< Isaiah 38 >

1 In those days has Hezekiah been sick to death, and Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, comes to him and says to him, “Thus said YHWH: Give a charge to your house, for you [are] dying, and do 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 And Hezekiah turns around his face to the wall, and prays to YHWH,
Dia nitodika nankany amin’ ny rindrina Hezekia ka nivavaka tamin’ i Jehovah
3 and says, “Ah, now, O YHWH, please remember how I have habitually walked before You in truth, and with a perfect heart, and I have done that which [is] good in your eyes”; and Hezekiah weeps [with] a great weeping.
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 And a word of YHWH is to Isaiah, saying,
Dia tonga tamin’ Isaia ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
5 “Go, and you have said to Hezekiah, Thus said YHWH, God of your father David: I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tear, behold, I am adding fifteen years to your days,
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 out of the hand of the king of Asshur I deliver you and this city, and have covered over 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 [is] to you the sign from YHWH, that YHWH does this thing that He has spoken.
Ary izao no ho famantarana ho anao avy amin’ i Jehovah, hahalalanao fa Jehovah hanao izay zavatra nolazainy:
8 Behold, I am bringing back the shadow of the degrees that it has gone down on the degrees of Ahaz, by the sun, backward ten degrees”; and the sun turns back ten degrees in the degrees that it had 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 A writing of Hezekiah king of Judah concerning his being sick when he revives from his sickness:
Ny teny nosoratan’ i Hezekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, raha narary izy ka sitrana tamin’ ny aretiny:
10 “I said in the cutting off of my days, I go to the gates of Sheol, I have numbered the remnant 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 do not see YAH—YAH! In the land of the living, I do not behold man anymore, 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 sojourning has departed, And been removed from me as a shepherd’s tent, I have drawn together, as a weaver, my life, By weakness it cuts me off, From day to night You end 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 I have set [Him] as a lion until morning, So He breaks all my bones, From day to night You end 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 As a crane—a swallow—so I chatter, I mourn as a dove, My eyes have been drawn up on high, O YHWH, oppression [is] on me, be my guarantor.
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 do I say? Seeing He spoke to me, And He Himself has worked, I 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 Lord, [men] live by these, And by all in them [is] the life of my spirit, And You save me, make me to also 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, He changed bitterness to peace for me, And You have delighted in my soul without corruption, For You have cast all my sins behind Your 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 Sheol does not confess You, Death does not praise You, Those going down to the pit do not hope for Your 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 confesses You,
Ny velona dia ny velona ihany no hidera Anao, tahaka izao izaho anio izao; Ny ray hampahalala ny zanany ny fahamarinanao.
20 Like myself today; A father makes known to [his] sons of Your faithfulness, O YHWH—to save me: And we sing my songs all [the] days of our lives In the house of YHWH.”
Jehovah efa vonona hamonjy Ahy, Ka dia hitendry ny lokangako ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah izahay Amin’ ny andro rehetra iainanay.
21 And Isaiah says, “Let them take a bunch of figs, and plaster over the ulcer, and he lives.”
Ary hoy Isaia: Makà ampempan’ aviavy, ary apetaho amin’ ny vay izany, mba ho sitrana izy.
22 And Hezekiah says, “What [is] the sign that I go up to the house of YHWH?”
Ary hoy Hezekia: Inona no famantarana fa hiakatra ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah aho?
