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.”
Mumazuva iwayo Hezekia akarwara kusvikira oda kufa. Muprofita Isaya mwanakomana waAmozi akaenda kwaari akati, “Zvanzi naJehovha: Gadzirisa zveimba yako, nokuti uri kuzofa; hausi kuzopona.”
2 And Hezekiah turns around his face to the wall, and prays to YHWH,
Hezekia akatendeukira kumadziro akanyengetera kuna Jehovha achiti,
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.
“Rangarirai henyu, Jehovha, kuti ndakafamba sei nokutendeka pamberi penyu nomwoyo wose nechokwadi uye ndikaita zvakanaka pamberi penyu.” Hezekia akachema kwazvo.
4 And a word of YHWH is to Isaiah, saying,
Ipapo shoko raJehovha rakauya kuna Isaya richiti,
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,
“Enda undoti kuna Hezekia, ‘Zvanzi naJehovha, Mwari wababa vako Dhavhidhi: Ndanzwa munyengetero wako uye ndaona misodzi yako; ndichawedzera makore gumi namashanu paupenyu hwako.
6 and out of the hand of the king of Asshur I deliver you and this city, and have covered over this city.
Uye ndichakurwira iwe neguta rino kubva muruoko rwamambo weAsiria. Ndicharwira guta rino.
7 And this [is] to you the sign from YHWH, that YHWH does this thing that He has spoken.
“‘Ichi ndicho chiratidzo chaJehovha kwauri kuti Jehovha achaita zvose zvaakavimbisa:
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.
Ndichaita kuti mumvuri waitwa pazuva udzokere shure nhambwe gumi pamutaro wawanga wafamba pamanera aAhazi.’” Saizvozvo zuva rakadzokera shure nhambwe gumi dzarakanga radzika.
9 A writing of Hezekiah king of Judah concerning his being sick when he revives from his sickness:
Chinyorwa chaHezekia mambo weJudha mushure mokurwara nokupora kwake:
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)
Ndakati, “Mazuva oupenyu hwangu achangotanga ndingafanira kupinda mumasuo orufu here? Ndigotorerwa makore angu asara here?” (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.
Ndakati, “Handichazoonizve Jehovha, iye Jehovha, munyika yavapenyu; handichazotarisizve kuvanhu kana kuva naavo vagere munyika ino zvino.
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.
Setende romufudzi, imba yangu yakoromorwa uye yatorwa. Somuruki ndapeta upenyu hwangu, uye iye andigura kubva pachirukiso; masikati namadekwana makaita kuti ndigume.
13 I have set [Him] as a lion until morning, So He breaks all my bones, From day to night You end me.
Ndakamirira nomwoyo murefu kusvikira mambakwedza, asi iye akavhuna mapfupa angu ose kufanana nezvinoitwa neshumba; masikati namadekwana makaita kuti ndigume.
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.
Ndakarira senyenganyenga kana kondo. Ndakachema sokuchema kunoita njiva. Meso angu akaneta nokutarisa kudenga. Haiwa Jehovha, ndine nhamo, uyai mundinunure!”
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.
Asi ndingati kudiniko? Iye ataura neni, uye iye ndiye aita izvi. Ndichafamba nokuzvininipisa pamakore angu ose, nokuda kwokurwadziwa kwomwoyo wangu.
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,
Ishe, vanhu vanorarama nezvinhu zvakadai; uye mweya wangu unowana upenyu mazviriwo. Makandiporesa mukandiraramisa.
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.
Zvirokwazvo kutambudzika kwangu kukuru kwakandivigira rugare. Murudo rwenyu makandirwira pagomba rokuparadzwa; makaisa zvivi zvangu zvose shure kwenyu,
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)
Nokuti guva haringagoni kukurumbidzai, rufu harugoni kukurumbidzai nenziyo; vanodzika kugomba havangagoni kutarisira kutendeka kwenyu. (Sheol h7585)
19 The living, the living, he confesses You,
Vapenyu, ivo vapenyu, ndivo vanokurumbidzai, sezvandiri kuita iye nhasi; madzibaba anoudza vana vavo nezvokutendeka kwenyu.
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.”
Jehovha achandiponesa, uye tichaimba nemitengeranwa, mazuva ose oupenyu hwedu mutemberi yaJehovha.
21 And Isaiah says, “Let them take a bunch of figs, and plaster over the ulcer, and he lives.”
Zvino Isaya akanga ati, “Gadzirai bundu ramaonde mugoriisa pamota, uye achapora.”
22 And Hezekiah says, “What [is] the sign that I go up to the house of YHWH?”
Hezekia akanga abvunza achiti, “Chiratidzo chichava chei chokuti ndiende kutemberi yaJehovha?”
