< Isaiah 38 >

1 In those days hath Hezekiah been sick unto death, and come in unto him doth Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, and saith unto him, 'Thus said Jehovah: Give a charge to thy house, for thou [art] dying, and dost not live.'
Ní ọjọ́ náà ni Hesekiah ṣe àìsàn dé ojú ikú. Wòlíì Isaiah ọmọ Amosi sì lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, ó sì wí pé, “Ohun tí Olúwa wí nìyìí: Palẹ̀ ilé è rẹ mọ́, bí ó ti yẹ nítorí pé ìwọ yóò kú; ìwọ kì yóò dìde àìsàn yìí.”
2 And Hezekiah turneth round his face unto the wall, and prayeth unto Jehovah,
Hesekiah yí ojú u rẹ̀ sí ara ògiri, ó sì gba àdúrà sí Olúwa,
3 and saith, 'I pray thee, O Jehovah, remember, I pray Thee, how I have walked habitually before Thee in truth, and with a perfect heart, and that which [is] good in thine eyes I have done;' and Hezekiah weepeth — a great weeping.
“Rántí, Ìwọ Olúwa, bí mo ti rìn pẹ̀lú òtítọ́ níwájú rẹ, àti bí mo ti fi ọkàn dídúró ṣinṣin ṣe ohun tí ó dára ní ojú ù rẹ.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Hesekiah sì sọkún kíkorò.
4 And a word of Jehovah is unto Isaiah, saying,
Lẹ́yìn náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ Isaiah wá pé,
5 Go, and thou hast said to Hezekiah, Thus said Jehovah, God of David thy father, 'I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tear, lo, I am adding to thy days fifteen years,
“Lọ kí o sì sọ fún Hesekiah pé, ‘Ohun tí Olúwa wí nìyìí, Ọlọ́run Dafidi baba rẹ sọ pé, Èmi ti gbọ́ àdúrà rẹ mo sì ti rí omijé rẹ, Èmi yóò fi ọdún mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún kún ọjọ́ ayé rẹ.
6 and out of the hand of the king of Asshur I deliver thee and this city, and have covered over this city.
Èmi yóò sì gba ìwọ àti ìlú yìí sílẹ̀ kúrò lọ́wọ́ ọba Asiria. Èmi yóò sì dáàbò bo ìlú yìí.
7 And this [is] to thee the sign from Jehovah, that Jehovah doth this thing that He hath spoken.
“‘Èyí yìí ni àmì tí Olúwa fún ọ láti fihàn wí pé Olúwa yóò mú ìpinnu rẹ̀ ṣẹ.
8 Lo, I am bringing back the shadow of the degrees that it hath gone down on the degrees of Ahaz, by the sun, backward ten degrees:' and the sun turneth back ten degrees in the degrees that it had gone down.
Èmi yóò mú òjìji oòrùn kí ó padà sẹ́yìn ní ìṣísẹ̀ mẹ́wàá nínú èyí tí ó fi sọ̀kalẹ̀ ní ibi àtẹ̀gùn ti Ahasi.’” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni oòrùn padà sẹ́yìn ní ìṣísẹ̀ mẹ́wàá sí ibi tí ó ti dé tẹ́lẹ̀.
9 A writing of Hezekiah king of Judah concerning his being sick, when he reviveth from his sickness:
Ìwé tí Hesekiah ọba Juda kọ lẹ́yìn àìsàn rẹ̀ nígbà tí ó ti gbádùn tán.
10 'I — I said in the cutting off of my days, I go in to the gates of Sheol, I have numbered the remnant of mine years. (Sheol h7585)
Èmi wí pé, “Ní àárín gbùngbùn ọjọ́ ayé mi èmi ó ha kọjá lọ ní ibodè ikú kí a sì dùn mí ní àwọn ọdún mi tí ó ṣẹ́kù?” (Sheol h7585)
11 I said, I do not see Jah — Jah! In the land of the living, I do not behold man any more, With the inhabitants of the world.
Èmi wí pé, “Èmi kì yóò lè tún rí Olúwa mọ́, àní Olúwa, ní ilẹ̀ àwọn alààyè; èmi kì yóò lè síjú wo ọmọ ènìyàn mọ́, tàbí kí n wà pẹ̀lú àwọn tí ó sì ń gbe orílẹ̀ ayé báyìí.
12 My sojourning hath departed, And been removed from me as a shepherd's tent, I have drawn together, as a weaver, my life, By weakness it cutteth me off, From day unto night Thou dost end me.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí àgọ́ olùṣọ́-àgùntàn, ilé mi ni a ti wó lulẹ̀ tí a sì gbà kúrò lọ́wọ́ mi. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ahunṣọ mo ti ká ayé mi nílẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni òun sì ti ké mi kúrò lára àṣà; ọ̀sán àti òru ni ìwọ ṣe òpin mi.
13 I have set [Him] till morning as a lion, So doth He break all my bones, From day unto night Thou dost end me.
Èmi fi sùúrù dúró títí di àfẹ̀mọ́júmọ́, ṣùgbọ́n gẹ́gẹ́ bí kìnnìún ó ti fọ́ gbogbo egungun mi; ọ̀sán àti òru ni ìwọ fi ṣe òpin mi.
14 As a crane — a swallow — so I chatter, I mourn as a dove, Drawn up have been mine eyes on high, O Jehovah, oppression [is] on me, be my surety.
Èmi dún gẹ́gẹ́ bí àkọ̀ tàbí alápáǹdẹ̀dẹ̀, èmi káàánú gẹ́gẹ́ bí aṣọ̀fọ̀ àdàbà. Ojú mi rẹ̀wẹ̀sì gẹ́gẹ́ bí mo ti ń wo àwọn ọ̀run. Ìdààmú bá mi, Ìwọ Olúwa, wá fún ìrànlọ́wọ́ mi!”
15 — What do I say? seeing He said to me, And He Himself hath wrought, I go softly all my years for the bitterness of my soul.
Ṣùgbọ́n kí ni èmi lè sọ? Òun ti bá mi sọ̀rọ̀ àti pé òun tìkára rẹ̀ ló ti ṣe èyí. Èmi yóò máa rìn ní ìrẹ̀lẹ̀ ní gbogbo ọjọ́ mi nítorí ìpọ́njú ẹ̀mí mi yìí.
16 Lord, by these do [men] live, And by all in them [is] the life of my spirit, And Thou savest me, make me also to live,

