2 Kongebok 20
1 I dei dagarne lagdest Hizkia i helsott; då kom profeten Jesaja Amosson til honom og sagde med honom: «So segjer Herren; «Skila for deg! for du skal døy; du vert ikkje god att.»»
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 Då snudde han seg mot veggen og bad til Herren:
And he turned his face to the wall, and he prayed to the Lord, saying:
3 «Å Herre, kom i hug kor eg hev ferdast ærleg og heilhjarta for di åsyn og gjort det som godt var i dine augo!» Og Hizkia sette i og storgret.
“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 Fyrr Jesaja var nådd ut or den indre byen, kom Herrens ord til honom soleis:
And before Isaiah departed from the middle part of the atrium, the word of the Lord came to him, saying:
5 «Gakk inn att, og seg til Hizkia, fyrsten yver folket mitt: «So segjer Herren, Gud åt David, far din: Eg hev høyrt bøni di, og set tårorne dine. Sjå, eg gjer deg god att; i yvermorgon skal du ganga upp til Herrens hus.
“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 Eg aukar alderen din med femtan år. Or handi åt assyrarkongen bergar eg deg og denne byen. Ja, denne byen vernar eg for mi skuld og for David skuld, tenaren min.»»
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 Då sagde Jesaja: «Henta ei fikekaka!» Dei so gjorde, og lagde henne på verken. Og han friskna til att.
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 Hizkia sagde til Jesaja: «Kva skal eg hava til merke på at Herren gjer meg god att, so eg i yvermorgon kann ganga upp til Herrens hus?»
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 Jesaja svara: «Dette gjev Herren deg til merke på at Herren held det han lovar: Skal skuggen ganga ti strik fram, eller skal han no ganga ti strik attende?»
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 Hizkia svara: «Lett er det for skuggen å tøygja seg ti strik fram; nei, lat skuggen ganga attende ti strik!»
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 Profeten Jesaja ropa til Herren, og han let skuggen på solskiva åt Ahaz ganga attlenges dei ti striki som han nett hadde gjenge fram.
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 Kring den tid sende Babel-kongen Berodak Baladan Baladansson brev og gåva til Hizkia; for han hadde spurt at Hizkia hadde vore sjuk.
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 Då Hizkia hadde høyrt på deim, synte han deim heile forrådshuset sitt, sylvet og gullet, og angande kryddor og kosteleg olje, og våpnhuset alt som fanst i skattkammeri hans; det fanst ikkje den ting i hans hus og i heile hans rike som ikkje Hizkia synte deim.
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 Då kom profeten Jesaja til kong Hizkia og spurde honom: «Kva hev desse mennerne sagt, og kvar helst kom dei frå til deg?» Hizkia svara: «Frå eit land langt burte, frå Babel kom dei.»
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 «Kva hev dei set i huset ditt?» spurde han. «Alt som i huset mitt finst, hev dei set, » svara Hizkia; «det fanst ikkje den ting i skattkammeri mine som eg ikkje synte deim.»
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 Då sagde Jesaja til Hizkia: «Høyr Herrens ord!
And so Isaiah said to Hezekiah: “Listen to the word of the Lord.
17 Dagar kjem då alt som finst i huset ditt, det federne dine hev samla alt til i dag, det skal verta ført til Babel; aldri ein grand skal verta att, segjer Herren.
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 Og sume av sønerne dine, ætta frå deg, utstokne frå deg, skal takast, og dei skal verta hirdmenner i slottet åt Babel-kongen.»
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 Hizkia svara Jesaja: «Godt er Herrens ord som du hev tala.» Han tenkte: «Berre det vert fred og trygd so lenge eg liver!»
Hezekiah said to Isaiah: “The word of the Lord, which you have spoken, is good. Let peace and truth be in my days.”
20 Det som elles er å fortelja um Hizkia og alle hans storverk, kor han bygde dammen og vatsleidingi, og førde vatnet til byen, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Juda-kongarne.
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 Hizkia lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine, og Manasse, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
And Hezekiah slept with his fathers. And Manasseh, his son, reigned in his place.
