Bible:2 Kings 20

2 Kings 20 - Versions
2 Kings 20 Text (WEB) In those days was Hezekiah sick to death. Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, "Thus says Yahweh, 'Set your house in order; for you shall die, and not live.'" Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to Yahweh, saying, "Remember now, Yahweh, 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." Hezekiah wept bitterly. It happened, before Isaiah had gone out into the middle part of the city, that the word of Yahweh came to him, saying, "Turn back, and tell Hezekiah the prince of my people, 'Thus says Yahweh, the God of David your father, "I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Behold, I will heal you. On the third day, you shall go up to the house of Yahweh. I 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."'" Isaiah said, "Take a cake of figs." They took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered. Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "What shall be the sign that Yahweh will heal me, and that I shall go up to the house of Yahweh the third day?" Isaiah said, "This shall be the sign to you from Yahweh, that Yahweh will do the thing that he has spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps?" Hezekiah answered, "It is a light thing for the shadow to go forward ten steps. Nay, but let the shadow return backward ten steps." Isaiah the prophet cried to Yahweh; and he brought the shadow ten steps backward, by which it had gone down on the dial of Ahaz. At 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. Hezekiah listened to 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 didn't show them. Then 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 are come from a far country, even from Babylon." He 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." Isaiah said to Hezekiah, "Hear the word of Yahweh. 'Behold, the days come, that all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have laid up in store to this day, shall be carried to Babylon. Nothing shall be left,' says Yahweh. 'Of your sons who shall issue from you, whom you shall father, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.'" Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "The word of Yahweh which you have spoken is good." He said moreover, "Isn't it so, if peace and truth shall be in my days?" Now 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? Hezekiah slept with his fathers; and Manasseh his son reigned in his place.
2 Kings 20 Text (Hebrew) בימים ההם חלה חזקיהו למות ויבא אליו ישעיהו בן־אמוץ הנביא ויאמר אליו כה־אמר יהוה צו לביתך כי מת אתה ולא תחיה׃ ויסב את־פניו אל־הקיר ויתפלל אל־יהוה לאמר׃ אנה יהוה זכר־נא את אשר התהלכתי לפניך באמת ובלבב שלם והטוב בעיניך עשיתי ויבך חזקיהו בכי גדול׃ ס ויהי ישעיהו לא יצא התיכנה ודבר־יהוה היה אליו לאמר׃ שוב ואמרת אל־חזקיהו נגיד־עמי כה־אמר יהוה אלהי דוד אביך שמעתי את־תפלתך ראיתי את־דמעתך הנני רפא לך ביום השלישי תעלה בית יהוה׃ והספתי על־ימיך חמש עשרה שנה ומכף מלך־אשור אצילך ואת העיר הזאת וגנותי על־העיר הזאת למעני ולמען דוד עבדי׃ ויאמר ישעיהו קחו דבלת תאנים ויקחו וישימו על־השחין ויחי׃ ויאמר חזקיהו אל־ישעיהו מה אות כי־ירפא יהוה לי ועליתי ביום השלישי בית יהוה׃ ויאמר ישעיהו זה־לך האות מאת יהוה כי יעשה יהוה את־הדבר אשר דבר הלך הצל עשר מעלות אם־ישוב עשר מעלות׃ ויאמר יחזקיהו נקל לצל לנטות עשר מעלות לא כי ישוב הצל אחרנית עשר מעלות׃ ויקרא ישעיהו הנביא אל־יהוה וישב את־הצל במעלות אשר ירדה במעלות אחז אחרנית עשר מעלות׃ ף בעת ההיא שלח בראדך בלאדן בן־בלאדן מלך־בבל ספרים ומנחה אל־חזקיהו כי שמע כי חלה חזקיהו׃ וישמע עליהם חזקיהו ויראם את־כל־בית נכתהק את־הכסף ואת־הזהב ואת־הבשמים ואת שמן הטוב ואת בית כליו ואת כל־אשר נמצא באוצרתיו לא־היה דבר אשר לא־הראם חזקיהו בביתו ובכל־ממשלתו׃ ויבא ישעיהו הנביא אל־המלך חזקיהו ויאמר אליו מה אמרו האנשים האלה ומאין יבאו אליך ויאמר חזקיהו מארץ רחוקה באו מבבל׃ ויאמר מה ראו בביתך ויאמר חזקיהו את כל־אשר בביתי ראו לא־היה דבר אשר לא־הראיתם באצרתי׃ ויאמר ישעיהו אל־חזקיהו שמע דבר־יהוה׃ הנה ימים באים ונשא כל־אשר בביתך ואשר אצרו אבתיך עד־היום הזה בבלה לא־יותר דבר אמר יהוה׃ ומבניך אשר יצאו ממך אשר תוליד והיו סריסים בהיכל מלך בבל׃ ויאמר חזקיהו אל־ישעיהו טוב דבר־יהוה אשר דברת ויאמר הלוא אם־שלום ואמת יהיה בימי׃ ויתר דברי חזקיהו וכל־גבורתו ואשר עשה את־הברכה ואת־התעלה ויבא את־המים העירה הלא־הם כתובים על־ספר דברי הימים למלכי יהודה׃ וישכב חזקיהו עם־אבתיו וימלך מנשה בנו תחתיו׃ ף

