2 Kings 20
1 About that time, Hezekiah became very ill. [He thought that he] was about to die. Isaiah the prophet came to him and said, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘You should tell the people in your palace what you want them to do after you die, because you are not going to recover from this illness. You are going to die.’”
Kadagidiay nga al-aldaw, agsaksakit ni Hezekias ket matmatayen. Isu a napan kekuana ni propeta Isaias nga anak ni Amos ket kinunana kenkuana, “Kinuna ni Yahweh, 'Urnosemon ti balaymo; ta mataykan ket saankan nga agbiag.'”
2 Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall and prayed,
Ket insango ni Hezekias ti rupana iti diding ket nagkararag kenni Yahweh a kinunana,
3 “Yahweh, do not forget that I have always served you faithfully, and I have done things that pleased you.” Then Hezekiah started to cry loudly.
“Pangaasim Yahweh, laglagipem no kasanoak a simmurot a sipupudno kenka iti amin a pusok ken no kasanoak a nagaramid ti naimbag iti panagkitam.” Ket nagsangit iti napigsa ni Hezekias.
4 Isaiah left the king, but before he had crossed the middle courtyard of the palace, Yahweh gave him a message
Sakbay a makalasat ni Isaias iti akintengnga a paraangan, immay kenkuana ti sao ni Yahweh a kinunana,
5 which said, “Go back to Hezekiah, the ruler of my people, and say to him, ‘I, Yahweh, the God whom your ancestor King David [worshiped], have heard what you prayed. And I have seen your tears. So, listen: I will heal you. Two days from now you will [be able to] go up to my temple.
“Agsublika, ket ibagam kenni Hezekias, ti mangidadaulo kadagiti tattaok, 'Daytoy ti kinuna ni Yahweh a Dios ni David a kapuonam: “Nangngegko ti kararagmo, ket nakitak dagiti luam. Agasankanto iti maikatlo nga aldaw, ket sumang-atkanto iti balay ni Yahweh.
6 I will enable you to live for 15 more years. And I will rescue you and this city again from the power [MTY] of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for the sake of my own reputation and because of what I promised King David, who served me [well].’”
Nayunak pay ti sangapulo ket lima a tawen ti biagmo, ket ispalenka ken daytoy a siudad manipud iti bileg ti ari ti Asiria, ken salaknibak daytoy a siudad para iti bukodko a dayaw ken gapu iti adipenko a ni David."”'
7 So Isaiah [returned to the palace and told Hezekiah what Yahweh had said. Then he] [to Hezekiah’s servants], “Bring a paste made of boiled figs. Put some of it on his boil, and he will get well.”
Isu a kinuna ni Isaias, “Mangalakayo iti namekmek nga igos.” Inaramidda ket intapalda iti lettegna, ket immimbag.
8 Then Hezekiah replied to Isaiah, “What will Yahweh do to prove that he will heal me and that two days from now I will be able to go up to the temple?”
Kinuna ni Hezekias kenni Isaias, “Anianto ti pagilasinan nga agasannak ni Yahweh, a makasang-atak idiay templona iti maikatlo nga aldaw?”
9 Isaiah replied, “Yahweh will do something that will prove to you that he will do what he promised. Do you want him to cause the shadow on the stairway/sundial to go back ten steps/degrees, or to go forward ten steps/degrees?”
Simmungbat ni Isaias, “Daytoy ti pagilasinam manipud kenni Yahweh, nga aramidento ni Yahweh ti banag nga imbagana. Agpasangonto kadi ti aniniwan iti sangapulo a tukad wenno bumaba iti sangapulo a tukad?”
10 Hezekiah replied, “It is easy to cause the shadow to move forward, [because that is what it always does]. Tell him to cause it to move backward ten steps/degrees.”
Simmungbat ni Hezekias, “Nalaka a banag para iti aniniwan nga agpasango iti sangapulo a tukad. Pababaen lattan ti aniniwan iti sangapulo a tukad.”
11 So Isaiah prayed earnestly to Yahweh, and Yahweh caused the shadow to go backward ten steps/degrees on the stairway/sundial that King Ahaz had made (OR, that workers had built for King Ahaz).
Isu nga immawag ni Isaias a propeta kenni Yahweh, ket impababana ti aniniwan iti sangapulo a tukad, iti agdan ni Ahaz a nagakaranna.
