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.
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 And Ezekias turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying,
Ezekiasi abalolaki elongi na ye na mir mpe abondelaki Yawe:
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.
« 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 And the word of the Lord came to Esaias, saying, Go, and say to Ezekias,
Bongo, Yawe alobaki na Ezayi:
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.
« 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 And I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians: and I will defend this city.
Nakokangola yo elongo na engumba oyo, na maboko ya mokonzi ya Asiri, mpe nakobatela yango.’
7 And this [shall be] a sign to you from the Lord, that God will do this thing;
Bongo, tala elembo ya Yawe, elembo oyo ekolakisa mpo na yo ete Yawe akokokisa makambo oyo asili kolaka:
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.
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 PRAYER OF EZEKIAS KING OF JUDEA, WHEN HE HAD BEEN SICK, AND WAS RECOVERED FROM HIS SICKNESS.
Tala loyembo oyo Ezekiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, akomaki na mokanda tango abikaki na bokono.
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)
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
Nazalaki koganga lokola mbilambila to ndeke ya mayi, nazalaki kolela lokola ebenga. Miso na ngai elembaki kotala likolo. Oh Yawe, natungisami, batela ngai! »
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 [Yes], O Lord, for it was told you concerning this; and you have revived my breath; and I am comforted, and 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 For you have chosen my soul, that it should not perish: and you have cast all [my] sins behind me.
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 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)
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 shall bless you, as I also [do]: for from this day shall I beget children, who shall declare your righteousness,
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 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.
Yawe, lokola obikisi ngai, tokobeta mindule na biso mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na biso na Tempelo ya Yawe.
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.
Ezayi alobaki: — Bozwa liboke ya figi, botia yango na pota; mpe mokonzi akobika.
22 And Ezekias said, This is a sign to Ezekias, that I shall go up to the house of God.
Ezekiasi alobaki: — Elembo nini ekolakisa ngai ete nakokende na Tempelo ya Yawe?
