¹Zvino namazuva iwayo Hezekia akarwara, kusvikira pakufa. Muporofita Isaya mwanakomana waAmozi akasvika kwaari, akati kwaari, Zvanzi naJehovha, Chiraira nhaka yako, nekuti uchafa, haungararami.

¹In those days hath Hezekiah been sick unto death, and come unto him doth Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet, and saith unto him, `Thus said Jehovah: Give a charge to thy house, for thou art dying, and dost not live.`

²Ipapo akatendeukira kumadziro, akanyengetera kuna Jehovha, akati,

²And he turneth round his face unto the wall, and prayeth unto Jehovah, saying,

³Dorangarirai henyu, Jehovha, kuti ndakafamba pamberi penyu nechokwadi nomoyo wose, ndikaita zvakanaka pamberi penyu. Hezekia akachema kwazvo.

³`I pray Thee, O Jehovah, remember, I pray Thee, how I have walked habitually before Thee in truth, and with a perfect heart, and that which [is] good in Thine eyes I have done;` and Hezekiah weepeth — a great weeping.

⁴Zvino Isaya wakange achigere kubuda paruvazhe rwapakati, shoko raJehovha rikauya kwaari, richiti,

⁴And it cometh to pass — Isaiah hath not gone out to the middle court — that the word of Jehovah hath been unto him, saying,

⁵Dzokazve, undoti kuna Hezekia, mutungamiriri wavanhu vangu, Zvanzi naJehovha Mwari waDhavhidhi baba vako, ndanzwa kunyengetera kwako, ndaona misodzi yako; zvino tarira, ndichakuporesa; nezuva rechitatu uchakwira kuimba yaJehovha.

⁵`Turn back, and thou hast said unto Hezekiah, leader of My people: Thus said Jehovah, God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tear, lo, I give healing to thee, on the third day thou dost go up to the house of Jehovah;

⁶Ndichawedzera pamazuva ako makore ane gumi namashanu; ndichakurwira iwe neguta rino paruoko rwamambo weAsiria, ndichadzivira guta rino nokuda kwangu, uye nokuda kwaDhavhidhi muranda wangu.

⁶and I have added to thy days fifteen years, and out of the hand of the king of Asshur I deliver thee and this city, and have covered over this city for Mine own sake, and for the sake of David My servant.`

⁷Ipapo Isaya akati, Uyai nebundu ramawonde. Ivo vakauya naro, vakariisa pamamota, akapora.

⁷And Isaiah saith, `Take ye a cake of figs;` and they take and lay [it] on the boil, and he reviveth.

⁸Zvino Hezekia akati kuna Isaya, Chiratidzo chichava cheiko kuti Jehovha uchandiporesa, ndikwire kumba kwaJehovha nezuva rechitatu here?

⁸And Hezekiah saith unto Isaiah, `What [is] the sign that Jehovah doth give healing to me, that I have gone up on the third day to the house of Jehovah?`

⁹Isaya akati, Ichi chichava chiratidzo chaJehovha kwauri, kuti Jehovha uchaita sezvaakataura. Unoda kuti mumvuri upfuurire mberi mitaro inegumi, kana udzoke mitaro inegumi here?

⁹And Isaiah saith, `This [is] to thee the sign from Jehovah, that Jehovah doth the thing that He hath spoken — The shadow hath gone on ten degrees, or it doth turn back ten degrees?`

¹⁰Hezekia akapindura, akati, Zvakareruka kuti mumvuri upfuurire mberi mitaro inegumi; kwete, mumvuri ngaudzoke mitaro inegumi.

¹⁰And Hezekiah saith, `It hath been light for the shadow to incline ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow turn backward ten degrees.`

¹¹Ipapo muporofita akadana kuna Jehovha, akadzosera mumvuri shure mitaro inegumi pachiratidzo chenguva chaAhazi.

¹¹And Isaiah the prophet calleth unto Jehovah, and He bringeth back the shadow by the degrees that it had gone down in the degrees of Ahaz — backward ten degrees.

¹²Zvino nenguva iyo Bherodhaki- bharadhani mwanakomana waBharadhani, mambo weBhabhironi, akatuma tsamba nechipo kuna Hezekia; nekuti wakange anzwa kuti Hezekia wairwara.

¹²At that time hath Berodach-Baladan son of Baladan king of Babylon sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah, for he heard that Hezekiah had been sick;

¹³Hezekia akavanzwa, akavaratidza imba yose yakanga ine zvinokosha zvake, sirivha, nendarama, nezvinonhuhwira, namafuta anokosha, neimba yaiva nenhumbi dzake dzokurwa nadzo, nezvose zvakanga zviri pafuma yake; kwakanga kusisina chinhu mumba make, kana muushe hwake hwose, chavasina kuratidzwa naHezekia.

¹³and Hezekiah hearkeneth unto them, and sheweth them all the house of his treasury, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the good ointment, and all the house of his vessels, and all that hath been found in his treasuries; there hath not been a thing that Hezekiah hath not shewed them, in his house, and in all his dominion.

¹⁴Zvino muporofita Isaya akasvika kuna mambo Hezekia, akati kwaari, Ko varume ava vakati kudini? Vasvika kwauri vachibvepiko? Hezekia akati, Vabva kunyika iri kure, Bhabhironi.

¹⁴And Isaiah the prophet cometh in unto king Hezekiah, and saith unto him, `What said these men? and whence come they unto thee?` And Hezekiah saith, `From a land afar off they have come — from Babylon.`

¹⁵Akati, Vakawonei mumba mako? Hezekia akapindura, akati, Vakaona zvose zviri mumba mangu, hakune chinhu pakati pefuma yangu chandisina kuvaratidza.

¹⁵And he saith, `What saw they in thy house?` and Hezekiah saith, `All that [is] in my house they saw; there hath not been a thing that I have not shewed them among my treasures.`

¹⁶Ipapo Isaya akati kuna Hezekia, Inzwa shoko raJehovha.

¹⁶And Isaiah saith unto Hezekiah, `Hear a word of Jehovah:

¹⁷Tarira, mazuva achasvika, nenguva iyo zvose zviri mumba mako nezvose zvakaunganidzwa namadzibaba ako kusvikira zuva ranhasi zvichaiswa Bhabhironi; hakuna chinhu chichasiiwa, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.

¹⁷Lo, days are coming, and borne hath been all that [is] in thy house, and that thy father have treasured up till this day, to Babylon; there is not left a thing, said Jehovah;

¹⁸Vamwe vavanakomana vako, vachabva kwauri, vauchabereka, vachatapwa. vachava varanda mumba mamambo weBhabhironi.

¹⁸and of thy sons who go out from thee, whom thou begettest, they take away, and they have been eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.`

¹⁹Ipapo Hezekia akati kuna Isaya, Shoko raJehovha, ramataura, rakanaka haro. Akatiwo, Ko handizvo here, kana rugare nechokwadi zviripo hazvo pamazuva angu?

¹⁹And Hezekiah saith unto Isaiah, `Good [is] the word of Jehovah that thou hast spoken;` and he saith, `Is it not — if peace and truth are in my days?`

²⁰Zvino mamwe mabasa aHezekia, nesimba rake, nokuita kwake dziva nomugero, nokusvitsa kwake mvura muguta, hazvina kunyorwa here mubhuku yaMakoronike amadzimambo aJudha?

²⁰And the rest of the matters of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made the pool, and the conduit, and bringeth in the waters to the city, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?

²¹Hezekia akavata namadzibaba ake, Manase mwanakomana wake akamutevera paushe.

²¹And Hezekiah lieth with his fathers, and reign doth Manasseh his son in his stead.
