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.’”
Ní ayé ìgbà wọ̀n-ọn-nì Hesekiah ṣe àìsàn ó sì wà ní ojú ikú. Wòlíì Isaiah ọmọ Amosi lọ sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ ó sì wí pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa sọ: tún ilé rẹ ṣe, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ yóò kú; o kò ní í gbádùn.”
2 Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall and prayed,
Hesekiah yí ojú rẹ̀ padà sí ògiri ó sì gbàdúrà sí Olúwa pé,
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.
“Rántí, Olúwa mi, bí èmi ṣe rìn níwájú rẹ àti pẹ̀lú bí èmi ṣe jẹ́ olóòtítọ́ àti pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọkàn ìfọkànsìn mi tí èmi sì ti ṣe ohun tí ó dára níwájú rẹ.” Hesekiah sọkún kíkorò.
4 Isaiah left the king, but before he had crossed the middle courtyard of the palace, Yahweh gave him a message
Kí ó tó di wí pé Isaiah jáde kúrò ní àárín àgbàlá ààfin, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ pé:
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.
“Lọ padà kí o sì sọ fún Hesekiah, olórí àwọn ènìyàn mi pé, ‘Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa, Ọlọ́run baba rẹ Dafidi sọ: Mo ti gbọ́ àdúrà rẹ mo sì ti rí omijé rẹ, Èmi yóò wò ọ́ sàn. Ní ọjọ́ kẹta láti ìsinsin yìí, ìwọ yóò lọ sókè ilé tí a kọ́ fún Olúwa.
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].’”
Èmi yóò fi ọdún mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún kún ọjọ́ ayé rẹ. Èmi yóò sì gbà ọ́ àti ìlú ńlá yìí láti ọwọ́ ọba Asiria. Èmi yóò sì dáàbò bo ìlú yìí nítorí ti èmi tìkára mi àti nítorí ti Dafidi ìránṣẹ́ mi.’”
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.”
Nígbà náà ni Isaiah wí pé, “Mú odidi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́.” Wọ́n sì mú un, wọ́n sì fi lé oówo náà, ara rẹ̀ sì yá.
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?”
Hesekiah sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ Isaiah pé, “Kí ni yóò jẹ́ àmì pé Olúwa yóò wò mí sàn àti wí pé èmi yóò lọ sókè sí ilé tí a kọ́ fún Olúwa láti ọjọ́ kẹta títí di òní?”
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?”
Isaiah dáhùn pé, “Èyí ni àmì tí Olúwa fún ọ wí pé Olúwa yóò ṣe ohun tí ó ti ṣe ìlérí: kí òjìji lọ síwájú ìgbésẹ̀ mẹ́wàá, tàbí kí ó padà lọ ní ìgbésẹ̀ mẹ́wàá?”
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.”
“Ó jẹ́ ohun ìrọ̀rùn fún òjìji láti lọ síwájú ìgbésẹ̀ mẹ́wàá,” Hesekiah wí pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, jẹ́ kí ó lọ padà ní ìgbésẹ̀ mẹ́wàá.”
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).
Nígbà náà wòlíì Isaiah ké pe Olúwa, Olúwa sì ṣe òjìji padà sí ìgbésẹ̀ mẹ́wàá ó ti sọ̀kalẹ̀ ní òpópó ọ̀nà Ahasi.
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.
Ní àkókò náà ni Merodaki-Baladani ọmọ Baladani ọba Babeli ránṣẹ́ ìwé àti ẹ̀bùn sí Hesekiah nítorí tí ó ti gbọ́ nípa àìsàn Hesekiah.
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.
Hesekiah gba ìránṣẹ́ náà ó sì fihàn wọ́n, gbogbo ohun tí ó wà nínú ilé ìṣúra—sílífà, àti wúrà, àti tùràrí, àti òróró dáradára àti ìhámọ́ra àti gbogbo èyí tí a rí lára ìṣúra rẹ̀. Kò sí nǹkan nínú ààfin rẹ̀ tàbí nínú gbogbo ìjọba rẹ̀ tí Hesekiah kò sì fihàn wọ́n.
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.”
Nígbà náà Isaiah wòlíì lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọba Hesekiah ó sì béèrè pé, “Kí ni àwọn ọkùnrin náà sọ, àti níbo ni wọ́n ti ń bọ̀ wá?” “Láti ìlú jíjìn réré,” Hesekiah dáhùn. “Wọ́n wá láti Babeli.”
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.”
Wòlíì náà béèrè pé, “Kí ni wọ́n rí ní ààfin rẹ?” “Wọ́n rí gbogbo nǹkan ní ààfin mi,” Hesekiah wí pé. “Kò sí nǹkan kan lára àwọn ìṣúra tí èmi kò fihàn wọ́n.”
16 [Isaiah knew that Hezekiah had done a very foolish thing]. So Isaiah said to him, “Listen to what Yahweh says to you.
Nígbà náà Isaiah wí fún Hesekiah pé, “Gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa,
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]
àkókò náà yóò sì dé nítòótọ́ nígbà tí gbogbo ohun tí ó wà ní ààfin àti gbogbo ohun tí baba rẹ̀ ti kó pamọ́ sókè títí di ọjọ́ òní, wọn yí ó gbe lọ sí Babeli, kò sí ohun tí yóò kù, ni Olúwa wí.
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.”
Àti díẹ̀ nínú àwọn ìran rẹ, ẹran-ara rẹ àti ẹ̀jẹ̀, tí wọn yóò bí fún ọ, ni wọn yóò kó lọ, wọn yóò sì di ìwẹ̀fà ní ààfin ọba Babeli.”
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.”
Hesekiah wí fún Isaiah pé. “Rere ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí ìwọ sọ.” Nítorí ó rò wí pé, “Kò ha dára àlàáfíà àti òtítọ́ ní ọjọ́ ayé mi?”
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’.
Ní ti àwọn ìṣẹ̀lẹ̀ tókù nípa ìjọba Hesekiah, gbogbo ohun tí ó ṣe tan àti bí ó ti ṣe adágún omi àti ọ̀nà omi náà nípa èyí tí ó gbé wá omi sínú ìlú ńlá, ṣé wọn kò kọ wọ́n sínú ìwé ìgbésẹ̀ ayé àwọn ọba àwọn Juda?
21 Later Hezekiah died [EUP], and his son Manasseh became the king.
Hesekiah sì sùn pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ̀: Manase ọmọ rẹ̀ sì jẹ ọba ní ipò rẹ̀.
