Isaiah 38
1 About that time was Hezekiah sicke vnto the death, and the Prophet Isaiah sonne of Amoz came vnto him, and sayd vnto him, Thus sayth the Lord, Put thine house in an order, for thou shalt dye, and not liue.
Le ŋkeke mawo me la, Hezekia dze dɔ, eye wòɖo kudo nu. Nyagblɔɖila Yesaya, Amoz ƒe vi, yi egbɔ, eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, ‘Ɖɔ wò aƒe ɖo, elabena èle kuku ge, eye màhaya o.’”
2 Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord,
Hezekia trɔ mo ɖo ɖe gli ŋu, eye wòdo gbe ɖa, ɖe kuku na Yehowa be,
3 And saide, I beseeche thee, Lord, remember nowe howe I haue walked before thee in trueth, and with a perfite heart, and haue done that which is good in thy sight: and Hezekiah wept sore.
“O! Yehowa, ɖo ŋku ale si metsɔ dzi blibo kple nyateƒe zɔ le ŋkuwò mee, eye mewɔ nu si nyo le ŋkuwòme la dzi.” Eye Hezekia fa avi kple ɣli.
4 Then came the worde of the Lord to Isaiah, saying,
Tete Yehowa ƒe gbe va na Yesaya be:
5 Goe, and say vnto Hezekiah, Thus saith the Lord God of Dauid thy father, I haue heard thy prayer, and seene thy teares: behold, I will adde vnto thy dayes fifteene yeeres.
“Yi nàgblɔ na Hezekia be, ‘Ale Yehowa, fofowò David ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi, “Mese wò gbedodoɖa, eye mekpɔ wò aɖatsiwo. Matsɔ ƒe wuiatɔ̃ akpe ɖe wò agbenɔƒewo ŋu.”
6 And I will deliuer thee out of the hand of the King of Asshur, and this citie: for I will defende this citie.
Maɖe wò kple du sia tso Asiria fia ƒe asi me. Maʋli du sia ta.
7 And this signe shalt thou haue of ye Lord, that ye Lord will do this thing that he hath spoken,
“‘Esiae nye Yehowa ƒe dzesi na wò, be Yehowa awɔ nu si ŋugbe wòdo.
8 Beholde, I will bring againe the shadowe of the degrees (whereby it is gone downe in the diall of Ahaz by the sunne) ten degrees backeward: so the sunne returned by tenne degrees, by the which degrees it was gone downe.
Mana be vɔvɔli nagbugbɔ ɖe megbe ɖoƒe ewo tso Ahaz ƒe ɣetrɔti gbɔ.’” Ale ɣe ƒe vɔvɔli he ɖe megbe ɖoƒe ewo.
9 The writing of Hezekiah King of Iudah, when he had bene sicke, and was recouered of his sickenesse.
Esiae nye Yuda fia, Hezekia, ƒe nyaŋlɔɖiwo, esi wòhaya tso eƒe dɔléle la me vɔ megbe:
10 I saide in the cutting off of my dayes, I shall goe to the gates of the graue: I am depriued of the residue of my yeeres. (Sheol h7585)
Megblɔ be, “Le nye agbe ƒe kekeli me, ɖe mato ku ƒe agbowo me, eye woaxɔ nye agbemeŋkeke mamlɛawo le asinyea?” (Sheol h7585)
11 I said, I shall not see the Lord, euen the Lord in the land of the liuing: I shall see man no more among the inhabitants of the world.
Megblɔ be, “Nyemagakpɔ Yehowa o. Nyemagakpɔ Yehowa le agbagbeawo ƒe anyigba dzi o; nyemagakpɔ amegbetɔwo alo anɔ anyi kple ame siwo le xexe sia me o.
12 Mine habitation is departed, and is remoued from me, like a shepheards tent: I haue cut off like a weauer my life: he will cut me off from the height: from day to night, thou wilt make an ende of me.
Womu nye agbadɔ hexɔe le asinye abe ale si wowɔa alẽkplɔla ƒe agbadɔe ene. Abe ale si avɔlɔ̃la ŋlɔa eƒe avɔe heɖenɛ tso agbati me ene la, nenemae meŋlɔ nye agbee, eye nèna nye agbe wu enu zã kple keli.
13 I rekoned to the morning: but he brake all my bones, like a lion: from day to night wilt thou make an ende of me.
Melala dzigbɔɖitɔe va se ɖe fɔŋli, gake èŋe nye ƒuwo abe dzata ene, eye zã kple keli nèna nye agbe wu enu.
14 Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourne as a doue: mine eies were lift vp on high: O Lord, it hath oppressed me, comfort me.
Medo ɣli abe sagbadre alo tsalĩ ene, eye mele xɔxlɔ̃m abe ahɔnɛ si tsi akogo ene. Nye ŋkuwo dzi wɔ dɔ̃ɔ esi mewu mo dzi le dziƒo kpɔm. O! Aƒetɔ, mele nu xam, va nàkpe ɖe ŋutinye.”
15 What shall I say? for he hath said it to me, and he hath done it: I shall walke weakely all my yeeres in the bitternesse of my soule.
Nu ka gblɔ ge mala? Egblɔ nya nam, eye eya ŋutɔ wɔ ɖe edzi. Eya ta mazɔ ɖokuibɔbɔtɔe. Le nye agbemeŋkekewo katã me, le nye luʋɔ ƒe vevesese ta.
16 O Lord, to them that ouerliue them, and to all that are in them, the life of my spirite shalbe knowen, that thou causedst me to sleepe and hast giuen life to me.
O! Aƒetɔ, nu siawo ŋue amewo nɔa agbe ɖo, eye nye hã nye gbɔgbɔ kpɔ agbe le wo me. Èna mehaya, eye nègana mele agbe.
17 Beholde, for felicitie I had bitter griefe, but it was thy pleasure to deliuer my soule from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sinnes behinde thy backe.
Le nyateƒe me la, nye nyonyo tae nèna meto vevesese mawo me. Wò lɔlɔ̃ na be nèɖem tso gbegblẽ ƒe do globo me, eye nètsɔ nye nu vɔ̃wo ƒu gbe ɖe megbe wò.
18 For the graue cannot confesse thee: death cannot praise thee: they that goe downe into the pit, cannot hope for thy trueth. (Sheol h7585)
Elabena yɔdo mate ŋu akafu wò o, ku mate ŋu adzi kafukafuhawo na wò o, eye ame siwo yi aʋlime la mate ŋu akpɔ mɔ na wò nuteƒewɔwɔ o. (Sheol h7585)
19 But the liuing, the liuing, he shall confesse thee, as I doe this day: the father to the children shall declare thy trueth.
Ame gbagbewo koe akafu wò abe ale si mele wɔwɔm egbe ene, eye fofowo agblɔ wò nuteƒewɔwɔ na wo viwo.
20 The Lord was ready to saue me: therefore we will sing my song, all the dayes of our life in the House of the Lord.
Yehowa aɖem, eye míadzi ha kple kasaŋkuwo le míaƒe agbemeŋkekewo katã me, le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me.
21 Then said Isaiah, Take a lumpe of drye figs and lay it vpon the boyle, and he shall recouer.
Azɔ Yesaya gblɔ be, “Mitsɔ gbotsetse miaɖu, atikee. Mitsɔe ɖo ƒoƒoea dzi nɛ ekema ahaya.”
22 Also Hezekiah had said, What is ye signe, that I shall goe vp into the House of the Lord?
Hezekia bia be, “Nu kae anye dzesi be magayi Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me?”
