2 Wa 20
1 Nan jou sa yo, Ézéchias te vin malad jis rive nan pòt lanmò. Epi Ésaïe, pwofèt la, fis a Amots la, te vin kote li e te di li: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, ‘Mete lakay ou an lòd; paske ou va mouri e ou p ap viv.’”
In those days Hezekiah was sick and dying. Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, “Yahweh says, ‘Set your house in order; for you will die, and not live.’”
2 Konsa, Ézéchias te vire figi li vè miray la pou te priye a SENYÈ a. Li te di:
Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to Yahweh, saying,
3 “Sonje koulye a, O SENYÈ a, mwen sipliye Ou, jan mwen te mache devan Ou anverite avèk tout kè m nan, ak jan mwen te fè sa ki bon nan zye Ou a.” Epi Ézéchias te kriye byen anmè.
“Remember now, Yahweh, 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.
4 Avan Ésaïe te sòti nan mitan vil a, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote li. Li te di:
Before Isaiah had gone out into the middle part of the city, Yahweh’s word came to him, saying,
5 “Retounen pale ak Ézéchias, dirijan pèp mwen an: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt ou a, David: “Mwen te tande lapriyè pa w la. Mwen te wè dlo ki sòti nan zye ou a. Men vwala, Mwen va geri ou. Nan twazyèm jou a, ou va monte lakay SENYÈ a.
“Turn back, and tell Hezekiah the prince of my people, ‘Yahweh, 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 Yahweh’s house.
6 Mwen va mete kenzan sou lavi ou e mwen va delivre ou avèk vil sa a soti nan men a wa Assyrie. Mwen va defann vil sa a pou koz pa Mwen ak pou koz David, sèvitè Mwen an.”’”
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.”’”
7 Konsa, Ésaïe te di: “Pran yon gato figye etranje.” Yo te pran l e te mete li sou apse a, e li te vin refè.
Isaiah said, “Take a cake of figs.” They took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.
8 Alò, Ézéchias te di a Ésaïe: “Ki sign ki va parèt ke SENYÈ a va geri mwen, e ke mwen va monte lakay SENYÈ a nan twazyèm jou a?”
Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “What will be the sign that Yahweh will heal me, and that I will go up to Yahweh’s house the third day?”
9 Ésaïe te di: “Sa va sign a ou menm soti nan SENYÈ a, ke SENYÈ a va fè bagay ke li te pale a: èske ou pito lonbraj la avanse dis pa, oswa fè bak dis pa?”
Isaiah said, “This will be the sign to you from Yahweh, that Yahweh will do the thing that he has spoken: should the shadow go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps?”
10 Alò, Ézéchias te reponn: “Li tèlman fasil pou lonbraj la avanse dis pa. Men non, kite li fè bak dis pa.”
Hezekiah answered, “It is a light thing for the shadow to go forward ten steps. No, but let the shadow return backward ten steps.”
11 Ésaïe, pwofèt la, te kriye a SENYÈ a, e Li te fè lonbraj la fè bak dis pa sou eskalye a sou sila li te avanse nan eskalye Achaz la.
Isaiah the prophet cried to Yahweh; and he brought the shadow ten steps backward, by which it had gone down on the sundial of Ahaz.
12 Nan tan sa a, Berodac-Baladan, fis a Baladan nan, wa Babylone nan, te voye lèt avèk yon kado bay Ézéchias, paske li te tande ke Ézéchias te konn malad.
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.
13 Ézéchias te koute yo e montre yo tout kay trezò li a, ajan avèk lò, epis avèk lwil presye, lakay boukliye li yo avèk tout sa ki te konn twouve nan trezò li yo. Pa t gen anyen lakay li ni nan tout wayòm li a ke li pa t montre yo.
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 armor, 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.
14 Alò, pwofèt la, Ésaïe, te vin kote Ézéchias. Li te mande li: “Kisa mesye sila yo te di e depi kibò yo sòti pou rive kote ou a?” Epi Ézéchias te di: “Yo sòti nan yon peyi lwen, nan Babylone.”
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.”
15 Li te di: “Kisa yo te wè lakay ou a?” Ézéchias te reponn: “Yo te wè tout sa ki lakay mwen an. Nanpwen anyen pami trezò mwen yo ke m pa t montre yo.”
He said, “What have they seen in your house?” Hezekiah answered, “They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.”
16 Konsa, Ésaïe te di a Ézéchias: “Tande pawòl SENYÈ a.
Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear Yahweh’s word.
17 ‘Veye byen, jou yo ap vini lè tout sa ki lakay ou avèk tout sa ke zansèt ou yo te mete an depo jis rive jou sa a va pote ale Babylone. Anyen p ap rete, pale SENYÈ a.
‘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 Yahweh.
18 Kèk nan fis ou yo ki va sòti nan ou menm, ke ou va fè, va retire ale; epi yo va devni ofisye nan palè a wa Babylone nan.’”
‘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.’”
19 Alò Ézéchias te di a Ésaïe: “Pawòl SENYÈ a ke ou te bay la bon.” Paske li te reflechi: “Èske se pa sa, si k ap gen lapè avèk verite nan jou mwen yo?”
Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “Yahweh’s word which you have spoken is good.” He said moreover, “Isn’t it so, if peace and truth will be in my days?”
20 Alò, tout lòt zèv a Ézéchias yo avèk tout pwisans li ak jan li te fè sous dlo a avèk kanal ki te mennen dlo a nan vil la, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik A Wa Juda Yo?
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?
21 Konsa, Ézéchias te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo e Manassé, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.
Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and Manasseh his son reigned in his place.
