2 Kings 20

1 In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Set thy house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.

Saa nna no mu no, Hesekia yaree owuyare, na Amos babarima Odiyifo Yesaia kɔɔ ne nkyɛn kɔkae se, “Sɛnea Awurade se ni: Toto wʼakwan yiye, efisɛ worebewu; na wo ho renyɛ wo den bio.”

2 Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto Jehovah, saying,

Bere a Hesekia tee asɛm yi, otwaa nʼani hwɛɛ ɔfasu, bɔɔ Awurade mpae se,

3 Remember now, O Jehovah, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.

“Kae, Awurade, sɛnea manantew wʼanim nokware mu na mede me koma ayɛ nea ɛfata wɔ wʼanim.” Na Hesekia suu bebree.

4 And it came to pass, before Isaiah was gone out into the middle part of the city, that the word of Jehovah came to him, saying,

Na ansa na Yesaia befi adiwo no mfimfini no, Awurade de asɛm yi besii ne so se,

5 Turn back, and say to Hezekiah the prince of my people, Thus saith Jehovah, 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 thou shalt go up unto the house of Jehovah.

“San kɔ Hesekia a ɔyɛ me nkurɔfo kannifo no nkyɛn, na kɔka kyerɛ no se, ‘Sɛɛ na Awurade a ɔyɛ wʼagya Dawid Nyankopɔn se: Mate wo mpaebɔ no, ahu wo nusu no. Mɛsa wo yare, na nnansa akyi no, wobɛsɔre afi mpa so, na woakɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu.

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

Mede mfe dunum bɛka wo mfe ho, na megye wo ne saa kuropɔn yi afi Asiriahene nsam. Me somfo Dawid nti, mɛyɛ eyi de agye mʼanuonyam.’”

7 And Isaiah said, Take a cake of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.

Na Yesaia ka kyerɛɛ Hesekia asomfo no se, “Momfa borɔdɔma nyɛ ngo, na momfa nsrasra pɔmpɔ no so.” Wɔyɛɛ saa, na Hesekia nyaa ahoɔden.

8 And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that Jehovah will heal me, and that I shall go up unto the house of Jehovah the third day?

Ansa na ɔrebenya ayaresa no, Hesekia bisaa Yesaia se, “Nsɛnkyerɛnne bɛn na Awurade bɛyɛ, de akyerɛ sɛ ɔbɛsa me yare, na matumi akɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu nnansa so?”

9 And Isaiah said, This shall be the sign unto thee from Jehovah, that Jehovah will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps?

Yesaia buae se, “Eyi ne nsɛnkyerɛnne a Awurade bɛyɛ akyerɛ wo sɛ obedi ne bɔhyɛ so. Wopɛ sɛ sunsuma no kɔ nʼanim anammɔntu du anaa ɛsan nʼakyi anammɔntu du?”

10 And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to decline ten steps: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten steps.

Hesekia buae se, “Honhom no kɔ nʼanim bere biara. Na mmom, ma ɛnkɔ nʼakyi.”

11 And Isaiah the prophet cried unto Jehovah; and he brought the shadow ten steps backward, by which it had gone down on the dial of Ahaz.

Enti Yesaia srɛɛ Awurade sɛ ɔnyɛ eyi, na ɔmaa sunsuma no tetew san nʼakyi anammɔntu du wɔ Ahas atrapoe no so.

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

Saa bere yi mu na Babiloniahene Baladan babarima Merodak-Baladan soma ma wɔkɔmaa Hesekia tirinkwa ne akyɛde, efisɛ na wate sɛ ɔyare dennen bi bɔɔ Hesekia.

13 And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and showed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil, and the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah showed them not.

Hesekia gyee Babilonia ananmusifo yi, kyerɛɛ wɔn biribiara a ɔwɔ wɔ nʼadekoradan mu a ɛyɛ dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ, nnuhuam ne ngo a ɛyɛ huam. Afei nso, ɔde wɔn kɔɔ nʼadekorabea, san kyerɛɛ wɔn nʼadekoradan mu biribiara. Biribiara nni nʼahemfi hɔ anaa nʼaheman mu hɔ a Hesekia ankyerɛ wɔn.

14 Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country, even from Babylon.

Afei Odiyifo Yesaia kɔɔ ɔhene Hesekia nkyɛn, kobisaa no se, “Asɛm bɛn na saa mmarima no kae na he na wofi bae?” Hesekia buae se, “Wofi akyirikyiri asase bi so. Wofi Babilonia, na wɔbaa me nkyɛn.”

15 And he said, What have they seen in thy house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in my house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not showed them.

Odiyifo no bisae se, “Dɛn na wohuu wɔ wʼahemfi hɔ?” Hesekia buae se, “Wohuu biribiara a ɛwɔ mʼahemfi ha. Biribiara nni mʼademude mu a mamfa ankyerɛ wɔn.”

16 And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of Jehovah.

Na Yesaia ka kyerɛɛ Hesekia se, “Tie saa asɛm a efi Awurade nkyɛn yi:

17 Behold, the days come, that all that is in thy house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith Jehovah.

Nokware, bere bi bɛba a, wɔbɛsoa biribiara a ɛwɔ wʼahemfi ne agyapade a wʼagyanom akora de abedu nnɛ no akɔ Babilonia. Biribiara renka, sɛɛ na Awurade se.

18 And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, whom thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.

Wʼankasa wʼasefo bi mpo, wɔbɛfa wɔn nnommum. Wɔbɛyɛ piamfo a wɔbɛsom wɔ Babiloniahene ahemfi.”

19 Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word of Jehovah which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, Is it not so, if peace and truth shall be in my days?

Na Hesekia ka kyerɛɛ Yesaia se, “Saa asɛm yi a efi Awurade nkyɛn a woaka akyerɛ me yi yɛ asɛm papa.” Nanso na ɔhene no redwene sɛ, ne bere so de, obenya asomdwoe ne bammɔ.

20 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, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

Nsɛm a esisii Hesekia ahenni mu nkae no a ne tumidi ka ho, ne sɛnea ɔyɛɛ subun, twaa suka maa nsu baa kurow no mu no nyinaa, wɔankyerɛw angu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?

21 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers; and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.

Bere a Hesekia wui no, ne babarima Manase na odii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
