Adravo 'Bädri'ba Ezekia ro ndi Edena be
(Yesaya 38:1-8Yesaya 21-222 Ambâ 32:24-26)
1 Tuse kai si Ezekia a'dote adravo ro ṛo ti odrane odra. Nebi Yesaya ŋgwa Amoza ro ikyite nda ondrene ago atate ndäri ekye: “Ono ni tase OPI kabe atana owo ekye: ‘Mira ta cini ŋgyero katidri miro ri tana nyaoye odrane, miri adrine i'do.’ ”
2 'Dooko Ezekia za mi ndaro te tiṛi lomvo ro, ago mätu OPI te ekye: 3 “OPI, molo'baru miri, miyi ta maro, tana mindurute miri 'diriro ago ya cini si, ago ondoalo mojote ŋgase ŋgye 'do oyene ayani mi mile.” Ndi nda eto liyi te rritiro.
4 'Dooko dri teinye Yesaya ri ofoako ni kitoriya goko zo'desi miri ro ro yasi oko OPI ititate ndäri ekye: 5 “Migo kovole ago nyata Ezekia miri'ba lidri maro ro ri mikye: Ono ni tase OPI, Lu zutu miro Dawidi ro kabe atana owo ekye meri mätu miro te, ago mandre miendre miro te. Medena mi 'da, ago u'du nina si nyoyina 'da Yekalu ya. 6 Mago ma'bana mi 'da orine lidriidriro ndroa na 'butealo fonji. Mapana mi 'da ndi 'bakici Yerusalema ono be ni drì 'bädri'ba Asaria ro ro yasi, ago magagana 'bakici ono ndi ta ma modo oro rota ago ta ruindu'ba maro Dawidi rota.”
7 'Dooko Yesaya atate ekye: “Nyèzi kulugbui ki'du ro. Ago mi'ba ruindu'bai kuruyi ago ko'bayi kure Ezekia ro dri nda kederu robe.” 8 'Bädri'ba Ezekia eji Yesaya te ekye: “Taka'daro se unizana anjioko OPI koye ma edene ago u'du nina si maoye oyine Yekalu ya ni e'diya?”
9 Yesaya logotate ekye: “OPI ozona taka'daro ndi miri ka'dazana anjioko nda koye tase nda ko'babe oyene. Inye'do mile lindri ri oyine 'dawo'dawo 'butealo mileyaro, kode 'dawo'dawo 'butealo kovolero ya?”
10 Ezekia zatadrite ekye: “Orivoya rritiako lindri o'bane oyine 'dawo'dawo na 'butealo mileyaro ni o'bane ogone kovolero 'dawo'dawo 'butealo ri.” 11 'Dooko nebi Yesaya mätu OPI te, ago OPI 'ba lindri te ogone kovolero 'dawo'dawo 'butealo ago tako mi ŋga saa ondrero se Aza 'bädri'ba kedrebe kotopa dri ana rote.

(Yesaya 39:1-8)
12 Tu gi ana si Merodaka Baladana, ŋgwa Baladana ro, 'bädri'ba Babelona ro, zo lazo'bai te waraga be ndi ŋgapäṛi be Ezekia ri; tana nda eri tate ekye Ezekia orivoya adravoro. 13 Ezekia ru lazo'bai te, ago ka'da ŋgadriamba ndaro te ànyari, mo'di ndi logo läguläguro be, ŋga tägyi ndeṛindeṛi ro ndi ido lagyeamba be, ndi lakazà cini kyila ro ndaro be. Ŋga se cini orivoya vo ŋgaodroro ndaro ya, ago ŋga aza ta ko zo ndaro ya kode 'bädri ndaro ya se nda ka'da kote ànyari. 14 'Dooko nebi Yesaya ikyite 'Bädri'ba Ezekia re ago eji nda te ekye: “Lidri kwoi ikyiyite ni eŋwaro ago atayi miri ekye e'diya?”
Ezekia zatadrite ekye: “Ànya ikyiyite ni 'bädri lozo yasi, ni Babelona yasi.”
