< 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, Hezekiah was sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz, came and said to him: “Thus says the Lord God: Instruct your house, for you will die, and not live.”
2 Nampitolihe’e mb’an-drindriñe ty añ’ambone’e, vaho nihalaly amy Iehovà ami’ty hoe.
And he turned his face to the wall, and he 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.
“I beg you, O Lord, I beseech you, remember how I have walked before you in truth, and with a perfect heart, and how I have done what is pleasing before you.” And then Hezekiah 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 before Isaiah departed from the middle part of the atrium, 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.
“Return and tell Hezekiah, the leader of my people: Thus says the Lord, the God of your father David: I have heard your prayer, and I have seen your tears. And behold, I have healed you. On the third day, you shall ascend to the temple 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 fifteen years to your days. Then too, I will free you and this city from the hand of the king of the Assyrians. And I will protect this city for my own sake, and for the sake of my servant David.”
7 Le hoe t’Iesaià, Angalao garaton-tsakoa. Aa le nangalake le nabatra’ iereo amy honay le nisotrake re.
And Isaiah said, “Bring me a mass of figs.” And when they had brought it, and they had placed it on his sore, he was healed.
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?
But Hezekiah had said to Isaiah, “What will be the sign that the Lord will heal me, and that I will ascend to the temple 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 Isaiah said to him: “This will be the sign from the Lord, that the Lord will do the word that he has spoken: Do you wish that the shadow may ascend ten lines, or that it may turn back for the same number of degrees?”
10 Le hoe ty natoi’ i Kezkià, Raha maivañe ty hizotsoa’ i talinjoy fange’e folo: Aiy! ampibaliho fange folo i talinjoy.
And Hezekiah said: “It is easy for the shadow to increase for ten lines. And so I do not wish that this be done. Instead, let it turn back for ten degrees.”
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 so the prophet Isaiah called upon the Lord. And he led back the shadow, along the lines by which it had already descended on the sundial of Ahaz, in reverse for ten degrees.
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, Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, the king of the Babylonians, sent letters and gifts to Hezekiah. For he had heard that Hezekiah had been ill.
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.
Now Hezekiah rejoiced at their arrival, and so he revealed to them the house of aromatic spices, and the gold and silver, and the various pigments and ointments, and the house of his vessels, and all that he was able to have in his treasuries. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominions, that Hezekiah did not show to them.
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.
Then the prophet Isaiah came to king Hezekiah, and said to him: “What did these men say? And from where did they come to you?” And Hezekiah said to him, “They came to me from Babylon, from a far away land.”
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 responded, “What did they see in your house?” And Hezekiah said: “They saw all things whatsoever that are in my house. There is nothing in my treasuries that I did not show to them.”
16 Le hoe t’Iesaià amy Kezkià, Janjiño ty tsara’ Iehovà.
And so Isaiah said to Hezekiah: “Listen to 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 are coming when all that is in your house, and all that your fathers have stored up even to this day, will be carried away to Babylon. Nothing at all shall remain, says the Lord.
18 Le haneseañe añe o tariratse hiboak’ ama’oo, o hasama’oo, ho mpiatrak’ añ’ anjombam-panjaka’ i Bavele ao.
Then too, they will take from your sons, who will go forth from you, whom you will conceive. And they will be eunuchs in the palace 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?
Hezekiah said to Isaiah: “The word of the Lord, which you have spoken, is good. Let peace and truth be 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?
Now the rest of the words of Hezekiah, and all his strength, and how he made a pool, and an aqueduct, and how he brought waters into the city, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
21 Nitrao-piròtse aman-droae’e t’i Kezkià; nandimbe aze nifehe t’i Menasè, ana’e.
And Hezekiah slept with his fathers. And Manasseh, his son, reigned in his place.
