2 Kings 20

1 About that time, Hezekiah became very ill. [He thought that he] was about to die. Isaiah the prophet came to him and said, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘You should tell the people in your palace what you want them to do after you die, because you are not going to recover from this illness. You are going to die.’”

Nang mga araw na yaon ay may sakit na ikamamatay si Ezechias. At si Isaias na propeta na anak ni Amos ay naparoon sa kaniya, at nagsabi sa kaniya, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Ayusin mo ang iyong bahay; sapagka't ikaw ay mamamatay, at hindi mabubuhay.

2 Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall and prayed,

Nang magkagayo'y kaniyang ipinihit ang kaniyang mukha sa panig ng bahay, at nanalangin sa Panginoon, na nagsasabi,

3 “Yahweh, do not forget that I have always served you faithfully, and I have done things that pleased you.” Then Hezekiah started to cry loudly.

Idinadalangin ko sa iyo, Oh Panginoon, na iyong alalahanin, kung paanong ako'y lumakad sa harap mo sa katotohanan, at may dalisay na puso at gumawa ng mabuti sa iyong paningin. At si Ezechias ay umiyak na mainam.

4 Isaiah left the king, but before he had crossed the middle courtyard of the palace, Yahweh gave him a message

At nangyari, bago si Isaias ay lumabas sa pinakaloob ng bayan, na ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating sa kaniya, na nagsasabi,

5 which said, “Go back to Hezekiah, the ruler of my people, and say to him, ‘I, Yahweh, the God whom your ancestor King David [worshiped], have heard what you prayed. And I have seen your tears. So, listen: I will heal you. Two days from now you will [be able to] go up to my temple.

Bumalik ka uli, at sabihin mo kay Ezechias na pangulo ng aking bayan. Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng Dios ni David na iyong magulang, Aking narinig ang iyong panalangin, aking nakita ang iyong mga luha: narito, aking pagagalingin ka: sa ikatlong araw ay sasampa ka sa bahay ng Panginoon.

6 I will enable you to live for 15 more years. And I will rescue you and this city again from the power [MTY] of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for the sake of my own reputation and because of what I promised King David, who served me [well].’”

At aking idadagdag sa iyong mga kaarawan ay labing limang taon; at aking ililigtas ka at ang bayang ito sa kamay ng hari sa Asiria; at aking ipagsasanggalang ang bayang ito dahil sa akin, at dahil sa aking lingkod na si David.

7 So Isaiah [returned to the palace and told Hezekiah what Yahweh had said. Then he] [to Hezekiah’s servants], “Bring a paste made of boiled figs. Put some of it on his boil, and he will get well.”

At sinabi ni Isaias, Kayo'y magsikuha ng isang binilong igos. At kinuha nila at itinapal sa bukol at siya'y gumaling.

8 Then Hezekiah replied to Isaiah, “What will Yahweh do to prove that he will heal me and that two days from now I will be able to go up to the temple?”

At sinabi ni Ezechias kay Isaias, Ano ang magiging tanda na ako'y pagagalingin ng Panginoon, at ako'y sasampa sa bahay ng Panginoon sa ikatlong araw?

9 Isaiah replied, “Yahweh will do something that will prove to you that he will do what he promised. Do you want him to cause the shadow on the stairway/sundial to go back ten steps/degrees, or to go forward ten steps/degrees?”

At sinabi ni Isaias, Ito ang magiging tanda sa iyo na mula sa Panginoon, na gagawin ng Panginoon ang bagay na kaniyang sinalita: magpapauna ba ang anino ng sangpung grado, o magpapahuli ng sangpung grado?

10 Hezekiah replied, “It is easy to cause the shadow to move forward, [because that is what it always does]. Tell him to cause it to move backward ten steps/degrees.”

At sumagot si Ezechias, Magaang bagay sa anino na kumiling ng sangpung grado: hindi, kundi pahulihin ang anino ng sangpung grado.

11 So Isaiah prayed earnestly to Yahweh, and Yahweh caused the shadow to go backward ten steps/degrees on the stairway/sundial that King Ahaz had made (OR, that workers had built for King Ahaz).

At si Isaias na propeta ay dumalangin sa Panginoon: at kaniyang pinapagpahuli ang anino ng sangpung grado, na nakababa na sa orasan ni Achaz.

