Esias 38
1 And it came to pass at that time, [that] Ezekias was sick even to death. And Esaias the prophet the son of Amos came to him, and said to him, Thus says the Lord, Give orders concerning your house: for you shall die, and not live.
Matukũ-inĩ macio Hezekia akĩrwara, hakuhĩ akue. Mũnabii Isaia mũrũ wa Amozu agĩthiĩ kũrĩ we, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Thondeka maũndũ ma mũciĩ waku, tondũ nĩũgũkua, ndũkũhona.”
2 And Ezekias turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying,
Hezekia akĩhũgũra ũthiũ wake, akĩrora rũthingo-inĩ, na akĩhooya Jehova, akiuga atĩrĩ,
3 Remember, O Lord, how I have walked before you in truth, with a true heart, and have done that which was pleasing in your sight. And Ezekias wept bitterly.
“Wee Jehova, ririkana ũrĩa ngoretwo ngĩthiĩ na mĩthiĩre ya kwĩhokeka mbere yaku, na ngeheana na ngoro yakwa yothe, na ngeeka ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ maku.” Nake Hezekia akĩrĩra mũno.
4 And the word of the Lord came to Esaias, saying, Go, and say to Ezekias,
Hĩndĩ ĩyo kiugo kĩa Jehova gĩgĩkinyĩra Isaia, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
5 Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father, I have heard your prayer, and seen your tears: behold, I [will] add to your time fifteen years.
“Cooka ũkeere Hezekia atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova Ngai wa thoguo Daudi ekuuga ũũ: Nĩnjiguĩte ihooya rĩaku na ngoona maithori maku; nĩngũkuongerera mĩaka ikũmi na ĩtano ya gũtũũra muoyo.
6 And I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians: and I will defend this city.
Nĩngũkũhonokia hamwe na itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene kuuma guoko-inĩ kwa mũthamaki wa Ashuri. Nĩngũgitĩra itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene.
7 And this [shall be] a sign to you from the Lord, that God will do this thing;
“‘Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩmenyithia kĩrĩa Jehova egũkũhe atĩ Jehova nĩegwĩka ũndũ ũcio akwĩrĩire:
8 behold, I will turn back the shadow of the degrees [of the dial] by which ten degrees on the house of your father the sun has gone down—I will turn back the sun the ten degrees; so the sun went back the ten degrees by which the shadow had gone down.
Nĩngatũma kĩĩruru kĩa riũa gĩcooke na thuutha makinya ikũmi marĩa gĩikũrũkĩte ngathĩ-inĩ ya Ahazu.’” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ũtheri wa riũa ũgĩcooka na thuutha makinya ikũmi marĩa waikũrũkĩte.
9 THE PRAYER OF EZEKIAS KING OF JUDEA, WHEN HE HAD BEEN SICK, AND WAS RECOVERED FROM HIS SICKNESS.
Maya nĩmo maandĩko ma Hezekia mũthamaki wa Juda marĩa aandĩkire thuutha wa kũrũara na kũhona:
10 I said in the end of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I shall part with the remainder of my years. (Sheol h7585)
Niĩ ndoigire atĩrĩ, “O rĩrĩa matukũ ma muoyo wakwa magaacĩra-rĩ, no rĩo ngũthiĩ ndonye ihingo-inĩ cia gĩkuũ, na ndunywo mĩaka yakwa ĩrĩa ĩtigarĩte?” (Sheol h7585)
11 I said, I shall no more at all see the salvation of God in the land of the living: I shall no more at all see the salvation of Israel on the earth: I shall no more at all see man.
Ngĩkiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndikona Jehova rĩngĩ, ndikona Jehova ndĩ bũrũri ũyũ wa arĩa matũũraga muoyo; gũtirĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ ngona mũndũ wa thĩ, kana ngorwo hamwe na arĩa marĩ gũkũ thĩ.
12 [My life] has failed from amongst my kindred: I have parted with the remainder of my life: it has gone forth and departed from me, as one that having pitched a tent takes it down [again]: my breath was with me as a weaver's web, when she that weaves draws near to cut off [the] thread.
