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 Ezechias was sick even to death, and Isaias the son of Amos the prophet came unto him, and said to him: Thus saith the Lord: Take order with thy house, for thou shalt die, and not live.

2 Hezekiah in hiche thuhil ajah phat chun, bang langa amai aheijin Pakai kom; a ataovin,

And Ezechias turned his face toward the wall, and 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 said: I beseech thee, O Lord, remember how I have walked before thee in truth, and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Ezechias wept with great weeping.

4 Hichun Pakai akonin Isaiah henga thuhil ahungin:

And the word of the Lord came to Isaias, 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 Ezechias: Thus saith the Lord the God of David thy father: I have heard thy prayer, and I have seen thy tears: behold I will add to thy days fifteen years:

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 deliver thee and this city out of 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 shall be a sign to thee from the Lord, that the Lord will do this word which he hath 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 bring again the shadow of the lines, by which it is now gone down in the sun dial of Achaz with the sun, ten lines backward. And the sun returned ten lines by the degrees by which it was gone down.

9 Leng Hezekiah a hung dam sel phat in hiche jaila hi asunin ahi:

The writing of Ezechias king of Juda, when he had been sick, and was recovered of 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 midst of my days I shall go to the gates of hell: I sought for the residue 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 shall not see the Lord God in the land of the living. I shall behold man no more, nor the inhabitant 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 generation is at an end, and it is rolled away from me, as a shepherd’s tent. My life is cut off, as by a weaver: whilst I was yet but beginning, he out me off: from morning even to night thou wilt make an end of me.

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 till morning, as a lion so hath he broken all my bones: from morning even to night thou wilt make an end of me.

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 like a young swallow, I will meditate like a dove: my eyes are weakened looking upward: Lord, I suffer violence, answer thou for me.

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 shall I say, or what shall he answer for me, whereas he himself hath done it? I will recount to thee 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 man’s life be such, and the life of my spirit be in such things as these, thou shalt correct me, and make 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 is my bitterness most bitter: but thou best delivered my soul that it should not perish, thou hast cast all my sins behind thy 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 shall not confess to thee, neither shall death praise thee: nor shall they that go down into the pit, look for thy 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, he shall give praise to thee, as I do this day: the father shall make thy truth known to the children.

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 Isaias had ordered that they should take a lump of figs, and lay it as it plaster upon the wound, and that he should be healed.

22 Chuin Hezekiah in adongin, “Pakai Houin'a kache ding ahi tiphot chetna melchih na chu ipiham?”

And Ezechias bed said: What shall be the sign that I shall go up to the house of the Lord?
