2 Mpanjaka 20
1 Ary tamin’ izany andro izany dia narary saiky maty Hezekia. Ary Isaia mpaminany, zanak’ i Amoza, nankao aminy ka nilaza taminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Hafaro ny ankohonanao, fa ho faty ianao, fa tsy ho velona.
In those days Hezekiah became mortally ill. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz came to him and said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Put your house in order, for you are about to die; you will not recover.’”
2 Dia nitodika nankany amin’ ny rindrina izy ka nivavaka tamin’ i Jehovah hoe:
Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD, saying,
3 Jehovah ô, enga anie ka hotsarovanao ny nandehanako teo anatrehanao tamin’ ny fahamarinana sy tamin’ ny foko rehetra ary ny nanaovako izay tsara eo imasonao. Dia nitomany mafy dia mafy izy.
“Please, O LORD, remember how I have walked before You faithfully and with wholehearted devotion; I have done what was good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
4 Ary raha tsy mbola tafavoaka ny tanàna afovoany Isaia, dia tonga taminy ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
Before Isaiah had left the middle courtyard, the word of the LORD came to him, saying,
5 Miverena, ka lazao amin’ i Hezekia, mpanapaka ny oloko, hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitr’ i Davida rainao: Efa nohenoiko ny fitarainanao, ary efa hitako ny ranomasonao; indro, hahasitrana anao Aho, ka raha afaka ampitso dia hiakatra ho ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah ianao.
“Go back and tell Hezekiah the leader of My people that this is what the LORD, the God of your father David, says: ‘I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. I will surely heal you. On the third day from now you will go up to the house of the LORD.
6 Ary hampiako dimy ambin’ ny folo taona ny andronao; sady hamonjy anao sy ity tanàna ity amin’ ny tanan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria Aho; ary hiaro ity tanàna ity Aho noho ny amin’ ny tenako sy Davida mpanompoko.
I will add fifteen years to your life. And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for My sake and for the sake of My servant David.’”
7 Ary hoy Isaia: Makà ampempan’ aviavy. Ary dia nalainy ka napetany tamin’ ny vay, dia sitrana izy.
Then Isaiah said, “Prepare a poultice of figs.” So they brought it and applied it to the boil, and Hezekiah recovered.
8 Ary hoy Hezekia tamin’ i Isaia: Inona no famantarana fa hositranin’ i Jehovah aho ka hiakatra any an-tranon’ i Jehovah raha afaka ampitso?
Now Hezekiah had asked Isaiah, “What will be the sign that the LORD will heal me and that I will go up to the house of the LORD on the third day?”
9 Dia hoy Isaia: Izao no famantarana ho anao avy amin’ i Jehovah hahalalanao fa Jehovah hanao izay zavatra nolazainy: handroso hàdiny folo va ny aloka, sa hiverina hàdiny folo?
And Isaiah had replied, “This will be a sign to you from the LORD that He will do what He has promised: Would you like the shadow to go forward ten steps, or back ten steps?”
10 Ary Hezekia namaly hoe: Mora foana ny handrosoan’ ny aloka hàdiny folo; tsy izany, fa aoka ny aloka hiverina hàdiny folo.
“It is easy for the shadow to lengthen ten steps,” answered Hezekiah, “but not for it to go back ten steps.”
11 Ary Isaia mpaminany nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah, ka nampiverina ny aloka hàdiny folo Jehovah, dia ilay nidinany teo amin’ ny dialin’ i Ahaza.
So Isaiah the prophet called out to the LORD, and He brought the shadow back the ten steps it had descended on the stairway of Ahaz.
12 Tamin’ izany andro izany no nampitondran’ i Berodaka baladana, zanak’ i Baladana, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, taratasy sy fanomezana ho an’ i Hezekia; fa efa reny fa narary izy.
At that time Merodach-baladan son of Baladan king of Babylon sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah, for he had heard about Hezekiah’s illness.
13 Ary Hezekia nandray azy ka naneho azy ny trano rehetra fitehirizany zava-tsoa, dia volafotsy sy volamena sy zava-manitra ary menaka tsara, sy ny trano fitehirizana ny fiadiany rehetra mbamin’ izay rehetra tao amin’ ny firaketany: tsy nisy zavatra tsy nasehon’ i Hezekia azy, na ny tao an-tranony, na ny tao amin’ ny fanjakany rehetra.
And Hezekiah received the envoys and showed them all that was in his treasure house—the silver, the gold, the spices, and the precious oil, as well as his armory—all that was found in his storehouses. There was nothing in his palace or in all his dominion that Hezekiah did not show them.
14 Dia nankany amin’ i Hezekia mpanjaka Isaia mpaminany ka nanao taminy hoe: Ahoana no nolazain’ ireo olona nankaty aminao ireo, ary avy taiza moa izy? Ary hoy Hezekia: Avy tany an-tany lavitra izy, dia avy tany Babylona.
Then the prophet Isaiah went to King Hezekiah and asked, “Where did those men come from, and what did they say to you?” “They came from a distant land,” Hezekiah replied, “from Babylon.”
15 Dia hoy izy: Ka inona avy anefa no hitany tato an-tranonao? Ary hoy Hezekia: Izay rehetra ato an-tranoko dia efa hitany avokoa: tsy misy zavatra tsy nasehoko azy ny ato amin’ ny firaketako rehetra.
“What have they seen in your palace?” Isaiah asked. “They have seen everything in my palace,” answered Hezekiah. “There is nothing among my treasures that I did not show them.”
16 Ary hoy Isaia tamin’ i Hezekia: Henoy ary ny tenin’ i Jehovah:
Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the LORD:
17 Indro, avy ny andro, ka ho entina ho any Babylona izay rehetra ao an-tranonao sy izay rehetra noharin’ ny razanao ka voarakitra mandraka androany; eny, tsy hisy sisa hijanona na inona na inona, hoy Jehovah.
The time will surely come when everything in your palace and all that your fathers have stored up until this day will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says the LORD.
18 Ary na dia ny terakao aza dia hisy ho entiny koa; ka ho tandonaka any amin’ ny lapan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona ireo.
And some of your descendants, your own flesh and blood, will be taken away to be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”
19 Dia hoy Hezekia tamin’ Isaia: Tsara ny tenin’ i Jehovah izay nolazainao. Ary hoy koa izy: Eny, tsy izany va, raha misy fiadanana amin’ ny androko ka handry fahizay?
But Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of the LORD that you have spoken is good.” For he thought, “Will there not at least be peace and security in my lifetime?”
20 Ary ny tantaran’ i Hezekia sisa sy ny heriny rehetra mbamin’ ny nanaovany ny kamory sy ny lakan-drano nitarihany rano ho ao an-tanàna, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda va izany?
As for the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, along with all his might and how he constructed the pool and the tunnel to bring water into the city, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
21 Ary Hezekia lasa nodimandry any amin’ ny razany; ary Manase zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy
And Hezekiah rested with his fathers, and his son Manasseh reigned in his place.
