< Isaiah 38 >

1 In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him: 'Thus saith the LORD: Set thy house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.'
Ary tamin’ izany andro izany dia narary saiky maty Hezekia; ary Isaia mpaminany zanak’ i Amoza, nankao aminy ka nilaza taminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Hafaro ny ankohonanao, fa ho faty ianao, fa tsy ho velona.
2 Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the LORD,
Dia nitodika nankany amin’ ny rindrina Hezekia ka nivavaka tamin’ i Jehovah
3 and said: 'Remember now, O LORD, I beseech Thee, how I have walked before Thee in truth and with a whole heart, and have done that which is good in Thy sight.' And Hezekiah wept sore.
hoe: Jehovah ô, enga anie ka hotsarovanao ny nandehanako teo anatrehanao tamin’ ny fahamarinana sy tamin’ ny foko rehetra ary ny nanaovako izay tsara eo imasonao Dia nitomany mafy dia mafy izy.
4 Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying:
Dia tonga tamin’ Isaia ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
5 'Go, and say to Hezekiah: Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father: I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears; behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years.
Mandehana, ka lazao amin’ i Hezekia hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitr’ i Davida rainao: Efa nohenoiko ny fitarainanao, ary efa hitako ny ranomasonao; indro, hampiako dimy ambin’ ny folo taona ny andronao,
6 And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city.
sady hamonjy anao sy ity tanàna ity amin’ ny tanan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria Aho; ary hiaro ity tanàna ity Aho.
7 And this shall be the sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that He hath spoken:
Ary izao no ho famantarana ho anao avy amin’ i Jehovah, hahalalanao fa Jehovah hanao izay zavatra nolazainy:
8 behold, I will cause the shadow of the dial, which is gone down on the sun-dial of Ahaz, to return backward ten degrees.' So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down.
Indro, hampiverina ny aloka hàdiny folo Aho araka ny nampidinan’ ny masoandro azy teo amin’ ny dialin’ i Ahaza. Ka dia niverina hàdiny folo ny masoandro, dia ilay efa nidinany.
9 The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness.
Ny teny nosoratan’ i Hezekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, raha narary izy ka sitrana tamin’ ny aretiny:
10 I said: In the noontide of my days I shall go, even to the gates of the nether-world; I am deprived of the residue of my years. (Sheol h7585)
Hoy izaho: Amin’ izao andro mbola iadanako izao no tsy maintsy idirako amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita; nesorina tamiko ny androko sisa. (Sheol h7585)
11 I said: I shall not see the LORD, even the LORD in the land of the living; I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world.
Hoy izaho: Tsy mba hahita an’ i Jehovah intsony aho. Eny, tsy mba hahita an’ i Jehovah ao amin’ ny velona intsony aho; Tsy mba hahita olona intsony aho, fa ho isan’ ny mponina any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita.
12 My habitation is plucked up and carried away from me as a shepherd's tent; I have rolled up like a weaver my life; He will cut me off from the thrum; from day even to night wilt Thou make an end of me.
Ny fonenako nesorina ka nafindra tsy ho amiko, tahaka ny lain’ ny mpiandry ondry; Ahoroko tahaka ny tenona ny androko, fa efa hotapahiny ho afaka amin’ ny haraka izy; Indray andro monja no anaperanao ny aiko.
13 The more I make myself like unto a lion until morning, the more it breaketh all my bones; from day even to night wilt Thou make an end of me.
Nampionona ny foko aho mandra-pahamarain’ ny andro; Tahaka ny fanapatapaky ny liona no anapatapahany ny taolako rehetra; Indray andro monja no anaperanao ny aiko.
14 Like a swallow or a crane, so do I chatter, I do moan as a dove; mine eyes fail with looking upward. O LORD, I am oppressed, be Thou my surety.
Ka dia mikoraraika tahaka ny sidintsidina sy ny vano aho. Ary mitolokoloko tahaka ny voromailala. Pahina ny masoko noho ny faniriako ho any amin’ ny avo; Jehovah ô, ory loatra aho, aoka hiantoka ahy Hianao.
15 What shall I say? He hath both spoken unto me, and Himself hath done it; I shall go softly all my years for the bitterness of my soul.
Ahoana no holazaiko? Sady nilaza tamiko Izy no nahatanteraka koa; Handeha mijoretra aho amin’ ny taonako sisa rehetra noho ny fangidian’ ny aiko.
16 O Lord, by these things men live, and altogether therein is the life of my spirit; wherefore recover Thou me, and make me to live.
Tompo ô, izany no iveloman’ ny olona, ary amin’ izany tokoa no iainan’ ny fanahiko, ka dia mahasitrana sy mahavelona ahy Hianao.
17 Behold, for my peace I had great bitterness; but Thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption; for Thou hast cast all my sins behind Thy back.
Indro, tonga fiadanana ilay fahoriana mangidy dia mangidy nanjo ahy, ary ny fitiavanao no namonjenao ny fanahiko tsy hankany amin’ ny lavaka fahalevonana; Fa narianao teo ivohonao ny fahotako rehetra.
18 For the nether-world cannot praise Thee, death cannot celebrate Thee; they that go down into the pit cannot hope for Thy truth. (Sheol h7585)
Fa ny fiainan-tsi-hita tsy mba mahasaotra Anao, ny fahafatesana tsy mahadera Anao; Fa izay midìna any an-davaka dia tsy mahazo manantena ny fahamarinanao. (Sheol h7585)
19 The living, the living, he shall praise Thee, as I do this day; the father to the children shall make known Thy truth.
Ny velona dia ny velona ihany no hidera Anao, tahaka izao izaho anio izao; Ny ray hampahalala ny zanany ny fahamarinanao.
20 The LORD is ready to save me; therefore we will sing songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD.
Jehovah efa vonona hamonjy Ahy, Ka dia hitendry ny lokangako ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah izahay Amin’ ny andro rehetra iainanay.
21 And Isaiah said: 'Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it for a plaster upon the boil, and he shall recover.'
Ary hoy Isaia: Makà ampempan’ aviavy, ary apetaho amin’ ny vay izany, mba ho sitrana izy.
22 And Hezekiah said. 'What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD?'
Ary hoy Hezekia: Inona no famantarana fa hiakatra ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah aho?
