1Pea naʻe mahaki ʻa Hesekaia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia ʻo teitei mate. Pea naʻe haʻu kiate ia ʻae palōfita ko ʻIsaia ko e foha ʻo ʻAmosi, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, Teuteu ke lelei ho fale he te ke mate, pea ʻikai moʻui.”
1In those days Hezekiah was sick and dying. Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, “The LORD says, ‘Set your house in order; for you will die, and not live.’”
2Pea naʻe toki tafoki ai ʻe ia hono mata ki he holisi, pea ne lotu ʻe ia kia Sihova, ʻo pehē,
2Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the LORD, saying,
3“ʻOku ou kole kiate koe ʻe Sihova, ke ke manatu eni ʻa ʻeku ʻalu ʻi ho ʻao ʻi he moʻoni pea mo e loto angatotonu, pea kuo u fai ʻaia ʻoku lelei ʻi ho ʻao.” Pea naʻe tangi mamahi ʻa Hesekaia.
3“Remember now, LORD, 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.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
4Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he teʻeki ʻalu ʻa ʻIsaia ki he loto kolo, mo ʻene haʻu kiate ia ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,
4Before Isaiah had gone out into the middle part of the city, the LORD’s word came to him, saying,
5“Foki atu, pea tala kia Hesekaia ko e ʻeiki ʻa hoku kakai, ‘ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo Tevita ko hoʻo tamai, Kuo u ongoʻi hoʻo lotu, kuo u mamata ki ho ngaahi loʻimata: vakai te u fakamoʻui koe: ʻi hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho te ke ʻalu hake ki he fale ʻo Sihova.
5“Turn back, and tell Hezekiah the prince of my people, ‘The LORD, the God of David your father, says, “I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Behold, I will heal you. On the third day, you will go up to the LORD’s house.
6Pea te u fakatolotolonga ʻa hoʻo ngaahi ʻaho ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma nima; pea te u fakamoʻui koe mo e kolo ni mei he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia; pea te u maluʻi ʻae kolo ni koeʻuhi ko au, pea koeʻuhi ko Tevita ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki.”
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.”’”
7Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIsaia, “Toʻo mai ha takaonga fiki.” Pea naʻa nau ʻave ʻo ʻai ia ki he kiatolo, pea naʻa ne moʻui ai.
7Isaiah said, “Take a cake of figs.” They took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.
8¶ Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Hesekaia kia ʻIsaia, “Ko e hā hono fakaʻilonga ʻoe fakamoʻui au, pea ki heʻeku ʻalu hake ki he fale ʻo Sihova ʻi hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho?”
8Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “What will be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I will go up to the LORD’s house the third day?”
9Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIsaia, “Ke ke maʻu ʻae fakaʻilonga ko eni meia Sihova, ki heʻene fai moʻoni ʻe Sihova ʻae meʻa ni ʻaia kuo ne folofola ai: ʻe fēfē, ʻe hiki ki muʻa ʻae ata ʻi he tikeli ʻe hongofulu, pe te ne foki ki mui ʻi he tikeli ʻe hongofulu?
9Isaiah said, “This will be the sign to you from the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he has spoken: should the shadow go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps?”
10Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe Hesekaia, “Ko eni ko e meʻa maʻamaʻa ke ʻalu hifo ʻae ata ʻi he tikeli ʻe hongofulu: ʻoua naʻa pehē, taʻetuku ke foki ki mui ʻae ata ʻi he tikeli hongofulu.”
10Hezekiah answered, “It is a light thing for the shadow to go forward ten steps. No, but let the shadow return backward ten steps.”
11Pea tangi ʻae palōfita ko ʻIsaia kia Sihova: pea naʻa ne fakafoki ki mui ʻae ata ʻi he tikeli ʻe hongofulu, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu hifo ai ia ʻi he meʻa ʻa ʻAhasi ʻaia naʻe fakaʻilonga ai ʻae ngaahi feituʻulaʻā,
11Isaiah the prophet cried to the LORD; and he brought the shadow ten steps backward, by which it had gone down on the sundial of Ahaz.
12¶ ʻI he kuonga ko ia naʻe fekau ʻe Pelotakipalatani, ko e foha ʻo Palatani, ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ʻae ngaahi tohi mo e meʻaʻofa kia Hesekaia: he naʻe fanongo ia kuo mahaki ʻa Hesekaia.
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.
13Pea naʻe tokanga ʻa Hesekaia kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻae fale kotoa ʻo ʻene ngaahi meʻa maʻongoʻonga, ko e siliva, mo e koula, mo e ngaahi meʻa nanamu mo e lolo maʻongoʻonga, mo e fale ʻo ʻene mahafutau, mo ia kotoa pē naʻe ʻilo ʻi hono fale koloa: naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ʻi hono fale, mo hono puleʻanga kātoa naʻe taʻefakahā ʻe Hesekaia, kiate kinautolu.
13Hezekiah listened to them, and showed them all the storehouse of his precious things—the silver, the gold, 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, or in all his dominion, that Hezekiah didn’t show them.
14¶ Pea naʻe toki haʻu ai ʻa ʻIsaia ko e palōfita ki he tuʻi ko Hesekaia, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻae lea naʻe fai ʻe he kau tangata na? Pea naʻa nau haʻu mei fē kiate koe?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Hesekaia. “Kuo nau haʻu mei he fonua mamaʻo, ʻio, mei Papilone.”
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.”
15Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā kuo nau mamata ki ai ʻi ho fale?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Hesekaia, ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi hoku fale kuo nau mamata ki ai: ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻi hoku ngaahi koloa naʻe ʻikai te u fakahā kiate kinautolu.
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.”
16Pea pehē ʻe ʻIsaia kia Hesekaia, “Fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova.
16Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the LORD’s word.
17Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ʻe fetuku ai ki Papilone ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ho fale, mo ia kotoa pē naʻe tānaki ʻe hoʻo ngaahi tamai ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni: ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻE ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe toe.
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, will be carried to Babylon. Nothing will be left,’ says the LORD.
18Pea koeʻuhi ʻi ho ngaahi foha ʻe tupu ʻiate koe, ʻaia ʻe fānau kiate koe, te nau ʻave ke mamaʻo; pea te nau nofo ko e kau talifekau ʻi he fale ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Papilone.”
18‘They will take away some of your sons who will issue from you, whom you will father; and they will be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.’”
19Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe Hesekaia kia ʻIsaia, “ʻOku lelei ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaia kuo ke lea ʻaki. Pea pehē ʻe ia, ʻIkai ʻoku lelei, ʻo kapau ʻe ai ʻae melino mo e moʻoni ʻi hoku ngaahi ʻaho ʻoʻoku?”
19Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The LORD’s word which you have spoken is good.” He said moreover, “Isn’t it so, if peace and truth will be in my days?”
20Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Hesekaia, mo ʻene mālohi kotoa pē, pea mo ʻene ngaohi ʻae tukunga vai, mo e tafeʻanga vai, mo ʻene ʻomi ʻae vai ki he kolo, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?
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?
21Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Hesekaia mo ʻene ngaahi tamai: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko Manase.
21Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and Manasseh his son reigned in his place.
