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.’”
Na tango wana, Ezekiasi abelaki bokono moko ya makasi, pene akufa. Mosakoli Ezayi, mwana mobali ya Amotsi, akendeki epai na ye mpe alobaki: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Bongisa makambo ya ndako na yo, pamba te okokufa, okobika te. »
2 Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD,
Ezekiasi abalolaki elongi na ye na mir mpe abondelaki Yawe:
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.
« Oh Yawe, kanisa ndenge nini natambolaki liboso na Yo na boyengebene, ndenge nini namipesaki epai na Yo na motema na ngai mobimba mpe ndenge nini nasalaki makambo ya malamu na miso na Yo. » Mpe Ezekiasi alelaki mingi.
4 Then the LORD’s word came to Isaiah, saying,
Bongo, Yawe alobaki na Ezayi:
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.
« Kende koloba na Ezekiasi: ‹ Yawe, Nzambe ya tata na yo, Davidi, alobi: ‘Nayoki libondeli na yo mpe namoni mpinzoli na yo. Nakobakisa mibu zomi na mitano na mikolo ya bomoi na yo.
6 I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.
Nakokangola yo elongo na engumba oyo, na maboko ya mokonzi ya Asiri, mpe nakobatela yango.’
7 This shall be the sign to you from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he has spoken.
Bongo, tala elembo ya Yawe, elembo oyo ekolakisa mpo na yo ete Yawe akokokisa makambo oyo asili kolaka:
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.
Nakozongisa sima, na badegre zomi, elili ya moyi oyo ekitaki na tango ya Akazi. › » Boye, moyi ezongaki sima, mpe ekitaki na badegre zomi.
9 The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and had recovered of his sickness:
Tala loyembo oyo Ezekiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, akomaki na mokanda tango abikaki na bokono.
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."
Nazalaki komilobela: « Tango nazali nanu na makasi na nzoto, naleka solo na nzela ya ekuke ya kufa mpe nazangela mibu oyo etikali na bomoi na ngai? » (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.
Namilobelaki: « Nakomona lisusu Yawe te, Yawe, na mokili ya bato ya bomoi; nakomona lisusu ata moto moko te to kowumela elongo na bato oyo bavandi na mokili ya lelo!
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.
Mikolo ya bomoi esili, elongwe na bomoi na ngai ndenge balongolaka ndako ya kapo ya mobateli bibwele. Akati bomoi ngai ndenge motongi bilamba akataka basinga soki asilisi kotonga elamba. Longwa na moyi kino na butu, akomisi bomoi na ngai na suka.
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.
Nakangaki motema kino na tongo; kasi lokola nkosi, abuki-buki mikuwa na ngai nyonso. Longwa na moyi kino na butu, akomisi bomoi na ngai na suka.
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.”
Nazalaki koganga lokola mbilambila to ndeke ya mayi, nazalaki kolela lokola ebenga. Miso na ngai elembaki kotala likolo. Oh Yawe, natungisami, batela ngai! »
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.
Kasi naloba nini mpo ete ayanola ngai, pamba te Ye moko nde asali yango! Mibu nyonso ya bomoi na ngai, nakotambola na komikitisa likolo ya pasi ya motema na ngai.
16 Lord, men live by these things; and my spirit finds life in all of them. You restore me, and cause me to live.
Nkolo, bato babikaka mpo na bolamu na Yo; ezali mpe na nzela na yango nde ngai nazwi bomoi. Ozongiselaki ngai nzoto kolongono mpe opesi ngai bomoi.
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.
Solo, pasi na ngai ebongwani esengo; na bolingo na Yo, obateli ngai longwa na libulu na kufa; obwaki masumu na ngai nyonso sima na mokongo na yo.
18 For Sheol (Sheol h7585) cannot praise you. Death cannot celebrate you. Those who go down into the pit cannot hope for your truth.
Pamba te mboka ya bakufi ekoki te kokumisa Yo, kufa ekoki kosanzola Yo te; bato oyo bakitaka na mboka ya bakufi bazalaka na elikya na boyengebene na Yo te. (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.
Bato na bomoi, bato ya bomoi kaka nde basanzolaka Yo ndenge ngai nazali kosanzola Yo lelo. Batata bakoteya bana na bango boyengebene na Yo.
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.
Yawe, lokola obikisi ngai, tokobeta mindule na biso mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na biso na Tempelo ya Yawe.
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.”
Ezayi alobaki: — Bozwa liboke ya figi, botia yango na pota; mpe mokonzi akobika.
22 Hezekiah also had said, “What is the sign that I will go up to the LORD’s house?”
Ezekiasi alobaki: — Elembo nini ekolakisa ngai ete nakokende na Tempelo ya Yawe?
