< 2 Kings 20 >
1 In tho daies Ezechie was sijk `til to the deeth; and Isaie, the prophete, sone of Amos, cam to hym, and seide to hym, The Lord God seith these thingis, Comaunde to thin hows, for thou schalt die, and thou schalt not lyue.
Katika siku hizo Hezekia aliugua akawa kwenye hatari ya kufa. Hivyo Isaya mwana wa Amozi, akaja, na kumwambia, “Yahwe asema, 'Weka nyumba yako kwenye mpangilio; kwa kuwa utakufa, na hutapona.'”
2 Which Ezechie turnyde his face to the wal, and worschipide the Lord,
Kisha Ahazi akageuza uso wake kwenye ukuta na kumuomba Yahwe, akisema,
3 and seide, Y biseche, Lord, haue mynde, hou Y yede bifor thee in treuthe, and in a parfit herte, and Y dide that, that was plesaunt bifor thee. Therfor Ezechie wepte bi greet wepyng.
“Tafadhali, Yahwe, ukumbuke jinsi nilivyo mwaminifu kutembea mbele yako kwa moyo wangu wote, na jinsi nilivyofanya yaliyo mazuri usoni kwako.” Kisha Hezekia akalia kwa sauti.
4 And bifor that Ysaie yede out half the part of the court, the word of the Lord was maad to Isaie, and seide,
Kabla ya Isaya hajatoka nje kwenye mji wa kati, neno la Yahwe likamjia, kusema,
5 Turne thou ayen, and seie to Ezechie, duyk of my puple, The Lord God of Dauid, thi fadir, seith thes thingis, Y herde thi preiere, and Y siy thi teer, and, lo! Y heelide thee. In the thridde dai thou schalt stie in to the temple of the Lord,
'“Rudi, na umwambie Hezekia, kiongozi wa watu wangu, 'Hivi ndivyo Yahwe, Mungu wa Daudi babu yako, asemavyo: “Nimesikia maombi yako, na nimeyaona machozi yako. Nitakuponya katika siku ya tatu, na utapanda juu kwenye nyumba ya Yahwe.
6 and Y schal adde fiftene yeer to thi daies; but also Y schal delyuere thee and this citee fro the hond of the kyng of Assiriens, and Y schal defende this citee for me, and for Dauid, my seruaunt.
Nitakuongeza miaka kumi na tano ya maisha yako, na nitakulinda na huu mji kwa ajili yangu na kwa ajili ya mtumishi wangu."”'
7 And Ysaie seide, Brynge ye to me a gobet of figis. And whanne thei hadden brouyte it, and hadde putte on `his botche, he was heelid.
Hivyo Isaya akasema, “Chukueni mkate wa tini.” Walifanya hivyo na kuweka kwenye jipu lake, na akapona.
8 Forsothe Ezechie seide to Isaie, What schal be the signe, that the Lord schal heele me, and that in the thridde dai Y schal stie in to the temple of the Lord?
Hezekia akamwambia Isaya, “Je kutakuwa na alama gani ambayo Yahwe ataniponya, na kwamba nitapanda juu hadi kwenye hekalu la Yahwe katika siku ya tatu?”
9 To whom Ysaie seide, This schal be `a signe of the Lord, that the Lord schal do the word which he spak; wolt thou, that the schadewe stie by ten lynes, ethir turne ayen bi so many degrees?
Isaya akajibu, “Hii ndiyo itakuwa ishara kwako kutoka kwa Yahwe, kwamba Yahwe atafanya kitu amacho alichokisema. Je kivuli kitaenda mbele hatua saba, au kurudi nyuma hatua saba?”
10 And Ezechie seide, It is esy that the schadewe encreesse bi ten lynes, nethir Y wole that this be doon, but that it turne ayen bacward bi ten degrees.
Hezekia akajibu, “Ni kitu chepesi kwa kivuli kwenda mbele hatua kumi. Hapana, hicho kivuli kirudi nyuma hatua kumi.”
11 Therfor Ysaie, the prophete, clepide inwardli the Lord, and brouyte ayen bacward bi ten degrees the schadewe bi lynes, bi whiche it hadde go doun thanne in the orologie of Achaz.