17 Lo, to peace He changed for me bitterness, And Thou hast delighted in my soul without corruption, For Thou hast cast behind Thy back all my sins.

18 For Sheol doth not confess Thee, Death doth not praise Thee, Those going down to the pit hope not for Thy truth. (Sheol h7585)
Nítorí pé isà òkú kò le è yìn ọ́, ipò òkú kò le è kọ orin ìyìn rẹ; àwọn tí ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ sínú ọ̀gbun kò lè ní ìrètí fún òtítọ́ rẹ. (Sheol h7585)
19 The living, the living, he doth confess Thee.

20 Like myself to-day — a father to sons Doth make known of Thy faithfulness, O Jehovah — to save me: And my songs we sing all days of our lives In the house of Jehovah.'
Olúwa yóò gbà mí là bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwa yóò sì kọrin pẹ̀lú ohun èlò olókùn ní gbogbo ọjọ́ ayé wa nínú tẹmpili ti Olúwa.
21 And Isaiah saith, 'Let them take a bunch of figs, and plaster over the ulcer, and he liveth.'
Isaiah ti sọ pé, “Pèsè ìṣù ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ (ohun gbígbóná tí a dì mọ́ ojú egbò) kí o sì fi sí ojú oówo náà, òun yóò sì gbádùn.”
22 And Hezekiah saith, 'What [is] the sign that I go up to the house of Jehovah!'
Hesekiah sì béèrè pé, “Kí ni yóò jẹ́ àmì pé èmi yóò gòkè lọ sí tẹmpili Olúwa?”
