Esias 38
1 And it came to pass at that time, [that] Ezekias was sick even to death. And Esaias the prophet the son of Amos came to him, and said to him, Thus says the Lord, Give orders concerning your house: for you shall die, and not live.
Nthawi imeneyo Mfumu Hezekiya anadwala ndipo anali pafupi kufa. Mneneri Yesaya mwana wa Amozi anapita kukamuona ndipo anati “Yehova akuti: Konza bwino nyumba yako, pakuti ukufa; suchira.”
2 And Ezekias turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying,
Hezekiya anatembenuka nayangʼana kukhoma, napemphera kwa Yehova kuti,
3 Remember, O Lord, how I have walked before you in truth, with a true heart, and have done that which was pleasing in your sight. And Ezekias wept bitterly.
“Inu Yehova, kumbukirani momwe ndayendera pamaso panu mokhulupirika ndi modzipereka ndipo ndakhala ndikuchita zabwino pamaso panu.” Ndipo Hezekiya analira mosweka mtima.
4 And the word of the Lord came to Esaias, saying, Go, and say to Ezekias,
Ndipo Yehova analamula Yesaya kuti:
5 Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father, I have heard your prayer, and seen your tears: behold, I [will] add to your time fifteen years.
“Pita kwa Hezekiya ndipo ukamuwuze kuti, ‘Yehova, Mulungu wa kholo lake Davide akuti: Ndamva pemphero lako ndipo misozi yako ndayiona; ndidzakuwonjezera zaka 15 pa moyo wako.
6 And I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians: and I will defend this city.
Ndipo ndidzakupulumutsa, iwe pamodzi ndi mzindawu mʼdzanja la mfumu ya ku Asiriya, Ine ndidzawuteteza mzindawu.
7 And this [shall be] a sign to you from the Lord, that God will do this thing;
“‘Ichi ndi chizindikiro cha Yehova kwa iwe kutsimikiza kuti Yehova adzachita zimene walonjeza:
8 behold, I will turn back the shadow of the degrees [of the dial] by which ten degrees on the house of your father the sun has gone down—I will turn back the sun the ten degrees; so the sun went back the ten degrees by which the shadow had gone down.
Chithunzithunzi chimene dzuwa likuchititsa pa makwerero a Ahazi ndidzachibweza mʼmbuyo makwerero khumi.’” Ndipo chithunzithunzi chinabwerera mʼmbuyo makwerero khumi.
9 THE PRAYER OF EZEKIAS KING OF JUDEA, WHEN HE HAD BEEN SICK, AND WAS RECOVERED FROM HIS SICKNESS.
Ndakatulo ya Hezekiya mfumu ya ku Yuda imene analemba atadwala ndi kuchira:
10 I said in the end of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I shall part with the remainder of my years. (Sheol h7585)
Ine ndinaganiza kuti ndidzapita ku dziko la akufa pamene moyo ukukoma. (Sheol h7585)
11 I said, I shall no more at all see the salvation of God in the land of the living: I shall no more at all see the salvation of Israel on the earth: I shall no more at all see man.
Ndinaganiza kuti, “Sindidzaonanso Yehova, mʼdziko la anthu amoyo, sindidzaonanso mtundu wa anthu kapena kukhala pamodzi ndi amene amakhala pa dziko lapansi lino.
12 [My life] has failed from among my kindred: I have parted with the remainder of my life: it has gone forth and departed from me, as one that having pitched a tent takes it down [again]: my breath was with me as a weaver's web, when she that weaves draws near to cut off [the] thread.
Nyumba yanga yasasuka ndipo yachotsedwa. Ngati tenti ya mʼbusa mwapindapinda moyo wanga, ngati munthu wowomba nsalu; kuyambira usana mpaka usiku mwakhala mukundisiya.
13 In that day I was given up as to a lion until the morning: so has he broken all my bones: for I was so given up from day [even] to night.
Ndinkalira kupempha chithandizo usiku wonse mpaka mmawa; koma Inu Yehova munaphwanya mafupa anga ngati mkango, ndipo mwakhala mukundisiya.
14 As a swallow, so will I cry, and as a dove, so do I mourn: for mine eyes have failed with looking to the height of heaven to the Lord, who has delivered me, and removed the sorrow of my soul.
Ndinkalira ngati namzeze kapena chumba, ndinkabuwula ngati nkhunda yodandaula. Maso anga anatopa nʼkuyangʼana mlengalenga. Inu Ambuye, ine ndili mʼmavuto bwerani mudzandithandize!”
Koma ine ndinganene chiyani? Yehova wayankhula nane, ndipo Iye ndiye wachita zimenezi. Chifukwa cha kuwawa kwa mtima wanga, ine ndidzayenda modzichepetsa masiku amoyo wanga onse.
16 [Yes], O Lord, for it was told you concerning this; and you have revived my breath; and I am comforted, and live.
Ambuye, masiku anga ali mʼmanja mwanu. Mzimu wanga upeza moyo mwa Inu. Munandichiritsa ndi kundikhalitsa ndi moyo.
17 For you have chosen my soul, that it should not perish: and you have cast all [my] sins behind me.
Ndithudi, ine ndinamva zowawa zotere kuti ndikhale ndi moyo; Inu munandisunga kuti ndisapite ku dzenje la chiwonongeko chifukwa mwakhululukira machimo anga onse.
18 For they that are in the grave shall not praise you, neither shall the dead bless you, neither shall they that are in Hades hope for your mercy. (Sheol h7585)
Pakuti akumanda sangathe kukutamandani, akufa sangayimbe nyimbo yokutamandani. Iwo amene akutsikira ku dzenje sangakukhulupirireni. (Sheol h7585)
19 The living shall bless you, as I also [do]: for from this day shall I beget children, who shall declare your righteousness,
Amoyo, amoyo okha ndiwo amakutamandani, monga mmene ndikuchitira ine lero lino; abambo amawuza ana awo za kukhulupirika kwanu.
20 O God of my salvation; and I will not cease blessing you with the lute all the days of my life before the house of God.
Yehova watipulumutsa. Tiyeni tiyimbe ndi zoyimbira za zingwe masiku onse a moyo wathu mʼNyumba ya Yehova.
21 Now Esaias had said to Ezekias; Take a cake of figs, and mash them, and apply them as a plaster, and you shall be well.
Yesaya anati, “Anthu atenge mʼbulu wankhunyu ndipo apake pa chithupsacho ndipo Hezekiya adzachira.”
22 And Ezekias said, This is a sign to Ezekias, that I shall go up to the house of God.
Hezekiya nʼkuti atafunsa kuti, “Kodi chizindikiro chako nʼchiyani chotsimikiza kuti ndidzapita ku Nyumba ya Yehova?”
