2 Kingi 20
1 I aua ra ka mate a Hetekai, whano marere, Na ka tae mai a Ihaia poropiti tama a Amoho ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Whakahaua iho tou whare; no te mea ka mate koe, kahore e ora.
In those days Hezekiah has been sick to death, and Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet comes to him and says to him, “Thus said YHWH: Give a charge to your house, for you are dying, and do not live.”
2 Katahi ka tahuri tona mata ki te pakitara, ka inoi ki a Ihowa, ka mea,
And he turns around his face to the wall, and prays to YHWH, saying,
3 Tena ra, e Ihowa, kia mahara ki oku haereerenga i tou aroaro i runga i te pono, i te ngakau tapatahi, ki taku meatanga i te pai ki tau titiro. Na tangi ana a Hetekia, nui atu te tangi.
“Ah, now, O YHWH, please remember how I have habitually walked before You in truth and with a perfect heart, and I have done that which [is] good in Your eyes”; and Hezekiah weeps [with] a great weeping.
4 Na kahore ano a Ihaia kia puta noa ki waenganui o te pa, kua puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a ia, kua mea,
And it comes to pass, [when] Isaiah has not [yet] gone out to the middle court, that the word of YHWH has been to him, saying,
5 Hoki atu, mea atu ki te rangatira o taku iwi, ki a Hetekia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Rawiri, o tou tupuna, Kua whakarangona tau inoi e ahau, a kua kite ahau i ou roimata: nana, me whakaora koe e ahau: hei te toru o nga ra ka haere ko e ki runga, ki te whare o Ihowa.
“Return, and you have said to Hezekiah, leader of My people, Thus said YHWH, God of your father David: I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tear, behold, I give healing to you. On the third day you go up to the house of YHWH;
6 Ka tapiritia ano e ahau ou ra ki nga tau kotahi tekau ma rima: a ka whakaorangia koe me tenei pa e ahau i te ringa o te kingi o Ahiria; a ka tiakina e ahau tenei pa, he whakaaro ki ahau ano, ki taku tangata hoki, ki a Rawiri.
and I have added fifteen years to your days, and I deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Asshur, and have covered over this city for My own sake, and for the sake of My servant David.”
7 I ki ano hoki a Ihaia, Tikina he papa piki. Na tikina ana e ratou, whakapakia ana ki te whewhe, na kua ora ia.
And Isaiah says, “Take a cake of figs”; and they take and lay [it] on the boil, and he revives.
8 Na ka mea a Hetekia ki a Ihaia, He aha te tohu moku ka whakaorangia ahau e Ihowa? moku ka haere i te toru o nga ra ki te whare o Ihowa?
And Hezekiah says to Isaiah, “What [is] the sign that YHWH gives healing to me, that I have gone up to the house of YHWH on the third day?”
9 Ano ra ko Ihaia, Ko te tohu tenei a Ihowa ki a koe, ka oti i a Ihowa tana kupu i korero ai ia: kia tekau ranei nga nekehanga e neke atu ai te atarangi; kia tekau ranei nga whakahokinga e hoki ai?
And Isaiah says, “This [is] the sign to you from YHWH, that YHWH does the thing that He has spoken—[will] the shadow have gone on ten degrees, or does it turn back ten degrees?”
10 Ano ra ko Hetekia, He mea noa iho kia tekau nga nekehanga e neke atu ai te atarangi; erangi kia tekau nga nekehanga e hoki ai te atarangi ki muri.
And Hezekiah says, “It has been light for the shadow to incline ten degrees; no, but let the shadow turn backward ten degrees.”
11 Katahi a Ihaia poropiti ka karanga ki a Ihowa, a whakahokia ana e ia te atarangi, tekau nga nekehanga, o nga nekehanga i heke iho ai i te whakaatu haora a Ahata.
And Isaiah the prophet calls to YHWH, and He brings back the shadow by the degrees that it had gone down in the degrees of Ahaz—backward ten degrees.
12 I taua wa ka tukua e Peroraka Pararana, tama a Pararana kingi o Papurona he pukapuka me tetahi hakari ki a Hetekia: no te mea i rongo ia i te mate a Hetekia.
At that time Berodach-Baladan son of Baladan, king of Babylon, has sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he heard that Hezekiah had been sick;
13 A i whakarongo a Hetekia ki a ratou, whakakitea ana e ia ki a ratou te whare katoa o ana mea papai, te hiriwa, te koura, nga kinaki kakara, te hinu utu nui, me te whare o ana mea mo te whawhai me nga mea katoa i rokohanga ki roto ki ona taonga: kahore tetahi mea o tona whare, o tona kingitanga katoa, i kore te whakakitea e Hetekia ki a ratou.
and Hezekiah listens to them, and shows them all the house of his treasury, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the good ointment, and all the house of his vessels, and all that has been found in his treasuries; there has not been a thing that Hezekiah has not showed them in his house and in all his dominion.
14 Katahi ka haere mai a Ihaia poropiti ki a Kingi Hetekia, ka mea ki mai hoki ratou ki a koe i hea? Ano ra ko Hetekia, i haere mai ratou i te whenua hoi, i Papurona.
And Isaiah the prophet comes to King Hezekiah and says to him, “What did these men say? And from where do they come to you?” And Hezekiah says, “They have come from a far-off land—from Babylon.”
15 Ano ra ko tera, He aha nga mea i kitea e ratou ki tou whare? Ka whakahokia e Hetekia, Kua kitea e ratou nga mea katoa i toku whare: kahore tetahi mea o oku taonga i kore te whakakitea e ahau ki a ratou.
And he says, “What did they see in your house?” And Hezekiah says, “They saw all that [is] in my house; there has not been a thing that I have not showed them among my treasures.”
16 Na ka mea a Ihaia ki a Hetekia, Whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa.
And Isaiah says to Hezekiah, “Hear a word of YHWH:
17 Nana, kei te haere mai nga ra e kawea ai nga mea katoa o tou whare, me nga mea kua rongoatia nei e ou matua taea noatia tenei ra, ki Papurona: e kore tetahi mea e mahue, e ai ta Ihowa.
Behold, days are coming, and all that [is] in your house, and [all] that your father has treasured up until this day, has been carried to Babylon; there is not a thing left, said YHWH;
18 A ka tangohia e ratou etahi o au tama e puta mai i roto i a koe, e whanau mau; a hei unaka ratou i roto i te whare o te kingi o Papurona.
and of your sons who go out from you, whom you beget, they take away, and they have been eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”
19 Ano ra ko Hetekia ki a Ihaia, He pai te kupu a Ihowa i korerotia mai na e koe. I mea ano hoki ia, Ehara oti i te pai ki te mau te rongo me te pono i oku ra?
And Hezekiah says to Isaiah, “The word of YHWH that you have spoken [is] good”; and he says, “Why not, if there is peace and truth in my days?”
20 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Hetekia me ana mahi toa katoa, me tana hanganga i te puna, i te awakeri, a whakaputaina ana e ia he wai ki te pa, kihai ianei ena i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Hura?
And the rest of the matters of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made the pool, and the conduit, and brings in the waters to the city, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
21 Na ka moe a Hetekia ki ona matua, a ko tana tama, ko Manahi, te kingi i muri i a ia.
And Hezekiah lies with his fathers, and his son Manasseh reigns in his stead.
