Ezayi 38
1 Vè menm epòk sa a, Ezekyas tonbe malad, li te prèt pou l' mouri. Pwofèt Ezayi, pitit Amòz la, vin wè li, li di l' konsa: -Men sa Seyè a voye di ou: Ou mèt mete lòd nan zafè ou paske ou pral mouri. Pa gen rechap pou ou.
And it came to pass at that time, [that] Ezekias was sick even to death. And Esaias the prophet the son of Amos came to him, and said to him, Thus says the Lord, Give orders concerning your house: for you shall die, and not live.
2 Ezekyas vire figi li bay panno a fas, li lapriyè Seyè a.
And Ezekias turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying,
3 Li di: -Tanpri, Seyè! Chonje jan mwen te sèvi ou ak tout kè mwen san m' pa janm vire do ba ou! Mwen te toujou fè sa ou te vle m' fè. Epi li pran kriye kont kriye l'.
Remember, O Lord, how I have walked before you in truth, with a true heart, and have done that which was pleasing in your sight. And Ezekias wept bitterly.
4 Lè sa a, Seyè a pale ak Ezayi, li di l' konsa:
And the word of the Lord came to Esaias, saying, Go, and say to Ezekias,
5 -Tounen al jwenn Ezekyas. W'a di l' pou mwen, men sa Seyè a, Bondye David, zansèt ou a, voye di ou: Mwen tande lapriyè ou. Mwen wè jan sa fè ou mal. M'ap kite ou viv kenzan ankò.
Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father, I have heard your prayer, and seen your tears: behold, I [will] add to your time fifteen years.
6 M'ap delivre ou ansanm ak lavil Jerizalèm anba men wa Lasiri a. M'a pran defans lavil la.
And I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians: and I will defend this city.
7 Ezayi reponn li: -Men siy Seyè a pral fè ou wè pou ou ka konnen l'ap kenbe pawòl li.
And this [shall be] a sign to you from the Lord, that God will do this thing;
8 Gade kadran solèy wa Akaz te fè a. Seyè a pral fè lonbraj la fè bak sou dis ti mak. Epi vre, lonbraj la mache fè bak sou dènye dis ti mak li te fin depase.
behold, I will turn back the shadow of the degrees [of the dial] by which ten degrees on the house of your father the sun has gone down—I will turn back the sun the ten degrees; so the sun went back the ten degrees by which the shadow had gone down.
9 Men kantik Ezekyas, wa a, te chante lè li refè apre maladi li a:
THE PRAYER OF EZEKIAS KING OF JUDEA, WHEN HE HAD BEEN SICK, AND WAS RECOVERED FROM HIS SICKNESS.
10 Mwen t'ap di nan kè m' se mwatye nan lavi m' ase mwen viv. Gade mwen gen tan pral mouri. Mwen rive nan pòt pou m' antre kote mò yo ye a. M'ap mouri anvan lè m'. (Sheol h7585)
I said in the end of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I shall part with the remainder of my years. (Sheol h7585)
11 Mwen te kwè mwen pa t'ap janm gen chans ankò pou m' te wè Seyè a sou latè kote moun vivan yo ye a, ni pou m' te wè pesonn ankò nan moun k'ap viv sou latè.
I said, I shall no more at all see the salvation of God in the land of the living: I shall no more at all see the salvation of Israel on the earth: I shall no more at all see man.
12 Tankou yon ti kay jaden, yo rache m', yo demoli m' pote m' ale. Yo koupe lavi m' tankou yo koupe fil nan metye moun k'ap tise twal yo. Soti nan maten rive aswè, m'ap deperi.
[My life] has failed from among my kindred: I have parted with the remainder of my life: it has gone forth and departed from me, as one that having pitched a tent takes it down [again]: my breath was with me as a weaver's web, when she that weaves draws near to cut off [the] thread.
13 Tout lannwit m'ap rele anba doulè. Tankou yon lyon, Bondye t'ap kraze tout zo nan kò m'. Soti nan maten rive nan aswè, m'ap deperi.
In that day I was given up as to a lion until the morning: so has he broken all my bones: for I was so given up from day [even] to night.
14 M'ap plenn tou piti tankou ranmye. M'ap plenyen tankou yon toutrèl. Je m' bouke tank m'ap gade syèl la. Seyè, mwen pa kapab ankò! Vin fè kichòy pou mwen non!
As a swallow, so will I cry, and as a dove, so do I mourn: for mine eyes have failed with looking to the height of heaven to the Lord, who has delivered me, and removed the sorrow of my soul.
15 Kijan pou m' pale avè l'? Sa pou m' di l'? Se Seyè a k'ap fè travay li. Malgre tout lapenn sa a ki nan kè m' lan, m'a debat ak lavi a jouk mwen mouri.
16 Seyè! nan bon kè ou, ou fè m' jwi lavi. Souf lavi a nan mwen toujou. W'ap geri m', w'ap ban m' lavi.
[Yes], O Lord, for it was told you concerning this; and you have revived my breath; and I am comforted, and live.
17 Ou wete m' nan kè sere m' te ye a. Se ou menm ki wete m' nan bouch twou a. Ou voye tout peche m' yo jete dèyè do ou.
For you have chosen my soul, that it should not perish: and you have cast all [my] sins behind me.
18 Yo pa fè lwanj ou kote mò yo ye a. Non. Moun mouri pa ka fè fèt pou ou! Moun ki deja desann kote mò yo ye a pa ka konte sou ou pou ou kenbe pawòl ou. (Sheol h7585)
For they that are in the grave shall not praise you, neither shall the dead bless you, neither shall they that are in Hades hope for your mercy. (Sheol h7585)
19 Se moun ki vivan ase ki ka fè lwanj ou tankou mwen menm jòdi a. Granmoun va fè pitit yo konnen jan ou toujou kenbe pawòl!
The living shall bless you, as I also [do]: for from this day shall I beget children, who shall declare your righteousness,
20 Seyè a delivre m'! N'a fè mizik sou tout enstriman mizik nou yo n'a chante nan kay Seyè a pandan tout lavi nou.
O God of my salvation; and I will not cease blessing you with the lute all the days of my life before the house of God.
21 Ezayi mande pou yo fè yon kataplas ak fig frans mete sou kote wa a malad la, pou li ka geri.
Now Esaias had said to Ezekias; Take a cake of figs, and mash them, and apply them as a plaster, and you shall be well.
22 Lè sa a, wa Ezekyas mande: -Kisa k'ap fè m' konnen m'a ka al nan tanp lan ankò?
And Ezekias said, This is a sign to Ezekias, that I shall go up to the house of God.
