Isaiah 38
1 In those days, was Hezekiah sick, unto death, —and Isaiah the prophet son of Amoz came in unto him, and said unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh, Set in order thy house, for, about to die thou art and shalt not recover.
Hatnae hninnaw dawkvah, Hezekiah teh meimei kadout lah a pataw. Hatnavah, Amoz capa Isaiah ahni koe a tho teh, hettelah ati pouh: BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Nang teh na hring mahoeh toe. Na due han toung dawkvah, na imthungnaw hah lawk thui lawih, atipouh.
2 Then Hezekiah turned his face unto the wall, —and prayed unto Yahweh;
Hattoteh Hezekiah teh tapang koelah a kangvawi teh, BAWIPA koe,
3 and said, —I beseech thee, O Yahweh, remember, I pray thee, how I have walked before thee in faithfulness and with an undivided heart, and, that which is good in thine eyes, have I done. And Hezekiah wept aloud.
Oe! BAWIPA, kai teh Bawipa na hmalah yuemkamcunae hoi ka lungthin abuemlah kho ka sak e hoi na hmalah hnokahawi ka sak e hah na pouk pouh haw, telah a ratoum. Hathnukkhu, Hezekiah siangpahrang teh puenghoi a khuika.
4 Then came the word of Yahweh unto, Isaiah, saying:
Hahoi, BAWIPA e lawk teh Isaiah koe bout a tho teh,
5 Go, and say unto Hezekiah—Thus, saith Yahweh, the God of David thy father: I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears, —Behold me! about to add unto thy days, fifteen years;
nang teh Hezekiah siangpahrang koe cet nateh, na pa Devit e Cathut Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Nange ratoum lawk teh ka thai toe. Nange mitphi hai ka hmu toe. Nange hringnae dawk kum 15 touh ka thapsin han.
6 And out of the hand of the king of Assyria, will I deliver thee, and this city; And I will throw a covering over this city.
Nang hoi hete kho hah Assyria kut dawk hoi ka hlout sak han.
7 And, this, to thee, shall be the sign from Yahweh, —that Yahweh will do this thing which he hath spoken: —
Hethateh, BAWIPA ni ka sak roeroe han titeh lawk a kam e, nang hanelah BAWIPA e mitnoutnae doeh.
8 Behold me! causing the shadow on the steps, which hath come gone down on the steps of Ahaz with the sun, to return, backwards ten steps. So the sun returned ten steps, by the steps which it had come down.
Khenhaw! Ahaz e kanîsuimilam dawk a tâhlip lakhout hra touh hnuklah bout ka ban sak han ati. Ati e patetlah kaloum tangcoung e a tâhlip lakhout hra touh hnuklah bout a ban.
9 the writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick and then recovered from his sickness:
Judah siangpahrang Hezekiah ni a patawnae koehoi bout a dam hnukkhu a thut e ca hateh,
10 I, said—In the noontide of my days, I must enter the gates of hades, —I am deprived of the residue of my years! (Sheol h7585)
muengmueng ka o navah, ka due han doeh toe. Kaawm rae hringnae ka coe hoeh toe telah ka ti. (Sheol h7585)
11 I said—I shall not see Yah, Yah, in the land of the living, I shall discern the son of earth no longer, with the dwellers in the quiet land.
BAWIPA teh ka hmawt mahoeh toe, kahringnaw onae koe BAWIPA teh ka hmawt mahoeh toe ka ti.
12 My dwelling, hath been broken up. And is stripped from me, like a shepherd’s tent, —I have rolled up—as a weaver—my life From the loom, doth he cut me off, From day until night, [I said] —Thou wilt finish me.
Tukhoumkung e rim patetlah kai ka onae im hah beng a sawn awh teh, yout a la awh toe. Hni ka kawng e ni a kalawng e patetlah kahringnae hah kalawng lah ao teh, hnikawngnae dawk hoi kai teh na takhoe han toe. Hnin touh hoi kai hah na poutsak awh han toe.
13 I cried out, until morning, like a lion, Thus, will he break all my bones! From day until night, Thou wilt finish me!
Kaie ka hrunaw hah sendek patetlah a khoe, kai teh amom ditouh duem ka o. Hnin touh hoi rum touh thung dawk kai teh poutnae koe na phakhai.
14 As a twittering swallow, so, do I chatter, I coo as a dove, —Mine eyes languish through looking on high, O My Lord! distress is upon me—my Surety!
Pingpit patetlah kahram teh bakhu patetlah ka cingou. Kahlun lah ka khet boteh, ka mit a tha a tawn. Oe Bawipa, runae thouk ka kâhmo dawkvah, kai hanelah hloutnae amahkhan lah awm haw ka ti.
15 What can I say? Since he hath promised for me, Himself, will perform. I will go softly, all my years. Because of the bitterness of my soul,
Bangtelamouh ka dei han toung. Bawipa ma ni na dei pouh e patetlah ama ni a sak toe. Ka muitha ni a khangnae dawkvah, kai teh paiyaica hoi doeh kahring nathung lam ka cei han toe.
16 O My Lord! on those things do men live, —And, altogether in them, is the life of my spirit, When thou hast strengthened me and made me live.
Oe Bawipa, hot patet e hnonaw hoi doeh taminaw teh a hring awh. Hotnaw dawk doeh ka muitha teh a hring. Bawipa, nang ni kai hah na dam sak nateh, na hring sak haw.
17 Lo! for well-being, I had bitterness—bitterness, —But, thou, cleaving unto my soul, hast raised me from the pit of corruption, For thou hast cast, behind thy back all my sins.
Puenghoi ka khangnae teh, kai hanelah hawi nahane doeh. Bawipa nang ni na lungpataw dawkvah, rawknae koehoi na rasa toe. Bawipa, nang ni kaie yonnae pueng hah hnuk lah na tâkhawng pouh toe.
18 For, hades, cannot praise thee Nor, death, celebrate thee, —They who go down to the pit cannot wait for thy faithfulness. (Sheol h7585)
Bangkongtetpawiteh, phuen niteh, nang koe lunghawilawk dei thai hoeh. Tami kadout ni nang na pholen thai hoeh. Tangkom dawk ka bawt e ni nange yuemkamcunae hah ngaihawi thai hoeh. (Sheol h7585)
19 The living, the living, he, can praise thee, As I do this day, —A father, to his children, can make known thy faithfulness.
Kahring e, kahring e ni dueng doeh, sahnin kai ni lunghawilawk ka dei e patetlah lunghawilawk a dei. Na pa ni canaw koe nange yuemkamcunae hah a cangkhai.
20 Yahweh, [was willing] to save me, —Therefore, on my stringed instruments, will we play—All the days of our life By the house of Yahweh.
BAWIPA ni na rungngang han lah coungkacoe ao. Hatdawkvah, kahring nathung hnintangkuem vah, BAWIPA e im dawkvah, rui thueng e naw hah ka kueng han.
21 And Isaiah had said, Let them take a cake of figs, and let them press it over the boil, that he may recover.
Hathnukkhu, Isaiah ni, thaibunglung paw abuem hah sin awh nateh, a hmâ dawk ramuk pouh awh. Siangpahrang teh bet a dam han atipouh.
22 And Hezekiah had said—What is the sign—that I shall go up unto the house of Yahweh?
Hezekiah siangpahrang nihai, BAWIPA e im dawk kai ka luen nahanelah bangpatet e mitnout maw kaawm telah a pacei.
