2 Reis 20

1 Naqueles dias caiu Ezequias enfermo de morte, e veio a ele Isaías profeta filho de Amoz, e disse-lhe: o SENHOR disse assim: Dá ordens à tua casa, porque hás de morrer, e não viverás.

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 Então virou ele seu rosto à parede, e orou ao SENHOR, e disse:

Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD, saying,

3 Rogo-te, ó SENHOR, rogo-te faças memória de que andei diante de ti em verdade e íntegro coração, e que fiz as coisas que te agradam. E chorou Ezequias com grande choro.

“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 E antes que Isaías saísse até a metade do pátio, veio a palavra do SENHOR a Isaías, dizendo:

Before Isaiah had left the middle courtyard, the word of the LORD came to him, saying,

5 Volta, e dize a Ezequias, príncipe de meu povo: Assim diz o SENHOR, o Deus de Davi teu pai: Eu ouvi tua oração, e vi tuas lágrimas: eis que eu te saro; ao terceiro dia subirás à casa do SENHOR.

“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 E acrescentarei a teus dias quinze anos, e te livrarei a ti e a esta cidade da mão do rei da Assíria; e ampararei esta cidade por causa de mim, e por causa de Davi meu servo.

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 E disse Isaías: Tomai uma pasta de figos. E tomando-a, puseram sobre a chaga, e sanou.

Then Isaiah said, “Prepare a poultice of figs.” So they brought it and applied it to the boil, and Hezekiah recovered.

8 E Ezequias havia dito a Isaías: Que sinal terei de que o SENHOR me sarará, e que subirei à casa do SENHOR ao terceiro dia?

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 E respondeu Isaías: Esta sinal terás do SENHOR, de que fará o SENHOR isto que disse: Avançará a sombra dez degraus, ou retrocederá dez degraus?

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 E Ezequias respondeu: Fácil coisa é que a sombra decline dez degraus: mas, que a sombra volte atrás dez degraus.

“It is easy for the shadow to lengthen ten steps,” answered Hezekiah, “but not for it to go back ten steps.”

11 Então o profeta Isaías clamou ao SENHOR; e fez voltar a sombra pelos degraus que havia descido no relógio de Acaz, dez degraus atrás.

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 Naquele tempo Berodaque-Baladã, filho de Baladã, rei da Babilônia, enviou cartas e um presente a Ezequias, porque havia ouvido que Ezequias havia estado doente.

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 E Ezequias os ouviu, e mostrou-lhes toda a casa das coisas preciosas, prata, ouro, e especiaria, e preciosos unguentos; e a casa de suas armas, e tudo o que havia em seus tesouros: nenhuma coisa restou que Ezequias não lhes mostrasse, tanto em sua casa como em todo o seu domínio.

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 Então o profeta Isaías veio ao rei Ezequias, e disse-lhe: Que disseram aqueles homens, e de onde vieram a ti? E Ezequias lhe respondeu: De distantes terras vieram, de Babilônia.

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 E ele lhe voltou a dizer: Que viram em tua casa? E Ezequias respondeu: Viram tudo o que havia em minha casa; nada restou em meus tesouros que não lhes mostrasse.

“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 Então Isaías disse a Ezequias: Ouve a palavra do SENHOR:

Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the LORD:

17 Eis que vêm dias, em que tudo o que está em tua casa, e tudo o que teus pais entesouraram até hoje, será levado a Babilônia, sem restar nada, disse o SENHOR.

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 E de teus filhos que sairão de ti, que haverás gerado, tomarão; e serão eunucos no palácio do rei da Babilônia.

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 Então Ezequias disse a Isaías: A palavra do SENHOR que falaste, é boa. Depois disse: Mas não haverá paz e verdade em meus dias?

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 Os demais dos feitos de Ezequias, e todo o seu vigor, e como fez o tanque, e o aqueduto, e meteu as águas na cidade, não está escrito no livro das crônicas dos reis de Judá?

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 E descansou Ezequias com seus pais, e reinou em seu lugar Manassés seu filho.

And Hezekiah rested with his fathers, and his son Manasseh reigned in his place.
