Isaiah 38
1 About that time, Hezekiah became [very] ill and was close to dying. [So] I went to see him. And I gave him this message: “This is what Yahweh says: ‘You should tell the people in your palace what you want them to do after you die, because you will not recover from this illness. You are going to die’”
Amo esoga agoane, hina bagade Hesigaia da olole, gadenenewane bogoi. Balofede dunu Aisaia (A: imose egefe) da ema ba: la asili, ema amane sia: i, “Hina Gode da dima dia hou amola liligi hahamoma: ne sia: sa. Bai di da hame uhimu. Di bogoma: ne momagema.”
2 Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed this:
Hesigaia da ea odagi dobea amoga delegili, amane sia: ne gadoi,
3 “Yahweh, do not forget that I have always served you very faithfully, and I have done things that pleased you!” Then Hezekiah [started to] cry loudly.
“Hina Gode! Dawa: ma! Na da mae fisili, Dia hawa: hamosu hamonanu. Na da Dia hanai hamoma: ne, eso huluane hawa: hamomusa: dawa: i.” Amalalu, e da se nabawane ha: giwane dinanu.
4 [I left his room, but] Yahweh gave me this message:
Amalalu, Hina Gode da Aisaia amoma,
5 “Go [back] to Hezekiah and tell him that this is what I, the God to whom your ancestor King David belonged, say: ‘I have heard what you prayed, and I have seen you crying. So listen: I will enable you to live 15 years more.
e da Hesigaia amoma bu masa: ne, amola ema agoane sia: ma: ne sia: i, “Na, Hina Godedafa, dia musa: ada Da: ibidi ea Gode, Na da dia sia: ne gadosu nabi, amola dia disu si hano ba: i dagoi. Di da ode eno 15 agoane bu esaloma: ne, Na da logo doasimu.
6 And, I will rescue you and this city from the power [MTY] of the King of Assyria. I will defend this city.
Asilia hina bagade da di amola Yelusalemega mae hasanasima: ne, Na da gaga: mu, amola gaga: lalumu.”
7 And this is what I will do to prove that I will do what I have just now promised. I will cause the shadow of the sun to move ten steps backward on the sundial that was built by King Ahaz.’”
Aisaia da Hesigaiama bu adole i, (Hesigaia da Aisaia 38:22 amo ganodini adole ba: i) “Hina Gode da Ea sia: i da dafawaneyale olelema: ne, dima dawa: digisu hahamomu, agoane,
8 So the shadow of the sun on the sundial moved backward ten steps.
hina bagade A: iha: se ea fa: gu gagui, amoga eso baba ea ba: su da delegili, fa: gu bubulufai nabuane amoga buhagimu.” Amola eso ea baba da bu delegili, fa: gu bubulufai nabuane bu sinidigi.
9 When King Hezekiah was almost well again, he wrote this:
Hesigaia ea oloi da uhini, amo nodosu gesami hea: su dedei,
10 I thought to myself, “Is it necessary for me to die and go to the place where the dead people are during this time of my life when I am still strong? Is Yahweh going to rob me of the remaining years that I [should live]?” (Sheol h7585)
“Na da na esalebe eso amoga, bogoi sogebi amoga masusa: dawa: i galu. Na da na esalebe defei, defele esalumu hame dawa: i. (Sheol h7585)
11 I said, “I will not see Yahweh [again] in this world where people are alive. I will not see my friends again, or be with others who [now] are alive in this world.
Na da osobo bagadega (dunu esalebe ilia soge), Hina Gode amola esalebe dunu bu hame ba: musa: dawa: i galu.
12 [It is as if] my life has been taken away like [SIM] a tent [whose pegs] have been pulled up by a shepherd and taken away. My time to live has been cut short, like a piece of cloth that a weaver [cuts and] rolls up [after he has finished weaving a cloth].” Suddenly, [it seemed that] my life was ending.
