2 Mootota 20
1 Bara sana keessa Hisqiyaas dhukkubsatee duʼuu gaʼee ture. Isaayyaas ilmi Amoos raajichi gara isaa dhaqee, “Waaqayyo akkana jedha; ‘Mana kee tottolfadhu; ati ni duuta malee hin fayyituutii’” jedheen.
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 Hisqiyaasis fuula isaa gara keenyan manaatti garagalfatee akkana jedhee Waaqayyoon kadhate;
Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD, saying,
3 “Yaa Waaqayyo, akka ani amanamummaa fi garaa tokkoon fuula kee dura jiraadhee waan fuula kee duratti gaarii taʼes hojjedhe yaadadhu.” Hisqiyaasis hiqqifatee ni booʼe.
“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 Utuu Isaayyaas oobdii gara gidduu jiru sana keessaa hin baʼin dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara isaa dhufe;
Before Isaiah had left the middle courtyard, the word of the LORD came to him, saying,
5 “Deebiʼii dhaqiitii akkana jedhii Hisqiyaas hoogganaa saba kootiitti himi; ‘Waaqayyo Waaqni abbaa kee Daawit akkana jedha: Ani kadhannaa kee dhagaʼeera; imimmaan kees argeera; ani sin fayyisa. Ati ammaa jalqabdee guyyaa sadaffaatti gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti ol baata.
“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 Ani umurii kee irratti waggaa kudha shan siifan dabala. Ani siʼii fi magaalaa kana harka mooticha Asooriitii nan baasa. Ani sababii kootii fi sababii garbicha koo Daawitiif jedhee magaalaa kana nan eega.’”
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 Kana irratti Isaayyaas, “Maxinoo harbuu tolchaa” jedhe. Isaanis qopheessanii dhullaa isaa irra kaaʼaniif; innis ni fayye.
Then Isaiah said, “Prepare a poultice of figs.” So they brought it and applied it to the boil, and Hezekiah recovered.
8 Hisqiyaasis, “Akka Waaqayyo na fayyisuu fi akka ani guyyaa sadaffaatti gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti ol baʼuuf maaltu mallattoo taʼa?” jedhee Isaayyaasin gaafate.
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 Isaayyaasis akkana jedhee deebise; “Akka Waaqayyo waan waadaa gale sana hojjetuuf mallattoon Waaqayyo siif kennu kunoo kanaa dha; gaaddidduun tokko tarkaanfii kudhan gara fuula duraatti haa deemuu moo yookaan tarkaanfii kudhan gara dugda duubaatti haa deebiʼuu?”
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 Hisqiyaas immoo, “Tarkaanfii kudhan gara fuula duraatti deemuun gaaddidduu tokkoof waan salphaa dha; qooda kanaa akka gaaddidduun sun tarkaanfii kudhan gara dugda duubaatti deebiʼu godhi” jedhe.
“It is easy for the shadow to lengthen ten steps,” answered Hezekiah, “but not for it to go back ten steps.”
11 Kana irratti Isaayyaas raajichi iyyee Waaqayyoon ni kadhate; Waaqayyos akka gaaddidduun sun tarkaanfii kudhan gulantaa Aahaaz irra gara fuula duraatti deemee ture sana irraa tarkaanfii kudhan gara dugda duubaatti deebiʼu godhe.
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 Yeroo sanatti Meroodak Baladaan ilmi Baladaan mootiin Baabilon sababii akka Hisqiyaas dhukkubsate dhagaʼeef xalayootaa fi kennaa ergeef.
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 Hisqiyaasis ergamoota sana simatee waan mankuusa isaa keessa ture hunda jechuunis meetii, warqee, urgooftuu fi zayitii qulqulluu akkasumas kuusaa miʼa lolaa isaa fi waan mankuusa isaa keessatti argamu hunda isaanitti argisiise. Wanni Hisqiyaas masaraa mootummaa isaa keessaa yookaan mootummaa isaa hunda keessaa isaanitti hin argisiisin tokko iyyuu hin turre.
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 Kana irratti Isaayyaas raajichi gara Hisqiyaas mootichaa dhaqee, “Namoonni sun maal jedhan? Isaan eessaa dhufan?” jedhee gaafate. Hisqiyaasis, “Isaan Baabilonii biyya fagoodhaa dhufan” jedhee deebise.
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 Raajichi, “Jarri masaraa mootummaa keetii keessatti maal argan?” jedhee gaafate. Hisqiyaas immoo, “Isaan waan masaraa mootummaa koo keessa jiru hunda argan. Wanni ani mankuusa koo keessaa isaanitti hin argisiisin tokko iyyuu hin jiru” jedheen.
“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 Isaayyaasis kana irratti Hisqiyaasiin akkana jedhe; “Dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼi:
Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the LORD:
17 Yeroon itti wanni masaraa mootummaa keetii keessa jiru hundii fi wanni abbootiin kee hamma harʼaatti kuusan hundinuu saamamee gara Baabilonitti geeffamu tokko dhugumaan ni dhufa. Wanni tokko iyyuu hin hafu, jedha Waaqayyo.
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 Sanyii kee keessaa namoonni tokko tokko, foonii fi dhiigni kee kanneen siif dhalatan boojiʼamanii masaraa mootummaa mooticha Baabilon keessatti xuʼaashiiwwan taʼu.”
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 Hisqiyaasis, “Dubbiin Waaqayyoo kan ati dubbatte kun gaarii dha” jedhee deebise. Inni, “Bara jireenya koo keessa nagaa fi tasgabbiin hin jiraatuu?” jedhee yaadee tureetii.
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 Wantoonni bara mootummaa Hisqiyaas keessa hojjetaman kanneen biraa, jabinni isaa hundii fi akki inni itti haroo fi ujummoo ittiin bishaan harkisanii gara magaalaatti fidan hojjetes kitaaba seenaa mootota Yihuudaa keessatti barreeffamaniiru mitii?
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 Hisqiyaasis abbootii isaa wajjin boqote. Ilmi isaa Minaaseen iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
And Hezekiah rested with his fathers, and his son Manasseh reigned in his place.
