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.
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 Then Hezekiah turned his face unto the wall, —and prayed unto Yahweh;
Hezekia akatendeukira kumadziro akanyengetera kuna Jehovha achiti,
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.
“Rangarirai henyu, Jehovha, kuti ndakafamba sei nokutendeka pamberi penyu nomwoyo wose nechokwadi uye ndikaita zvakanaka pamberi penyu.” Hezekia akachema kwazvo.
4 Then came the word of Yahweh unto, Isaiah, saying:
Ipapo shoko raJehovha rakauya kuna Isaya richiti,
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;
“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 Assyria, will I deliver thee, and this city; And I will throw a covering over this city.
Uye ndichakurwira iwe neguta rino kubva muruoko rwamambo weAsiria. Ndicharwira guta rino.
7 And, this, to thee, shall be the sign from Yahweh, —that Yahweh will do this thing which he hath spoken: —
“‘Ichi ndicho chiratidzo chaJehovha kwauri kuti Jehovha achaita zvose zvaakavimbisa:
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.
Ndichaita kuti mumvuri waitwa pazuva udzokere shure nhambwe gumi pamutaro wawanga wafamba pamanera aAhazi.’” Saizvozvo zuva rakadzokera shure nhambwe gumi dzarakanga radzika.
9 the writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick and then recovered from his sickness:
Chinyorwa chaHezekia mambo weJudha mushure mokurwara nokupora kwake:
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)
Ndakati, “Mazuva oupenyu hwangu achangotanga ndingafanira kupinda mumasuo orufu here? Ndigotorerwa makore angu asara here?” (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.
Ndakati, “Handichazoonizve Jehovha, iye Jehovha, munyika yavapenyu; handichazotarisizve kuvanhu kana kuva naavo vagere munyika ino zvino.
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.
Setende romufudzi, imba yangu yakoromorwa uye yatorwa. Somuruki ndapeta upenyu hwangu, uye iye andigura kubva pachirukiso; masikati namadekwana makaita kuti ndigume.
13 I cried out, until morning, like a lion, Thus, will he break all my bones! From day until night, Thou wilt finish me!
Ndakamirira nomwoyo murefu kusvikira mambakwedza, asi iye akavhuna mapfupa angu ose kufanana nezvinoitwa neshumba; masikati namadekwana makaita kuti ndigume.
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!
Ndakarira senyenganyenga kana kondo. Ndakachema sokuchema kunoita njiva. Meso angu akaneta nokutarisa kudenga. Haiwa Jehovha, ndine nhamo, uyai mundinunure!”
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,
Asi ndingati kudiniko? Iye ataura neni, uye iye ndiye aita izvi. Ndichafamba nokuzvininipisa pamakore angu ose, nokuda kwokurwadziwa kwomwoyo wangu.
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.
Ishe, vanhu vanorarama nezvinhu zvakadai; uye mweya wangu unowana upenyu mazviriwo. Makandiporesa mukandiraramisa.
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.
Zvirokwazvo kutambudzika kwangu kukuru kwakandivigira rugare. Murudo rwenyu makandirwira pagomba rokuparadzwa; makaisa zvivi zvangu zvose shure kwenyu,
18 For, hades, cannot praise thee Nor, death, celebrate thee, —They who go down to the pit cannot wait for thy faithfulness. (Sheol h7585)
Nokuti guva haringagoni kukurumbidzai, rufu harugoni kukurumbidzai nenziyo; vanodzika kugomba havangagoni kutarisira kutendeka kwenyu. (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.
Vapenyu, ivo vapenyu, ndivo vanokurumbidzai, sezvandiri kuita iye nhasi; madzibaba anoudza vana vavo nezvokutendeka kwenyu.
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.
Jehovha achandiponesa, uye tichaimba nemitengeranwa, mazuva ose oupenyu hwedu mutemberi yaJehovha.
21 And Isaiah had said, Let them take a cake of figs, and let them press it over the boil, that he may recover.
Zvino Isaya akanga ati, “Gadzirai bundu ramaonde mugoriisa pamota, uye achapora.”
22 And Hezekiah had said—What is the sign—that I shall go up unto the house of Yahweh?
Hezekia akanga abvunza achiti, “Chiratidzo chichava chei chokuti ndiende kutemberi yaJehovha?”
