Isaiah 38
1 In those days Hezekiah was sick to death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, Thus says Jehovah, Set thy house in order, for thou shall die, and not live.
Te a tue rhuet ah Hezekiah tah a duek ham rhoela tlo. Te vaengah tonghma Amoz capa Isaiah tah anih taengla ha pawk tih amah te, “BOEIPA loh na imkhui ham n'uen tih a thui coeng dongah na duek pawn ni, na hing mahpawh,” a ti nah.
2 Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed to Jehovah,
Tedae Hezekiah loh a maelhmai te pangbueng taengla a hoi tih BOEIPA taengah thangthui.
3 and said, Remember now, O Jehovah, I beseech thee, 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 greatly.
Te vaengah, “Aw BOEIPA na mikhmuh ah uepomnah neh ka pongpa te khaw ham poek laem lah. Na mikhmuh ah lungbuei a rhuemtuet la a then ni ka saii,” a ti. Te vaengah Hezekiah a rhah rhoe mah hlawk hlawk rhap.
4 Then the word of Jehovah came to Isaiah, saying,
Te dongah BOEIPA ol loh Isaiah taengla ha pawk tih,
5 Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus says Jehovah, the God of David thy father. I have heard thy prayer. I have seen thy tears. Behold, I will add to thy days fifteen years.
Hezekiah taengah cet lamtah thui pah, na pa David kah Pathen Yahovah loh nang kah thangthuinah te ka yaak coeng, na mikphi ka hmuh coeng ti nah. Te dongah na khohnin te kai loh kum hlai nga kan thap coeng he.
6 And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.
Namah neh hekah khopuei he Assyria manghai kut lamkah ka huul vetih khopuei he khaw ka tungaep ni.
7 And this shall be the sign to thee from Jehovah, that Jehovah will do this thing that he has spoken:
BOEIPA taeng lamkah miknoek pakhat he nang ham coeng ni. BOEIPA loh ol a thui tangtae bangla a saii ni.
8 Behold, I will cause the shadow on the steps, which has gone down on the dial of Ahaz with the sun, to return backward ten steps. So the sun returned ten steps on the dial on which it had gone down.
Khomik te tangtlaeng parha ka thoeih sak tih Ahaz kah tangtlaeng dongah aka tla tangtlaeng mueihlip te ka mael sak coeng he,” a ti nah. Khomik khaw tangtlaeng dongah a caeh vanbangla tangtlaeng parha hil ah mael tangloeng.
9 The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness:
Amah te nue coeng dae a tloh khui lamloh a hing vaengah Judah manghai Hezekiah kah cadaek.
10 I said, In the noontide of my days I shall go into the gates of Sheol. I am deprived of the residue of my years. (Sheol h7585)
Kai tah, “Saelkhui vongka ah, ka khohnin he dingsueknah neh ka pongpa puei mai vetih, ka kum noi ka bawt mai mako,” ka ti. (Sheol h7585)
11 I said, I shall not see Jehovah, even Jehovah in the land of the living. I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world.
Mulhing khohmuen kah BOEIPA tah ka hmu voel mahpawh, lunghnilhkho kah khosa rhoek taengah hlang koep ka paelki mahpawh ka ti coeng.
12 My dwelling is removed, and is 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 loom. From day even to night thou will make an end of me.
Ka thawnpuei te a khum puei tih kai kah boiva aka dawn kah dap bangla kai taeng lamloh a khuen. Hni aka tak bangla ka hingnah a awn tih phaivoep dong lamloh kai m'mueluem. Te dongah khothaih lamloh khoyin duela kai nan thuung sak.
13 I quieted myself until morning. As a lion, so he breaks all my bones. From day even to night will thou make an end of me.
Mincang due sathueng bangla ka hnil tih ka rhuh khaw boeih a khaem te khothaih lamloh khoyin duela kai nan thuung sak.
14 Like a swallow or a crane, so I chattered. I moaned as a dove. My eyes fail with looking upward. O Lord, I am oppressed, be thou my surety.
Vasoe, langloep bangla ka cip tih vahui bangla ka tuk. Ka mik hmuensang la tlayae sut. Boeipa aw kai taengkah hnaemtaeknah soah kai hamla rhikhang lah.
15 What shall I say? He has both spoken to me, and himself has done it. I shall go softly all my years because of the bitterness of my soul.
Kai taengah a thui tih amah loh a saii coeng dongah metlae ka ti eh? Ka hinglu kah khahing neh ka kum boeih khaw vawlhvawlh ka van mai bitni.
16 O Lord, by these things men live, and wholly therein is the life of my spirit. Therefore recover thou me, and make me to live.
Ka Boeipa aw te rhoek neh hing mai saeh. A khuikah aka om boeih nen ni ka mueihla kah a hingnah khaw a om. Te dongah kai he nan man sak akhaw kai n'hing sak mai.
17 Behold, for peace I had great bitterness. But thou have by love for my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption. For thou have cast all my sins behind thy back.
Ka taengkah khahing neh ka phaep uh he sadingnah ham ni. Namah loh vaam khui lamkah ka hinglu he na ven bueng kolla ka tholhnah boeih te na nam la na voeih coeng.
18 For Sheol cannot praise thee, death cannot celebrate thee. Those who go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. (Sheol h7585)
Nang aka uem te saelkhui moenih. Dueknah loh nang n'thangthen nim. Tangrhom ah aka suntla rhoek loh na oltak te a lamso moenih. (Sheol h7585)
19 The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day. The father to the sons shall make known thy truth.
Aka hing aka hing long ni namah te kai bangla ng'uem dae amah. Tihnin ah ana pa loh camoe rhoek taengah na oltak te a ming sak pai.
20 Jehovah is ready to save me. Therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of Jehovah.
BOEIPA loh kai n'khang dongah mamih kah hingnah tue a om khui atah BOEIPA im ah rhotoeng n'tum uh pawn ni.
21 Now Isaiah had said, Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it for a plaster upon the boil, and he shall recover.
Te phoeiah Isaiah loh, “Thaibu thaidae lo saehlamtah buhlut te ben saeh, anih te hing bitni,” a ti nah.
22 Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of Jehovah?
Hezekiah loh, “Mebang miknoek nen lae BOEIPA im la ka caeh eh?,” a ti nah.