2 Kings 20 Text (Latin) In diebus illis ægrotavit Ezechias usque ad mortem : et venit ad eum Isaias filius Amos, propheta, dixitque ei : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Præcipe domui tuæ : morieris enim tu, et non vives. Qui convertit faciem suam ad parietem, et oravit Dominum, dicens : Obsecro, Domine : memento, quæso, quomodo ambulaverim coram te in veritate, et in corde perfecto, et quod placitum est coram te fecerim. Flevit itaque Ezechias fletu magno. Et antequam egrederetur Isaias mediam partem atrii, factus est sermo Domini ad eum, dicens : Revertere, et dic Ezechiæ duci populi mei : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus David patris tui : Audivi orationem tuam, et vidi lacrimas tuas, et ecce sanavi te : die tertio ascendes templum Domini. Et addam diebus tuis quindecim annos : sed et de manu regis Assyriorum liberabo te, et civitatem hanc, et protegam urbem istam propter me, et propter David servum meum. Dixitque Isaias : Afferte massam ficorum. Quam cum attulissent, et posuissent super ulcus ejus, curatus est. Dixerat autem Ezechias ad Isaiam : Quod erit signum, quia Dominus me sanabit, et quia ascensurus sum die tertia templum Domini ? Cui ait Isaias : Hoc erit signum a Domino, quod facturus sit Dominus sermonem, quem locutus est : vis ut ascendat umbra decem lineis, an ut revertatur totidem gradibus ? Et ait Ezechias : Facile est umbram crescere decem lineis : nec hoc volo ut fiat, sed ut revertatur retrorsum decem gradibus. Invocavit itaque Isaias propheta Dominum, et reduxit umbram per lineas, quibus jam descenderat in horologio Achaz, retrorsum decem gradibus. In tempore illo misit Berodach Baladan, filius Baladan, rex Babyloniorum, litteras et munera ad Ezechiam : audierat enim quod ægrotasset Ezechias. Lætatus est autem in adventu eorum Ezechias, et ostendit eis domum aromatum, et aurum et argentum, et pigmenta varia, unguenta quoque, et domum vasorum suorum, et omnia quæ habere poterat in thesauris suis. Non fuit quod non monstraret eis Ezechias in domo sua, et in omni potestate sua. Venit autem Isaias propheta ad regem Ezechiam : dixitque ei : Quid dixerunt viri isti ? aut unde venerunt ad te ? Cui ait Ezechias : De terra longinqua venerunt ad me, de Babylone. At ille respondit : Quid viderunt in domo tua ? Ait Ezechias : Omnia quæcumque sunt in domo mea, viderunt : nihil est quod non monstraverim eis in thesauris meis. Dixit itaque Isaias Ezechiæ : Audi sermonem Domini : Ecce dies venient, et auferentur omnia, quæ sunt in domo tua, et quæ condiderunt patres tui usque in diem hanc, in Babylonem : non remanebit quidquam, ait Dominus. Sed et de filiis tuis qui egredientur ex te, quos generabis, tollentur, et erunt eunuchi in palatio regis Babylonis. Dixit Ezechias ad Isaiam : Bonus sermo Domini, quem locutus es : sit pax et veritas in diebus meis. Reliqua autem sermonum Ezechiæ, et omnis fortitudo ejus, et quomodo fecerit piscinam, et aquæductum, et introduxerit aquas in civitatem, nonne hæc scripta sunt in libro sermonum dierum regum Juda ? Dormivitque Ezechias cum patribus suis, et regnavit Manasses filius ejus pro eo.
2 Kings 20 Text (KJV) In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live. Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, saying, I beseech thee, O LORD, remember now 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. And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying, Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the LORD, 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 the LORD. And 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. And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered. And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the third day? And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forth ten degrees, or go back ten degrees? And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees. And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz. At 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. And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and shewed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not. Then 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. And he said, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All the things that are in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them. And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD. Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house,and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD. And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon. Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. And he said, Is it not good, if peace and truth be in my days? And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made a pool, and a conduit, and brought water into the city, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And Hezekiah slept with his fathers: and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
