Isaiah 38
1 In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him, and said to him, “The LORD says, ‘Set your house in order, for you will die, and not live.’”
Hatnae hninnaw dawkvah, Hezekiah teh meimei kadout lah a pataw. Hatnavah, Amoz capa Isaiah ahni koe a tho teh, hettelah ati pouh: BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Nang teh na hring mahoeh toe. Na due han toung dawkvah, na imthungnaw hah lawk thui lawih, atipouh.
2 Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD,
Hattoteh Hezekiah teh tapang koelah a kangvawi teh, BAWIPA koe,
3 and said, “Remember now, LORD, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight.” Then Hezekiah wept bitterly.
Oe! BAWIPA, kai teh Bawipa na hmalah yuemkamcunae hoi ka lungthin abuemlah kho ka sak e hoi na hmalah hnokahawi ka sak e hah na pouk pouh haw, telah a ratoum. Hathnukkhu, Hezekiah siangpahrang teh puenghoi a khuika.
4 Then the LORD’s word came to Isaiah, saying,
Hahoi, BAWIPA e lawk teh Isaiah koe bout a tho teh,
5 “Go, and tell Hezekiah, ‘The LORD, the God of David your father, says, “I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Behold, I will add fifteen years to your life.
nang teh Hezekiah siangpahrang koe cet nateh, na pa Devit e Cathut Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Nange ratoum lawk teh ka thai toe. Nange mitphi hai ka hmu toe. Nange hringnae dawk kum 15 touh ka thapsin han.
6 I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.
Nang hoi hete kho hah Assyria kut dawk hoi ka hlout sak han.
7 This shall be the sign to you from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he has spoken.
Hethateh, BAWIPA ni ka sak roeroe han titeh lawk a kam e, nang hanelah BAWIPA e mitnoutnae doeh.
8 Behold, I will cause the shadow on the sundial, which has gone down on the sundial of Ahaz with the sun, to return backward ten steps.”’” So the sun returned ten steps on the sundial on which it had gone down.
Khenhaw! Ahaz e kanîsuimilam dawk a tâhlip lakhout hra touh hnuklah bout ka ban sak han ati. Ati e patetlah kaloum tangcoung e a tâhlip lakhout hra touh hnuklah bout a ban.
9 The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and had recovered of his sickness:
Judah siangpahrang Hezekiah ni a patawnae koehoi bout a dam hnukkhu a thut e ca hateh,
10 I said, "In the middle of my life I go into the gates of Sheol (Sheol h7585). I am deprived of the residue of my years."
muengmueng ka o navah, ka due han doeh toe. Kaawm rae hringnae ka coe hoeh toe telah ka ti. (Sheol h7585)
11 I said, “I will not see the LORD, the LORD in the land of the living. I will see man no more with the inhabitants of the world.
BAWIPA teh ka hmawt mahoeh toe, kahringnaw onae koe BAWIPA teh ka hmawt mahoeh toe ka ti.
12 My dwelling is removed, and is carried away from me like a shepherd’s tent. I have rolled up my life like a weaver. He will cut me off from the loom. From day even to night you will make an end of me.
Tukhoumkung e rim patetlah kai ka onae im hah beng a sawn awh teh, yout a la awh toe. Hni ka kawng e ni a kalawng e patetlah kahringnae hah kalawng lah ao teh, hnikawngnae dawk hoi kai teh na takhoe han toe. Hnin touh hoi kai hah na poutsak awh han toe.
13 I waited patiently until morning. He breaks all my bones like a lion. From day even to night you will make an end of me.
Kaie ka hrunaw hah sendek patetlah a khoe, kai teh amom ditouh duem ka o. Hnin touh hoi rum touh thung dawk kai teh poutnae koe na phakhai.
14 I chattered like a swallow or a crane. I moaned like a dove. My eyes weaken looking upward. Lord, I am oppressed. Be my security.”
Pingpit patetlah kahram teh bakhu patetlah ka cingou. Kahlun lah ka khet boteh, ka mit a tha a tawn. Oe Bawipa, runae thouk ka kâhmo dawkvah, kai hanelah hloutnae amahkhan lah awm haw ka ti.
15 What will I say? He has both spoken to me, and himself has done it. I will walk carefully all my years because of the anguish of my soul.
Bangtelamouh ka dei han toung. Bawipa ma ni na dei pouh e patetlah ama ni a sak toe. Ka muitha ni a khangnae dawkvah, kai teh paiyaica hoi doeh kahring nathung lam ka cei han toe.
16 Lord, men live by these things; and my spirit finds life in all of them. You restore me, and cause me to live.
Oe Bawipa, hot patet e hnonaw hoi doeh taminaw teh a hring awh. Hotnaw dawk doeh ka muitha teh a hring. Bawipa, nang ni kai hah na dam sak nateh, na hring sak haw.
17 Behold, for peace I had great anguish, but you have in love for my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption; for you have cast all my sins behind your back.
Puenghoi ka khangnae teh, kai hanelah hawi nahane doeh. Bawipa nang ni na lungpataw dawkvah, rawknae koehoi na rasa toe. Bawipa, nang ni kaie yonnae pueng hah hnuk lah na tâkhawng pouh toe.
18 For Sheol (Sheol h7585) cannot praise you. Death cannot celebrate you. Those who go down into the pit cannot hope for your truth.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, phuen niteh, nang koe lunghawilawk dei thai hoeh. Tami kadout ni nang na pholen thai hoeh. Tangkom dawk ka bawt e ni nange yuemkamcunae hah ngaihawi thai hoeh. (Sheol h7585)
19 The living, the living, he shall praise you, as I do today. The father shall make known your truth to the children.
Kahring e, kahring e ni dueng doeh, sahnin kai ni lunghawilawk ka dei e patetlah lunghawilawk a dei. Na pa ni canaw koe nange yuemkamcunae hah a cangkhai.
20 The LORD will save me. Therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments all the days of our life in the LORD’s house.
BAWIPA ni na rungngang han lah coungkacoe ao. Hatdawkvah, kahring nathung hnintangkuem vah, BAWIPA e im dawkvah, rui thueng e naw hah ka kueng han.
21 Now Isaiah had said, “Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it for a poultice on the boil, and he shall recover.”
Hathnukkhu, Isaiah ni, thaibunglung paw abuem hah sin awh nateh, a hmâ dawk ramuk pouh awh. Siangpahrang teh bet a dam han atipouh.
22 Hezekiah also had said, “What is the sign that I will go up to the LORD’s house?”
Hezekiah siangpahrang nihai, BAWIPA e im dawk kai ka luen nahanelah bangpatet e mitnout maw kaawm telah a pacei.
