2 Kings 20
1 In those days Hezekiah was sick to the point of dying. So Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet came to him, and said to him, “Yahweh says, 'Set your house in order; for you will die, and not live.'”
I aua ra ka mate a Hetekai, whano marere, Na ka tae mai a Ihaia poropiti tama a Amoho ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Whakahaua iho tou whare; no te mea ka mate koe, kahore e ora.
2 Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to Yahweh, saying,
Katahi ka tahuri tona mata ki te pakitara, ka inoi ki a Ihowa, ka mea,
3 “Please, Yahweh, call to mind how I have faithfully walked before you with my whole heart, and how I have done what was good in your sight.” Then Hezekiah wept loudly.
Tena ra, e Ihowa, kia mahara ki oku haereerenga i tou aroaro i runga i te pono, i te ngakau tapatahi, ki taku meatanga i te pai ki tau titiro. Na tangi ana a Hetekia, nui atu te tangi.
4 Before Isaiah had gone out into the middle courtyard, the word of Yahweh came to him, saying,
Na kahore ano a Ihaia kia puta noa ki waenganui o te pa, kua puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a ia, kua mea,
5 “Turn back, and say to Hezekiah, the leader of my people, 'This is what Yahweh, the God of David your ancestor, says: “I have heard your prayer, and I have seen your tears. I am about to heal you on the third day, and you will go up to the house of Yahweh.
Hoki atu, mea atu ki te rangatira o taku iwi, ki a Hetekia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Rawiri, o tou tupuna, Kua whakarangona tau inoi e ahau, a kua kite ahau i ou roimata: nana, me whakaora koe e ahau: hei te toru o nga ra ka haere ko e ki runga, ki te whare o Ihowa.
6 I will add fifteen years to your life, and I will rescue you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city for my own sake and for my servant David's sake.”'”
Ka tapiritia ano e ahau ou ra ki nga tau kotahi tekau ma rima: a ka whakaorangia koe me tenei pa e ahau i te ringa o te kingi o Ahiria; a ka tiakina e ahau tenei pa, he whakaaro ki ahau ano, ki taku tangata hoki, ki a Rawiri.
7 So Isaiah said, “Take a lump of figs.” They did so and put it on his boil, and he recovered.
I ki ano hoki a Ihaia, Tikina he papa piki. Na tikina ana e ratou, whakapakia ana ki te whewhe, na kua ora ia.
8 Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “What will be the sign that Yahweh will heal me, and that I should go up to the temple of Yahweh on the third day?”
Na ka mea a Hetekia ki a Ihaia, He aha te tohu moku ka whakaorangia ahau e Ihowa? moku ka haere i te toru o nga ra ki te whare o Ihowa?
9 Isaiah replied, “This will be the sign for you from Yahweh, that Yahweh will do the thing that he has spoken. Shall the shadow go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps?”
Ano ra ko Ihaia, Ko te tohu tenei a Ihowa ki a koe, ka oti i a Ihowa tana kupu i korero ai ia: kia tekau ranei nga nekehanga e neke atu ai te atarangi; kia tekau ranei nga whakahokinga e hoki ai?
10 Hezekiah answered, “It is an easy thing for the shadow to go forward ten steps. No, let the shadow go backward ten steps.”
Ano ra ko Hetekia, He mea noa iho kia tekau nga nekehanga e neke atu ai te atarangi; erangi kia tekau nga nekehanga e hoki ai te atarangi ki muri.
11 So Isaiah the prophet cried out to Yahweh, and he brought the shadow ten steps backward, from where it had moved on the stairway of Ahaz.
Katahi a Ihaia poropiti ka karanga ki a Ihowa, a whakahokia ana e ia te atarangi, tekau nga nekehanga, o nga nekehanga i heke iho ai i te whakaatu haora a Ahata.
12 At that time Marduk-Baladan son of Baladan king of Babylon sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah, for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.
I taua wa ka tukua e Peroraka Pararana, tama a Pararana kingi o Papurona he pukapuka me tetahi hakari ki a Hetekia: no te mea i rongo ia i te mate a Hetekia.
13 Hezekiah listened to those letters, and then showed the messengers all the palace and his valuable things, the silver, the gold, the spices and precious oil, and the storehouse of his weapons, and all that was found in his storehouses. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his kingdom, that Hezekiah did not show them.
A i whakarongo a Hetekia ki a ratou, whakakitea ana e ia ki a ratou te whare katoa o ana mea papai, te hiriwa, te koura, nga kinaki kakara, te hinu utu nui, me te whare o ana mea mo te whawhai me nga mea katoa i rokohanga ki roto ki ona taonga: kahore tetahi mea o tona whare, o tona kingitanga katoa, i kore te whakakitea e Hetekia ki a ratou.
14 Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and asked him, “What did these men say to you? Where did they come from?” Hezekiah said, “They came from the distant country of Babylon.”
Katahi ka haere mai a Ihaia poropiti ki a Kingi Hetekia, ka mea ki mai hoki ratou ki a koe i hea? Ano ra ko Hetekia, i haere mai ratou i te whenua hoi, i Papurona.
15 Isaiah asked, “What have they seen in your house?” Hezekiah answered, “They have seen everything in my house. There is nothing among my valuable things that I have not shown them.”
Ano ra ko tera, He aha nga mea i kitea e ratou ki tou whare? Ka whakahokia e Hetekia, Kua kitea e ratou nga mea katoa i toku whare: kahore tetahi mea o oku taonga i kore te whakakitea e ahau ki a ratou.
16 So Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Listen to the word of Yahweh:
Na ka mea a Ihaia ki a Hetekia, Whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa.
17 'Look, the days are about to come when everything in your palace, the things that your ancestors stored away until this present day, will be carried to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says Yahweh.
Nana, kei te haere mai nga ra e kawea ai nga mea katoa o tou whare, me nga mea kua rongoatia nei e ou matua taea noatia tenei ra, ki Papurona: e kore tetahi mea e mahue, e ai ta Ihowa.
18 The sons born from you, whom you yourself have fathered—they will take them away, and they will become eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.'”
A ka tangohia e ratou etahi o au tama e puta mai i roto i a koe, e whanau mau; a hei unaka ratou i roto i te whare o te kingi o Papurona.
19 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of Yahweh that you have spoken is good.” For he thought, “Will there not be peace and stability in my days?”
Ano ra ko Hetekia ki a Ihaia, He pai te kupu a Ihowa i korerotia mai na e koe. I mea ano hoki ia, Ehara oti i te pai ki te mau te rongo me te pono i oku ra?
20 As for the other matters concerning Hezekiah, and all his power, and how he constructed the pool and the conduit, and how he brought water into the city—are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Judah?
Na, ko era atu meatanga a Hetekia me ana mahi toa katoa, me tana hanganga i te puna, i te awakeri, a whakaputaina ana e ia he wai ki te pa, kihai ianei ena i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Hura?
21 Hezekiah slept with his ancestors, and Manasseh his son became king in his place.
Na ka moe a Hetekia ki ona matua, a ko tana tama, ko Manahi, te kingi i muri i a ia.
