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.

I aua ra ka turoro a Hetekia, me kahore ka marere. Na ka haere a Ihaia poropiti, tama a Amoho ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Whakahaua iho tou whare, no te mea ka mate koe, e kore e ora.

2 Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord,

Na ka tahuri te mata o Hetekia ki te pakitara, a ka inoi ki a Ihowa,

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.

Ka mea, Tena ra, e Ihowa kia mahara ki oku haereerenga i tou aroaro i runga i te pono, i te ngakau tapatahi, ki taku meatanga i te pai ki tau titiro. Na tangi ana a Hetekia; nui atu te tangi.

4 Then came the worde of the Lord to Isaiah, saying,

Na ka puta te kupu a Ihowa ki a Ihaia, ka mea,

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.

Haere, mea atu ki a Hetekia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Rawiri, o tou tupuna, Kua rangona tau inoi e ahau, kua kitea e ahau ou roimata: nana, ka tapiritia e ahau ou ra ki nga tau kotahi tekau ma rima.

6 And I will deliuer thee out of the hand of the King of Asshur, and this citie: for I will defende this citie.

Ka whakaorangia koe me tenei pa e ahau i te ringa o te kingi o Ahiria; ka tiakina ano e ahau tenei pa;

7 And this signe shalt thou haue of ye Lord, that ye Lord will do this thing that he hath spoken,

Ko te tohu ano tenei a Ihowa ki a koe, ka oti i a Ihowa tenei mea i korerotia nei e ia.

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.

Nana, ka whakahokia ake e ahau te atarangi i nga nekehanga i heke atu ai i runga i te whakaatu haora a Ahata; kia tekau nga nekehanga whakamuri. Na kotahi tekau nga nekehanga i hoki ake ai te ra, no nga nekehanga ano i heke iho ai.

9 The writing of Hezekiah King of Iudah, when he had bene sicke, and was recouered of his sickenesse.

Ko te tuhituhi a Hetekia kingi o Hura, i a ia i mate ra, a ora ake ana i tona mate.

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)

I mea ahau, I te poutumarotanga o oku ra, tera ahau e tomo ki nga kuwaha o te reinga: kua tangohia atu i ahau te toenga o oku tau. (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.

I ki ahau, e kore ahau e kite i a Ihowa, ara i a Ihowa i runga i te whenua o te hunga ora; heoi ano aku tirohanga ki te tangata, ki te hunga e noho ana i te ao.

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.

Ko te wa i ahau nei kua riro, mauria atu ana i ahau, ano he teneti no te hepara; kei ta te kaiwhatu kakahu taku kopaki i toku ora; ka tapahia mai ahau e ia i roto i nga miro: i te ao, i te po, mutu pu taku i a koe.

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.

I whakamarie ahau i ahau a taea noatia te ata; tera tana e rite ki ta te raiona, ka wawahia e ia oku iwi katoa; i te ao, i te po, mutu pu taku i a koe.

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.

I koroki ahau, pera i ta te warou, i ta te kareni; i tangi ahau me te kukupa; matawaia ana oku kanohi i te tirohanga whakarunga. E Ihowa, e tukinotia ana ahau, pikitia toku turanga.

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.

Kia pehea he kupu maku? Nana i korero ki ahau, nana ano i mahi; i oku tau katoa ka ata haere ahau i runga i te kawa o toku wairua.

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.

E te Ariki, kei enei mea te ora o te tangata, kei enei mea katoa ano te ora o toku wairua: mo reira whakahokia ake ahau e koe ki te ora, kia ora ai ahau.

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.

Nana, he mea kia rangimarie ai ahau i pa ai te pouri kino ki ahau: otiia he aroha nou ki toku wairua i ora ai ahau i roto i te rua o te ngaromanga: kua oti nei hoki oku hara katoa te maka e koe ki muri i tou tuara.

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)

E kore hoki e taea e te reinga te whakawhetai ki a koe, e kore te mate e ahei te whakamoemiti ki a koe; ko te hunga e heke ana ki te rua kahore o ratou tumanako ki tou pono. (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.

Ko te tangata ora, ko te tangata ora, mana te whakawhetai ki a koe, te penei me taku nei i tenei ra: tera tou pono ka whakakitea e te matua ki nga tamariki.

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.

I tata mai a Ihowa ki te whakaora i ahau, mo reira ka waiatatia e matou aku waiata i runga i nga aho whakatangi i nga ra katoa e ora ai matou i roto i te whare o Ihowa.

21 Then said Isaiah, Take a lumpe of drye figs and lay it vpon the boyle, and he shall recouer.

I ki hoki a Ihaia, Tikina he papa piki, whakapiritia ki te whewhe, a ka ora ia.

22 Also Hezekiah had said, What is ye signe, that I shall goe vp into the House of the Lord?

I ki ano a Hetekia, He aha te tohu tera ahau ka haere ki runga ki te whare o Ihowa?
