< 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.’”
Kadagidi nga aldaw, nagsakit ni Hezekias ken ngannganin matay. Isu a napan kenkuana ni Isaias a putot a lalaki ni Amos a profeta ket kinunana kenkuana, “Kuna ni Yahweh, 'Iyurnosmon ti balaymo ta mataykan, saankan nga agbiag.'”
2 Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD,
Kalpasanna simmango ni Hezekias iti pader ket nagkararag kenni Yahweh.
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.
Kinunana, “Pangngaasim O Yahweh ta lagipem no kasanoak a nagbiag a napudno iti sangoanam iti amin a pusok, ken no kasanok nga inaramid dagiti nasayaat iti imatangmo.” Ket nagsangit iti nasaem ni Hezekias.
4 And the word of the LORD came to Isaiah, saying,
Kalpasanna, dimteng ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Isaias a kunana,
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.
“Mapanmo ibaga kenni Hezekias a pangulo dagiti tattaok, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Dios ni David a kapuonam: Nangngegko ti kararagmo ken nakitak dagiti luluam. Kitaem, nayunak iti sangapulo ket lima a tawen ti biagmo.
6 And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city.
Ket ispalenka ken daytoy a siudad manipud iti pannakabalin ti ari ti Asiria, ket salaknibak daytoy a siudad.
7 This will be a sign to you from the LORD that He will do what He has promised:
Daytoyto ti pagilasinam manipud kaniak a ni Yahweh, nga aramidekto no ania ti imbagak:
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.
Kitaem, pagsubliekto iti sangapulo nga addang ti aniniwan iti agdan ni Ahaz.” Isu a nagsubli iti sangapulo nga addang iti agdan nga isu ti bimmabaanna.
9 This is a writing by Hezekiah king of Judah after his illness and recovery:
Daytoy ti naisurat a kararag ni Hezekias nga ari ti Juda, idi nagsakit isuna ket naimbagan:
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)
“Imbagak nga iti kabanbannuagak innakon kadagiti ruangan ti sheol; maibaonak sadiay iti nabatbati a tawtawenko. (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.
Imbagak a saankon a makita ni Yahweh, ni Yahweh iti daga dagiti sibibiag; saankon a mamatmatan dagiti tattao wenno dagiti agnanaed iti lubong.
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.
Naikkaten ti biagko ket naipanawen kaniak a kasla iti tolda ti maysa nga agpaspastor; Nalukotkon ti biagko a kasla iti maysa nga umaabel; putputedem ti biagko manipud iti pagab-abellan; gibgibusem ti biagko iti nagbaetan ti aldaw ken rabii.
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.
Nagdung-awak agingga iti agsapa; kasla iti maysa a leon, rangkarangkayenna dagiti tulangko; Iti nagbaetan ti aldaw ken rabii, gibgibusem ti biagko.
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.”
Agit-itak a kasla maysa a salapingaw ken maysa a kalapati; nabannog dagiti matakon a tumangtangad. O Apo, maidaddadanesak; tulongannak.
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.
Ania ti mabalinko nga ibaga? Nagsaon isuna kaniak, ket inaramidnan daytoy; magnaakto a nainayad iti amin a tawenko gapu ta kasta unay ti panagladingitko.
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.
O Apo, ti panagsagaba nga intedmo ket naimbag para kaniak; sapay koma ta maisubli kaniak ti biagko; insublim ti biagko ken ti salun-atko.
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.
Agpaay iti pagimbagak a napadasak ti kasta a panagladingit. Inispalnak manipud iti abut ti pannakadadael; ta imbellengmo dagiti amin a basbasolko iti likodam.
18 For Sheol cannot thank You; Death cannot praise You. Those who descend to the Pit cannot hope for Your faithfulness. (Sheol h7585)
Ta saan a makapagyaman kenka ti sheol; saannaka a maidaydayaw ti patay; dagiti agpababa iti abut ket saan a mangnamnama iti kinamatalekmo. (Sheol h7585)
19 The living, only the living, can thank You, as I do today; fathers will tell their children about Your faithfulness.
Ti sibibiag a tao, ti sibibiag a tao, isuna ti makapagyaman kenka, a kas iti ar-aramidek iti daytoy nga aldaw; ipakaammo ti maysa nga ama kadagiti annakna ti kinamatalekmo.
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.
Isalakannak ni Yahweh, ken rambakanminto babaen iti samiweng iti amin nga aldaw iti biagtayo idiay balay ni Yahweh.”
21 Now Isaiah had said, “Prepare a lump of pressed figs and apply it to the boil, and he will recover.”
Ita, kinuna ni Isaias, “Pagalaem ida iti sangkatipkel nga igos ken ikabilmo daytoy iti lettegna ket umimbagto isuna.”
22 And Hezekiah had asked, “What will be the sign that I will go up to the house of the LORD?”
Kinuna pay ni Hezekias, “Anianto ti pagilasinan a sumang-atakto manen iti balay ni Yahweh?”
