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.
Mu nnaku ezo Keezeekiya n’alwala nnyo, katono afe. Nnabbi Isaaya mutabani wa Amozi n’ajja gy’ali n’amugamba nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, Teekateeka ennyumba yo, kubanga togenda kulama, ogenda kufa.”
2 Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord,
Awo Keezeekiya n’akyuka n’atunuulira ekisenge n’asaba ne yeegayirira Mukama
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.
ng’agamba nti, “Jjukira kaakano, Ayi Mukama, nkwegayiridde, engeri gye natambuliranga mu maaso go n’amazima n’omutima ogutuukiridde, ne nkola ebisaanidde mu maaso go.” Era Keezeekiya n’akaaba nnyo amaziga.
4 Then came the worde of the Lord to Isaiah, saying,
Awo Ekigambo kya Katonda ne kijja eri Isaaya,
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.
nga Mukama agamba nti, “Genda ogambe Keezeekiya nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda wa Dawudi kitaawo nti, Mpulidde okusaba kwo, ndabye amaziga go: laba nzija kwongera ku nnaku zo emyaka kkumi n’ettaano.
6 And I will deliuer thee out of the hand of the King of Asshur, and this citie: for I will defende this citie.
Era ndikuwonya ggwe n’ekibuga kino mu mukono gwa kabaka w’e Bwasuli: Era ndikuuma ekibuga kino.
7 And this signe shalt thou haue of ye Lord, that ye Lord will do this thing that he hath spoken,
“‘Era kano ke kabonero k’onoofuna okuva eri Mukama nti Mukama alikola ekigambo ky’ayogedde.
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.
Laba nzija kuzza emabega ekisiikirize ebigere kkumi enjuba bw’eneeba egwa, ky’eneekola ku madaala kabaka Akazi ge yazimba.’” Bw’etyo enjuba n’edda emabega ebigere kkumi.
9 The writing of Hezekiah King of Iudah, when he had bene sicke, and was recouered of his sickenesse.
Awo Keezeekiya Kabaka wa Yuda bwe yassuuka, n’awandiika ebigambo bino;
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)
nayogera nti, “Mu maanyi g’obulamu bwange mwe nnali ŋŋenda okufiira nnyingire mu miryango gy’emagombe, nga simazeeyo myaka gyange egisigaddeyo.” (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.
Ne ndyoka njogera nti, “Sigenda kuddayo kulaba Mukama, mu nsi y’abalamu. Sikyaddamu kulaba bantu mu nsi abantu mwe babeera.
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.
Obulamu bwange buzingiddwako ng’eweema y’omusumba w’endiga bw’enzigibwako. Ng’olugoye lwe babadde balanga ate ne balusala ku muti kwe babadde balulukira, bwe ntyo bwe nawuliranga emisana n’ekiro nga obulamu bwange obumalirawo ddala.
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.
Ekiro kyonna nakaabanga olw’obulumi nga ndi ng’empologoma gw’emmenyaamenya amagumba, ekiro n’emisana nga ndowooza nga Mukama yali amalawo obulamu bwange.
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.
Nakaabanga ng’akasanke oba akataayi, n’empuubaala ng’enjiibwa, amaaso gange ne ganfuyirira olw’okutunula mu bbanga eri eggulu. Ne nkaaba nti, Ayi Mukama, nga nnyigirizibwa, nziruukirira.”
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.
Naye ate nga naagamba ki? Yali ayogedde nange nga ye yennyini ye yali akikoze. N’atambulanga n’obwegendereza mu bulumi buno obw’obulamu bwange.
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.
Ayi Mukama, olw’ebyo, abantu babeera abalamu, era mu ebyo omwoyo gwange mwe gubeerera omulamu. Omponye, mbeere mulamu.
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.
Ddala laba okulumwa ennyo bwe ntyo kyali ku lwa bulungi bwange, naye ggwe owonyezza obulamu bwange okugwa mu bunnya obw’okuzikirira. Kubanga otadde ebibi byange byonna emabega wo.
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)
Kubanga tewali n’omu mu nsi y’abafu ayinza kukutendereza, abafu tebayinza kukusuuta; tebaba na ssuubi mu bwesigwa bwo. (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.
Akyali omulamu, y’akutendereza nga nze bwe nkola leero; bakitaabwe b’abaana babategeeza nga bw’oli omwesigwa ennyo.
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.
Mukama alindokola, kyetunaavanga tuyimba ne tukuba n’ebivuga eby’enkoba ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwaffe, mu nnyumba ya Mukama.
21 Then said Isaiah, Take a lumpe of drye figs and lay it vpon the boyle, and he shall recouer.
Isaaya yali agambye nti, “Baddire ekitole ky’ettiini bakisiige ku jjute, liwone.”
22 Also Hezekiah had said, What is ye signe, that I shall goe vp into the House of the Lord?
Kubanga Keezeekiya yali abuuzizza nti, “Kabonero ki akalaga nga ndiwona ne ntuuka okulagako mu nnyumba ya Mukama?”
