2 Ndị Eze 20
1 Nʼoge ahụ, Hezekaya rịara ọrịa ruo na ọ gaara anwụ. Aịzaya onye amụma nwa Emọz bịakwutere ya sị ya, “Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị sịrị, Dozie ezinaụlọ gị, nʼihi na ị ga-anwụ. Ị gaghị esite nʼute ọrịa a bilie.”
In those days, was Hezekiah sick, unto death, —and Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, came unto him, and said unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh Set in order thy house, for, about to die, thou, art, and shalt not recover.
2 Hezekaya tụgharịrị chee ihu ya nʼaja ụlọ, kpee ekpere nye Onyenwe anyị, sị,
Then he turned his face unto the wall, —and prayed unto Yahweh, saying:
3 “Chetakwa, Onyenwe anyị, otu m si jegharịa nʼihu gị nʼikwesị ntụkwasị obi, jiri obi m niile fee gị ofufe, ma meekwa ihe dị mma nʼanya gị.” Hezekaya bekwara akwa nke ukwuu.
I beseech thee, O Yahweh, remember, I pray thee, how I have walked before thee, in truth, and with a whole heart, and, that which is good in thine eyes, have I done! And Hezekiah wept aloud.
4 Tupu Aịzaya esite nʼetiti ogige ụlọeze pụọ, okwu nke Onyenwe anyị rutere ya ntị, sị ya:
And it came to pass that Isaiah, had not gone out into the middle court, when the word of Yahweh came unto him, saying:
5 “Gaghachi azụ, gaa gwa Hezekaya, onye na-achị ndị m, ‘Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke nna gị Devid, kwuru: Anụla m ekpere gị, ahụkwala m anya mmiri akwa gị, aga m agwọ gị. Aga m eme ka ahụ dị gị ike nʼụbọchị nke atọ site taa, mgbe ahụ ị ga-aga nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị.
Return, and thou shalt say unto Hezekiah the leader of my people—Thus, saith Yahweh, God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears, —Behold me! about to heal thee, On the third day, shalt thou go up unto the house of Yahweh;
6 Aga m atụkwasị afọ iri na ise nʼụbọchị ndụ gị. Aga m anapụtakwa gị na obodo a site nʼaka eze Asịrịa. Aga m echebe obodo a nʼihi mụ onwe m, na nʼihi Devid, bụ ohu m.’”
And I will add unto thy days, fifteen years, and, out of the hand of the king of Assyria, will I deliver thee, and this city, —and will throw a covering over this city, for my own sake, and for the sake of David my servant.
7 Mgbe ahụ, Aịzaya sịrị, “Kwadoonụ mmanụ fiig dị ọkụ.” Ha mere nke a, teekwasị ya nʼelu etuto ahụ, ahụ dịkwara ya mma.
And Isaiah said—Take ye a cake of figs. So they took and laid it upon the boil, and he recovered,
8 Mgbe ahụ, Hezekaya jụrụ Aịzaya sị, “Gịnị ga-abụ ihe ịrịbama na Onyenwe anyị ga-agwọ m, na m ga-aga nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị nʼụbọchị nke atọ na-abịa nʼihu?”
Now Hezekiah had said unto Isaiah, What sign is there, that Yahweh will heal me, —and that I shall go up on the third day, to the house of Yahweh?
9 Aịzaya zara, “Nke a bụ ihe ama Onyenwe anyị nye gị na Onyenwe anyị ga-emezu ihe o kwere na nkwa. Ị chọrọ ka onyinyo a gaa nʼihu ihe nrigo iri, ka ọ bụ ka ọ laa azụ ihe nrigo iri?”
And Isaiah said, —This unto thee, is the sign from Yahweh, that Yahweh will do the thing which he hath spoken, The shadow hath gone forward ten steps, shall it return ten steps?
10 Hezekaya zara sị, “Ọ dị mfe ka onyinyo gaa nʼihu nzọ ụkwụ iri. Ma mee ka onyinyo a laa azụ ihe nrigo iri.”
And Hezekiah said—It is, a light thing, for the shadow, to decline ten steps, —Nay, but let the shadow go back ten steps.
