< 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.
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.'”
2 Alaila haliu ae la ia i kona maka ma ka paia, a pule aku la ia Iehova, i aku la,
Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to Yahweh, saying,
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.
“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.
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,
Before Isaiah had gone out into the middle courtyard, the word of Yahweh came to him, saying,
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.
“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.
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 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.”'”
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 said, “Take a lump of figs.” They did so and put it on his boil, and he recovered.
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?
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?”
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, “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?”
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 answered, “It is an easy thing for the shadow to go forward ten steps. No, let the shadow go backward ten steps.”
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 the prophet cried out to Yahweh, and he brought the shadow ten steps backward, from where it had moved on the stairway of 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 Marduk-Baladan son of Baladan king of Babylon sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah, for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.
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.
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.
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 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.”
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 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.”
16 I mai la o Isaia la Hezekia, E hoolohe oe i ka olelo a Iehova.
So Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Listen to the word of Yahweh:
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.
'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.
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.
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.'”
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 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?”
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?
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?
21 A hiamoe iho la o Hezekia me kona poe kupuna: a noho alii iho la o Manase kana keiki ma kona hakahaka.
Hezekiah slept with his ancestors, and Manasseh his son became king in his place.
