, e disse:

3 "Remember now, YHWH, 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.

Rogo-te, ó SENHOR, rogo-te faças memória de que andei diante de ti em verdade e íntegro coração, e que fiz as coisas que te agradam. E chorou Ezequias com grande choro.

4 It happened, before Isaiah had gone out of the middle court, that the word of YHWH came to him, saying,

E antes que Isaías saísse até a metade do pátio, veio a palavra do SENHOR a Isaías, dizendo:

5 "Turn back, and tell Hezekiah the prince of my people, 'Thus says YHWH, 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 YHWH.

Volta, e dize a Ezequias, príncipe de meu povo: Assim diz o SENHOR, o Deus de Davi teu pai: Eu ouvi tua oração, e vi tuas lágrimas: eis que eu te saro; ao terceiro dia subirás à casa do SENHOR.

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."'"

E acrescentarei a teus dias quinze anos, e te livrarei a ti e a esta cidade da mão do rei da Assíria; e ampararei esta cidade por causa de mim, e por causa de Davi meu servo.

7 Isaiah said, "Take a cake of figs." They took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.

E disse Isaías: Tomai uma pasta de figos. E tomando-a, puseram sobre a chaga, e sanou.

8 Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "What shall be the sign that YHWH will heal me, and that I shall go up to the house of YHWH the third day?"

E Ezequias havia dito a Isaías: Que sinal terei de que o SENHOR me sarará, e que subirei à casa do SENHOR ao terceiro dia?

9 Isaiah said, "This shall be the sign to you from YHWH, that YHWH will do the thing that he has spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps?"

E respondeu Isaías: Esta sinal terás do SENHOR, de que fará o SENHOR isto que disse: Avançará a sombra dez degraus, ou retrocederá dez degraus?

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."

E Ezequias respondeu: Fácil coisa é que a sombra decline dez degraus: mas, que a sombra volte atrás dez degraus.

11 Isaiah the prophet cried to YHWH; and he brought the shadow ten steps backward, by which it had gone down on the dial of Ahaz.

Então o profeta Isaías clamou ao SENHOR; e fez voltar a sombra pelos degraus que havia descido no relógio de Acaz, dez degraus atrás.

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.

Naquele tempo Berodaque-Baladã, filho de Baladã, rei da Babilônia, enviou cartas e um presente a Ezequias, porque havia ouvido que Ezequias havia estado doente.

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.

E Ezequias os ouviu, e mostrou-lhes toda a casa das coisas preciosas, prata, ouro, e especiaria, e preciosos unguentos; e a casa de suas armas, e tudo o que havia em seus tesouros: nenhuma coisa restou que Ezequias não lhes mostrasse, tanto em sua casa como em todo o seu domínio.

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."

Então o profeta Isaías veio ao rei Ezequias, e disse-lhe: Que disseram aqueles homens, e de onde vieram a ti? E Ezequias lhe respondeu: De distantes terras vieram, de Babilônia.

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."

E ele lhe voltou a dizer: Que viram em tua casa? E Ezequias respondeu: Viram tudo o que havia em minha casa; nada restou em meus tesouros que não lhes mostrasse.

16 Isaiah said to Hezekiah, "Hear the word of YHWH.

Então Isaías disse a Ezequias: Ouve a palavra do SENHOR:

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 YHWH.

Eis que vêm dias, em que tudo o que está em tua casa, e tudo o que teus pais entesouraram até hoje, será levado a Babilônia, sem restar nada, disse o SENHOR.

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.'"

E de teus filhos que sairão de ti, que haverás gerado, tomarão; e serão eunucos no palácio do rei da Babilônia.

19 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "The word of YHWH which you have spoken is good." He said moreover, "Isn't it so, if peace and truth shall be in my days?"

Então Ezequias disse a Isaías: A palavra do SENHOR que falaste, é boa. Depois disse: Mas não haverá paz e verdade em meus dias?

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?

Os demais dos feitos de Ezequias, e todo o seu vigor, e como fez o tanque, e o aqueduto, e meteu as águas na cidade, não está escrito no livro das crônicas dos reis de Judá?

21 Hezekiah slept with his fathers; and Manasseh his son reigned in his place.

E descansou Ezequias com seus pais, e reinou em seu lugar Manassés seu filho.
