2 Reis 20
1 N'aquelles dias adoeceu Ezequias de morte: e o propheta Isaias, filho d'Amós, veiu a elle, e lhe disse: Assim diz o Senhor: Ordena a tua casa, porque morrerás, e não viverás.
In those days Hezekiah was sick and dying. Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, “The LORD says, ‘Set your house in order; for you will die, and not live.’”
2 Então virou o rosto para a parede, e orou ao Senhor, dizendo:
Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the LORD, saying,
3 Ah, Senhor! Sê servido de te lembrar de que andei diante de ti em verdade, e com o coração perfeito, e fiz o que era recto aos teus olhos. E chorou Ezequias muitissimo.
“Remember now, LORD, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
4 Succedeu pois que, não havendo Isaias ainda saido do meio do pateo, veiu a elle a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
Before Isaiah had gone out into the middle part of the city, the LORD’s word came to him, saying,
5 Volta, e dize a Ezequias, chefe do meu povo: Assim diz o Senhor Deus de teu pae David: Ouvi a tua oração, e vi as tuas lagrimas; eis que eu te sararei; ao terceiro dia subirás á casa do Senhor.
“Turn back, and tell Hezekiah the prince of my people, ‘The LORD, the God of David your father, says, “I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Behold, I will heal you. On the third day, you will go up to the LORD’s house.
6 E accrescentarei aos teus dias quinze annos, e das mãos do rei d'Assyria te livrarei, a ti e a esta cidade; e ampararei esta cidade por amor de mim, e por amor de David, meu servo.
I will add to your days fifteen years. I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for my own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.”’”
7 Disse mais Isaias: Tomae uma pasta de figos. E a tomaram, e a pozeram sobre a chaga; e elle sarou.
Isaiah said, “Take a cake of figs.” They took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.
8 E Ezequias disse a Isaias: Qual é o signal de que o Senhor me sarará, e de que ao terceiro dia subirei á casa do Senhor?
Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “What will be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I will go up to the LORD’s house the third day?”
9 E disse Isaias: Isto te será signal, da parte do Senhor, de que o Senhor cumprirá a palavra que disse: Adiantar-se-ha a sombra dez graus, ou voltará dez graus atraz?
Isaiah said, “This will be the sign to you from the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he has spoken: should the shadow go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps?”
10 Então disse Ezequias: É facil que a sombra decline dez graus; não, mas volte a sombra dez graus atraz.
Hezekiah answered, “It is a light thing for the shadow to go forward ten steps. No, but let the shadow return backward ten steps.”
11 Então o propheta Isaias clamou ao Senhor; e fez voltar a sombra dez graus atraz, pelos graus que tinha declinado nos graus do relogio de sol d'Achaz.
Isaiah the prophet cried to the LORD; and he brought the shadow ten steps backward, by which it had gone down on the sundial of Ahaz.
12 N'aquelle tempo enviou Berodac Baladan, filho de Baladan, rei de Babylonia, cartas e um presente a Ezequias; porque ouvira que Ezequias tinha estado doente.
At that time Berodach Baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.
13 E Ezequias lhes deu ouvidos, e lhes mostrou toda a casa de seu thesouro, a prata, e o oiro, e as especiarias, e os melhores unguentos, e a sua casa d'armas, e tudo quanto se achou nos seus thesouros: coisa nenhuma houve que lhes não mostrasse, nem em sua casa, nem em todo o seu dominio.
Hezekiah listened to them, and showed them all the storehouse of his precious things—the silver, the gold, the spices, and the precious oil, and the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, or in all his dominion, that Hezekiah didn’t show them.
14 Então o propheta Isaias veiu ao rei Ezequias, e lhe disse: Que disseram aquelles homens, e d'onde vieram a ti? E disse Ezequias: De um paiz mui remoto vieram, de Babylonia.
Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah, and said to him, “What did these men say? From where did they come to you?” Hezekiah said, “They have come from a far country, even from Babylon.”
15 E disse elle: Que viram em tua casa? E disse Ezequias: Tudo quanto ha em minha casa viram: coisa nenhuma ha nos meus thesouros que eu lhes não mostrasse.
He said, “What have they seen in your house?” Hezekiah answered, “They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing amongst my treasures that I have not shown them.”
16 Então disse Isaias a Ezequias: Ouve a palavra do Senhor:
Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the LORD’s word.
17 Eis que veem dias em que tudo quanto houver em tua casa, e o que enthesouraram teus paes até ao dia de hoje, será levado a Babylonia: não ficará coisa alguma, disse o Senhor.
‘Behold, the days come that all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have laid up in store to this day, will be carried to Babylon. Nothing will be left,’ says the LORD.
18 E ainda até de teus filhos, que procederem de ti, e que tu gerares, tomarão, para que sejam eunuchos no paço do rei de Babylonia.
‘They will take away some of your sons who will issue from you, whom you will father; and they will be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.’”
19 Então disse Ezequias a Isaias: Boa é a palavra do Senhor que disseste. Disse mais: E pois não o seria? pois em meus dias haverá paz e verdade.
Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The LORD’s word which you have spoken is good.” He said moreover, “Isn’t it so, if peace and truth will be in my days?”
20 Ora o mais dos successos de Ezequias, e todo o seu poder, e como fez a piscina e o aqueducto, e como fez vir a agua á cidade, porventura não está escripto no livro das chronicas dos reis de Judah?
Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made the pool, and the conduit, and brought water into the city, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
21 E Ezequias dormiu com seus paes: e Manasseh, seu filho, reinou em seu logar.
Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and Manasseh his son reigned in his place.