Nyũmba yakwa nĩĩtharĩĩtio, ĩkeherio kũrĩ niĩ, o ta ũrĩa hema ya mũrĩithi yambũragwo. Nĩngũnjĩte muoyo wakwa ta ũrĩ taama wa mũndũ ũrĩa ũtumaga na mĩtambo, na rĩu nĩkũndinia ekũndinia anjeherie mũtambo-inĩ ũcio wake; mũthenya na ũtukũ-rĩ, ũtuĩkĩte o wa kũũniina.
13 In that day I was given up as to a lion until the morning: so has he broken all my bones: for I was so given up from day [even] to night.
Ndetereire ngirĩrĩirie nginya gũgĩkĩa, na akiunanga mahĩndĩ makwa mothe o ta mũrũũthi. Mũthenya na ũtukũ-rĩ, wee ũtuĩkĩte o wa kũũniina.
14 As a swallow, so will I cry, and as a dove, so do I mourn: for mine eyes have failed with looking to the height of heaven to the Lord, who has delivered me, and removed the sorrow of my soul.
Ngĩkaya ta hũngũrũrũ kana mũrũaru, ngĩcaaya o ta ũrĩa ndutura ĩcaayaga. Maitho makwa makĩaga hinya nĩgũcũthĩrĩria igũrũ. Ndĩ mũthĩĩnĩku; Wee Mwathani ũka ũndeithie!”
No ingĩkiuga atĩa? Nĩanjarĩirie, na nĩwe mwene wĩkĩte ũguo. Mĩaka yakwa yothe ndĩrĩthiiaga ndĩnyiihĩtie, tondũ wa ruo rũrũ rwa ngoro yakwa.
16 [Yes], O Lord, for it was told you concerning this; and you have revived my breath; and I am comforted, and live.
Mwathani, andũ matũũraga moonaga maũndũ ta maya; o naguo roho wakwa ũtũũraga muoyo wonaga maũndũ o ta macio. Wanjookeirie ũgima wa mwĩrĩ, na ũkĩreka ndũũre muoyo.
17 For you have chosen my soul, that it should not perish: and you have cast all [my] sins behind me.
Ti-itherũ ũhoro ũcio warĩ wa kũngʼuna, nĩkĩo ndaiguire ruo rũnene ũguo. Nĩ ũndũ wa wendo waku, nĩwagirĩrĩirie ndoonye irima rĩa mwanangĩko; mehia makwa mothe nĩũriganĩirwo nĩmo.
18 For they that are in the grave shall not praise you, neither shall the dead bless you, neither shall they that are in Hades hope for your mercy. (Sheol h7585)
Nĩgũkorwo mbĩrĩra ndĩngĩhota gũkũgooca, o nakĩo gĩkuũ gĩtingĩkũgooca; arĩa maharũrũkaga irima rĩu matingĩgĩa na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro kĩa wĩhokeku waku. (Sheol h7585)
19 The living shall bless you, as I also [do]: for from this day shall I beget children, who shall declare your righteousness,
Arĩa marĩ muoyo, o acio matũũraga muoyo-rĩ, nĩmakũgoocaga, ta ũrĩa ndĩreka ũmũthĩ; maithe ma ciana nĩo meraga ciana ũhoro wa wĩhokeku waku.
20 O God of my salvation; and I will not cease blessing you with the lute all the days of my life before the house of God.
Jehova nĩakahonokia, na nĩtũkaina tũrĩ na inanda cia mũgeeto matukũ mothe ma muoyo witũ, tũrĩ hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova.
21 Now Esaias had said to Ezekias; Take a cake of figs, and mash them, and apply them as a plaster, and you shall be well.
Isaia oigĩte atĩrĩ, “Thondekai ngũmba ya ngũyũ, mũmĩigĩrĩre ihũha-inĩ, na nĩekũhona.”
22 And Ezekias said, This is a sign to Ezekias, that I shall go up to the house of God.
Hezekia oorĩtie atĩrĩ, “Kĩmenyithia gĩgaakorwo kĩrĩ kĩrĩkũ atĩ nĩngambata thiĩ hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova?”
