Otra Ķēniņu 20
1 Tanī laikā Hizkija palika slims uz miršanu, un pravietis Jesaja, Amoca dēls, nāca pie viņa un uz to sacīja: tā saka Tas Kungs: apkopi savu namu, jo tu mirsi un nepaliksi vesels.
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 Tad Hizkija savu vaigu pagrieza pret sienu un pielūdza To Kungu un sacīja:
Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall and prayed,
3 Ak Kungs, piemini lūdzams, ka es Tavā priekšā esmu staigājis patiesībā no visas sirds un darījis, kas tev patīk. Un Hizkija gauži raudāja.
“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 Un kad Jesaja vēl nebija izgājis ne pusceļa caur pilsētu, tad Tā Kunga vārds uz viņu notika un sacīja:
Isaiah left the king, but before he had crossed the middle courtyard of the palace, Yahweh gave him a message
5 Ej atpakaļ un saki uz Hizkiju, Manas tautas valdnieku: tā saka Tas Kungs, tava tēva Dāvida Dievs: Es tavu lūgšanu esmu klausījis, Es tavas asaras esmu redzējis, redzi, Es tevi darīšu veselu, trešā dienā tu iesi Tā Kunga namā.
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 Un pie tavām dienām Es vēl pielikšu piecpadsmit gadus, un tevi un šo pilsētu Es izpestīšu no Asīrijas ķēniņa rokas un pasargāšu šo pilsētu Sevis labad un Sava kalpa Dāvida labad.
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 Un Jesaja sacīja: ņemiet vīģu rausi. Un tie to ņēma un uzlika uz to trumu, tad viņš palika vesels.
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 Un Hizkija sacīja uz Jesaju: kāda ir tā zīme, ka Tas Kungs mani darīs veselu, un ka es trešā dienā iešu Tā Kunga namā?
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 Un Jesaja sacīja: šī būs tā zīme no Tā Kunga, ka Tas Kungs šo lietu darīs, ko viņš runājis. Vai ēnai būs iet desmit kāpienus uz priekšu, vai desmit kāpienus atpakaļ?
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 Tad Hizkija sacīja: tas ir viegli, ēnai iet desmit kāpienus uz priekšu, - to ne, bet lai ēna iet desmit kāpienus atpakaļ.
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 Un pravietis Jesaja piesauca To Kungu, un Tas tai ēnai lika iet desmit kāpienus atpakaļ pa tiem pašiem kāpieniem, ko tā bija gājusi uz priekšu pie Ahaza saules stundeņa.
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 Tanī laikā Berodaks Baladans, Baladana dēls, Bābeles ķēniņš, sūtīja grāmatas un dāvanas pie Hizkijas, jo tas bija dzirdējis, ka Hizkija bijis slims.
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 Un Hizkija par tiem priecājās un tiem radīja visu savu mantas namu, sudrabu un zeltu un dārgās zāles un to smalko eļļu un visu savu bruņu namu un visu, kas viņa mantās bija; nekas nebija viņa namā un visā viņa valstī ko Hizkija tiem nebūtu rādījis.
[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 Tad pravietis Jesaja nāca pie ķēniņa Hizkijas un uz to sacīja: ko šie vīri sacījuši un no kurienes tie pie tevis nākuši? Un Hizkija sacīja: tie no tālas zemes atnākuši, no Bābeles.
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 Un tas sacīja: ko tie laba redzējuši tavā namā? Un Hizkija sacīja: tie visu redzējuši, kas manā namā; nekā nav no manām mantām, ko es tiem nebūtu rādījis.
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 Tad Jesaja sacīja uz Hizkiju: klausies Tā Kunga vārdu:
[Isaiah knew that Hezekiah had done a very foolish thing]. So Isaiah said to him, “Listen to what Yahweh says to you.
17 Redzi, dienas nāks, ka viss, kas ir tavā namā un ko tavi tēvi līdz šai dienai sakrājuši, taps novests uz Bābeli, nekas netaps atlicināts, saka Tas Kungs.
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 Un no taviem bērniem, kas no tevis nāks, ko tu dzemdināsi, taps ņemti, ka tie būs par kambarjunkuriem Bābeles ķēniņa pilī.
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 Un Hizkija sacīja uz Jesaju: Tā Kunga vārds ir labs, ko tu runājis. Un viņš sacīja: lai notiek, kad tikai miers un drošība pastāv manā laikā.
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 Un kas vēl par Hizkiju stāstāms, un viss viņa spēks, un ko viņš darījis, un par to dīķi un ūdens grāvi, un ka viņš ūdeni vadījis pilsētā, tas viss ir rakstīts Jūda ķēniņu laiku grāmatā.
[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 Un Hizkija aizmiga saviem tēviem pakaļ, un Manasus, viņa dēls, palika par ķēniņu viņa vietā.
Later Hezekiah died [EUP], and his son Manasseh became the king.
