II Na Lii 20
1 I A mau la he mai make ko Hezekia. A hele aku la o Isaia ke kaula, ke keiki a Amoza, io na la, i aku la ia ia, Peneia ka olelo a Iehova, E kauoha aku oe i ko ka hale ou, no ka mea, e make no oe, aole e ola.
About that time, Hezekiah became very ill. [He thought that he] was about to die. Isaiah the prophet came to him and said, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘You should tell the people in your palace what you want them to do after you die, because you are not going to recover from this illness. You are going to die.’”
2 Alaila haliu ae la ia i kona maka ma ka paia, a pule aku la ia Iehova, i aku la,
Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall and prayed,
3 Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e Iehova, ano e hoomanao mai oe i kuu hele ana imua ou me ka oiaio, a me ka naau kupono, a ua hana pono aku au imua o kou maka. Auwe nui iho la o Hezekia.
“Yahweh, do not forget that I have always served you faithfully, and I have done things that pleased you.” Then Hezekiah started to cry loudly.
4 A mamua o ka hiki ana'ku o Isaia iwaena konu o ke kulanakauhale, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia ia, i mai la,
Isaiah left the king, but before he had crossed the middle courtyard of the palace, Yahweh gave him a message
5 E hoi hou, a e olelo aku oe ia Hezekia, i ke alii o kuu poe kanaka, Penei ka olelo a Iehova ke Akua o Davida, o kou kupuna, Ua lohe au i kau pule, ua ike au i kou waimaka: owau no kou kahuna lapaau; i ke kolu o ka la e pii aku oe i ka hale o Iehova.
which said, “Go back to Hezekiah, the ruler of my people, and say to him, ‘I, Yahweh, the God whom your ancestor King David [worshiped], have heard what you prayed. And I have seen your tears. So, listen: I will heal you. Two days from now you will [be able to] go up to my temple.
6 A e hooloihi aku au i kou mau la i na makahiki he umikumamalima; a e hoopakele au ia oe a me keia kulanakauhale mailoko mai o ka lima o ke alii o Asuria; a e malama no au i keia kulanakauhale no'u, a no Davida ka'u kauwa.
I will enable you to live for 15 more years. And I will rescue you and this city again from the power [MTY] of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for the sake of my own reputation and because of what I promised King David, who served me [well].’”
7 I aku la o Isaia, e lawe i wahi pai fiku: a lawe lakou ia a kau maluna o ka mai hehe, a ola ia.
So Isaiah [returned to the palace and told Hezekiah what Yahweh had said. Then he] [to Hezekiah’s servants], “Bring a paste made of boiled figs. Put some of it on his boil, and he will get well.”
8 Ninau mai la o Hezekia ia Isaia, Heaha ka hoailona, e hoola mai ai o Iehova ia'u, a e pii aku ai au i ka hale o Iehova i ke kolu o ka la?
Then Hezekiah replied to Isaiah, “What will Yahweh do to prove that he will heal me and that two days from now I will be able to go up to the temple?”
9 I aku la o Isaia, Eia ka hoailona na Iehova mai nou, e hana mai ia i ka mea ana i olelo ai: E hele mamua anei ke aka i na degere he umi, a e hoi hope anei i na degere ho umi?
Isaiah replied, “Yahweh will do something that will prove to you that he will do what he promised. Do you want him to cause the shadow on the stairway/sundial to go back ten steps/degrees, or to go forward ten steps/degrees?”
10 I mai la ia, He mea uuku ke hele mamua ke aka i na degere he umi; aole ia, aka, e hoi ihope ke aka i na degere he umi.
Hezekiah replied, “It is easy to cause the shadow to move forward, [because that is what it always does]. Tell him to cause it to move backward ten steps/degrees.”
11 A kahea aku la o Isaia ia Iehova, a hoihoi aku ia i ke aka ihope, i na degere he umi, o na umi degere ana i iho ai ma ka mea hoike degere o Ahaza.
So Isaiah prayed earnestly to Yahweh, and Yahweh caused the shadow to go backward ten steps/degrees on the stairway/sundial that King Ahaz had made (OR, that workers had built for King Ahaz).
