Isaiah 38
1 Hiche phat laichun Hezekiah chu thipai jeng ding dinmun in anatan ahileh Amoz chapa themgao Isaiah in ahung villin ahi. Lengpa chu hiche thuhil hi apen ahi: “Hiche hi Pakai in asei chu ahi: 'na insung a umding dolin umsah tan, ajehchu nangma nahung thiding ahitai. Hiche nat na'a kon'a hi nadam doh joulou ding ahitai.”
In those days Hezekiah became ill and was near death. And so, Isaiah, the son of Amoz, the prophet, entered to him, and he said to him: “Thus says the Lord: Put your house in order, for you shall die, and you shall not live.”
2 Hezekiah in hiche thuhil ajah phat chun, bang langa amai aheijin Pakai kom; a ataovin,
And Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and he prayed to the Lord.
3 “Aw Pakai, neihin geldoh in, ichangeiya naga dia kana kitah hitam, lungkhat tah a nangma kana jen le'a, na lunglhaina bou kanabol jing hilou ham,” tin alhun haka in akaptan ahi.
And he said: “I beg you, Lord, I beseech you, to remember how I walked before you in truth and with a whole heart, and that I have done what is good in your sight.” And Hezekiah wept with a great weeping.
4 Hichun Pakai akonin Isaiah henga thuhil ahungin:
And the word of the Lord came to Isaiah, saying:
5 “Hezekiah henga chekit inlang gasei peh in, hiche hi napu napa David Pakai, Pathenin asei ahi: Na taona chu kana ngaijin, na nitlhi lon jong chu kana mun ahi, na hinkho kumsom leh nga kajoppeh beding,
“Go and say to Hezekiah: Thus says the Lord, the God of David, your father: I have heard your prayer, and I have seen your tears. Behold, I will add fifteen years to your days.
6 chuleh nangma leh hiche khopi hi Assyria lengpa a kon'a kahuhdoh ding ahi. Ahi, hiche khopi hi kaveng bit ding ahi.
And I will rescue you and this city from the hand of the king of the Assyrians, and I will protect it.
7 “Chuleh hichehi Pakai a kon'a melchihna hung kipe chu ahi. Akitepna jouse asuhbulhit ding ahi ti hettoh sahna ahije.
And this will be a sign for you from the Lord, that the Lord will do this word, which he has spoken:
8 Keiman nisa lim Ahaz chunga lhumsah sachu kalsom ka nungchon ding ahi!” ati. Hitichun nisa lim chu kalsom in akinung chon tan ahi.
Behold, I will cause the shadow of the lines, which has now descended on the sundial of Ahaz, to move in reverse for ten lines.” And so, the sun moved backward by ten lines, through the degrees by which it had descended.
9 Leng Hezekiah a hung dam sel phat in hiche jaila hi asunin ahi:
The writing of Hezekiah, the king of Judah, after he had fallen ill and had recovered from his sickness:
10 Keiman kaseijin, “Ka hinkho hoilai tah'a thina mun tua kalut ngaija ham? Kumkho kanei nalai chengse eiki lahpeh got na ham? (Sheol h7585)
“I said: In the middle of my days, I will go to the gates of Hell. So I sought the remainder of my years. (Sheol h7585)
11 Keiman kaseijin, “Mihing gam'a kachen laisen Pakai Pathen chu a itih'a kamu kitlou ding ahitai. Kaloi kajol ho avel'a kanung mu kit tah louhel ding hiche vannoi a chengho tojong ka umkhom kit tahlou helding ahi.
I said: I will not see the Lord God in the land of the living. I will no longer behold man, nor the habitation of rest.
12 Hui le go in kelngoi chingho ponbuh asemmang bangin ka hinkho jong hi a kisem mangin ahi. Pon khonghon thilbu akon'a pat atan bangun, kahinkho hi ki suhchom'a ahi. Hetman louvin, ka hinkho hi ana kichaiya ahitai.
My longevity has been taken away; it has been folded up and taken from me, like the tent of a shepherd. My life has been cut off, as if by a weaver. While I was still beginning, he cut me off. From morning until evening, you have marked out my limits.
13 Jan khovah in lungneng tah in kangah in, ahin keipi bahkai hon ei boh kabang jengin ahi. Hetman louvin ka hinkho chu abeitan ahi.
I hoped, even until morning. Like a lion, so has he crushed all my bones. From morning until evening, you have marked my limits.
14 Anangol bangin pelpa ham, ahlouleh va keng sang ham bangin kaham in, chuleh hiti chun vakhu puldou bangin pul kadou vin ahi. Panpi ngaichan vanlam kavet nan kamit teni akham lhatan ahi. Genthei in ka ume, Pakai, neipanpin.
I will cry out, like a young swallow. I will meditate, like a dove. My eyes have been weakened by gazing upward. O Lord, I suffer violence! Answer in my favor.
15 Ahin ipi kasei theiding ham? Ajehchu amatah in hiche natna hi ahin lhut ahije. Tun kakum lhung keija kineosah tah a lam kajot ding ahi. Ajeh chu hiche lung gentheina hi kana hetsa ahitai.
What can I say, or what would he answer me, since he himself has done this? I will acknowledge to you all my years, in the bitterness of my soul.
16 Pakai na thununna hi aphai, ajehchu hinna leh damtheina hi aphai. Ajehchu hinna leh damtheina ahi. Damna neipe kitnin, nei hinsah kittan ahi!
O Lord, if such is life, and if the life of my spirit is of such a kind, may you correct me and may you cause me to live.
17 Ahi, hiche lung gentheina kaum chu aphai, ajehchu nangman thina'a konin nei huhdoh in chuleh ka chonset na jouse nei ngaidam in ahi.
Behold, in peace my bitterness is most bitter. But you have rescued my soul, so that it would not perish. You have cast all my sins behind your back.
18 Ajeh chu athin athin navahchoi thei lou ding ahi; aw sangtah'a na vahchoi thei lou diu ahi. Thina lhankhuh jonsuh hon, na kitahna'a kinepna anei tah lou diu ahi. (Sheol h7585)
For Hell will not confess to you, and death will not praise you. Those who descend into the pit will not hope for your truth. (Sheol h7585)
19 Tunia keiman ka vahchoi banga hi mihing hon bou na vahchoi thei diu ahi. Tahsan umtah nahi khangkhat nakon khang kitna aseipeh uvin ahi.
The living, the living, these will give praise to you, as I also do this day! The father will make the truth known to the sons.
20 Ngaito tem in-Pakai chu ei sudam din kigosan aume! Nitin ka hinkhon tumging tothon Pakai chu ka vahchoi ding ahi- Pakai Houin na.
O Lord, save me! And we will sing our psalms, all the days of our life, in the house of the Lord.”
21 Isaiah in Hezekiah lhacha natong ho kom'a ana seijin, “Theichang theiba ho akonin tina lou semun lang, chuleh a uilut kim vel'a nu uvin lang, chuteng chuleh Hezekiah chu hung damdoh ding ahi.”
Now Isaiah had ordered them to take a paste of figs, and to spread it like plaster over the wound, so that he would be healed.
22 Chuin Hezekiah in adongin, “Pakai Houin'a kache ding ahi tiphot chetna melchih na chu ipiham?”
And Hezekiah said, “What will be the sign that I may go up to the house of the Lord?”
