2 Mga Hari 20

1Nang mga araw na yaon ay may sakit na ikamamatay si Ezechias. At si Isaias na propeta na anak ni Amos ay naparoon sa kaniya, at nagsabi sa kaniya, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Ayusin mo ang iyong bahay; sapagka't ikaw ay mamamatay, at hindi mabubuhay. 2Nang magkagayo'y kaniyang ipinihit ang kaniyang mukha sa panig ng bahay, at nanalangin sa Panginoon, na nagsasabi, 3Idinadalangin ko sa iyo, Oh Panginoon, na iyong alalahanin, kung paanong ako'y lumakad sa harap mo sa katotohanan, at may dalisay na puso at gumawa ng mabuti sa iyong paningin. At si Ezechias ay umiyak na mainam. 4At nangyari, bago si Isaias ay lumabas sa pinakaloob ng bayan, na ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating sa kaniya, na nagsasabi, 5Bumalik ka uli, at sabihin mo kay Ezechias na pangulo ng aking bayan. Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng Dios ni David na iyong magulang, Aking narinig ang iyong panalangin, aking nakita ang iyong mga luha: narito, aking pagagalingin ka: sa ikatlong araw ay sasampa ka sa bahay ng Panginoon. 6At aking idadagdag sa iyong mga kaarawan ay labing limang taon; at aking ililigtas ka at ang bayang ito sa kamay ng hari sa Asiria; at aking ipagsasanggalang ang bayang ito dahil sa akin, at dahil sa aking lingkod na si David. 7At sinabi ni Isaias, Kayo'y magsikuha ng isang binilong igos. At kinuha nila at itinapal sa bukol at siya'y gumaling. 8At sinabi ni Ezechias kay Isaias, Ano ang magiging tanda na ako'y pagagalingin ng Panginoon, at ako'y sasampa sa bahay ng Panginoon sa ikatlong araw? 9At sinabi ni Isaias, Ito ang magiging tanda sa iyo na mula sa Panginoon, na gagawin ng Panginoon ang bagay na kaniyang sinalita: magpapauna ba ang anino ng sangpung grado, o magpapahuli ng sangpung grado? 10At sumagot si Ezechias, Magaang bagay sa anino na kumiling ng sangpung grado: hindi, kundi pahulihin ang anino ng sangpung grado. 11At si Isaias na propeta ay dumalangin sa Panginoon: at kaniyang pinapagpahuli ang anino ng sangpung grado, na nakababa na sa orasan ni Achaz. 12Nang panahong yaon ay si Berodach-baladan, na anak ni Baladan, na hari sa Babilonia, ay nagpadala ng mga sulat at ng kaloob kay Ezechias: sapagka't kaniyang nabalitaan na si Ezechias ay nagkasakit. 13At dininig ni Ezechias sila, at ipinakita sa kanila ang buong bahay ng kaniyang mahalagang mga bagay, ang pilak, at ang ginto, at ang mga espesia, at ang mahalagang langis, at ang bahay na taguan ng kaniyang sandata, at ang lahat na nasusumpungan sa mga kayamanan niya: walang anoman sa kaniyang bahay, o sa buong kaniyang sakop, na hindi ipinakita sa kanila ni Ezechias. 14Nang magkagayo'y naparoon si Isaias na propeta sa haring Ezechias, at nagsabi sa kaniya, Anong sinasabi ng mga lalaking ito? at saan nagsipanggaling na napasa iyo? At sinabi ni Ezechias, Sila'y nagsipanggaling sa malayong lupain, sa makatuwid baga'y sa Babilonia. 15At kaniyang sinabi, Anong kanilang nakita sa iyong bahay? At sumagot si Ezechias. Lahat na nasa aking bahay ay kanilang nakita: walang anomang bagay na nasa aking mga kayamanan na di ko ipinakita sa kanila. 16At sinabi ni Isaias kay Ezechias, Dinggin mo ang salita ng Panginoon. 17Narito, ang mga kaarawan ay dumarating, na ang lahat na nangasa iyong bahay, at ang itinago ng iyong mga magulang hanggang sa araw na ito, ay dadalhin sa Babilonia: walang maiiwan, sabi ng Panginoon. 18At ang ilan sa iyong mga anak na magmumula sa iyo na iyong ipanganganak, sila'y dadalhin; at sila'y magiging bating sa bahay ng hari sa Babilonia. 19Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Ezechias kay Isaias, Mabuti ang salita ng Panginoon na iyong sinalita. Kaniyang sinabi, bukod dito, Hindi ba, kung magkakaroon ng kapayapaan at katotohanan sa aking mga kaarawan? 20Ang iba nga sa mga gawa ni Ezechias, at ang buo niyang kapangyarihan, at kung paano niyang ginawa ang tipunan ng tubig, at ang padaluyan, at nagdala ng tubig sa bayan, hindi ba nangasusulat sa aklat ng mga alaala sa mga hari sa Juda? 21At natulog si Ezechias na kasama ng kaniyang mga magulang: at si Manases na kaniyang anak ay naghari na kahalili niya.

