< Isaias 38 >

1 Kadagidi nga aldaw, nagsakit ni Hezekias ken ngannganin matay. Isu a napan kenkuana ni Isaias a putot a lalaki ni Amos a profeta ket kinunana kenkuana, “Kuna ni Yahweh, 'Iyurnosmon ti balaymo ta mataykan, saankan nga agbiag.'”
In those days Hezekiah became ill and was near death. And so, Isaiah, the son of Amoz, the prophet, entered to him, and he said to him: “Thus says the Lord: Put your house in order, for you shall die, and you shall not live.”
2 Kalpasanna simmango ni Hezekias iti pader ket nagkararag kenni Yahweh.
And Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and he prayed to the Lord.
3 Kinunana, “Pangngaasim O Yahweh ta lagipem no kasanoak a nagbiag a napudno iti sangoanam iti amin a pusok, ken no kasanok nga inaramid dagiti nasayaat iti imatangmo.” Ket nagsangit iti nasaem ni Hezekias.
And he said: “I beg you, Lord, I beseech you, to remember how I walked before you in truth and with a whole heart, and that I have done what is good in your sight.” And Hezekiah wept with a great weeping.
4 Kalpasanna, dimteng ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Isaias a kunana,
And the word of the Lord came to Isaiah, saying:
5 “Mapanmo ibaga kenni Hezekias a pangulo dagiti tattaok, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Dios ni David a kapuonam: Nangngegko ti kararagmo ken nakitak dagiti luluam. Kitaem, nayunak iti sangapulo ket lima a tawen ti biagmo.
“Go and say to Hezekiah: Thus says the Lord, the God of David, your father: I have heard your prayer, and I have seen your tears. Behold, I will add fifteen years to your days.
6 Ket ispalenka ken daytoy a siudad manipud iti pannakabalin ti ari ti Asiria, ket salaknibak daytoy a siudad.
And I will rescue you and this city from the hand of the king of the Assyrians, and I will protect it.
7 Daytoyto ti pagilasinam manipud kaniak a ni Yahweh, nga aramidekto no ania ti imbagak:
And this will be a sign for you from the Lord, that the Lord will do this word, which he has spoken:
8 Kitaem, pagsubliekto iti sangapulo nga addang ti aniniwan iti agdan ni Ahaz.” Isu a nagsubli iti sangapulo nga addang iti agdan nga isu ti bimmabaanna.
Behold, I will cause the shadow of the lines, which has now descended on the sundial of Ahaz, to move in reverse for ten lines.” And so, the sun moved backward by ten lines, through the degrees by which it had descended.
9 Daytoy ti naisurat a kararag ni Hezekias nga ari ti Juda, idi nagsakit isuna ket naimbagan:
The writing of Hezekiah, the king of Judah, after he had fallen ill and had recovered from his sickness:
10 “Imbagak nga iti kabanbannuagak innakon kadagiti ruangan ti sheol; maibaonak sadiay iti nabatbati a tawtawenko. (Sheol h7585)
“I said: In the middle of my days, I will go to the gates of Hell. So I sought the remainder of my years. (Sheol h7585)
11 Imbagak a saankon a makita ni Yahweh, ni Yahweh iti daga dagiti sibibiag; saankon a mamatmatan dagiti tattao wenno dagiti agnanaed iti lubong.
I said: I will not see the Lord God in the land of the living. I will no longer behold man, nor the habitation of rest.
12 Naikkaten ti biagko ket naipanawen kaniak a kasla iti tolda ti maysa nga agpaspastor; Nalukotkon ti biagko a kasla iti maysa nga umaabel; putputedem ti biagko manipud iti pagab-abellan; gibgibusem ti biagko iti nagbaetan ti aldaw ken rabii.
My longevity has been taken away; it has been folded up and taken from me, like the tent of a shepherd. My life has been cut off, as if by a weaver. While I was still beginning, he cut me off. From morning until evening, you have marked out my limits.
13 Nagdung-awak agingga iti agsapa; kasla iti maysa a leon, rangkarangkayenna dagiti tulangko; Iti nagbaetan ti aldaw ken rabii, gibgibusem ti biagko.
I hoped, even until morning. Like a lion, so has he crushed all my bones. From morning until evening, you have marked my limits.
14 Agit-itak a kasla maysa a salapingaw ken maysa a kalapati; nabannog dagiti matakon a tumangtangad. O Apo, maidaddadanesak; tulongannak.
I will cry out, like a young swallow. I will meditate, like a dove. My eyes have been weakened by gazing upward. O Lord, I suffer violence! Answer in my favor.
15 Ania ti mabalinko nga ibaga? Nagsaon isuna kaniak, ket inaramidnan daytoy; magnaakto a nainayad iti amin a tawenko gapu ta kasta unay ti panagladingitko.
What can I say, or what would he answer me, since he himself has done this? I will acknowledge to you all my years, in the bitterness of my soul.
16 O Apo, ti panagsagaba nga intedmo ket naimbag para kaniak; sapay koma ta maisubli kaniak ti biagko; insublim ti biagko ken ti salun-atko.
O Lord, if such is life, and if the life of my spirit is of such a kind, may you correct me and may you cause me to live.
17 Agpaay iti pagimbagak a napadasak ti kasta a panagladingit. Inispalnak manipud iti abut ti pannakadadael; ta imbellengmo dagiti amin a basbasolko iti likodam.
Behold, in peace my bitterness is most bitter. But you have rescued my soul, so that it would not perish. You have cast all my sins behind your back.
18 Ta saan a makapagyaman kenka ti sheol; saannaka a maidaydayaw ti patay; dagiti agpababa iti abut ket saan a mangnamnama iti kinamatalekmo. (Sheol h7585)
For Hell will not confess to you, and death will not praise you. Those who descend into the pit will not hope for your truth. (Sheol h7585)
19 Ti sibibiag a tao, ti sibibiag a tao, isuna ti makapagyaman kenka, a kas iti ar-aramidek iti daytoy nga aldaw; ipakaammo ti maysa nga ama kadagiti annakna ti kinamatalekmo.
The living, the living, these will give praise to you, as I also do this day! The father will make the truth known to the sons.
20 Isalakannak ni Yahweh, ken rambakanminto babaen iti samiweng iti amin nga aldaw iti biagtayo idiay balay ni Yahweh.”
O Lord, save me! And we will sing our psalms, all the days of our life, in the house of the Lord.”
21 Ita, kinuna ni Isaias, “Pagalaem ida iti sangkatipkel nga igos ken ikabilmo daytoy iti lettegna ket umimbagto isuna.”
Now Isaiah had ordered them to take a paste of figs, and to spread it like plaster over the wound, so that he would be healed.
22 Kinuna pay ni Hezekias, “Anianto ti pagilasinan a sumang-atakto manen iti balay ni Yahweh?”
And Hezekiah said, “What will be the sign that I may go up to the house of the Lord?”
