2 Bassekabaka 20
1 Mu biro ebyo Keezeekiya n’alwala n’abulako katono okufa. Nnabbi Isaaya mutabani wa Amozi n’agenda gy’ali n’amugamba nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti: Teekateeka ennyumba yo, kubanga ogenda kufa so togenda kuwona.”
About that time was Hezekiah sicke vnto death: and the Prophet Isaiah the sonne of Amoz came to him, and said vnto him, Thus saith the Lord, Put thine house in an order: for thou shalt die, and not liue.
2 Keezeekiya ne yeekyusa n’atunuulira ekisenge, ne yeegayirira Mukama ng’agamba nti,
Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying,
3 “Jjukira, Ayi Mukama Katonda, nga bwe ntambulidde mu maaso go mu bwesigwa n’omutima ogutuukiridde, era ne nkola ebirungi mu maaso go.” Keezeekiya n’akaaba nnyo.
I beseech thee, O Lord, remember nowe, howe I haue walked before thee in trueth and with a perfite heart, and haue done that which is good in thy sight: and Hezekiah wept sore.
4 Awo Isaaya bwe yali nga tannava mu luggya olwa wakati, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kimujjira nti,
And afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle of the court, the worde of the Lord came to him, saying,
5 “Ddayo ogambe Keezeekiya omukulembeze w’abantu bange nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama, Katonda wa jjajjaawo Dawudi nti: Mpulidde okusaba kwo, era n’amaziga go ngalabye. Nzija kukuwonya. Oluvannyuma lw’ennaku ssatu onooyambuka n’olaga mu yeekaalu ya Mukama.
Turne againe, and tell Hezekiah the captaine of my people, Thus saith the Lord God of Dauid thy father, I haue heard thy prayer, and seene thy teares: behold, I haue healed thee, and ye third day thou shalt go vp to ye house of ye Lord,
6 Ndikwongerako emyaka emirala kkumi n’ettaano, era laba ndikulokola ggwe n’ekibuga kino mu mukono gwa kabaka w’e Bwasuli, nga nnwanirira ekibuga kino ku lwange nze ne ku lw’omuddu wange Dawudi.’”
And I wil adde vnto thy dayes fiftene yere, and wil deliuer thee and this citie out of the hand of the King of Asshur, and will defende this citie for mine owne sake, and for Dauid my seruats sake.
7 Awo Isaaya n’alagira baleete ekitole ky’ettiini, ne bakisiiga ku jjute, Keezeekiya n’awona.
Then Isaiah sayde, Take a lumpe of dry figges. And they tooke it, and layed it on the boyle, and he recouered.
8 Keezeekiya yali abuuzizza Isaaya nti, “Kabonero ki akalindaga nti Mukama amponyezza, era nti ndyambuka mu yeekaalu ya Mukama nga wayiseewo ennaku ssatu?”
For Hezekiah had saide vnto Isaiah, What shalbe the signe that the Lord will heale me, and that I shall goe vp into the house of the Lord the thirde day?
9 Isaaya n’addamu nti, “Kano ke kaliba akabonero gy’oli okuva eri Mukama nti ajja kutuukiriza kye yasuubiza: ekisiikirize kinaatambula mu maaso amadaala kkumi, oba kinaaddayo emabega amadaala kkumi?”
And Isaiah answered, This signe shalt thou haue of the Lord, that the Lord will doe that he hath spoken, Wilt thou that the shadowe goe forwarde ten degrees, or go backe ten degrees?
10 Keezeekiya n’addamu nti, “Kintu kyangu nnyo ekisiikirize okugenda mu maaso amadaala kkumi, Noolwekyo kiddeyo emabega amadaala kkumi.”
And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadowe to passe forward ten degrees: not so then, but let ye shadow go backe ten degrees.
11 Awo Isaaya n’akoowoola erinnya lya Mukama, era Mukama n’azzaayo ekisiikirize emabega amadaala kkumi okuva ne we kyali ku madaala ga Akazi.