15 Nda atate ekye: “Ànya ndreyi e'diyi zo'desi miri ro ya ya?”
Ezekia zatadrite ekye: “Ànya ndreyi vo ŋgaro cini zo maro ya te, ŋga aza ta ko vo ŋgaodroro maro ya märi ka'daako ànyari.”
16 'Dooko Yesaya atate Ezekia ri ekye: “Nyeri ata OPI ro. 17 Tu kate eziikyi, ŋgase cini orivoya zo'desi miri ro miro ya, se zutui miro kolodrobe kuru le tu ono si ono, äŋgyina 'da Babelona ya; ŋga aza e'bene i'do OPI atani inye. 18 Rukä ŋgwaàgoro modo miro ro äruna 'da di; ago a'bana ànya 'da a'done roti ro zo'desi miri ro 'bädri'ba Babelona ro roya.”
19 'Dooko Ezekia logotate Yesaya ri ekye: “Ata OPI ro mipebe ono orivoya kado.” Tana nda usutavona te anjioko taliatokpe ndi dritai be kaoye a'done tu oriro ndaro rosi.

Hezekiah Gets Sick and Almost Dies
(2 Chronicles 32.24-26Isaiah 38.1-8Isaiah 21Isaiah 22)
1 About this time, Hezekiah got sick and was almost dead. Isaiah the prophet went in and told him, “The Lord says you won't ever get well. You are going to die, so you had better start doing what needs to be done.”
2 Hezekiah turned toward the wall and prayed, 3 “Don't forget that I have been faithful to you, Lord. I have obeyed you with all my heart, and I do whatever you say is right.” After this, he cried bitterly.
4 Before Isaiah got to the middle court of the palace, 5 the Lord sent him back to Hezekiah with this message:
Hezekiah, you are the ruler of my people, and I am the Lord God, who was worshiped by your ancestor David. I heard you pray, and I saw you cry. I will heal you, so that three days from now you will be able to worship in my temple. 6 I will let you live 15 years more, while I protect you and your city from the king of Assyria. I will defend this city as an honor to me and to my servant David.
7 Then Isaiah said to the king's servants, “Bring some mashed figs and place them on the king's open sore. He will then get well.”
8 Hezekiah asked Isaiah, “Can you prove that the Lord will heal me, so that I can worship in his temple in three days?”
9 Isaiah replied, “The Lord will prove to you that he will keep his promise. Will the shadow made by the setting sun on the stairway go forward ten steps or back ten steps?”
10 “It's normal for the sun to go forward,” Hezekiah answered. “But how can it go back?”
11 Isaiah prayed, and the Lord made the shadow go back ten steps on the stairway built for King Ahaz.
The Lord Is Still with Hezekiah
(Isaiah 39.1-8)
12 Merodach Baladan, the son of Baladan, was now king of Babylonia. And when he learned that Hezekiah had been sick, he sent messengers with letters and a gift for him. 13 Hezekiah welcomed the messengers and showed them all the silver, the gold, the spices, and the fine oils that were in his storehouse. He even showed them where he kept his weapons. Nothing in his palace or in his entire kingdom was kept hidden from them.
14 Isaiah asked Hezekiah, “Where did these men come from? What did they want?”
“They came all the way from Babylonia,” Hezekiah answered.
15 “What did you show them?” Isaiah asked.
Hezekiah answered, “I showed them everything in my kingdom.”
16 Then Isaiah told Hezekiah:
I have a message for you from the Lord. 17 One day everything you and your ancestors have stored up will be taken to Babylonia. The Lord has promised that nothing will be left. 18 Some of your own sons will be taken to Babylonia, where they will be disgraced and made to serve in the king's palace.
19 Hezekiah thought, “At least our nation will be at peace for a while.” So he told Isaiah, “The message you brought me from the Lord is good.”
Hezekiah Dies
(2 Chronicles 32.322 33)
20 Everything else Hezekiah did while he was king, including his brave deeds and how he made the upper pool and tunnel bring water into Jerusalem, is written in The History of the Kings of Judah. 21 Hezekiah died, and his son Manasseh became king.
