Isaiah 38

1 In those days Hezekiah became mortally ill. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz came to him and said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Put your house in order, for you are about to die; you will not recover.’”

E ndalogo Hezekia nobedo matuo kendo nohewore. Janabi Isaya wuod Amoz nodhi ire mowachone niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Los weche mag dalani maber nikech ndaloni mar tho ochopo kendo ok inichangi.”

2 Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD,

Hezekia nolokore kongʼiyo kor ot mi olamo Jehova Nyasaye kama,

3 saying, “Please, O LORD, remember how I have walked before You faithfully and with wholehearted devotion; I have done what was good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

“Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, parie kaka asewuotho e nyimi gi adiera kod chuny modimbore kendo asetimo gigo makare e nyim wangʼi.” Bangʼe Hezekia noywak malit.

4 And the word of the LORD came to Isaiah, saying,

Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ne Isaya kama:

5 “Go and tell Hezekiah that this is what the LORD, the God of your father David, says: ‘I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Behold, I will add fifteen years to your life.

“Dhi mondo inyis Hezekia ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Daudi kwaru wacho: Asewinjo lemoni kendo aseneno pi wangʼi; omiyo abiro medi ngima moromo higni apar gabich.

6 And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city.

Kendo abiro resi kaachiel gi dala maduongʼni e lwet ruodh Asuria. Abiro rito dala maduongʼni.

7 This will be a sign to you from the LORD that He will do what He has promised:

“‘Ma e ranyisi ma Jehova Nyasaye nomiyi ni obiro timo gima osesingo:

8 I will make the sun’s shadow that falls on the stairway of Ahaz go back ten steps.’” So the sunlight went back the ten steps it had descended.

Abiro dwoko tipo mar wangʼ chiengʼ manie raidhi mar dhood Ahaz ondamo apar chien.’” Omiyo wangʼ chiengʼ ne odok ondamo apar chien e raidhi mane oselorie.

9 This is a writing by Hezekiah king of Judah after his illness and recovery:

Magi e weche mag Hezekia ruodh Juda bangʼ kane osechango e tuone:

10 I said, “In the prime of my life I must go through the gates of Sheol and be deprived of the remainder of my years.” (Sheol h7585)

Ne apenjora niya, “E ndalo mag ber mar ngimana, bende onego bed ni akalo e rangeye mag tho kendo hikena modongʼ duto gol kuoma?” (Sheol h7585)

11 I said, “I will never again see the LORD, even the LORD, in the land of the living; I will no longer look on mankind with those who dwell in this world.

Ne awacho niya, “Ok anachak ane Jehova Nyasaye owuon, e piny joma ngima; bende ok anachak aket genona kuom dhano wadwa, kata bedo gi joma koro odak e pinyni.

12 My dwelling has been picked up and removed from me like a shepherd’s tent. I have rolled up my life like a weaver; He cuts me off from the loom; from day until night You make an end of me.

Osepudh oda mi owit mabor mana kaka igolo kiru mar jakwath. Ngimana osengʼad machiek mana kaka jatwengʼo dolo usi mabed machiek kendo asandora pile ka pile, odiechiengʼ kod otieno.

13 I composed myself until the morning. Like a lion He breaks all my bones; from day until night You make an end of me.

Aywak ka rem ohewa nyaka piny ru, chokena otur mana ka gima sibuor ema oturo, isanda chakre okinyi nyaka odhiambo.

14 I chirp like a swallow or crane; I moan like a dove. My eyes grow weak as I look upward. O Lord, I am oppressed; be my security.”

Ne aywak mana ka opija kata ka ongo-wangʼ kendo adengo mana ka akuru. Wengena ne otho bo kane arango polo. An gi chandruok, yaye Ruoth Nyasaye, bi iresa!”

15 What can I say? He has spoken to me, and He Himself has done this. I will walk slowly all my years because of the anguish of my soul.

To an dawach angʼo? Osewuoyo koda mi en owuon osetimona ma, abiro wuotho kadembora e ngimana duto nikech lit manie chunya.

16 O Lord, by such things men live, and in all of them my spirit finds life. You have restored me to health and have let me live.

Yaye Ruoth Nyasaye wecheni emomiyo dhano ngima; chunya yudo ngima kuom wecheni. Iseduogona ngimana mi koro iyiena mondo adagi.

17 Surely for my own welfare I had such great anguish; but Your love has delivered me from the pit of oblivion, for You have cast all my sins behind Your back.

Chutho chandruok duto maseyudo okelona mana kony. Nikech herani mogundho iseresa e kethruok; bende isewito richona duto kadiengʼeyi.

18 For Sheol cannot thank You; Death cannot praise You. Those who descend to the Pit cannot hope for Your faithfulness. (Sheol h7585)

Joma ni e liel ok nyal paki, tho ok nyal wero wendi mar pak, chutho joma dhi e bur ok nyal geno adiera mari. (Sheol h7585)

19 The living, only the living, can thank You, as I do today; fathers will tell their children about Your faithfulness.

To joma ngima, kende ema nyalo goyoni erokamano, mana kaka atimo kawuononi; wuone bende nyiso nyithindgi adiera mari.

20 The LORD will save me; we will play songs on stringed instruments all the days of our lives in the house of the LORD.

Jehova Nyasaye biro resa, kendo wanawer wende pak gi nyiduonge, ndalo duto mag ngimawa ei hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.

21 Now Isaiah had said, “Prepare a lump of pressed figs and apply it to the boil, and he will recover.”

Isaya nowacho niya, “Swag ngʼowu kendo iwirie kama bur okuodono, to obiro chango.”

22 And Hezekiah had asked, “What will be the sign that I will go up to the house of the LORD?”

Hezekia noyudo osepenjo, “Ere gima biro bedona ranyisi ni abiro dhi e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye?”
