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.’”
Sa mga panahon na iyon ay may sakit si Hezekias na maaari niyang ikamatay. Kaya pinuntahan siya ni Isaias ang anak ni Amoz, at sinabi sa kaniya, “Sinasabi ni Yahweh, 'Ihanda mo ang iyong sambahayan; dahil mamamatay ka na, at hindi na mabubuhay.'”
2 Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall and prayed,
Pagkatapos humarap si Hezekias sa pader at nanalangin kay Yahweh, na sinasabing,
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.
“Pakiusap, Yahweh, alalahanin mo kung paano ako buong pusong lumakad ng tapat sa iyong harapan, at kung paano ko ginawa ang tama sa iyong paningin.” At tumangis ng malakas si Hezekais.
4 Isaiah left the king, but before he had crossed the middle courtyard of the palace, Yahweh gave him a message
Bago lumabas si Isaias sa gitnang patyo, dumating sa kaniya ang mensahe ni Yahweh, na sinasabing,
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, at sabihin kay Hezekias, ang pinuno ng aking bayan, 'Ito ang sinasabi ni Yahweh, ang Diyos ni David na inyong ninuno: “Narinig ko ang iyong panalangin, at nakita ko ang iyong mga luha. Pagagalingin na kita sa ikatlong araw, at aakyat ka sa tahanan ni Yahweh.
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].’”
Dadagdagan ko ng labinlimang taon ang iyong buhay, at ililigtas kita at ang lungsod na ito mula sa kapangyarihan ng hari ng Asiria, at ipagtatanggol ko ang lungsod na ito para sa sarili kong kapakanan at para sa kapakanan ng 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.”
Kaya sinabi ni Isaias, “Kumuha kayo ng tumpok ng mga igos.” Ginawa nila ito at pinatong sa kaniyang pigsa, at gumaling siya.
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?”
Sabi ni Hezekias kay Isaias, “Ano ang magiging tanda na pagagalingin ako ni Yahweh, at dapat akong umakyat sa templo ni Yahweh 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?”
Sumagot si Isaias, “Ito ang magiging tanda para sa iyo mula kay Yahweh, na gagawin ni Yahweh ang bagay na kaniyang sinabi. Dapat bang humakbang ang anino ng sampung hakbang pasulong, o sampung hakbang pabalik?”
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.”
Sumagot si Hezekias, “Madali lang para sa anino na humakbang ng sampung beses pasulong. Hindi, hayaang humakbang ang anino ng sampung hakbang pabalik.”
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).
Kaya tumawag si Isaias kay Yahweh, at dinulot niya ang anino na humakbang ng sampung beses pabalik, mula sa pinanggalingan nito sa hagdan ni Ahaz.
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.
Sa panahon na iyon si Berodac Baladan na anak ni Baladan hari ng Babilonia ay nagpadala ng mga liham at isang kaloob kay Hezekias, dahil narinig niya na nagkaroon ng karamdaman si Hezekias.
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.
Nakinig si Hezekias sa mga liham na iyon, at pinakita niya sa mga mensahero ang buong palasyo at ang kaniyang mahahalagang mga gamit, ang pilak, ang ginto, ang mga sangkap at mahalagang langis, at ang imbakan ng kaniyang mga sandata, at lahat ng matatagpuan sa kaniyang mga imbakan. Walang natira sa kaniyang bahay, ni sa lahat ng kaniyang kaharian, ang hindi pinakita ni Hezekias sa kanila.
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.”
Pumunta si propeta Isaias kay Haring Hezekias at tinanong siya, “Anong sinabi ng mga lalaking ito sa iyo? Saan sila nagmula?” Sinabi ni Hezekias, “Nagmula sila sa malayong bansa ng 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.”
Tinanong ni Isaias, “Ano ang nakita nila sa bahay mo?” Sumagot si Hezekias, “Nakita nila lahat ng bagay sa aking bahay. Wala sa mga mahahalaga kong mga gamit ang hindi 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.
Kaya sinabi ni Isaias kay Hezekias, “Makinig sa mensahe ni Yahweh:
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]
'Tingnan mo, paparating na ang araw nang lahat ng nasa iyong palasyo, ang mga bagay na inimbak ng iyong mga ninuno hanggang sa araw na ito, ay dadalhin sa Babilonia. Walang matitira, sabi ni Yahweh.
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 mga anak na lalaki na nanggaling sa iyo, na ikaw mismo ang nag-alaga—dadalhin nila palayo, at sila ay magiging mga eunoko sa palasyo ng hari ng 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.”
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Hezekias kay Isaias, “Mabuti ang mensahe ni Yahweh na iyong sinabi.” Dahil inisip niya, “Hindi ba magkakaroon ng kapayapaan at katatagan sa aking panahon?”
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’.
Para sa ibang mga bagay tungkol kay Hezekias, at lahat ng kaniyang kapangyarihan, at kung paano niya itinayo ang tubigan at ang padaluyan ng tubig, at paano niya dinala ang tubig sa lungsod—hindi ba nakasulat ang mga ito sa Aklat ng mga Kaganapan sa buhay ng mga Hari ng Juda?
21 Later Hezekiah died [EUP], and his son Manasseh became the king.
Nahimlay si Hezekias kasama ng kaniyang mga ninuno, at si Manasses na kaniyang anak ang pumalit sa kaniya bilang hari.
