Isaiah 38
1 In those days Hezekiah was sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah: Set thy house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.
Bara sana keessa Hisqiyaas dhukkubsatee duʼuu gaʼee ture. Isaayyaas ilmi Amoos raajichi gara isaa dhaqee, “Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Mana kee tottolfadhu; ati ni duuta malee hin fayyituutii” jedheen.
2 And Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed to Jehovah,
Hisqiyaasis fuula isaa gara keenyan manaatti garagalfatee akkana jedhee Waaqayyoon kadhate;
3 and said, Ah, Jehovah, remember, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept much.
“Yaa Waaqayyo, akka ani amanamummaa fi garaa tokkoon fuula kee dura jiraadhee waan fuula kee duratti gaarii taʼes hojjedhe yaadadhu.” Hisqiyaasis hiqqifatee ni booʼe.
4 And the word of Jehovah came to Isaiah, saying,
Ergasiis dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Isaayyaas dhufe:
5 Go and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of David thy father: I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add to thy days fifteen years.
“Dhaqiitii akkana jedhii Hisqiyaasitti himi; ‘Waaqayyo Waaqni abbaa kee Daawit akkana jedha: Ani kadhannaa kee dhagaʼeera; imimmaan kees argeera; ani umurii kee irratti waggaa kudha shan siifan dabala.
6 And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.
Ani siʼii fi magaalaa kana harka mooticha Asooriitii nan baasa. Ani magaalaa kana nan eega.
7 And this [shall be] the sign to thee from Jehovah, that Jehovah will do this thing that he hath spoken:
“‘Kun mallattoo Waaqayyoo kan akka inni waan waadaa gale sana guutu mirkaneessuuf Waaqayyo biraa siif kennamee dha:
8 behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees which hath gone down with the sun on the dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned on the dial ten degrees, by which it had gone down.
Ani akka gaaddidduun aduu tarkaanfii kurnan gulantaa Aahaaz irraan gad buʼe sana dugda duubatti deebiʼu nan godha.’” Kanaafuu gaaddidduun tarkaanfii kurnan gad buʼee ture sun dugda duubatti deebiʼe.
9 The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick and had recovered from his sickness:
Barreeffama Hisqiyaas mootichi Yihuudaa erga dhukkubsatee fayyee booddee barreesse:
10 I said, In the meridian of my days I shall go to the gates of Sheol: I am deprived of the rest of my years. (Sheol h7585)
Anis, “Walakkaa umurii kootiitti, ani siiʼool seenuun qabaa? Bara jireenya koo kan hafes dhabuun qabaa?” nan jedhe. (Sheol h7585)
11 I said, I shall not see Jah, Jah in the land of the living. With those who dwell where all has ceased to be, I shall behold man no more.
Ani akkanan jedhe; “Ani biyya jiraattotaa keessatti, lammata Waaqayyoon hin argu; ani siʼachi sanyii namaa hin ilaalu, yookaan warra addunyaa kana irra jiraatan wajjin hin jiraadhu.
12 Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd's tent. I have cut off like a weaver my life. He separateth me from the thrum: — from day to night thou wilt make an end of me.
Manni koo akkuma dunkaana tiksootaa buqqifamee narraa fudhatameera. Ani akkuma wayyaa dhooftuu jireenya koo marmareera; inni miʼa wayyaa dhooftuu irraa na kuteera; ati halkanii guyyaa na balleessita.
13 I kept still until the morning; ...as a lion, so doth he break all my bones. From day to night thou wilt make an end of me.
Ani hamma bariitti obsaan nan eeggadhe; inni garuu akka leencaa lafee koo hunda caccabse; ati halkanii guyyaas na balleessita.
14 Like a swallow [or] a crane, so did I chatter; I mourned as a dove; mine eyes failed [with looking] upward: Lord, I am oppressed; undertake for me.
Ani akka simbirroo yookaan akkuma daalotee nan wace; akka gugee boossuus nan aade; iji koo gara samii ilaaluudhaan dadhabe; yaa Gooftaa ani rakkadheeraa kottuu na gargaari!”
15 What shall I say? He hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done [it]. I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul.
Ani garuu maal jechuun dandaʼa? Inni natti dubbate; inni mataan isaas waan kana godhe. Ani waaʼee dhiphinaa lubbuu kootiif umurii koo guutuu gad of qabee nan jiraadha.
16 Lord, by these things [men] live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit; and thou hast recovered me, and made me to live.
Yaa Gooftaa, namoonni waanuma akkasiitiin jiraatu; hafuurri koos isaanumaan jireenya argata. Ati na fayyiftee lubbuudhaanis na jiraachifte.
17 Behold, instead of peace I had bitterness upon bitterness; but thou hast in love delivered my soul from the pit of destruction; for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.
Dhugumaan akkas dhiphachuun koo faayidaa kootiif. Ati jaalala keetiin boolla badiisaa irraa na eegde; cubbuu koo hundas, dugda kee duubatti gatte.
18 For not Sheol shall praise thee, nor death celebrate thee; they that go down into the pit do not hope for thy truth. (Sheol h7585)
Siiʼool si galateeffachuu hin dandaʼutii; duutis si jajachuu hin dandaʼu. Warri qileetti gad buʼan, amanamummaa kee abdachuu hin dandaʼan. (Sheol h7585)
19 The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.
Isaan akkuma ani harʼa gochaa jiru kana yaa jiraataa, yaa jiraataa jedhanii si jajatu; abbootiin waaʼee amanamummaa keetii ijoollee isaaniitti ni odeessu.
20 Jehovah was [purposed] to save me. — And we will play upon my stringed instruments all the days of our life, in the house of Jehovah.
Waaqayyo na baraara; nus bara jireenya keenyaa guutuu, mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti miʼa ribuu irraa hojjetameen faarfanna.
21 Now Isaiah had said, Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it for a plaster upon the boil, and he shall recover.
Isaayyaas, “Maxinoo harbuu tolchaatii dhullaa isaa irra kaaʼaa; innis ni fayyaa” jedhee ture.
22 And Hezekiah had said, What is the sign that I shall go up into the house of Jehovah?
Hisqiyaasis, “Akka ani gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti ol baʼuuf maaltu mallattoo taʼa?” jedhee gaafate.
