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.'”
N'aquelles dias adoeceu Ezequias de morte: e o propheta Isaias, filho d'Amós, veiu a elle, e lhe disse: Assim diz o Senhor: Ordena a tua casa, porque morrerás, e não viverás.
2 Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to Yahweh, saying,
Então virou o rosto para a parede, e orou ao Senhor, dizendo:
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.
Ah, Senhor! Sê servido de te lembrar de que andei diante de ti em verdade, e com o coração perfeito, e fiz o que era recto aos teus olhos. E chorou Ezequias muitissimo.
4 Before Isaiah had gone out into the middle courtyard, the word of Yahweh came to him, saying,
Succedeu pois que, não havendo Isaias ainda saido do meio do pateo, veiu a elle a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
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.
Volta, e dize a Ezequias, chefe do meu povo: Assim diz o Senhor Deus de teu pae David: Ouvi a tua oração, e vi as tuas lagrimas; eis que eu te sararei; ao terceiro dia subirás á casa do Senhor.
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.”'”
E accrescentarei aos teus dias quinze annos, e das mãos do rei d'Assyria te livrarei, a ti e a esta cidade; e ampararei esta cidade por amor de mim, e por amor de David, meu servo.
7 So Isaiah said, “Take a lump of figs.” They did so and put it on his boil, and he recovered.
Disse mais Isaias: Tomae uma pasta de figos. E a tomaram, e a pozeram sobre a chaga; e elle sarou.
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?”
E Ezequias disse a Isaias: Qual é o signal de que o Senhor me sarará, e de que ao terceiro dia subirei á casa do Senhor?
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?”
E disse Isaias: Isto te será signal, da parte do Senhor, de que o Senhor cumprirá a palavra que disse: Adiantar-se-ha a sombra dez graus, ou voltará dez graus atraz?
10 Hezekiah answered, “It is an easy thing for the shadow to go forward ten steps. No, let the shadow go backward ten steps.”
Então disse Ezequias: É facil que a sombra decline dez graus; não, mas volte a sombra dez graus atraz.
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.
Então o propheta Isaias clamou ao Senhor; e fez voltar a sombra dez graus atraz, pelos graus que tinha declinado nos graus do relogio de sol d'Achaz.
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.
N'aquelle tempo enviou Berodac Baladan, filho de Baladan, rei de Babylonia, cartas e um presente a Ezequias; porque ouvira que Ezequias tinha estado doente.
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.
E Ezequias lhes deu ouvidos, e lhes mostrou toda a casa de seu thesouro, a prata, e o oiro, e as especiarias, e os melhores unguentos, e a sua casa d'armas, e tudo quanto se achou nos seus thesouros: coisa nenhuma houve que lhes não mostrasse, nem em sua casa, nem em todo o seu dominio.
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.”
Então o propheta Isaias veiu ao rei Ezequias, e lhe disse: Que disseram aquelles homens, e d'onde vieram a ti? E disse Ezequias: De um paiz mui remoto vieram, de Babylonia.
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.”
E disse elle: Que viram em tua casa? E disse Ezequias: Tudo quanto ha em minha casa viram: coisa nenhuma ha nos meus thesouros que eu lhes não mostrasse.
16 So Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Listen to the word of Yahweh:
Então disse Isaias a Ezequias: Ouve a palavra do Senhor:
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.
Eis que veem dias em que tudo quanto houver em tua casa, e o que enthesouraram teus paes até ao dia de hoje, será levado a Babylonia: não ficará coisa alguma, disse o Senhor.
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.'”
E ainda até de teus filhos, que procederem de ti, e que tu gerares, tomarão, para que sejam eunuchos no paço do rei de Babylonia.
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?”
Então disse Ezequias a Isaias: Boa é a palavra do Senhor que disseste. Disse mais: E pois não o seria? pois em meus dias haverá paz e verdade.
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?
Ora o mais dos successos de Ezequias, e todo o seu poder, e como fez a piscina e o aqueducto, e como fez vir a agua á cidade, porventura não está escripto no livro das chronicas dos reis de Judah?
21 Hezekiah slept with his ancestors, and Manasseh his son became king in his place.
E Ezequias dormiu com seus paes: e Manasseh, seu filho, reinou em seu logar.
