1 I aua ra ka mate a Hetekai, whano marere, Na ka tae mai a Ihaia poropiti tama a Amoho ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Whakahaua iho tou whare; no te mea ka mate koe, kahore e ora.

In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, went to him and said to him, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Set your house in order, for you shall die, and not live.’”

2 K atahi ka tahuri tona mata ki te pakitara, ka inoi ki a Ihowa, ka mea,

Then he turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying,

3 T ena ra, e Ihowa, kia mahara ki oku haereerenga i tou aroaro i runga i te pono, i te ngakau tapatahi, ki taku meatanga i te pai ki tau titiro. Na tangi ana a Hetekia, nui atu te tangi.

“Remember now, O Lord, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart, and have done what was good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

4 N a kahore ano a Ihaia kia puta noa ki waenganui o te pa, kua puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a ia, kua mea,

And it happened, before Isaiah had gone out into the middle court, that the word of the Lord came to him, saying,

5 H oki atu, mea atu ki te rangatira o taku iwi, ki a Hetekia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Rawiri, o tou tupuna, Kua whakarangona tau inoi e ahau, a kua kite ahau i ou roimata: nana, me whakaora koe e ahau: hei te toru o nga ra ka haere ko e ki runga, ki te whare o Ihowa.

“Return and tell Hezekiah the leader of My people, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father: “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the house of the Lord.

6 K a tapiritia ano e ahau ou ra ki nga tau kotahi tekau ma rima: a ka whakaorangia koe me tenei pa e ahau i te ringa o te kingi o Ahiria; a ka tiakina e ahau tenei pa, he whakaaro ki ahau ano, ki taku tangata hoki, ki a Rawiri.

And I will add to your days fifteen years. I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for My own sake, and for the sake of My servant David.”’”

7 I ki ano hoki a Ihaia, Tikina he papa piki. Na tikina ana e ratou, whakapakia ana ki te whewhe, na kua ora ia.

Then Isaiah said, “Take a lump of figs.” So they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.

8 N a ka mea a Hetekia ki a Ihaia, He aha te tohu moku ka whakaorangia ahau e Ihowa? moku ka haere i te toru o nga ra ki te whare o Ihowa?

And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “What is the sign that the Lord will heal me, and that I shall go up to the house of the Lord the third day?”

9 A no ra ko Ihaia, Ko te tohu tenei a Ihowa ki a koe, ka oti i a Ihowa tana kupu i korero ai ia: kia tekau ranei nga nekehanga e neke atu ai te atarangi; kia tekau ranei nga whakahokinga e hoki ai?

Then Isaiah said, “This is the sign to you from the Lord, that the Lord will do the thing which He has spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees or go backward ten degrees?”

10 A no ra ko Hetekia, He mea noa iho kia tekau nga nekehanga e neke atu ai te atarangi; erangi kia tekau nga nekehanga e hoki ai te atarangi ki muri.

And Hezekiah answered, “It is an easy thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees; no, but let the shadow go backward ten degrees.”

11 K atahi a Ihaia poropiti ka karanga ki a Ihowa, a whakahokia ana e ia te atarangi, tekau nga nekehanga, o nga nekehanga i heke iho ai i te whakaatu haora a Ahata.

So Isaiah the prophet cried out to the Lord, and He brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down on the sundial of Ahaz. The Babylonian Envoys

12 I taua wa ka tukua e Peroraka Pararana, tama a Pararana kingi o Papurona he pukapuka me tetahi hakari ki a Hetekia: no te mea i rongo ia i te mate a Hetekia.

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

13 A i whakarongo a Hetekia ki a ratou, whakakitea ana e ia ki a ratou te whare katoa o ana mea papai, te hiriwa, te koura, nga kinaki kakara, te hinu utu nui, me te whare o ana mea mo te whawhai me nga mea katoa i rokohanga ki roto ki ona taonga: kahore tetahi mea o tona whare, o tona kingitanga katoa, i kore te whakakitea e Hetekia ki a ratou.

And Hezekiah was attentive to them, and showed them all the house of his treasures—the silver and gold, the spices and precious ointment, and all his armory—all that was found among his treasures. There was nothing in his house or in all his dominion that Hezekiah did not show them.

14 K atahi ka haere mai a Ihaia poropiti ki a Kingi Hetekia, ka mea ki mai hoki ratou ki a koe i hea? Ano ra ko Hetekia, i haere mai ratou i te whenua hoi, i Papurona.

Then Isaiah the prophet went to King Hezekiah, and said to him, “What did these men say, and from where did they come to you?” So Hezekiah said, “They came from a far country, from Babylon.”

15 A no ra ko tera, He aha nga mea i kitea e ratou ki tou whare? Ka whakahokia e Hetekia, Kua kitea e ratou nga mea katoa i toku whare: kahore tetahi mea o oku taonga i kore te whakakitea e ahau ki a ratou.

And he said, “What have they seen in your house?” So Hezekiah answered, “They have seen all that is in my house; there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.”

16 N a ka mea a Ihaia ki a Hetekia, Whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa.

Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the Lord:

17 N ana, kei te haere mai nga ra e kawea ai nga mea katoa o tou whare, me nga mea kua rongoatia nei e ou matua taea noatia tenei ra, ki Papurona: e kore tetahi mea e mahue, e ai ta Ihowa.

‘Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and what your fathers have accumulated until this day, shall be carried to Babylon; nothing shall be left,’ says the Lord.

18 A ka tangohia e ratou etahi o au tama e puta mai i roto i a koe, e whanau mau; a hei unaka ratou i roto i te whare o te kingi o Papurona.

‘And they shall take away some of your sons who will descend from you, whom you will beget; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.’”

19 A no ra ko Hetekia ki a Ihaia, He pai te kupu a Ihowa i korerotia mai na e koe. I mea ano hoki ia, Ehara oti i te pai ki te mau te rongo me te pono i oku ra?

So Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of the Lord which you have spoken is good!” For he said, “Will there not be peace and truth at least in my days?” Death of Hezekiah

20 N a, ko era atu meatanga a Hetekia me ana mahi toa katoa, me tana hanganga i te puna, i te awakeri, a whakaputaina ana e ia he wai ki te pa, kihai ianei ena i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Hura?

Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah—all his might, and how he made a pool and a tunnel and brought water into the city— are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

21 N a ka moe a Hetekia ki ona matua, a ko tana tama, ko Manahi, te kingi i muri i a ia.

So Hezekiah rested with his fathers. Then Manasseh his son reigned in his place.