12 At that time, King Merodach-Baladan, the son of Baladan the [previous] King of Babylonia, heard a report that King Hezekiah had been very sick. So he wrote some letters and gave them to some messengers to take to Hezekiah, along with a gift.
Iti dayta a tiempo, nangipatulod kadagiti surat ken sagut ni Merodak Baladan nga anak ni Baladan nga ari ti Babilonia kenni Hezekias, ta nadamagna nga agsaksakit ni Hezekias.
13 [When the messengers arrived], Hezekiah welcomed them gladly. Then he showed them everything that was in his (treasure houses/places where very valuable things were stored)—the silver and gold, the spices, the nice-smelling olive oil, and all the weapons [for his soldiers]. He showed them all the [valuable] things in his storerooms and everywhere else in his kingdom [HYP]; he showed them everything.
Dinengngeg ni Hezekias ti linaon dagitoy a surat, kalpasanna, impakitana kadagiti mensahero ti sibubukel a palasio ken ti kinabaknangna, dagiti pirak, dagiti balitok, dagiti rekado ken dagiti napapateg a lana, ken ti pagidulinan dagiti armasna, ken dagiti amin nga adda kadagiti pagidulinanna. Awan ti saan nga impakita ni Hezekias kadakuada nga adda iti balay ken pagarianna.
14 Then the prophet Isaiah went to Hezekiah and asked him, “Where did those men come from, and what did they say to you?” Hezekiah replied, “They came from a country very far from here. They came from Babylonia.”
Kalpasanna, napan ni propeta Isaias kenni Ari Hezekias ket dinamagna, “Ania ti imbaga dagitoy a lallaki kenka? Sadino ti naggapuanda? Kinuna ni Hezekias, “Naggapuda iti adayo a pagilian iti Babilonia.”
15 Isaiah asked, “What did they see in your palace?” Hezekiah replied, “They saw everything. I showed them absolutely everything that I own—all my valuable things.”
Sinaludsod ni Isaias, “Ania ti nakitada iti uneg ti balaymo?” Simmungbat ni Hezekias, “Nakitada amin nga adda iti uneg ti balayko. Awan kadagiti napapateg a banbanag iti saanko nga impakita kadakuada.”
16 [Isaiah knew that Hezekiah had done a very foolish thing]. So Isaiah said to him, “Listen to what Yahweh says to you.
Isu a kinuna ni Isaias kenni Hezekias, “Denggem ti sao ni Yahweh:
17 There will be a time when everything that is still in your palace, all the valuable things that were put there by you and your ancestors, will be carried away to Babylon. There will be nothing left here! [That is what] Yahweh says [to you]
Kitaem, dumtengto dagiti aldaw a maipan idiay Babilonia dagiti isu amin nga adda iti palasiom, dagiti banbanag nga impempen dagiti kapuonam agingga iti agdama nga aldaw. Awanto pulos iti mabati, kuna ni Yahweh.
18 Furthermore, some of your own descendants will be forced to go there, and they will be castrated in order that they may become servants in the palace of the King of Babylon.”
Italawdanto dagiti annakmo a lallaki, a pinutotmo—ket agbalindanto a eunoko iti palasio ti ari ti Babilonia.”'
19 Then Hezekiah replied to Isaiah, “That message from Yahweh that you have given to me is good.” He said that because he was thinking, “Even if that happens, there will be peace and security [in Israel] all the rest of my life.”
Kinuna ni Hezekias kenni Isaias, “Nasayaat ti imbagam a sao ni Yahweh.” Ta impagarupna, “Awanto kadi iti kapia ken kinatalged kadagiti aldawko?”
20 [If you want to know more about] [RHQ] all the other things that Hezekiah did, about his brave deeds in battle, about his ordering a reservoir to be built in the city and a tunnel [to be dug] to bring water into the reservoir, they are all written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
No maipapan met kadagiti dadduma a banbanag maipapan kenni Hezekias, ti amin a kinabilegna, no kasano nga inaramidna ti pagurnongan ti danum ken iti usok a pagayusan ti danum, no kasano nga indanonna ti danum idiay siudad— saanda kadi a naisurat Iti Libro Dagiti Pakasaritaan Dagiti Ari-ari iti Juda?
21 Later Hezekiah died [EUP], and his son Manasseh became the king.
Pimmusay ni Hezekias ket ni Manases nga anakna ti nagbalin nga ari a kasukatna.