Hivyo Isaya nabii akamlilia Yahwe, na akaleta kivuli hatua kumi nyuma, kutoka pale ambapo zilikuwa zimevuka kwenye ngazi za Ahazi.
12 In that tyme Beradacbaladan, sone of Baladam, the kyng of Babiloyne, sente lettris and yiftis to Ezechie; for he hadde herd that Ezechie was sijk, and hadde couerid.
Katika kipindi hicho Merodak Baladani mfalme wa Babeli alituma barua na zawadi kwa Hezekia, kwa kuwa alisikia kwamba Hezekia alikuwa anaumwa.
13 Forsothe Ezechie was glad in the comyng of hem, and he schewide to hem the hows of spyceries, and gold, and siluer, and dyuerse pymentis, also oynementis, and the hows of hise vessels, and alle thingis whiche he myyte haue in hise tresouris; `no word was, `which Ezechie schewide not to hem in his hows, and in al his power.
Hezekia akasikiliza hizo barua, na kisha kuwaonyesha wajumbe sehemu zote na sehemu zake za thamani, fedha, dhahabu, manukato na marhamu na nyumba yenye ghala la silaha zake, na yote yaliyokutwa kwenye ghala za nyumba zake. Hapakuwa na kitu kwenye nyumba, wala kwenye ufalme wake wote, ambao Hezekia hakuwaonyesha.
14 Sotheli Ysaie, the prophete, cam to the kyng Ezechie, and seide to hym, What seiden these men, ether fro whennus camen thei to the? To whom Ezechie seide, Thei camen to me fro a fer lond, fro Babiloyne.
Kisha Isaya akaja kwa Hezekia na kumuuliza, “Hawa watu walikuwa wanakwambiaje? Wanatokea wapi?” Hezekia aksema, “Wamekuja kutoka nchi ya mbali ya Babeli.
15 And he answeride, What `sien thei in thin hows? Ezechie seide, Thei sien alle thingis, what euer thingis ben in myn hows; no thing is in my tresouris, which Y schewide not to hem.
Isaya akauliza, “Wameona nini kwenye nyumba yako?” Hezekia akajibu, “Wameona kila kitu kwenye nyumba yangu. Hakuna kitu miongoni mwa vitu vyangu vya thamani ambavyo sijawaonyesha.”
16 Therfor Isaie seide to Ezechie, Here thou the word of the Lord.
Basi Isaya akamwambia Hezekia, “Sikiliza neno la Yahwe:
17 Lo! dayes comen, and alle thingis that ben in thin hows, and `whiche thingis thi fadris maden til in to this dai, schulen be takun awey into Babiloyne; `not ony thing schal dwelle, seith the Lord.
'Tazama siku zinakuja wakati kila kitu kwenye kwenye nyumba yako ya kifalme, vitu ambavyo babu zako walivitunza huko hadi leo, vitabebwa kwenda Babeli. Hakuna kitakachobakia, Yahwe asema.
18 But also of thi sones, that schulen go out of thee, whiche thou schalt gendere, schulen be takun, and thei schulen be geldyngis in the paleis of the king of Babiloyne.
Watoto waliozaliwa na wewe, ambao umewazaa wewe mwenyewe-watawachukua mbali, na watakuwa matowashi kwenye nyumba ya kifalme ya mfalme wa Babeli.'”
19 Ezechie seide to Isaie, The word of the Lord, `which he spak, is good; ooneli pees and treuthe be in my daies.
Hezekia akamwambia Isaya, “neno la Yahwe uliloliongea ni jema.” Kwa kuwa alifikiri, Je sivyo ikiwapo amani na kweli katika siku zangu?”
20 Forsothe the residue of wordis of Ezechie, and al his strengthe, and hou he made a cisterne, and a watir cundijt, and brouyte watris, `in to the citee, whether these ben not writun in the book of wordis of daies of the kyngis of Juda?
Kama kwa mambo mengine yanamuhusu Hezekia, na ushujaa wake wote, na jinsi alivyotengeza bwawa la maji na mfereji, na kuleta maji kwenye mji-hayakuandikwa kwenye kitabu cha ya matukio ya wafalme wa Yuda?
21 And Ezechie slepte with hise fadris, and Manasses, his sone, regnyde for hym.
Hezekia akalala na babu zake, na Manase mwanae akawa mfalme katika sehemu yake.
