2 Kings 20

1 In those days Hezekiah was ill and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him, and said to him, The Lord says, Put your house in order, for your death is near.

Pea naʻe mahaki ʻa Hesekaia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia ʻo teitei mate. Pea naʻe haʻu kiate ia ʻae palōfita ko ʻIsaia ko e foha ʻo ʻAmosi, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, Teuteu ke lelei ho fale he te ke mate, pea ʻikai moʻui.”

2 Then, turning his face to the wall, he made his prayer to the Lord, saying,

Pea naʻe toki tafoki ai ʻe ia hono mata ki he holisi, pea ne lotu ʻe ia kia Sihova, ʻo pehē,

3 O Lord, keep in mind how I have been true to you with all my heart, and have done what is good in your eyes. And Hezekiah gave way to bitter weeping.

“ʻOku ou kole kiate koe ʻe Sihova, ke ke manatu eni ʻa ʻeku ʻalu ʻi ho ʻao ʻi he moʻoni pea mo e loto angatotonu, pea kuo u fai ʻaia ʻoku lelei ʻi ho ʻao.” Pea naʻe tangi mamahi ʻa Hesekaia.

4 Now before Isaiah had gone out of the middle of the town, the word of the Lord came to him, saying,

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he teʻeki ʻalu ʻa ʻIsaia ki he loto kolo, mo ʻene haʻu kiate ia ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,

5 Go back and say to Hezekiah, the ruler of my people, The Lord, the God of David your father, says, Your prayer has come to my ears, and I have seen your weeping; see, I will make you well: on the third day you will go up to the house of the Lord.

“Foki atu, pea tala kia Hesekaia ko e ʻeiki ʻa hoku kakai, ‘ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo Tevita ko hoʻo tamai, Kuo u ongoʻi hoʻo lotu, kuo u mamata ki ho ngaahi loʻimata: vakai te u fakamoʻui koe: ʻi hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho te ke ʻalu hake ki he fale ʻo Sihova.

6 I will give you fifteen more years of life; and I will keep you and this town safe from the hands of the king of Assyria; I will keep this town safe, for my honour, and for the honour of my servant David.

Pea te u fakatolotolonga ʻa hoʻo ngaahi ʻaho ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma nima; pea te u fakamoʻui koe mo e kolo ni mei he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia; pea te u maluʻi ʻae kolo ni koeʻuhi ko au, pea koeʻuhi ko Tevita ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki.”

7 Then Isaiah said, Take a cake of figs. So they took it and put it on his wound, and he got better.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIsaia, “Toʻo mai ha takaonga fiki.” Pea naʻa nau ʻave ʻo ʻai ia ki he kiatolo, pea naʻa ne moʻui ai.

8 And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, What is to be the sign that the Lord will make me well, and that I will go up to the house of the Lord on the third day?

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Hesekaia kia ʻIsaia, “Ko e hā hono fakaʻilonga ʻoe fakamoʻui au, pea ki heʻeku ʻalu hake ki he fale ʻo Sihova ʻi hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho?”

9 And Isaiah said, This is the sign the Lord will give you, that he will do what he has said; will the shade go forward ten degrees or back?

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIsaia, “Ke ke maʻu ʻae fakaʻilonga ko eni meia Sihova, ki heʻene fai moʻoni ʻe Sihova ʻae meʻa ni ʻaia kuo ne folofola ai: ʻe fēfē, ʻe hiki ki muʻa ʻae ata ʻi he tikeli ʻe hongofulu, pe te ne foki ki mui ʻi he tikeli ʻe hongofulu?

10 And Hezekiah said in answer, It is a simple thing for the shade to go forward; but let it go back ten degrees.

Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe Hesekaia, “Ko eni ko e meʻa maʻamaʻa ke ʻalu hifo ʻae ata ʻi he tikeli ʻe hongofulu: ʻoua naʻa pehē, taʻetuku ke foki ki mui ʻae ata ʻi he tikeli hongofulu.”

11 Then Isaiah the prophet made prayer to the Lord, and he made the shade go back ten degrees from its position on the steps of Ahaz.