And Isaiah the Prophet called vnto the Lord, and he brought againe the shadowe ten degrees backe by the degrees whereby it had gone downe in the diall of Ahaz.
12 Mu biro ebyo Berodakubaladani mutabani wa Baladani kabaka w’e Babulooni n’aweereza Keezeekiya ebbaluwa n’ekirabo, kubanga yawulira nti Keezeekiya yali alwadde.
The same season Berodach Baladan the sonne of Baladan King of Babel, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah: for he had heard howe that Hezekiah was sicke.
13 Keezeekiya n’ayaniriza ababaka abaleeta ebbaluwa, n’abalambuza amawanika ge gonna omwali eby’omuwendo ebingi ng’effeeza, ne zaabu, n’ebyakaloosa n’amafuta ag’omuwendo omungi. Yabalambuza ennyumba omwali ebyokulwanyisa, n’eby’omuwendo ebirala ebyali mu mawanika ge. Tewali kintu mu lubiri wadde mu bwakabaka bwe bwonna Keezeekiya ky’ataabalaga.
And Hezekiah heard them, and shewed them all his treasure house, to wit, the siluer, and the golde, and the spices, and the precious oyntment, and all the house of his armour, and al that was founde in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, and in all his realme, that Hezekiah shewed them not.
14 Awo nnabbi Isaaya n’agenda eri Kabaka Keezeekiya n’amubuuza nti, “Abasajja abo bagambye ki era bavudde wa?” Keezeekiya n’addamu nti, “Bavudde mu nsi ey’ewala mu Babulooni.”
Then Isaiah the Prophet came vnto King Hezekiah, and saide vnto him, What saide these men? and from whence came they to thee? And Hezekiah said, They be come from a farre countrey, euen from Babel.
15 Nnabbi n’amubuuza nti, “Balabye ki mu lubiri lwo?” N’addamu nti, “Balabye buli kintu mu lubiri lwange, tewali na kimu ku by’omu mawanika gange kye nabakwese.”
Then saide he, What haue they seene in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in mine house haue they seene: there is nothing among my treasures, that I haue not shewed the.
16 Isaaya n’agamba Keezeekiya nti, “Wuliriza Mukama Katonda ky’agamba:
And Isaiah said vnto Hezekiah, Heare the worde of the Lord.
17 Laba, ekiseera kijja byonna ebiri mu lubiri lwo, ne byonna bajjajjaabo bye baatereka, lwe biritwalibwa e Babulooni. Tewaliba kintu ekirisigalawo,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
Beholde, the dayes come, that all that is in thine house, and what so euer thy fathers haue layed vp in store vnto this day, shall be caryed into Babel: Nothing shall be left, saith the Lord.
18 “Era abamu ku bazzukulu bo, ab’omubiri gwo n’omusaayi gwo, abaliba bakuzaaliddwa balitwalibwa mu busibe, era baliba balaawe mu lubiri lwa kabaka w’e Babulooni.”
And of thy sonnes, that shall proceede out of thee, and which thou shalt beget, shall they take away, and they shalbe eunuches in the palace of the King of Babel.
19 Keezeekiya n’addamu nti, “Ekigambo kya Mukama ekyo ky’oyogedde kirungi.” Yalowooza mu mutima gwe nti, “Kasita, emirembe n’obutebenkevu binaabeerangawo mu mirembe gyange.”
Then Hezekiah said vnto Isaiah, The word of the Lord which thou hast spoken, is good: for saide he, Shall it not be good, if peace and trueth be in my dayes?
20 Ebirala byonna ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Keezeekiya n’ebyobuzira bye byonna, ne bwe yakola ekidiba n’omudumu omunene ebyaleetanga amazzi mu kibuga, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo ky’ebyafaayo eky’ebyomumirembe bya bassekabaka ba Yuda?
Concerning the rest of the actes of Hezekiah, and all his valiant deedes, and howe he made a poole and a cundite, and brought water into the citie, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah?
21 Keezeekiya n’afa, mutabani we Manase n’amusikira okuba kabaka.
And Hezekiah slept with his fathers: and Manasseh his sonne reigned in his steade.