Na esalusu da hedofai dagoi ba: i. Abula diasu mugului amola abula amo da amunisu amoga hedofai, na esalusu da amo defele hedofai dagoi ba: i. Gode da na esalusu dagomusa: , na da dawa: i dagoi.
13 I waited patiently all during the night, but [my pain was as though] [MET] I was being torn apart by lions. [It seemed that] my life was finished.
Na da se bagade, laione wa: me da na gasa huluane filalu defele, amo nababeba: le, gasia dinanu. Gode da na esalusu dagolesima: bela: le, na da dawa: i dagoi.
14 [I was delirious, and] I chirped like a swift or a swallow, and moaned like a dove. My eyes became tired looking up [toward heaven] for help. I cried out, Lord, help me, [because] I am distressed!’
Na sia: da gasa hame agoai nabi. Na da “dafe” sio defele gogonomasu. Na da Hebene amoga ba: le gadolalebeba: le, na si da helei bagade nabi. Hina Gode! Amo bidi hamosu amoga na gaga: ma!
15 But there was really nothing [RHQ] that I could say and ask him to reply to me, because it was Yahweh who sent this illness. [So now] I will live humbly during my [remaining] years because I am very anguished.
Na da adi sia: ma: bela: ? Hina Gode da amo hou hamoi. Na dogo ganodini se naba. Na da golamu hamedei agoane ba: su.
16 Yahweh, the sufferings (OR, the promises) that you give are good, [because] what you do and what you say bring [new] life and health to us. And you restore/heal me and allow me [to continue] to live!
Hina Gode! Na da Dima hawa: hamoma: ne fawane esalumu. Na oloi uhinisima! Na esaloma: ne, Dia logo fodoma! Uhinisima!
17 Truly, my suffering was good for me; you loved me, and as a result you have rescued me from dying and have also forgiven all my sins.
Na da: i diosu da sinidigili, olofosu ba: mu. Di da na bidi hamosu huluane mae ba: ma: ne, gaga: sa. Di da na wadela: i hou huluane gogolema: ne olofosa.
18 Dead people [MTY] cannot praise you; they cannot sing to praise you. Those who have descended to their graves cannot confidently expect you to faithfully [do things for them]. (Sheol h7585)
Dunu ilia da bogoi sogebi amoga Dima nodomusa: hame dawa: Bogoi dunu da Dia mae fisili moloidafa hou amo dafawaneyale dawa: ma: ne hame dawa: (Sheol h7585)
19 Only people who are still alive, like I am, can praise you. Fathers tell their children how you are faithful, [and if I remain alive, I will do the same thing].
Esalebe dunu, ilia fawane da na waha Dima nodosu defele, Dima nodone sia: ne gadosu dawa: Osobo bagade eda ilia da ilia mano ilima Dia mae fisili fidisu hou olelesa.
20 [I know that] Yahweh will fully heal me, [so] I will sing to praise him while others praise him playing musical instruments; I will do that every day of my life, in the temple of Yahweh.”
Hina Gode! Di da na uhinisi dagoi. Ninia da sani baidama dumu amola Dima nodoma: ne gesami hea: mu. Ninia da Dia Debolo Diasu ganodini, eso huluane ninia esalea, Dima nodone gesami hea: mu.”
21 I had [previously] said to Hezekiah’s servants, “Prepare an ointment from [mashed] figs, and spread it on his boil, and then he will recover.” [So they did that, and Hezekiah recovered].
Aisaia da hina bagade Hesigaiama e da figi goudane, manoma hamoi amo ea dului amoga legelalu, e da uhini dagoi ba: ma: ne sia: i.
22 And Hezekiah had [previously] asked, “What will Yahweh do to prove that I will [recover and be able to] go to his temple?”
Amola hina bagade da musa: ema amane adole ba: i, “Na da Debolo Diasuga heda: mu defele ba: musa: , Hina Gode da adi dawa: digisu hahamosu olelema: bela: ?” (Aisaia 38:7 ba: ma)