12 Ia manawa, o Merodakebaladana, ke keiki a Baladana, ke alii o Babulona, hoouna mai ia i na palapala a me ka makana ia Hezekia, no kona lohe, ua mai o Hezekia.
At that time, King Merodach-Baladan, the son of Baladan the [previous] King of Babylonia, heard a report that King Hezekiah had been very sick. So he wrote some letters and gave them to some messengers to take to Hezekiah, along with a gift.
13 A hoolohe no o Hezekia ia lakou, a hoike aku ia lakou i ko ka halepapaa a pau, i ke kala, i ke gula, a i na mea ala, a me ka aila ala, a mo ko ka hale a pau o kana mea kaua, a me na mea a pau i loaa ma kona waihonakala, aohe mea e koe iloko o kona hale, a maloko o kona aupuni a pau, ana i hoike ole ai ia lakou.
[When the messengers arrived], Hezekiah welcomed them gladly. Then he showed them everything that was in his (treasure houses/places where very valuable things were stored)—the silver and gold, the spices, the nice-smelling olive oil, and all the weapons [for his soldiers]. He showed them all the [valuable] things in his storerooms and everywhere else in his kingdom [HYP]; he showed them everything.
14 Alaila hele mai o Isaia ke kanla ia Hezekia ke alii, ninau mai ia ia, Heaha ka keia poe kanaka i olelo ai? a nohea lakou i hele mai nei i ou la? I aku la o Hezekia, No ka aina loihi aku lakou i hele mai nei, no Babulona.
Then the prophet Isaiah went to Hezekiah and asked him, “Where did those men come from, and what did they say to you?” Hezekiah replied, “They came from a country very far from here. They came from Babylonia.”
15 Ninau mai la kela, Heaha ka lakou i ike ai maloko o kou hale? I aku la o Hezekia, Ua ike lakou i na mea a pau, maloko o ko'u hale: aole he mea i koe ma ko'u waihonakala a'u i hoike ole ai ia lakou.
Isaiah asked, “What did they see in your palace?” Hezekiah replied, “They saw everything. I showed them absolutely everything that I own—all my valuable things.”
16 I mai la o Isaia la Hezekia, E hoolohe oe i ka olelo a Iehova.
[Isaiah knew that Hezekiah had done a very foolish thing]. So Isaiah said to him, “Listen to what Yahweh says to you.
17 Aia hoi, e hiki mai auanei na la e laweia'ku ai, ma Babulona, na mea a pau iloko o kou hale, a me na mea a kou poe kupuna i hoiliili ai, a hiki i keia la; aole e waihoia kekahi mea, wahi a Iehova.
There will be a time when everything that is still in your palace, all the valuable things that were put there by you and your ancestors, will be carried away to Babylon. There will be nothing left here! [That is what] Yahweh says [to you]
18 A e lawe aku lakou i kau poe keikikane e puka ana mai ou mai la, i na mea au e hoohanau ai, a e lilo lakou i poe luna i poaia ma ka halealii o ke alii o Babulona.
Furthermore, some of your own descendants will be forced to go there, and they will be castrated in order that they may become servants in the palace of the King of Babylon.”
19 I aku ia o Hezekia ia Isaia, Ua pono ka olelo a Iehova au i olelo mai nei. A i aku la hoi, Aole anei e mau ana ka malu i kuu mau la?
Then Hezekiah replied to Isaiah, “That message from Yahweh that you have given to me is good.” He said that because he was thinking, “Even if that happens, there will be peace and security [in Israel] all the rest of my life.”
20 A o na hana i koe a Hezekia, a me kona ikaika a pau, a me ka loko, a me ka auwai ana i hana'i, a hookahe i ka wai iloko o ke kulanakauhale, aole anei i kakauia lakou iloko o ka buke oihanaalii a na'lii o ka Iuda?
[If you want to know more about] [RHQ] all the other things that Hezekiah did, about his brave deeds in battle, about his ordering a reservoir to be built in the city and a tunnel [to be dug] to bring water into the reservoir, they are all written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
21 A hiamoe iho la o Hezekia me kona poe kupuna: a noho alii iho la o Manase kana keiki ma kona hakahaka.
Later Hezekiah died [EUP], and his son Manasseh became the king.
