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 was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Set thy house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.

²Ipapo akatendeukira kumadziro, akanyengetera kuna Jehovha, akati,

²Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto Jehovah, saying,

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

³Remember now, O Jehovah, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.

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

⁴And it came to pass, before Isaiah was gone out into the middle part of the city, that the word of Jehovah came to 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.

⁵Turn back, and say to Hezekiah the prince of my people, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee; on the third day thou shalt go up unto 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 will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee 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.

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

⁷And Isaiah said, Take a cake of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.

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

⁸And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that Jehovah will heal me, and that I shall go up unto the house of Jehovah the third day?

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 said, This shall be the sign unto thee from Jehovah, that Jehovah will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps?

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

¹⁰And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to decline ten steps: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten steps.

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

¹¹And Isaiah the prophet cried unto Jehovah; and he brought the shadow ten steps backward, by which it had gone down on the dial of Ahaz.

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

¹²At that time Berodach-baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah; for he had 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 hearkened unto 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 showed them not.

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

¹⁴Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country, even from Babylon.

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

¹⁵And he said, What have they seen in thy house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in my house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not showed them.

¹⁶Ipapo Isaya akati kuna Hezekia, Inzwa shoko raJehovha.

¹⁶And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the 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.

¹⁷Behold, the days come, that all that is in thy house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith Jehovah.

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

¹⁸And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, whom thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be 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?

¹⁹Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word of Jehovah which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, Is it not so, if peace and truth shall be in my days?

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

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, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

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

²¹And Hezekiah slept with his fathers; and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
