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 was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus says the LORD, Set your house in order; for you shall die, and not live.
2 Então virou ele seu rosto à parede, e orou ao SENHOR, e disse:
Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto 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.
I plead to you, O LORD, remember now how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.
4 E antes que Isaías saísse até a metade do pátio, veio a palavra do SENHOR a Isaías, dizendo:
And it came to pass, before Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that 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.
Return, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus says the LORD, the God of David your father, I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears: behold, I will heal you: on the third day you shall go up unto 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.
And I will add unto your days fifteen years; and I will deliver you 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.
7 E disse Isaías: Tomai uma pasta de figos. E tomando-a, puseram sobre a chaga, e sanou.
And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he 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?
And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD 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 said, This sign shall you have of the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he has spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?
10 E Ezequias respondeu: Fácil coisa é que a sombra decline dez degraus: mas, que a sombra volte atrás dez degraus.
And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees.
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.
And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial 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 Berodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah: for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.
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 hearkened unto them, and showed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah showed them not.
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 came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto you? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country, even 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.
And he said, What have they seen in your house? And Hezekiah answered, All the things that are in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not showed them.
16 Então Isaías disse a Ezequias: Ouve a palavra do SENHOR:
And Isaiah said unto 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.
Behold, the days come, that all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall 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 of your sons that shall issue from you, which you shall brought forth, shall they take away; and they shall 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?
Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which you have spoken. And he said, Is it not good, if peace and truth be in my days?
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?
And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made a pool, and a conduit, and brought 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 slept with his fathers: and Manasseh his son reigned in his position.
