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 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 Hezekaya tụgharịrị chee ihu ya nʼaja ụlọ, kpee ekpere nye Onyenwe anyị, sị,
Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to 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.
“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 Tupu Aịzaya esite nʼetiti ogige ụlọeze pụọ, okwu nke Onyenwe anyị rutere ya ntị, sị ya:
Before Isaiah had gone out into the middle part of the city, Yahweh’s word came to 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.
“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 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.’”
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 Mgbe ahụ, Aịzaya sịrị, “Kwadoonụ mmanụ fiig dị ọkụ.” Ha mere nke a, teekwasị ya nʼelu etuto ahụ, ahụ dịkwara ya mma.
Isaiah said, “Take a cake of figs.” They took and laid it on 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?”
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 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?”
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 Hezekaya zara sị, “Ọ dị mfe ka onyinyo gaa nʼihu nzọ ụkwụ iri. Ma mee ka onyinyo a laa azụ ihe nrigo iri.”
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 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.
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 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 the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to 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.
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 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 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 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.”
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 Mgbe ahụ, Aịzaya sịrị Hezekaya, “Gee ntị nụrụ okwu Onyenwe anyị.
Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear Yahweh’s word.
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.
‘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 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.”
‘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 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?”
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 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 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 Hezekaya sooro ndị nna nna ya dinaa nʼọnwụ. Manase nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and Manasseh his son reigned in his place.
