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 was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him: 'Thus saith the LORD: Set thy house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.'

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

Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto 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: 'Remember now, O LORD, I beseech Thee, how I have walked before Thee in truth and with a whole heart, and have done that which is good in Thy sight.' And Hezekiah wept sore.

4 Hichun Pakai akonin Isaiah henga thuhil ahungin:

Then came the word of the LORD 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 saith the LORD, the God of David thy father: I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears; behold, I will add unto 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 Assyria; and I will defend this city.

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 the sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that 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 cause the shadow of the dial, which is gone down on the sun-dial of Ahaz, to return backward ten degrees.' So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down.

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

The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, 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 noontide of my days I shall go, even to the gates of the nether-world; I am deprived of 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, even the LORD in the land of the living; I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world.

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 habitation is plucked up and carried away from me as a shepherd's tent; I have rolled up like a weaver my life; He will cut me off from the thrum; from day even to night wilt Thou 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.

The more I make myself like unto a lion until morning, the more it breaketh all my bones; from day even to night wilt Thou 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.

Like a swallow or a crane, so do I chatter, I do moan as a dove; mine eyes fail with looking upward. O LORD, I am oppressed, be Thou my surety.

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? He hath both spoken unto me, and Himself hath done it; I shall go softly all my years for 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, by these things men live, and altogether therein is the life of my spirit; wherefore recover Thou 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, for my peace I had great bitterness; but Thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption; for 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 the nether-world cannot praise Thee, death cannot celebrate Thee; they that go down into the pit cannot hope 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 praise Thee, as I do this day; the father to the children shall make known Thy truth.

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.

The LORD is ready to save me; therefore we will sing songs to the stringed instruments 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.”

And Isaiah said: 'Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it for a plaster upon the boil, and he shall recover.'

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

And Hezekiah said. 'What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD?'
