Isaiah 38
1 In those days Hezekiah became ill and was near death. And so, Isaiah, the son of Amoz, the prophet, entered to him, and he said to him: “Thus says the Lord: Put your house in order, for you shall die, and you shall not live.”
Hatnae hninnaw dawkvah, Hezekiah teh meimei kadout lah a pataw. Hatnavah, Amoz capa Isaiah ahni koe a tho teh, hettelah ati pouh: BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Nang teh na hring mahoeh toe. Na due han toung dawkvah, na imthungnaw hah lawk thui lawih, atipouh.
2 And Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and he prayed to the Lord.
Hattoteh Hezekiah teh tapang koelah a kangvawi teh, BAWIPA koe,
3 And he said: “I beg you, Lord, I beseech you, to remember how I walked before you in truth and with a whole heart, and that I have done what is good in your sight.” And Hezekiah wept with a great weeping.
Oe! BAWIPA, kai teh Bawipa na hmalah yuemkamcunae hoi ka lungthin abuemlah kho ka sak e hoi na hmalah hnokahawi ka sak e hah na pouk pouh haw, telah a ratoum. Hathnukkhu, Hezekiah siangpahrang teh puenghoi a khuika.
4 And the word of the Lord came to Isaiah, saying:
Hahoi, BAWIPA e lawk teh Isaiah koe bout a tho teh,
5 “Go and say to Hezekiah: Thus says the Lord, the God of David, your father: I have heard your prayer, and I have seen your tears. Behold, I will add fifteen years to your days.
nang teh Hezekiah siangpahrang koe cet nateh, na pa Devit e Cathut Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Nange ratoum lawk teh ka thai toe. Nange mitphi hai ka hmu toe. Nange hringnae dawk kum 15 touh ka thapsin han.
6 And I will rescue you and this city from the hand of the king of the Assyrians, and I will protect it.
Nang hoi hete kho hah Assyria kut dawk hoi ka hlout sak han.
7 And this will be a sign for you from the Lord, that the Lord will do this word, which he has spoken:
Hethateh, BAWIPA ni ka sak roeroe han titeh lawk a kam e, nang hanelah BAWIPA e mitnoutnae doeh.
8 Behold, I will cause the shadow of the lines, which has now descended on the sundial of Ahaz, to move in reverse for ten lines.” And so, the sun moved backward by ten lines, through the degrees by which it had descended.
Khenhaw! Ahaz e kanîsuimilam dawk a tâhlip lakhout hra touh hnuklah bout ka ban sak han ati. Ati e patetlah kaloum tangcoung e a tâhlip lakhout hra touh hnuklah bout a ban.
9 The writing of Hezekiah, the king of Judah, after he had fallen ill and had recovered from his sickness:
Judah siangpahrang Hezekiah ni a patawnae koehoi bout a dam hnukkhu a thut e ca hateh,
10 “I said: In the middle of my days, I will go to the gates of Hell. So I sought the remainder of my years. (Sheol h7585)
muengmueng ka o navah, ka due han doeh toe. Kaawm rae hringnae ka coe hoeh toe telah ka ti. (Sheol h7585)
11 I said: I will not see the Lord God in the land of the living. I will no longer behold man, nor the habitation of rest.
BAWIPA teh ka hmawt mahoeh toe, kahringnaw onae koe BAWIPA teh ka hmawt mahoeh toe ka ti.
12 My longevity has been taken away; it has been folded up and taken from me, like the tent of a shepherd. My life has been cut off, as if by a weaver. While I was still beginning, he cut me off. From morning until evening, you have marked out my limits.
Tukhoumkung e rim patetlah kai ka onae im hah beng a sawn awh teh, yout a la awh toe. Hni ka kawng e ni a kalawng e patetlah kahringnae hah kalawng lah ao teh, hnikawngnae dawk hoi kai teh na takhoe han toe. Hnin touh hoi kai hah na poutsak awh han toe.
13 I hoped, even until morning. Like a lion, so has he crushed all my bones. From morning until evening, you have marked my limits.
Kaie ka hrunaw hah sendek patetlah a khoe, kai teh amom ditouh duem ka o. Hnin touh hoi rum touh thung dawk kai teh poutnae koe na phakhai.
14 I will cry out, like a young swallow. I will meditate, like a dove. My eyes have been weakened by gazing upward. O Lord, I suffer violence! Answer in my favor.
Pingpit patetlah kahram teh bakhu patetlah ka cingou. Kahlun lah ka khet boteh, ka mit a tha a tawn. Oe Bawipa, runae thouk ka kâhmo dawkvah, kai hanelah hloutnae amahkhan lah awm haw ka ti.
15 What can I say, or what would he answer me, since he himself has done this? I will acknowledge to you all my years, in the bitterness of my soul.
Bangtelamouh ka dei han toung. Bawipa ma ni na dei pouh e patetlah ama ni a sak toe. Ka muitha ni a khangnae dawkvah, kai teh paiyaica hoi doeh kahring nathung lam ka cei han toe.
16 O Lord, if such is life, and if the life of my spirit is of such a kind, may you correct me and may you cause me to live.
Oe Bawipa, hot patet e hnonaw hoi doeh taminaw teh a hring awh. Hotnaw dawk doeh ka muitha teh a hring. Bawipa, nang ni kai hah na dam sak nateh, na hring sak haw.
17 Behold, in peace my bitterness is most bitter. But you have rescued my soul, so that it would not perish. You have cast all my sins behind your back.
Puenghoi ka khangnae teh, kai hanelah hawi nahane doeh. Bawipa nang ni na lungpataw dawkvah, rawknae koehoi na rasa toe. Bawipa, nang ni kaie yonnae pueng hah hnuk lah na tâkhawng pouh toe.
18 For Hell will not confess to you, and death will not praise you. Those who descend into the pit will not hope for your truth. (Sheol h7585)
Bangkongtetpawiteh, phuen niteh, nang koe lunghawilawk dei thai hoeh. Tami kadout ni nang na pholen thai hoeh. Tangkom dawk ka bawt e ni nange yuemkamcunae hah ngaihawi thai hoeh. (Sheol h7585)
19 The living, the living, these will give praise to you, as I also do this day! The father will make the truth known to the sons.
Kahring e, kahring e ni dueng doeh, sahnin kai ni lunghawilawk ka dei e patetlah lunghawilawk a dei. Na pa ni canaw koe nange yuemkamcunae hah a cangkhai.
20 O Lord, save me! And we will sing our psalms, all the days of our life, in the house of the Lord.”
BAWIPA ni na rungngang han lah coungkacoe ao. Hatdawkvah, kahring nathung hnintangkuem vah, BAWIPA e im dawkvah, rui thueng e naw hah ka kueng han.
21 Now Isaiah had ordered them to take a paste of figs, and to spread it like plaster over the wound, so that he would be healed.
Hathnukkhu, Isaiah ni, thaibunglung paw abuem hah sin awh nateh, a hmâ dawk ramuk pouh awh. Siangpahrang teh bet a dam han atipouh.
22 And Hezekiah said, “What will be the sign that I may go up to the house of the Lord?”
Hezekiah siangpahrang nihai, BAWIPA e im dawk kai ka luen nahanelah bangpatet e mitnout maw kaawm telah a pacei.
