2 Kings 20

1 In the days those he became sick Hezekiah to die and he came to him Isaiah [the] son of Amoz the prophet and he said to him thus he says Yahweh command to household your that [are] about to die you and not you will live.

Ved den Tid blev Ezekias dødssyg. Da kom Profeten Esajas, Amoz's Søn, til ham og sagde: »Saa siger HERREN: Beskik dit Hus, thi du skal dø og ikke leve!«

2 And he turned around face his to the wall and he prayed to Yahweh saying.

Da vendte han Ansigtet om mod Væggen og bad saaledes til HERREN:

3 I beg you O Yahweh remember please this: I have walked about before you in faithfulness and with a heart complete and the good in view your I have done and he wept Hezekiah weeping great.

»Ak, HERRE, kom dog i Hu, hvorledes jeg har vandret for dit Aasyn i Oprigtighed og med helt Hjerte og gjort, hvad der er godt i dine Øjne!« Og Ezekias græd højt.

4 And it was Isaiah not he had gone out ([the] court *Q(K)*) middle and [the] word of Yahweh it came to him saying.

Men Esajas var endnu ikke ude af den mellemste Forgaard, før HERRENS Ord kom til ham saaledes:

5 Go back and you will say to Hezekiah [the] ruler of people my thus he says Yahweh [the] God of David ancestor your I have heard prayer your I have seen tear[s] your here I [am] about to heal you on the day third you will go up [the] house of Yahweh.

»Vend tilbage og sig til Ezekias, mit Folks Fyrste: Saa siger HERREN, din Fader Davids Gud: Jeg har hørt din Bøn, jeg har set dine Taarer! Se, jeg vil helbrede dig; i Overmorgen kan du gaa op i HERRENS Hus;

6 And I will add to days your fif-teen year[s] and from [the] hand of [the] king of Assyria I will deliver you and the city this and I will defend the city this for own sake my and for [the] sake of David servant my.

og jeg vil lægge femten Aar til dit Liv og udfri dig og denne By af Assyrerkongens Haand og værne om denne By for min og min Tjener Davids Skyld!«

7 And he said Isaiah take a cake of figs and people took [it] and they put [it] on the boil and he lived.

Derpaa sagde Esajas: »Kom med et Figenplaster!« Og da de kom med Plasteret og lagde det paa det syge Sted, blev han rask.

8 And he said Hezekiah to Isaiah what? [will be] a sign that he will heal Yahweh me and I will go up on the day third [the] house of Yahweh.

Men Ezekias sagde til Esajas: »Hvad er Tegnet paa, at HERREN vil helbrede mig, saa jeg i Overmorgen kan gaa op i HERRENS Hus?«

9 And he said Isaiah this for you [will be] the sign from with Yahweh that he will do Yahweh the thing which he has spoken it has gone the shadow ten steps or? will it go back ten steps.

Da svarede Esajas: »Dette skal være dig Tegnet fra HERREN paa, at HERREN vil udføre, hvad han har sagt: Skal Skyggen gaa ti Streger frem eller ti Streger tilbage?«

10 And he said Hezekiah it is trifling to the shadow to stretch out ten steps In-deed let it go back the shadow backwards ten steps.

Ezekias sagde: »Skyggen kan let strække sig ti Streger frem — nej, lad den gaa ti Streger tilbage!«

11 And he called out Isaiah the prophet to Yahweh and he turned back the shadow on the steps which it had gone down on [the] steps of Ahaz backwards ten steps.

Da raabte Profeten Esajas til HERREN; og han lod Skyggen paa Akaz's Solur gaa ti Streger tilbage.

12 At the time that he sent Merodach-Baladan [the] son of Baladan [the] king of Babylon letters and a gift to Hezekiah for he had heard that he had been sick Hezekiah.

Ved den Tid sendte Bal'adans Søn, Kong Merodak-Bal'adan af Babel, Brev og Gave til Ezekias, da han hørte, at Ezekias havde været syg.

13 And he listened to them Hezekiah and he showed them all [the] house of (treasure his *Q(K)*) the silver and the gold and the spices and - [the] oil of the good and [the] house of weapons his and all that it was found in storehouses his not it was anything which not he showed them Hezekiah in house his and in all realm his.

Og Ezekias glædede sig over deres Komme og viste dem hele Huset, hvor han havde sine Skatte, Sølvet og Guldet, Røgelsestofferne, den fine Olie, hele sit Vaabenoplag og alt, hvad der var i hans Skatkamre; der var ikke den Ting i hans Hus og hele hans Rige, som Ezekias ikke viste dem.

14 And he came Isaiah the prophet to the king Hezekiah and he said to him what? did they say - the men these and from where? are they coming to you and he said Hezekiah from a land distant they came from Babylon.

Da kom Profeten Esajas til Kong Ezekias og sagde til ham: »Hvad sagde disse Mænd, og hvorfra kom de til dig?« Ezekias svarede: »De kom fra et fjernt Land, fra Babel!«

15 And he said what? did they see in house your and he said Hezekiah all that [is] in house my they saw not it was anything which not I showed them in storehouses my.

Da spurgte han: »Hvad fik de at se i dit Hus?« Ezekias svarede: »Alt, hvad der er i mit Hus, saa de; der er ikke den Ting i mine Skatkamre, jeg ikke viste dem!«

16 And he said Isaiah to Hezekiah hear [the] word of Yahweh.

Da sagde Esajas til Ezekias: »Hør HERRENS Ord!

17 Here! days [are] coming and it will be carried off - all that [is] in house your and [that] which they have stored up ancestors your until the day this Babylon towards not it will be left behind anything he says Yahweh.

Se, Dage skal komme, da alt, hvad der er i dit Hus, og hvad dine Fædre har samlet indtil denne Dag, skal bringes til Babel og intet lades tilbage, siger HERREN!

18 And some of descendants your who they will come forth from you whom you will father (people will take away *Q(K)*) and they will be eunuchs in [the] palace of [the] king of Babylon.

Og af dine Sønner, der nedstammer fra dig, og som du avler, skal nogle tages og gøres til Hofmænd i Babels Konges Palads!«

19 And he said Hezekiah to Isaiah [is] good [the] word of Yahweh which you have spoken and he said ¿ not if peace and stability it will be in days my.

Men Ezekias sagde til Esajas: »Det Ord fra HERREN, du har kundgjort, er godt!« Thi han tænkte: »Saa bliver der da Fred og Tryghed, saa længe jeg lever!«

20 And [the] rest of [the] matters of Hezekiah and all might his and which he made the pool and the conduit and he brought the waters the city towards ¿ not [are] they written on [the] scroll of [the] matters of the days of [the] kings of Judah.

Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Ezekias og hans Heltegerninger, og hvorledes han anlagde Vanddammen og Vandledningen og ledede Vandet ind i Byen, staar jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.

21 And he lay down Hezekiah with ancestors his and he became king Manasseh son his in place of him.

Saa lagde Ezekias sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre; og hans Søn Manasse blev Konge i hans Sted.
