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 fell sick unto death; and there came to him Isaiah the son of Amoz the prophet, and said unto him, Thus hath said the Lord, Give thy charge to thy house; for thou shalt die, and not live.

2 Hisqiyaasis fuula isaa gara keenyan manaatti garagalfatee akkana jedhee Waaqayyoon kadhate;

Then did he turn his face to the wall, and prayed unto 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.

I beseech thee, O Lord, remember now that I have walked before thee in truth, and with an undivided heart, and have done what is good in thy eyes. And Hezekiah wept aloud.

4 Utuu Isaayyaas oobdii gara gidduu jiru sana keessaa hin baʼin dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara isaa dhufe;

And it came to pass, before Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that 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.

Return, and say to Hezekiah the ruler of my people, Thus hath said the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears; behold, I will heal thee: on the third day shalt thou go up unto 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.’”

And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and out of the hand of the king of Assyria will I deliver thee and this city; and I will shield this city for my own sake, and for the sake of David my servant.

7 Kana irratti Isaayyaas, “Maxinoo harbuu tolchaa” jedhe. Isaanis qopheessanii dhullaa isaa irra kaaʼaniif; innis ni fayye.

And Isaiah said, Fetch a lump of figs. And they fetched and laid it on the inflammation, and he recovered.

8 Hisqiyaasis, “Akka Waaqayyo na fayyisuu fi akka ani guyyaa sadaffaatti gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti ol baʼuuf maaltu mallattoo taʼa?” jedhee Isaayyaasin gaafate.

And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What sign shall there be that the Lord will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the Lord 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 said, This shall be unto thee the sign from the Lord, that the Lord will do the thing that he hath spoken: Shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?

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.

And Hezekiah said, It is a light thing for the shadow to go forward ten degrees: no; but let the shadow return backward ten degrees.

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.

And Isaiah the prophet called unto the Lord; and he caused the shadow to return, by the degrees which the [sun] was gone down on the dial of Achaz, backward, ten degrees.

12 Yeroo sanatti Meroodak Baladaan ilmi Baladaan mootiin Baabilon sababii akka Hisqiyaas dhukkubsate dhagaʼeef xalayootaa fi kennaa ergeef.

And at that time sent Berodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, the king of Babylon, letters and a present unto Hezekiah; for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.

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 listened unto them, and showed them the whole of his treasure-house, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil, and the whole of his armor-house, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing that Hezekiah showed them not, in his house and in all his dominion.

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 came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What did these men say? and whence did they come unto thee? And Hezekiah said, From a far off country are they come, 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.

And he said, What did they see in thy house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in my house have they seen: there was nothing that I did not show them in my treasures.

16 Isaayyaasis kana irratti Hisqiyaasiin akkana jedhe; “Dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼi:

And Isaiah said unto 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.

Behold, days are coming, when all that is in thy house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith 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 of thy sons that will issue from thee, whom thou wilt beget, shall they take; and they shall be court-servants 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.

Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord which thou hast spoken. And he said, Is it not so, if there be peace and stability in my days?

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?

And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his mighty deeds, and how he made the pool, and the aqueduct, and brought the water into the city, behold, they are 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 slept with his fathers: and Menasseh his son became king in his stead.
