2 Wa 20

1 Nan jou sa yo, Ézéchias te vin malad jis rive nan pòt lanmò. Epi Ésaïe, pwofèt la, fis a Amots la, te vin kote li e te di li: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, ‘Mete lakay ou an lòd; paske ou va mouri e ou p ap viv.’”

In those days Hezekiah was sick to the point of dying. So Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet came to him, and said to him, “Yahweh says, 'Set your house in order; for you will die, and not live.'”

2 Konsa, Ézéchias te vire figi li vè miray la pou te priye a SENYÈ a. Li te di:

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

3 “Sonje koulye a, O SENYÈ a, mwen sipliye Ou, jan mwen te mache devan Ou anverite avèk tout kè m nan, ak jan mwen te fè sa ki bon nan zye Ou a.” Epi Ézéchias te kriye byen anmè.

“Please, Yahweh, call to mind how I have faithfully walked before you with my whole heart, and how I have done what was good in your sight.” Then Hezekiah wept loudly.

4 Avan Ésaïe te sòti nan mitan vil a, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote li. Li te di:

Before Isaiah had gone out into the middle courtyard, the word of Yahweh came to him, saying,

5 “Retounen pale ak Ézéchias, dirijan pèp mwen an: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt ou a, David: “Mwen te tande lapriyè pa w la. Mwen te wè dlo ki sòti nan zye ou a. Men vwala, Mwen va geri ou. Nan twazyèm jou a, ou va monte lakay SENYÈ a.

“Turn back, and say to Hezekiah, the leader of my people, 'This is what Yahweh, the God of David your ancestor, says: “I have heard your prayer, and I have seen your tears. I am about to heal you on the third day, and you will go up to the house of Yahweh.

6 Mwen va mete kenzan sou lavi ou e mwen va delivre ou avèk vil sa a soti nan men a wa Assyrie. Mwen va defann vil sa a pou koz pa Mwen ak pou koz David, sèvitè Mwen an.”’”

I will add fifteen years to your life, and I will rescue you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city for my own sake and for my servant David's sake.”'”

7 Konsa, Ésaïe te di: “Pran yon gato figye etranje.” Yo te pran l e te mete li sou apse a, e li te vin refè.

So Isaiah said, “Take a lump of figs.” They did so and put it on his boil, and he recovered.

8 Alò, Ézéchias te di a Ésaïe: “Ki sign ki va parèt ke SENYÈ a va geri mwen, e ke mwen va monte lakay SENYÈ a nan twazyèm jou a?”

Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “What will be the sign that Yahweh will heal me, and that I should go up to the temple of Yahweh on the third day?”

9 Ésaïe te di: “Sa va sign a ou menm soti nan SENYÈ a, ke SENYÈ a va fè bagay ke li te pale a: èske ou pito lonbraj la avanse dis pa, oswa fè bak dis pa?”

Isaiah replied, “This will be the sign for you from Yahweh, that Yahweh will do the thing that he has spoken. Shall the shadow go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps?”

10 Alò, Ézéchias te reponn: “Li tèlman fasil pou lonbraj la avanse dis pa. Men non, kite li fè bak dis pa.”

Hezekiah answered, “It is an easy thing for the shadow to go forward ten steps. No, let the shadow go backward ten steps.”

11 Ésaïe, pwofèt la, te kriye a SENYÈ a, e Li te fè lonbraj la fè bak dis pa sou eskalye a sou sila li te avanse nan eskalye Achaz la.

So Isaiah the prophet cried out to Yahweh, and he brought the shadow ten steps backward, from where it had moved on the stairway of Ahaz.

12 Nan tan sa a, Berodac-Baladan, fis a Baladan nan, wa Babylone nan, te voye lèt avèk yon kado bay Ézéchias, paske li te tande ke Ézéchias te konn malad.

At that time Marduk-Baladan son of Baladan king of Babylon sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah, for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.

13 Ézéchias te koute yo e montre yo tout kay trezò li a, ajan avèk lò, epis avèk lwil presye, lakay boukliye li yo avèk tout sa ki te konn twouve nan trezò li yo. Pa t gen anyen lakay li ni nan tout wayòm li a ke li pa t montre yo.

Hezekiah listened to those letters, and then showed the messengers all the palace and his valuable things, the silver, the gold, the spices and precious oil, and the storehouse of his weapons, and all that was found in his storehouses. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his kingdom, that Hezekiah did not show them.

14 Alò, pwofèt la, Ésaïe, te vin kote Ézéchias. Li te mande li: “Kisa mesye sila yo te di e depi kibò yo sòti pou rive kote ou a?” Epi Ézéchias te di: “Yo sòti nan yon peyi lwen, nan Babylone.”

Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and asked him, “What did these men say to you? Where did they come from?” Hezekiah said, “They came from the distant country of Babylon.”

15 Li te di: “Kisa yo te wè lakay ou a?” Ézéchias te reponn: “Yo te wè tout sa ki lakay mwen an. Nanpwen anyen pami trezò mwen yo ke m pa t montre yo.”

Isaiah asked, “What have they seen in your house?” Hezekiah answered, “They have seen everything in my house. There is nothing among my valuable things that I have not shown them.”

16 Konsa, Ésaïe te di a Ézéchias: “Tande pawòl SENYÈ a.

So Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Listen to the word of Yahweh:

17 ‘Veye byen, jou yo ap vini lè tout sa ki lakay ou avèk tout sa ke zansèt ou yo te mete an depo jis rive jou sa a va pote ale Babylone. Anyen p ap rete, pale SENYÈ a.

'Look, the days are about to come when everything in your palace, the things that your ancestors stored away until this present day, will be carried to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says Yahweh.

18 Kèk nan fis ou yo ki va sòti nan ou menm, ke ou va fè, va retire ale; epi yo va devni ofisye nan palè a wa Babylone nan.’”

The sons born from you, whom you yourself have fathered—they will take them away, and they will become eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.'”

19 Alò Ézéchias te di a Ésaïe: “Pawòl SENYÈ a ke ou te bay la bon.” Paske li te reflechi: “Èske se pa sa, si k ap gen lapè avèk verite nan jou mwen yo?”

Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of Yahweh that you have spoken is good.” For he thought, “Will there not be peace and stability in my days?”

20 Alò, tout lòt zèv a Ézéchias yo avèk tout pwisans li ak jan li te fè sous dlo a avèk kanal ki te mennen dlo a nan vil la, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik A Wa Juda Yo?

As for the other matters concerning Hezekiah, and all his power, and how he constructed the pool and the conduit, and how he brought water into the city—are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Judah?

21 Konsa, Ézéchias te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo e Manassé, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.

Hezekiah slept with his ancestors, and Manasseh his son became king in his place.
