< Isaia 38 >

1 I A mau la, he mai make ko Hezekia; a hele mai la o Isaia, ke kaula, ke keiki a Amosa io na la, i mai la ia ia, Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, E kauoha oe i ko kou hale, no ka mea, e make ana oe, aole oe e ola.
In those days Hezekiah was sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah: Set thy house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.
2 Alaila, huli ae la o Hezekia i kona maka ma ka paia, a pule aku la ia Iehova,
And Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed to Jehovah,
3 I aku la ia, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e Iehova, ano la e hoomanao oe i ko'u hele ana imua ou ma ka oiaio, me ka naau pono, a ua hana i ka maikai ma kou alo. A uwe iho la o Hezekia, he uwe nui loa.
and said, Ah, Jehovah, remember, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept much.
4 Alaila, hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova io lsaia la, i mai la,
And the word of Jehovah came to Isaiah, saying,
5 O hele, e olelo aku ia Hezekia, Ke i mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o Davida, kou kupuna, penei, Ua lohe au i kau pule, a ua ike no wau i kou waimaka; aia hoi, e hooloihi aku au i kou mau la, i umikumamalima makahiki.
Go and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of David thy father: I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add to thy days fifteen years.
6 A e hoopakele no wau ia oe, a me keia kulanakauhale mai ka lima aku o ke alii o Asuria, a na'u no e malama i keia kulanakauhale.
And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.
7 Eia hoi ka hoailona nou, mai Iehova mai, e hana io mai no o Iehova i ka mea ana i olelo mai ai;
And this [shall be] the sign to thee from Jehovah, that Jehovah will do this thing that he hath spoken:
8 Aia hoi, e hoihoi ihope no au i ke aka o na degere ana i iho ai ma ka mea ana hora o Ahaza, he umi degere ka hoi hope ana. A hoi hope io no ka la i umi degere, o na degere hoi ana i iho ai ilalo.
behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees which hath gone down with the sun on the dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned on the dial ten degrees, by which it had gone down.
9 Ke mele a Hezekia ke alii o ka Iuda, mahope iho o kona mai ana, a ua ola hoi i kona mai.
The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick and had recovered from his sickness:
10 Olelo iho la au, E komo ana au i na puka o ka malumake, Mawaena konu o ko'u mau la; Ua hooneleia mai au i ke koena o ko'u mau makahiki. (Sheol h7585)
I said, In the meridian of my days I shall go to the gates of Sheol: I am deprived of the rest of my years. (Sheol h7585)
11 I iho la au, aole au e ike aku ia Iehova, Ia Iehova hoi, ma ka aina o ka poe e ola ana; Aole au e ike hou i ke kanaka mawaena o ka poe e noho la ma ka malumake.
I said, I shall not see Jah, Jah in the land of the living. With those who dwell where all has ceased to be, I shall behold man no more.
12 Ua laweia ko'u wahi noho, Ua kaikaiia'ku la, mai o'u aku nei, e like me ka halelewa o ke kahuhipa, Ua hooki au i ko'u ola ana, e like me ka mea ulana lole, Ua oki mai oia ia'u mai ka omau ana; Mai ke ao a po, e hooki mai ana oe ia'u.
Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd's tent. I have cut off like a weaver my life. He separateth me from the thrum: — from day to night thou wilt make an end of me.
13 Hoomaha ino la au a kakahiaka, E like me ka liona, pela no oia i uhaki ai i ko'u mau iwi a pau; Mai ke ao a po, e hooki mai ana no oe ia'u.
I kept still until the morning; ...as a lion, so doth he break all my bones. From day to night thou wilt make an end of me.
14 E like me ka manu u, a me ka manu ioio, Pela no wau i ioio ai. Kaniuhu no wau e like me ka manu nunu; Maule hoi ko'u mau maka i ka nana ana iluna; E ka Haku, ua pilikia au, e kokua mai oe ia'u.
Like a swallow [or] a crane, so did I chatter; I mourned as a dove; mine eyes failed [with looking] upward: Lord, I am oppressed; undertake for me.
15 Heaha ka'u e olelo aku ai? No ka mea, ua olelo mai oia ia'u, a ua hana io mai no oia: E hele malie no wau i ko'u mau makahiki a pau, No ke kaumaha loa o kuu uhane.
What shall I say? He hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done [it]. I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul.
16 E ka Haku, no keia mau mea i ola'i na kanaka, Maloko o ka popilikia a pau, ua ola no kuu uhane; Ua hoopau oe i ko'u mai, ua hoola mai oe ia'u
Lord, by these things [men] live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit; and thou hast recovered me, and made me to live.
17 Aia hoi, ua hoololi mai oia i ko'u kaumaha loa i oluolu, Aloha mai no oe, a hoopakele mai ia'u, mai ka lua mai o ka make; No ka mea, ua kiola aku oe i ko'u hewa a pau mahope o kou kua.
Behold, instead of peace I had bitterness upon bitterness; but thou hast in love delivered my soul from the pit of destruction; for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.
18 Aole hiki i ko ka po ke hoomaikai aku ia oe, Aole hoi e hoolea aku ka poe make ia oe; O ka poe iho ilalo i ka lua, Aole hiki ia lakou ke manaolana. (Sheol h7585)
For not Sheol shall praise thee, nor death celebrate thee; they that go down into the pit do not hope for thy truth. (Sheol h7585)
19 O ka mea ola, ka mea ola, Nana no e hoomaikai aku ia oe, me au nei i keia la; E hoike no ka makua i na keiki i kou oiaio.
The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.
20 Malaila no o Iehova, e hoola mai ai ia'u, Nolaila kakou e hookanikani ai i ko'u mau viola, I na la a pau o ko kakou ola ana, maloko o ka hale o Iehova.
Jehovah was [purposed] to save me. — And we will play upon my stringed instruments all the days of our life, in the house of Jehovah.
21 No ka mea, ua olelo no o Isaia, e lawe lakou i pai fiku maloo, a e kau maluna o ka eha, a e ola no ia.
Now Isaiah had said, Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it for a plaster upon the boil, and he shall recover.
22 Ua ninau no hoi o Hezekia, Heaha ka hoailona e maopopo ai ko'u pii ana i ka hale o Iehova?
And Hezekiah had said, What is the sign that I shall go up into the house of Jehovah?
