II Kings 20

bayyamim hahem khalah khizqiyyahu lamut vayyavo elayw yeshayahu ven-amots hannavi vayyomer elayw koh-amar Adonai tsav levetekha ki met attah velo tikhyeh

In those days Hezekiah fell dangerously ill. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz came and said to him, “Thus said GOD: Set your affairs in order, for you are going to die; you will not get well.”

vayyassev et-panayw el-haqqir vayyitpallel el-Adonai lemor

Thereupon Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to GOD. He said,

annah Adonai zekhor-na et asher hithallakhti lefanekha be'emet uvelevav shalem vehattov be'enekha asiti vayyevk khizqiyyahu bekhi gadol

“Please, O ETERNAL One, remember how I have walked before You sincerely and wholeheartedly, and have done what is pleasing to You.” And Hezekiah wept profusely.

vayehi yeshayahu lo yatsa (hyr) [khatser] hattikhonah udevar-Adonai hayah elayw lemor

Before Isaiah had gone out of the middle court, the word of GOD came to him:

shuv ve'amarta el-khizqiyyahu negid-ammi koh-amar Adonai elohe david avikha shamati et-tefillatekha ra'iti et-dimatekha hinni rofe lakh bayyom hashelishi ta'aleh bet Adonai

“Go back and say to Hezekiah, the ruler of My people: Thus said GOD, the God of your forefather David: I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears. I am going to heal you; on the third day you shall go up to the House of GOD.

vehosafti al-yamekha khamesh esreh shanah umikkaf melekh-ashur atsilekha ve'et ha'ir hazzot vegannoti al-ha'ir hazzot lema'ani ulema'an david avdi

And I will add fifteen years to your life. I will also rescue you and this city from the hands of the king of Assyria. I will protect this city for My sake and for the sake of My servant David.”—

vayyomer yeshayahu qekhu develet te'enim vayyiqkhu vayyasimu al-hashekhin vayyekhi

Then Isaiah said, “Get a cake of figs.” And they got one, and they applied it to the rash, and he recovered.—

vayyomer khizqiyyahu el-yeshayahu mah ot ki-yirpa Adonai li ve'aliti bayyom hashelishi bet Adonai

Hezekiah asked Isaiah, “What is the sign that GOD will heal me and that I shall go up to the House of GOD on the third day?”

vayyomer yeshayahu zeh-llekha ha'ot me'et Adonai ki ya'aseh Adonai et-haddavar asher dibber halakh hatsel eser ma'alot im-yashuv eser ma'alot

Isaiah replied, “This is the sign for you from GOD that GOD will do the thing that was promised: Shall the shadow advance ten steps or recede ten steps?”

vayyomer yekhizqiyyahu naqel latsel lintot eser ma'alot lo khi yashuv hatsel akhorannit eser ma'alot

Hezekiah said, “It is easy for the shadow to lengthen ten steps, but not for the shadow to recede ten steps.”

vayyiqra yeshayahu hannavi el-Adonai vayyashev et-hatsel bamma'alot asher yaredah bema'alot akhaz akhorannit eser ma'alot

So the prophet Isaiah called to GOD, and the shadow that had descended on the dial of Ahaz was made to recede ten steps.

ba'et hahi shalakh berodakh baladan ben-baladan melekh-bavel sefarim uminkhah el-khizqiyyahu ki shama ki khalah khizqiyyahu

At that time, King Berodach -baladan son of Baladan of Babylon sent [envoys with] a letter and a gift to Hezekiah, for he had heard about Hezekiah’s illness.

vayyishma alehem khizqiyyahu vayyarem et-kol-bet nekhotoh et-hakkesef ve'et-hazzahav ve'et-habbesamim ve'et shemen hattov ve'et bet kelayw ve'et kol-asher nimtsa be'otserotayw lo-hayah davar asher lo-heram khizqiyyahu beveto uvekhol-memshalto

Hezekiah heard about them and he showed them all his treasure-house—the silver, the gold, the spices, and the fragrant oil—and his armory, and everything that was to be found in his storehouses. There was nothing in his palace or in all his realm that Hezekiah did not show them.

vayyavo yeshayahu hannavi el-hammelekh khizqiyyahu vayyomer elayw mah ameru ha'anashim ha'elleh ume'ayin yavo'u elekha vayyomer khizqiyyahu me'erets rekhoqah ba'u mibbavel

Then the prophet Isaiah came to King Hezekiah. “What,” he demanded of him, “did those men say to you? Where have they come to you from?” “They have come,” Hezekiah replied, “from a far country, from Babylon.”

vayyomer mah ra'u bevetekha vayyomer khizqiyyahu et kol-asher beveti ra'u lo-hayah davar asher lo-hiritim be'otserotay

Next he asked, “What have they seen in your palace?” And Hezekiah replied, “They have seen everything that is in my palace. There was nothing in my storehouses that I did not show them.”

vayyomer yeshayahu el-khizqiyyahu shema devar-Adonai

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

hinneh yamim ba'im venissa kol-asher bevetekha va'asher atseru avotekha ad-hayyom hazzeh bavelah lo-yivvater davar amar Adonai

A time is coming when everything in your palace that your ancestors have stored up to this day will be carried off to Babylon; nothing will remain behind, said GOD.

umibbanekha asher yetse'u mimmekha asher tolid (yqkh) [yiqqakhu] vehayu sarisim behekhal melekh bavel

And some of your sons, your own issue, whom you will have fathered, will be taken to serve as eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”

vayyomer khizqiyyahu el-yeshayahu tov devar-Adonai asher dibbarta vayyomer halo im-shalom ve'emet yihyeh veyamay

Hezekiah declared to Isaiah, “The word of GOD that you have spoken is good.” For he thought, “It means that safety is assured for my time.”

veyeter divre khizqiyyahu vekhol-gevurato va'asher asah et-habberekhah ve'et-hatte'alah vayyave et-hammayim ha'irah halo-hem ketuvim al-sefer divre hayyamim lemalkhe yehudah

The other events of Hezekiah’s reign, and all his exploits, and how he made the pool and the conduit and brought the water into the city, are recorded in the Annals of the Kings of Judah.

vayyishkav khizqiyyahu im-avotayw vayyimlokh menasheh veno takhtayw

Hezekiah rested with his ancestors, and his son Manasseh succeeded him as king.