11 Mgbe ahụ, Aịzaya, onye amụma rịọrọ Onyenwe anyị ka o meere Hezekaya nke a. Onyenwe anyị mekwara ka onyinyo laghachi azụ ihe nrigo iri dịka o si gbada nʼihe nrigo ụlọ Ehaz.
And Isaiah the prophet cried unto Yahweh, and he caused the shadow on the steps by which it had gone down on the steps of Ahaz to go back, ten steps.
12 Nʼoge ahụ, Merodak-Baladan, nwa Baladan, bụ eze Babilọn zigaara Hezekaya akwụkwọ ozi ekele na onyinye, nʼihi na ọ nụrụ na Hezekaya rịara ọrịa.
At that time, Berodach-baladan son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present, unto Hezekiah, —for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.
13 Hezekaya nabatara ndị ozi ahụ gosi ha ihe niile dị nʼụlọakụ ya, ọlaọcha, na ọlaedo, ụda dị iche iche na-esi isi ụtọ na ezigbo mmanụ oliv, ụlọ ebe ngwa agha ya niile dị, na ihe niile bụ akụ o nwere. Ọ dịghị ihe dị nʼụlọeze ya maọbụ nʼalaeze ya niile nke ọ na-egosighị ha.
And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and shewed them all his house of precious things—the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and his armoury, and all that was found among his treasures, —there was, nothing, that Hezekiah shewed them not, in his house or in all his dominion.
14 Mgbe ahụ, Aịzaya onye amụma jekwuru eze Hezekaya jụọ ya sị, “Gịnị ka ndị ikom ndị ahụ kwuru? Ebeekwa ka ha si bịakwute gị?” Hezekaya zara sị, “Ọ bụ nʼala dị anya ka ha si, ha si Babilọn.”
Then came Isaiah the prophet unto King Hezekiah, —and said unto him—What said these men, and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, From a land far off, came they—from Babylon.
15 Onye amụma jụrụ, “Gịnị ka ha hụrụ nʼụlọ gị?” Hezekaya zara sị, “Ihe niile nke dị nʼụlọ m ka ha hụrụ. Ọ dịghị ihe niile dị nʼụlọakụ m nke m na-egosighị ha.”
And he said—What have they seen in thy house? Then said Hezekiah—All that is in my house, have they seen, there was, nothing, that I shewed them not, among my treasures.
16 Mgbe ahụ, Aịzaya sịrị Hezekaya, “Gee ntị nụrụ okwu Onyenwe anyị.
Then said Isaiah unto Hezekiah, —Hear thou the word of Yahweh:
17 Lee, oge na-abịa mgbe a ga-eburu ihe niile dị nʼụlọeze gị, na ihe niile nke nna nna gị ha debere nʼụlọakụ ruo taa, buru ha bulaa Babilọn. Ọ dịkwaghị ihe ga-afọdụ, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
Lo! days are coming, when all that is in thine house, and that thy fathers have treasured up, unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon, —nothing shall be left, saith Yahweh;
18 A ga-ebupụ ụfọdụ nʼime ụmụ gị, ndị bụ ahụ na ọbara gị, ndị a ga-amụtara gị, buru ha pụọ nʼebe dị anya, ha ga-abụ ndị onozi nʼụlọeze nke eze Babilọn.”
and, of thy sons who shall issue from thee, whom thou shalt beget, shall they take away, —and they shall become eunuchs, in the palace of the king of Babylon.
19 Hezekaya zaghachiri, “Okwu Onyenwe anyị nke i kwuru dị mma.” Nʼihi na o chere nʼobi ya sị, “Ọ bụ na udo na nchekwa agaghị adị nʼoge ndụ m?”
And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah—Good, is the word of Yahweh, which thou hast spoken. And he said—Is it not, that, peace and stability, there shall be in my days?
20 Ma banyere ihe ndị ọzọ niile mere nʼoge ọchịchị Hezekaya, ọrụ niile ọ rụrụ, tinyere ọdọ mmiri o gwuru, na olulu ọwa mmiri na-aga o gwuru, nke o ji webata mmiri nʼime obodo, ọ bụ na e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe mere nʼoge ndị eze Juda?
Now, the rest of the story of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made a pool and an aqueduct, and brought water into the city, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
21 Hezekaya sooro ndị nna nna ya dinaa nʼọnwụ. Manase nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
So Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and, Manasseh his son, reigned, in his stead.