12 At that time, King Merodach-Baladan, the son of Baladan the [previous] King of Babylonia, heard a report that King Hezekiah had been very sick. So he wrote some letters and gave them to some messengers to take to Hezekiah, along with a gift.

Nang panahong yaon ay si Berodach-baladan, na anak ni Baladan, na hari sa Babilonia, ay nagpadala ng mga sulat at ng kaloob kay Ezechias: sapagka't kaniyang nabalitaan na si Ezechias ay nagkasakit.

13 [When the messengers arrived], Hezekiah welcomed them gladly. Then he showed them everything that was in his (treasure houses/places where very valuable things were stored)—the silver and gold, the spices, the nice-smelling olive oil, and all the weapons [for his soldiers]. He showed them all the [valuable] things in his storerooms and everywhere else in his kingdom [HYP]; he showed them everything.

At dininig ni Ezechias sila, at ipinakita sa kanila ang buong bahay ng kaniyang mahalagang mga bagay, ang pilak, at ang ginto, at ang mga espesia, at ang mahalagang langis, at ang bahay na taguan ng kaniyang sandata, at ang lahat na nasusumpungan sa mga kayamanan niya: walang anoman sa kaniyang bahay, o sa buong kaniyang sakop, na hindi ipinakita sa kanila ni Ezechias.

14 Then the prophet Isaiah went to Hezekiah and asked him, “Where did those men come from, and what did they say to you?” Hezekiah replied, “They came from a country very far from here. They came from Babylonia.”

Nang magkagayo'y naparoon si Isaias na propeta sa haring Ezechias, at nagsabi sa kaniya, Anong sinasabi ng mga lalaking ito? at saan nagsipanggaling na napasa iyo? At sinabi ni Ezechias, Sila'y nagsipanggaling sa malayong lupain, sa makatuwid baga'y sa Babilonia.

15 Isaiah asked, “What did they see in your palace?” Hezekiah replied, “They saw everything. I showed them absolutely everything that I own—all my valuable things.”

At kaniyang sinabi, Anong kanilang nakita sa iyong bahay? At sumagot si Ezechias. Lahat na nasa aking bahay ay kanilang nakita: walang anomang bagay na nasa aking mga kayamanan na di ko ipinakita sa kanila.

16 [Isaiah knew that Hezekiah had done a very foolish thing]. So Isaiah said to him, “Listen to what Yahweh says to you.

At sinabi ni Isaias kay Ezechias, Dinggin mo ang salita ng Panginoon.

17 There will be a time when everything that is still in your palace, all the valuable things that were put there by you and your ancestors, will be carried away to Babylon. There will be nothing left here! [That is what] Yahweh says [to you]

Narito, ang mga kaarawan ay dumarating, na ang lahat na nangasa iyong bahay, at ang itinago ng iyong mga magulang hanggang sa araw na ito, ay dadalhin sa Babilonia: walang maiiwan, sabi ng Panginoon.

18 Furthermore, some of your own descendants will be forced to go there, and they will be castrated in order that they may become servants in the palace of the King of Babylon.”

At ang ilan sa iyong mga anak na magmumula sa iyo na iyong ipanganganak, sila'y dadalhin; at sila'y magiging bating sa bahay ng hari sa Babilonia.

19 Then Hezekiah replied to Isaiah, “That message from Yahweh that you have given to me is good.” He said that because he was thinking, “Even if that happens, there will be peace and security [in Israel] all the rest of my life.”

Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Ezechias kay Isaias, Mabuti ang salita ng Panginoon na iyong sinalita. Kaniyang sinabi, bukod dito, Hindi ba, kung magkakaroon ng kapayapaan at katotohanan sa aking mga kaarawan?

20 [If you want to know more about] [RHQ] all the other things that Hezekiah did, about his brave deeds in battle, about his ordering a reservoir to be built in the city and a tunnel [to be dug] to bring water into the reservoir, they are all written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.

Ang iba nga sa mga gawa ni Ezechias, at ang buo niyang kapangyarihan, at kung paano niyang ginawa ang tipunan ng tubig, at ang padaluyan, at nagdala ng tubig sa bayan, hindi ba nangasusulat sa aklat ng mga alaala sa mga hari sa Juda?

21 Later Hezekiah died [EUP], and his son Manasseh became the king.

At natulog si Ezechias na kasama ng kaniyang mga magulang: at si Manases na kaniyang anak ay naghari na kahalili niya.
