Isaiah 38

1 About this time Hezekiah fell very sick and was about to die. The prophet Isaiah, son of Amoz, went to him and said, “This is what the Lord says: Put your affairs in order, because you are going to die. You won't recover.”

Ke pacl se inge Tokosra Hezekiah el masak ac apkuran in misa. Mwet palu Isaiah, wen natul Amoz, el som nu yorol ac fahk nu sel, “LEUM GOD El fahk mu kom in akoela ma nukewa in wo, mweyen kom ac tia kwela. Kom ac misa.”

2 When Hezekiah heard this, he went to pray privately to the Lord, saying

Hezekiah el forang nu pe sinka uh ac pre:

3 “Please remember Lord how I have followed you faithfully with all my heart. I have done what is good in your sight.” Then Hezekiah cried and cried.

“LEUM GOD, esam lah nga kulansupwekom ke inse pwaye ac suwohs, ac pacl nukewa nga srike na nga in oru ma lungse lom.” Na el mutawauk in tung arulana upa.

4 Then the Lord sent a message to Isaiah, saying,

Na LEUM GOD El sap Isaiah elan

5 “Go and tell Hezekiah, This is what the Lord, the God of your forefather David, says: I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears. I will add fifteen years to your life.

folokla nu yorol Hezekiah ac fahk nu sel, “Nga, LEUM GOD lal David, papa matu tomom, lohng pre lom ac liye sroninmotom. Nga ac fah lela nu sum in sifilpa moul ke yac singoul limekosr.

6 I will save you and this city from the king of Assyria. I will defend this city.

Nga fah molikomla ac siti Jerusalem lukel Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria, ac nga fah karinganangna siti se inge.”

7 This is the sign from the Lord to you that the Lord will do what he promised:

Isaiah el topuk ac fahk, “LEUM GOD El ac sot sie akul nu sum in akpwayei lah El ac liyaung wulela lal.

8 Look, I will make the shadow made by the sun go back the ten steps that it has gone down on the stairway of Ahaz. So the sun went back the ten steps that it had gone down on the stairway of Ahaz.”

Ke nien fan se ma musaiyukla sel Tokosra Ahaz, LEUM GOD El ac oru lulin faht uh in foloki fahluk singoul.” Na lul sac foloki ke fahluk singoul.

9 This is what Hezekiah, king of Judah, wrote after he recovered from his sickness:

Tukun Hezekiah el kwela liki mas lal, el simusla on in kaksak soko inge:

10 I said to myself, “Do I have to go to my death just as my life is going well? Why can't I count on the rest of my years?” (Sheol h7585)

Nga pangon mu nga ac som nu in facl sin mwet misa Ke pacl se nga sun kuiyen moul luk, Ac tiana aksafyela moul luk. (Sheol h7585)

11 I said, “I will never again see the Lord, the Lord, in the land of the living. I won't see anyone else again, none of the inhabitants of this world.

Nga tuh nunku mu in facl sin mwet moul inge Nga fah tiana sifilpa liye LEUM GOD Ku kutena mwet moul.

12 Like a shepherd's tent, the place where I live has been pulled up and taken away from me. Like a weaver I have rolled up the cloth of my life and cut it from the loom. Day and night you bring me to an end.

Moul luk uh utukla likiyu, Oana sie lohm nuknuk ma tuleyuki, Oana sie nuknuk ma laslasla liki mwe tol nuknuk. Nga nunku mu God El aksafyela moul luk.

13 I lie there patiently until the morning, but I feel like there's a lion breaking every bone in my body. Day and night you bring me to an end.

Nga tung fong nufon se ke ngal, Oana lion soko in koteya sri keik. Nga nunku mu God El aksafyela moul luk.

14 I scream like a swift or a songbird, I moan like a dove. My eyes grow dim as I look heavenwards. I'm being attacked, Lord, please come and support me!

Pusrek munasla ac srikeni, Ac nga sasao oana sie wule. Atronmutuk totola ke nga nget nu inkusrao. LEUM GOD, moliyula liki mwe lokoalok inge nukewa.

15 Yet what can I say? He told me what was going to happen, and he himself did it. I will walk quietly for the rest of my life because of the painful experience I went through.

Mea nga ku in fahk? LEUM GOD pa oru ma inge. Insiuk keoklana, ac nga tia ku in motul.

16 Lord, we live by what you say and do, and I find life in all of this. You have given me back my health and allowed me to live.

LEUM GOD, nga ac moul nu sum, nu sum mukena; Akeyeyula ac lela nu sik in moul.

17 It was definitely for my own good I went through this bitter experience. You in your love saved me from the pit of destruction and you have forgiven all my sins.

Keok luk fah ekla nu ke inse misla. Kom molela moul luk liki mwe sensen nukewa; Kom sisla ma koluk luk nukewa.

18 Those in the grave cannot praise you, the dead cannot praise you. Those who go down into the pit can no longer hope in your faithfulness. (Sheol h7585)

Wangin sie mwet in facl sin mwet misa ku in kaksakin kom; Mwet misa tia ku in lulalfongi ke oaru lom. (Sheol h7585)

19 It's only the living who can praise you as I'm doing today. Parents explain to their children how you can be trusted.

Mwet moul pa kaksakin kom, Oana ke nga kaksakin kom inge. Papa uh fahk nu sin tulik natulos lupan oaru lom.

20 The Lord saved me! We will sing my songs with stringed instruments all the days of our lives in the Lord's Temple.”

LEUM GOD, kom akkeyeyula. Kut fah srital ke harp ac onkakin kom; Kut fah alullul ke on in kaksak in Tempul lom ke lusen moul lasr.

21 Isaiah had said, “Prepare a dressing of figs and spread it on the skin sores so he may recover.”

Na Isaiah el fahk nu sel tokosra elan apisya ono se orekla ke fokinsak fig nu ke faf kacl ah, na el ac fah kwela.

22 Hezekiah had asked, “What is the sign to confirm that I will go to the Lord's Temple?”

Na Tokosra Hezekiah el siyuk, “Akul fuka se ac akpwayei lah nga ac ku in sifilpa som nu in Tempul?”
