2 Mpanjaka 20
1 Ie amy andro rezay, natindry fa heta’e t’i Kezkià, le nimb’ ama’e mb’eo t’Iesaià, ana’ i Amotse, le nanoe’e ty hoe: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Hajario ty anjomba’o fa hihomake, tsy ho veloñe.
In those days was Ezekias sick [even] to death. And the prophet Esaias the son of Amos came in to him, and said to him, Thus says the Lord, Give charge to your household; [for] you shall die, and not live.
2 Nampitolihe’e mb’an-drindriñe ty añ’ambone’e, vaho nihalaly amy Iehovà ami’ty hoe.
And Ezekias turned to the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying,
3 Midrakadrakak’ ama’o ry Iehovà, tiahio hey t’ie nañavelo añ’ atrefa’o an-kavañonañe naho an-troke vantañe vaho nanao ty hasoa am-pivazohoa’o. Le nangololoike ty rovetse t’i Kezkià.
Lord, remember, I pray you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your eyes. And Ezekias wept with a great weeping.
4 Aa ie mbe tsy anteñateña’ i kiririsay t’Iesaià, le niheo ama’e ty tsara’ Iehovà, ami’ty hoe:
And Esaias was in the middle court, and the word of the Lord came to him, saying,
5 Mibaliha indraike le saontsio t’i Kezkià mpifehe ondatikoo, Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ i Davide rae’o, Tsinanoko i halali’oy, fa nitreako o ranom-pihaino’oo, inao te ho jangañeko, Mionjona mb’ añanjomba’ Iehovà mb’eo ami’ty andro fahatelo.
Turn back, and you shall say to Ezekias the ruler of my people, Thus says the Lord God of your father David, I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears: behold, I will heal you: on the third day you shall go up to the house of the Lord.
6 Le ho tovoñako taoñe folo-lime amby o andro’oo naho havotsoko am-pità’ i mpanjaka’ i Asorey, ihe naho ty rova toy, vaho harovako ho Ahy naho ho a i Davide, mpitorokoy, ty rova toy.
And I will add to your days fifteen years; and I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians, and I will defend this city for my own sake, and for my servant's David sake.
7 Le hoe t’Iesaià, Angalao garaton-tsakoa. Aa le nangalake le nabatra’ iereo amy honay le nisotrake re.
And he said, Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it upon the ulcer, and he shall be well.
8 Le hoe t’i Kezkià am’ Iesaià, Ino ty ho viloñe te hampijangañe ahy t’Iehovà, naho himoak’ añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao iraho te herone?
And Ezekias said to Esaias, What [is] the sign that the Lord will heal me, and I shall go up to the house of the Lord on the third day?
9 Le hoe t’Iesaià, Zao ty viloñe ho azo’o am’ Iehovà, te hanoe’ Iehovà i tsinara’ey: ke hionjo miaolo fange’e folo i talinjoy, he hibalike fange folo, akore?
And Esaias said, This [is] the sign from the Lord, that the Lord will perform the word which he has spoken, the shadow [of the dial] shall advance ten degrees: [or] if it should go back ten degrees [this would also be the sign].
10 Le hoe ty natoi’ i Kezkià, Raha maivañe ty hizotsoa’ i talinjoy fange’e folo: Aiy! ampibaliho fange folo i talinjoy.
And Ezekias said, [It is] a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return ten degrees backward on the dial.
11 Aa le kinanji’ Iesaià t’Iehovà, le nahere’e ami’ ty fange folo nizotsoa’e amy tarehem-pamatarañ’ andro i Ahkazeo i talinjoy.
And Esaias the prophet cried to the Lord: and the shadow returned back ten degrees on the dial.
12 Ie henane zay, nañitrike taratasy naho ravoravo amy Kezkià t’i Berodake-baladàne, ana’ i Baladane, mpanjaka’ i Bavele; fa jinanji’e te natindry t’i Kezkià.
At that time Marodach Baladan, son of Baladan king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Ezekias, because he had heard that Ezekias was sick.
13 Nihaoñe’ i Kezkià iereo, le fonga nitoroa’e o am-pañajam-bara’eo, o volafotio, naho o volamenao, naho o raha mafirio, naho o solike sarotseo naho i anjombam-pikalaña’ey, vaho ze nitendrek’ am-panontonam-bara’e ao; ndra loli’e amy anjomba’ey tsy napo’e, ndra amy fifehea’e iabiy, ze tsy natoro’ i Kezkià iareo.
And Ezekias rejoiced at them, and showed all the house of his spices, the silver and the gold, the spices, and the fine oil, and the armoury, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing which Ezekias did not show them in his house, and in all his dominion.
14 Pok’ amy mpanjakay amy zao t’Iesaià mpitoky, le nanoa’e ty hoe: Ino ty enta’ indaty rey, naho boak’ aia iereo te nivotrak’ ama’o? Le hoe t’i Kezkià, toe boake tsietoitane añe iereo, hirike Bavele ao.
And Esaias the prophet went in to king Ezekias, and said to him, What said these men? and whence came they to you? And Ezekias said, they came to me from a distant land, [even] from Babylon.
15 Le hoe re: Ino ty nioni’ iereo añ’anjomba’o ao? Le hoe ty natoi’ i Kezkià, Hene niisa’ iereo ze an-trañoko ao, tsy eo ty napoko tsy natoroko.
And he said, What saw they in your house? And he said, They saw all things that [are] in my house: there was nothing in my house which I showed not to them; yes, all that was in my treasures also.
16 Le hoe t’Iesaià amy Kezkià, Janjiño ty tsara’ Iehovà.
And Esaias said to Ezekias, Hear the word of the Lord:
17 Inao! ho avy ty andro te fonga hendeseñe mb’e Bavele mb’eo o añ’ anjomba’oo, naho ze vinandron-droae’o pak’ androany; tsy eo ty hapoke, hoe t’Iehovà.
Behold, the days come, that all things that are in your house shall be taken, and all that your fathers have treasured up until this day, to Babylon; and there shall not fail a word, which the Lord has spoken.
18 Le haneseañe añe o tariratse hiboak’ ama’oo, o hasama’oo, ho mpiatrak’ añ’ anjombam-panjaka’ i Bavele ao.
And as for your sons which shall come forth of you, which you shall beget, [the enemy] shall take them, and they shall be eunuchs in the house of the king of Babylon.
19 Le hoe t’i Kezkià am’ Iesaià, Soa i tsara’ Iehovà tinaro’oy. Ie natao’e ty hoe: Aa tsy ho soa izay! te fierañerañañe naho hatò ty ho amo androkoo?
And Ezekias said to Esaias, Good [is] the word of the Lord which he has spoken: [only] let there be peace in my days.
20 Aa naho o fitoloña’ i Kezkià ila’eo, i haozara’ey, vaho ie namboatse ty antara naho zoho nampom-ba’e rano mb’ an-drova ao; tsy misokitse amy bokem-pamoliliañe o mpanjaka’ Iehodaoy hao?
And the rest of the acts of Ezekias, and all his might, and all that he made, the fountain and the aqueduct, and [how] he brought water into the city, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
21 Nitrao-piròtse aman-droae’e t’i Kezkià; nandimbe aze nifehe t’i Menasè, ana’e.
And Ezekias slept with his fathers: and Manasses his son reigned in his stead.