1In those days was Hezekiah sick to death. Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Set your house in order; for you shall die, and not live.’” 2Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to Yahweh, saying, 3“Remember now, Yahweh, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight.” Hezekiah wept bitterly. 4Before Isaiah had gone out into the middle part of the city, Yahweh’s word came to him, saying, 5“Turn back, and tell Hezekiah the prince of my people, ‘Thus says Yahweh, 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 to Yahweh’s house. 6I will add to your days fifteen years. I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for my own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.”’” 7Isaiah said, “Take a cake of figs.” They took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered. 8Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “What shall be the sign that Yahweh will heal me, and that I shall go up to Yahweh’s house the third day?” 9Isaiah said, “This shall be the sign to 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?” 10Hezekiah answered, “It is a light thing for the shadow to go forward ten steps. Nay, but let the shadow return backward ten steps.” 11Isaiah the prophet cried to Yahweh; and he brought the shadow ten steps backward, by which it had gone down on the dial of Ahaz. 12At that time Berodach Baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah; for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick. 13Hezekiah listened to 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 didn’t show them. 14Then Isaiah the prophet came to king Hezekiah, and said to him, “What did these men say? From where did they come to you?” Hezekiah said, “They have come from a far country, even from Babylon.” 15He said, “What have they seen in your house?” Hezekiah answered, “They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.” 16Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear Yahweh’s word. 17‘Behold, the days come, that all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have laid up in store to this day, shall be carried to Babylon. Nothing shall be left,’ says Yahweh. 18‘Of your sons who shall issue from you, whom you shall father, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.’” 19Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “Yahweh’s word which you have spoken is good.” He said moreover, “Isn’t it so, if peace and truth shall be in my days?” 20Now 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, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 21Hezekiah slept with his fathers; and Manasseh his son reigned in his place.

1In die dagen werd Hizkia krank tot stervens toe; en de profeet Jesaja, de zoon van Amoz, kwam tot hem, en zeide tot hem: Zo zegt de HEERE: Geef bevel aan uw huis, want gij zult sterven, en niet leven. 2Toen keerde hij zijn aangezicht om naar den wand, en hij bad tot den HEERE, zeggende: 3Och, HEERE, gedenk toch, dat ik voor Uw aangezicht in waarheid en met een volkomen hart gewandeld, en wat goed in Uw ogen is, gedaan heb. En Hizkia weende gans zeer. 4Het gebeurde nu, als Jesaja uit het middelvoorhof nog niet gegaan was, dat het woord des HEEREN tot hem geschiedde, zeggende: 5Keer weder en zeg tot Hizkia, den voorganger Mijns volks: Zo zegt de HEERE, de God van uw vader David: Ik heb uw gebed gehoord, Ik heb uw tranen gezien; zie, Ik zal u gezond maken; aan den derden dag zult gij opgaan in het huis des HEEREN; 6En Ik zal vijftien jaren tot uw dagen toedoen, en zal u uit de hand des konings van Assyrie verlossen, mitsgaders deze stad; en Ik zal deze stad beschermen om Mijnentwil, en om Mijns knechts Davids wil. 7Daarna zeide Jesaja: Neemt een klomp vijgen; en zij namen ze, en legden ze op de zweer, en hij werd genezen. 8Hizkia nu had gezegd tot Jesaja: Welk is het teken, dat de HEERE mij gezond maken zal, en dat ik den derden dag in des HEEREN huis zal opgaan? 9En Jesaja zeide: Dit zal u een teken van den HEERE zijn, dat de HEERE het woord, dat Hij gesproken heeft, doen zal: Zal de schaduw tien graden voorwaarts gaan, of tien graden achterwaarts keren? 10Toen zeide Hizkia: Het is der schaduwe licht, tien graden nederwaarts te gaan; neen, maar dat de schaduw tien graden achterwaarts kere. 11En Jesaja, de profeet, riep den HEERE aan; en Hij deed de schaduw tien graden achterwaarts keren in de graden, dewelke zij nederwaarts gegaan was, in de graden van Achaz' zonnewijzer. 12Te dier tijd zond Berodach Baladan de zoon van Baladan, de koning van Babel, brieven en een geschenk aan Hizkia; want hij had gehoord, dat Hizkia krank geweest was. 13En Hizkia hoorde naar hen, en hij toonde hun zijn ganse schathuis, het zilver, en het goud, en de specerijen, en de beste olie, en zijn wapenhuis, en al wat gevonden werd in zijn schatten; er was geen ding in zijn huis, noch in zijn ganse heerschappij, dat hij hun niet toonde. 14Toen kwam de profeet Jesaja tot den koning Hizkia, en zeide tot hem: Wat hebben die mannen gezegd, en van waar zijn zij tot u gekomen? En Hizkia zeide: Zij zijn uit verren lande gekomen, uit Babel. 15En hij zeide: Wat hebben zij gezien in uw huis? En Hizkia zeide: Zij hebben alles gezien, wat in mijn huis is; geen ding is er in mijn schatten, dat ik hun niet getoond heb. 16Toen zeide Jesaja tot Hizkia: Hoor des HEEREN woord. 17Zie, de dagen komen, dat al wat in uw huis is, en wat uw vaderen tot dezen dage toe opgelegd hebben, naar Babel weggevoerd zal worden; er zal niets overgelaten worden, zegt de HEERE. 18Daartoe zullen zij van uw zonen, die uit u zullen voortkomen, die gij gewinnen zult, nemen, dat zij hovelingen zijn in het paleis des konings van Babel. 19Maar Hizkia zeide tot Jesaja: Het woord des HEEREN, dat gij gesproken hebt, is goed. Ook zeide hij: Zou het niet, naardien vrede en waarheid in mijn dagen wezen zal? 20Het overige nu der geschiedenissen van Hizkia, en al zijn macht, en hoe hij den vijver en den watergang gemaakt heeft, en water in de stad gebracht heeft, zijn die niet geschreven in het boek der kronieken der koningen van Juda? 21En Hizkia ontsliep met zijn vaderen; en zijn zoon Manasse werd koning in zijn plaats.
