2 Kings 20
1 In those days Hezekiah was sick and dying. Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, “The LORD 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 he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the LORD, saying,
Katahi ka tahuri tona mata ki te pakitara, ka inoi ki a Ihowa, ka mea,
3 “Remember now, LORD, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
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 part of the city, the LORD’s word 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 tell Hezekiah the prince of my people, ‘The LORD, the God of David your father, says, “I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Behold, I will heal you. On the third day, you will go up to the LORD’s house.
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 to your days fifteen years. I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria. 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 Isaiah said, “Take a cake of figs.” They took and laid it on the 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 the LORD will heal me, and that I will go up to the LORD’s house 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 said, “This will be the sign to you from the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he has spoken: should 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 a light thing for the shadow to go forward ten steps. No, but let the shadow return 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 Isaiah the prophet cried to the LORD; and he brought the shadow ten steps backward, by which it had gone down on the sundial 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 Berodach Baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present 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 them, and showed them all the storehouse of his precious things—the silver, the gold, the spices, and the precious oil, and the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, or in all his dominion, that Hezekiah didn’t 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 said to him, “What did these men say? From where did they come to you?” Hezekiah said, “They have come from a far country, even from 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 He said, “What have they seen in your house?” Hezekiah answered, “They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing amongst my treasures 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 Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the LORD’s word.
Na ka mea a Ihaia ki a Hetekia, Whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa.
17 ‘Behold, the days come that all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have laid up in store to this day, will be carried to Babylon. Nothing will be left,’ says the LORD.
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 ‘They will take away some of your sons who will issue from you, whom you will father; and they will be 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 LORD’s word which you have spoken is good.” He said moreover, “Isn’t it so, if peace and truth will be 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 Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made the pool, and the conduit, and brought water into the city, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles 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 fathers, and Manasseh his son reigned in his place.
Na ka moe a Hetekia ki ona matua, a ko tana tama, ko Manahi, te kingi i muri i a ia.
