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.
Matukũ-inĩ macio Hezekia akĩrwara, hakuhĩ akue. Mũnabii Isaia mũrũ wa Amozu agĩthiĩ kũrĩ we, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Thondeka maũndũ ma mũciĩ waku, tondũ nĩũgũkua, ndũkũhona.”
2 Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord,
Hezekia akĩhũgũra ũthiũ wake, akĩrora rũthingo-inĩ, na akĩhooya Jehova, akiuga atĩrĩ,
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.
“Wee Jehova, ririkana ũrĩa ngoretwo ngĩthiĩ na mĩthiĩre ya kwĩhokeka mbere yaku, na ngeheana na ngoro yakwa yothe, na ngeeka ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ maku.” Nake Hezekia akĩrĩra mũno.
4 Then came the worde of the Lord to Isaiah, saying,
Hĩndĩ ĩyo kiugo kĩa Jehova gĩgĩkinyĩra Isaia, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
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.
“Cooka ũkeere Hezekia atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova Ngai wa thoguo Daudi ekuuga ũũ: Nĩnjiguĩte ihooya rĩaku na ngoona maithori maku; nĩngũkuongerera mĩaka ikũmi na ĩtano ya gũtũũra muoyo.
6 And I will deliuer thee out of the hand of the King of Asshur, and this citie: for I will defende this citie.
Nĩngũkũhonokia hamwe na itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene kuuma guoko-inĩ kwa mũthamaki wa Ashuri. Nĩngũgitĩra itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene.
7 And this signe shalt thou haue of ye Lord, that ye Lord will do this thing that he hath spoken,
“‘Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩmenyithia kĩrĩa Jehova egũkũhe atĩ Jehova nĩegwĩka ũndũ ũcio akwĩrĩire:
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.
Nĩngatũma kĩĩruru kĩa riũa gĩcooke na thuutha makinya ikũmi marĩa gĩikũrũkĩte ngathĩ-inĩ ya Ahazu.’” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ũtheri wa riũa ũgĩcooka na thuutha makinya ikũmi marĩa waikũrũkĩte.
9 The writing of Hezekiah King of Iudah, when he had bene sicke, and was recouered of his sickenesse.
Maya nĩmo maandĩko ma Hezekia mũthamaki wa Juda marĩa aandĩkire thuutha wa kũrũara na kũhona:
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)
Niĩ ndoigire atĩrĩ, “O rĩrĩa matukũ ma muoyo wakwa magaacĩra-rĩ, no rĩo ngũthiĩ ndonye ihingo-inĩ cia gĩkuũ, na ndunywo mĩaka yakwa ĩrĩa ĩtigarĩte?” (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.
Ngĩkiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndikona Jehova rĩngĩ, ndikona Jehova ndĩ bũrũri ũyũ wa arĩa matũũraga muoyo; gũtirĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ ngona mũndũ wa thĩ, kana ngorwo hamwe na arĩa marĩ gũkũ thĩ.
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.
Nyũmba yakwa nĩĩtharĩĩtio, ĩkeherio kũrĩ niĩ, o ta ũrĩa hema ya mũrĩithi yambũragwo. Nĩngũnjĩte muoyo wakwa ta ũrĩ taama wa mũndũ ũrĩa ũtumaga na mĩtambo, na rĩu nĩkũndinia ekũndinia anjeherie mũtambo-inĩ ũcio wake; mũthenya na ũtukũ-rĩ, ũtuĩkĩte o wa kũũniina.
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.
Ndetereire ngirĩrĩirie nginya gũgĩkĩa, na akiunanga mahĩndĩ makwa mothe o ta mũrũũthi. Mũthenya na ũtukũ-rĩ, wee ũtuĩkĩte o wa kũũniina.
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.
Ngĩkaya ta hũngũrũrũ kana mũrũaru, ngĩcaaya o ta ũrĩa ndutura ĩcaayaga. Maitho makwa makĩaga hinya nĩgũcũthĩrĩria igũrũ. Ndĩ mũthĩĩnĩku; Wee Mwathani ũka ũndeithie!”
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.
No ingĩkiuga atĩa? Nĩanjarĩirie, na nĩwe mwene wĩkĩte ũguo. Mĩaka yakwa yothe ndĩrĩthiiaga ndĩnyiihĩtie, tondũ wa ruo rũrũ rwa ngoro yakwa.
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.
Mwathani, andũ matũũraga moonaga maũndũ ta maya; o naguo roho wakwa ũtũũraga muoyo wonaga maũndũ o ta macio. Wanjookeirie ũgima wa mwĩrĩ, na ũkĩreka ndũũre muoyo.
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.
Ti-itherũ ũhoro ũcio warĩ wa kũngʼuna, nĩkĩo ndaiguire ruo rũnene ũguo. Nĩ ũndũ wa wendo waku, nĩwagirĩrĩirie ndoonye irima rĩa mwanangĩko; mehia makwa mothe nĩũriganĩirwo nĩmo.
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)
Nĩgũkorwo mbĩrĩra ndĩngĩhota gũkũgooca, o nakĩo gĩkuũ gĩtingĩkũgooca; arĩa maharũrũkaga irima rĩu matingĩgĩa na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro kĩa wĩhokeku waku. (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.
Arĩa marĩ muoyo, o acio matũũraga muoyo-rĩ, nĩmakũgoocaga, ta ũrĩa ndĩreka ũmũthĩ; maithe ma ciana nĩo meraga ciana ũhoro wa wĩhokeku waku.
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.
Jehova nĩakahonokia, na nĩtũkaina tũrĩ na inanda cia mũgeeto matukũ mothe ma muoyo witũ, tũrĩ hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova.
21 Then said Isaiah, Take a lumpe of drye figs and lay it vpon the boyle, and he shall recouer.
Isaia oigĩte atĩrĩ, “Thondekai ngũmba ya ngũyũ, mũmĩigĩrĩre ihũha-inĩ, na nĩekũhona.”
22 Also Hezekiah had said, What is ye signe, that I shall goe vp into the House of the Lord?
Hezekia oorĩtie atĩrĩ, “Kĩmenyithia gĩgaakorwo kĩrĩ kĩrĩkũ atĩ nĩngambata thiĩ hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova?”
