Ishaya 38

1 A kwanakin nan sai Hezekiya ya kamu da ciwo ya kuma kusa ya mutu. Annabi Ishaya ɗan Amoz ya tafi wurinsa ya kuma ce, “Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce ka shirya gidanka, domin za ka mutu; ba za ka warke ba.”

In those days Hezekiah became mortally ill. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz came to him and said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Put your house in order, for you are about to die; you will not recover.’”

2 Hezekiya ya juye fuskarsa wajen bango ya kuma yi addu’a ga Ubangiji,

Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD,

3 “Ka tuna, ya Ubangiji, yadda na yi tafiya a gabanka da aminci da dukan zuciya na kuma yi abin da yake nagari a idanunka.” Sai Hezekiya ya yi kuka mai zafi.

saying, “Please, O LORD, remember how I have walked before You faithfully and with wholehearted devotion; I have done what was good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

4 Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa Ishaya cewa,

And the word of the LORD came to Isaiah, saying,

5 “Ka tafi ka faɗa wa Hezekiya, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji Allah na kakanka Dawuda, ya ce na ji addu’arka na kuma ga hawayenka; zan ƙara maka shekaru goma sha biyar ga rayuwarka.

“Go and tell Hezekiah that this is what the LORD, the God of your father David, says: ‘I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Behold, I will add fifteen years to your life.

6 Zan kuwa cece ka da wannan birni daga hannun sarkin Assuriya. Zan kiyaye wannan birni.

And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city.

7 “‘Ga alamar Ubangiji gare ka cewa Ubangiji zai aikata kamar yadda ya yi alkawari.

This will be a sign to you from the LORD that He will do what He has promised:

8 Zan sa inuwar da rana ta yi a kan matakalar Ahaz ta koma baya da taki goma.’” Saboda haka inuwar ta koma da baya daga fuskar rana har taki goma.

I will make the sun’s shadow that falls on the stairway of Ahaz go back ten steps.’” So the sunlight went back the ten steps it had descended.

9 Rubutun Hezekiya sarkin Yahuda bayan ciwonsa da kuma warkarwarsa.

This is a writing by Hezekiah king of Judah after his illness and recovery:

10 Na ce, “Cikin tsakiyar rayuwata dole in bi ta ƙofofin mutuwa a kuma raba ni da sauran shekaruna?” (Sheol h7585)

I said, “In the prime of my life I must go through the gates of Sheol and be deprived of the remainder of my years.” (Sheol h7585)

11 Na ce, “Ba zan ƙara ganin Ubangiji ba, Ubangiji a ƙasa ta masu rai; ba zan ƙara ga wani mutum, ko in kasance tare da waɗanda suke zama a wannan duniya ba.

I said, “I will never again see the LORD, even the LORD, in the land of the living; I will no longer look on mankind with those who dwell in this world.

12 Kamar tentin makiyayi an rushe gidana aka kuma ƙwace ta daga gare ni. Kamar mai saƙa, na nannaɗe rayuwata, ya kuma yanke ni daga sandar saƙa; dare da rana ka kawo ni ga ƙarshe.

My dwelling has been picked up and removed from me like a shepherd’s tent. I have rolled up my life like a weaver; He cuts me off from the loom; from day until night You make an end of me.

13 Na yi jira da haƙuri har safiya, amma kamar zaki ya kakkarya ƙasusuwana duka; dare da rana ka kawo ni ga ƙarshe.

I composed myself until the morning. Like a lion He breaks all my bones; from day until night You make an end of me.

14 Na yi kuka kamar mashirare ko zalɓe, na yi kuka kamar kurciya mai makoki. Idanuna suka rasa ƙarfi yayinda na duba sammai. Na damu; Ya Ubangiji, ka taimake ni!”

I chirp like a swallow or crane; I moan like a dove. My eyes grow weak as I look upward. O Lord, I am oppressed; be my security.”

15 Amma me zan ce? Ya riga ya yi mini magana, shi kansa ne kuma ya aikata. Zan yi tafiya da tawali’u dukan kwanakina saboda wahalar raina.

What can I say? He has spoken to me, and He Himself has done this. I will walk slowly all my years because of the anguish of my soul.

16 Ubangiji, ta waɗannan abubuwa ne mutane suke rayuwa; ruhuna kuma yana samun rai a cikinsu shi ma. Ka maido mini da lafiya ka kuma sa na rayu.

O Lord, by such things men live, and in all of them my spirit finds life. You have restored me to health and have let me live.

17 Tabbatacce wannan kuwa saboda ribata ne cewa in sha irin wahalan nan. Cikin ƙaunarka ka kiyaye ni daga ramin hallaka; ka sa dukan zunubaina a bayanka.

Surely for my own welfare I had such great anguish; but Your love has delivered me from the pit of oblivion, for You have cast all my sins behind Your back.

18 Gama kabari ba zai yabe ka ba, matattu ba za su rera yabonka ba; waɗanda suka gangara zuwa rami ba za su sa zuciya ga amincinka ba. (Sheol h7585)

For Sheol cannot thank You; Death cannot praise You. Those who descend to the Pit cannot hope for Your faithfulness. (Sheol h7585)

19 Masu rai, masu rai, su suke yabonka, kamar yadda nake yi a yau; iyaye za su faɗa wa’ya’yansu game da amincinka.

The living, only the living, can thank You, as I do today; fathers will tell their children about Your faithfulness.

20 Ubangiji zai cece ni, za mu kuma rera da kayan kiɗi masu tsirkiya dukan kwanakinmu a cikin haikalin Ubangiji.

The LORD will save me; we will play songs on stringed instruments all the days of our lives in the house of the LORD.

21 Ishaya ya riga ya ce, “Ku shirya curin da aka yi da’ya’yan ɓaure ku kuma shafa a marurun, zai kuwa warke.”

Now Isaiah had said, “Prepare a lump of pressed figs and apply it to the boil, and he will recover.”

22 Hezekiya ya riga ya yi tambaya ya ce, “Me zai zama alama ta cewa zan haura zuwa haikalin Ubangiji?”

And Hezekiah had asked, “What will be the sign that I will go up to the house of the LORD?”