Pea tangi ʻae palōfita ko ʻIsaia kia Sihova: pea naʻa ne fakafoki ki mui ʻae ata ʻi he tikeli ʻe hongofulu, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu hifo ai ia ʻi he meʻa ʻa ʻAhasi ʻaia naʻe fakaʻilonga ai ʻae ngaahi feituʻulaʻā,

12 At that time, Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters with an offering to Hezekiah, because he had news that Hezekiah had been ill.

ʻI he kuonga ko ia naʻe fekau ʻe Pelotakipalatani, ko e foha ʻo Palatani, ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ʻae ngaahi tohi mo e meʻaʻofa kia Hesekaia: he naʻe fanongo ia kuo mahaki ʻa Hesekaia.

13 And Hezekiah was glad at their coming and let them see all his store of wealth, the silver and the gold and the spices and the oil of great price, and the house of his arms, and everything there was in his stores; there was nothing in all his house or his kingdom which Hezekiah did not let them see.

Pea naʻe tokanga ʻa Hesekaia kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻae fale kotoa ʻo ʻene ngaahi meʻa maʻongoʻonga, ko e siliva, mo e koula, mo e ngaahi meʻa nanamu mo e lolo maʻongoʻonga, mo e fale ʻo ʻene mahafutau, mo ia kotoa pē naʻe ʻilo ʻi hono fale koloa: naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ʻi hono fale, mo hono puleʻanga kātoa naʻe taʻefakahā ʻe Hesekaia, kiate kinautolu.

14 Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and said to him, What did these men say and where did they come from? And Hezekiah said, They came from a far country, even from Babylon.

Pea naʻe toki haʻu ai ʻa ʻIsaia ko e palōfita ki he tuʻi ko Hesekaia, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻae lea naʻe fai ʻe he kau tangata na? Pea naʻa nau haʻu mei fē kiate koe?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Hesekaia. “Kuo nau haʻu mei he fonua mamaʻo, ʻio, mei Papilone.”

15 And he said, What have they seen in your house? And Hezekiah said in answer, They saw everything in my house: there is nothing among my stores which I did not let them see.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā kuo nau mamata ki ai ʻi ho fale?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Hesekaia, ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi hoku fale kuo nau mamata ki ai: ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻi hoku ngaahi koloa naʻe ʻikai te u fakahā kiate kinautolu.

16 And Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Give ear to the word of the Lord.

Pea pehē ʻe ʻIsaia kia Hesekaia, “Fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova.

17 Truly, days are coming when everything in your house, and whatever your fathers have put in store till this day, will be taken away to Babylon: all will be gone, says the Lord.

Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ʻe fetuku ai ki Papilone ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ho fale, mo ia kotoa pē naʻe tānaki ʻe hoʻo ngaahi tamai ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni: ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻE ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe toe.

18 And your sons, the offspring of your body, they will take away to be unsexed servants in the house of the king of Babylon.

Pea koeʻuhi ʻi ho ngaahi foha ʻe tupu ʻiate koe, ʻaia ʻe fānau kiate koe, te nau ʻave ke mamaʻo; pea te nau nofo ko e kau talifekau ʻi he fale ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Papilone.”

19 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord which you have said. Then he said, ... if in my time there is peace and righteousness?

Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe Hesekaia kia ʻIsaia, “ʻOku lelei ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaia kuo ke lea ʻaki. Pea pehē ʻe ia, ʻIkai ʻoku lelei, ʻo kapau ʻe ai ʻae melino mo e moʻoni ʻi hoku ngaahi ʻaho ʻoʻoku?”

20 Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his power, and how he made the pool and the stream, to take water into the town, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Hesekaia, mo ʻene mālohi kotoa pē, pea mo ʻene ngaohi ʻae tukunga vai, mo e tafeʻanga vai, mo ʻene ʻomi ʻae vai ki he kolo, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?

21 And Hezekiah went to rest with his fathers; and Manasseh his son became king in his place.

Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Hesekaia mo ʻene ngaahi tamai: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko Manase.
