Isaiah 38
1 In those days Hezekiah fell sick unto death; and there came unto him Isaiah the son of Amoz, the prophet, and said unto him, Thus hath said the Lord, Give thy charge to thy house; for thou shalt die, and not live.
Nan jou sa yo, Ézéchias te vin malad, prèt pou mouri. Epi Ésaïe, pwofèt la, fis a Amots la, te vin kote li. Li te di l: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Mete lakay ou an lòd, paske ou va mouri; ou p ap viv.’”
2 Then did Hezekiah turn his face to the wall, and prayed unto the Lord.
Ézéchias te vire figi li vè mi kay la pou te priye a SENYÈ a.
3 And he said, O Lord, I beseech thee remember now that I have walked before thee in truth, and with an undivided heart, and have done what is good in thy eyes. And Hezekiah wept aloud.
Li te di: “Sonje koulye a, O SENYÈ, mwen mande Ou souple, pou jan mwen te mache devan Ou nan verite, ak yon kè entèg e te fè sa ki te bon devan zye Ou.” Konsa, Ézéchias te plere byen fò.
4 Then came the word of the Lord to Isaiah, saying,
Alò, pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote Ésaïe, epi te di l:
5 Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus hath said 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.
“Ale pale ak Ézéchias epi di li: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Mwen te tande lapriyè ou, Mwen te wè dlo ki t ap sòti nan zye ou. Gade byen, Mwen va mete kenzan sou lavi ou.
6 And out of the hand of the king of Assyria will I deliver thee and this city; and I will shield this city.
Mwen va delivre ou ak vil sa a soti nan men a wa Assyrie a, epi Mwen va defann vil sa a.”’
7 And this shall be unto thee the sign from the Lord, that the Lord will do this thing which he hath spoken:
Konsa, sa va sign pou ou soti nan SENYÈ a, ke SENYÈ a va fè bagay sa ke Li te pale a:
8 Behold, I will cause the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down on the dial of Achaz by the sun, to return backward ten degrees. So the sun returned ten degrees, by the degrees which he was gone down.
Gade byen, Mwen va fè lonbraj sou eskalye a, lonbraj ki te desann avèk solèy la sou eskalye Achaz la, pou fè back dis pa.” Epi konsa lonbraj solèy la te fè bak dis pa sou menm eskalye kote li te desann nan.
9 The writing of Hezekiah the king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness:
Men yon chanson ke Ézéchias te ekri apre li te malad e te vin refè a:
10 I had said, In the midst of my days, must I enter the gates of the nether world; I am deprived of the residue of my years. (Sheol h7585)
Mwen te di: “Nan mitan lavi m, mwen gen pou antre nan pòtay Sejou mò yo. Mwen gen pou pèdi tout rès ane mwen yo.” (Sheol h7585)
11 I had said, I shall not see the Lord, the Lord, in the land of the living: I shall not behold man any more among the inhabitants of the regions of death.
Mwen te di: “Mwen p ap wè SENYÈ a; SENYÈ nan peyi vivan yo. Mwen p ap wè moun ankò pami sila ki viv nan mond yo.
12 My dwelling is broken down, and is removed from me as a shepherd's tent: I have cut off, like a weaver, my life; with pining sickness will he snatch me away: from day until night wilt thou make an end of me.
Tankou tant a yon bèje, lakay mwen va rache retire sou mwen. Tankou yon bòs twal, m ap woule fè monte lavi m. L ap koupe m fè m sòti nan ankadreman bòs twal la. Soti lajounen rive nan lannwit, Ou va fè yon fen ak mwen.
13 I waited [with patience] till morning, [whether] as a lion, so would he break all my bones: from day until night wilt thou make an end of me.
Mwen te kalme nanm mwen jis rive nan maten. Tankou yon lyon—se konsa Li kraze tout zo m, soti lajounen jis rive lannwit, ou fè yon fen ak mwen.
14 Like a swallow or a crane, so did I chirp; I did moan like a dove; my eyes were lifted up on high: O Lord, I am oppressed; grant me ease.
Tankou yon iwondèl, tankou yon zwazo se konsa mwen kriye. Mwen plenyen kon yon toutrèl. Zye m gade ak feblès vè wotè yo. O Senyè, mwen oprime! Fè m sekou!
15 What shall I speak? he hath promised it unto me, and he hath also accomplished it; I will make pilgrimages [to God's house] all my years because of the bitterness of my soul.
Kisa mwen kapab di? Non sèlman Li te pale ak mwen, Men Li, Li menm, te fè l. Mwen va mache an règ pandan tout ane m yo akoz gou anmè kè m fin goute.
16 O Lord, by these [things men] will live, and in all these [things] is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou give me health, and cause me to live.
O Senyè, se pou bagay sa yo ke moun viv, e nan sa yo, lespri m jwenn lavi. Ou te fè m twouve lasante e te fè m viv!
17 Behold, for peace I had great bitterness; but thou hast, in loving my soul, delivered it from the pit of corruption; for thou hast cast behind thy back all my sins.
Alò, mwen te manke gen lapè; men Ou menm ki te kenbe nanm mwen, pou l pa antre nan fòs gwo abim nan, Ou te jete tout peche m yo dèyè do Ou.
18 For the nether world will not thank thee, death will not praise thee: they that go down into the pit will not hope for thy truth. (Sheol h7585)
Paske Sejou mò yo p ap ka remèsye Ou. Lanmò menm p ap ka bay Ou lwanj. Sila ki desann nan fos yo p ap ka gen espwa fidelite Ou. (Sheol h7585)
19 The living, the living alone shall thank thee, like me this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.
Se vivan, vivan yo ki bay Ou remèsiman, tankou mwen menm, mwen fè jodi a. Yon papa va pale ak fis li yo selon fidelite Ou.
20 The Lord is there to help me; therefore we will play my hymns all the days of our life in the house of the Lord.
Anverite, SENYÈ a va sove mwen. Konsa, nou va chante chanson mwen yo sou enstriman kòd yo pou tout lavi nou lakay SENYÈ a.”
21 And Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaster upon the inflammation, and he shall recover.
Alò Ésaïe te di: “Kite yo fè yon pomad ak gato fig etranje e mete li sou abse a, pou l ka geri.”
22 And Hezekiah had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the Lord?
Epi Ézéchias te di: “Se kisa k ap sign ke mwen va monte lakay SENYÈ a?”
