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.'”
About this time Hezekiah fell very sick and was about to die. The prophet Isaiah, son of Amoz, went to him and said, “This is what the Lord says: Put your affairs in order, because you are going to die. You won't recover.”
2 Kalpasanna simmango ni Hezekias iti pader ket nagkararag kenni Yahweh.
When Hezekiah heard this, he went to pray privately to the Lord, saying
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.
“Please remember Lord how I have followed you faithfully with all my heart. I have done what is good in your sight.” Then Hezekiah cried and cried.
4 Kalpasanna, dimteng ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Isaias a kunana,
Then the Lord sent a message 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 tell Hezekiah, This is what the Lord, the God of your forefather David, says: I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears. I will add fifteen years to your life.
6 Ket ispalenka ken daytoy a siudad manipud iti pannakabalin ti ari ti Asiria, ket salaknibak daytoy a siudad.
I will save you and this city from the king of Assyria. I will defend this city.
7 Daytoyto ti pagilasinam manipud kaniak a ni Yahweh, nga aramidekto no ania ti imbagak:
This is the sign from the Lord to you that the Lord will do what he promised:
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.
Look, I will make the shadow made by the sun go back the ten steps that it has gone down on the stairway of Ahaz. So the sun went back the ten steps that it had gone down on the stairway of Ahaz.”
9 Daytoy ti naisurat a kararag ni Hezekias nga ari ti Juda, idi nagsakit isuna ket naimbagan:
This is what Hezekiah, king of Judah, wrote after he recovered from his sickness:
10 “Imbagak nga iti kabanbannuagak innakon kadagiti ruangan ti sheol; maibaonak sadiay iti nabatbati a tawtawenko. (Sheol h7585)
I said to myself, “Do I have to go to my death just as my life is going well? Why can't I count on the rest 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 never again see the Lord, the Lord, in the land of the living. I won't see anyone else again, none of the inhabitants of this world.
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.
Like a shepherd's tent, the place where I live has been pulled up and taken away from me. Like a weaver I have rolled up the cloth of my life and cut it from the loom. Day and night you bring me to an end.
13 Nagdung-awak agingga iti agsapa; kasla iti maysa a leon, rangkarangkayenna dagiti tulangko; Iti nagbaetan ti aldaw ken rabii, gibgibusem ti biagko.
I lie there patiently until the morning, but I feel like there's a lion breaking every bone in my body. Day and night you bring me to an end.
14 Agit-itak a kasla maysa a salapingaw ken maysa a kalapati; nabannog dagiti matakon a tumangtangad. O Apo, maidaddadanesak; tulongannak.
I scream like a swift or a songbird, I moan like a dove. My eyes grow dim as I look heavenwards. I'm being attacked, Lord, please come and support me!
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.
Yet what can I say? He told me what was going to happen, and he himself did it. I will walk quietly for the rest of my life because of the painful experience I went through.
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.
Lord, we live by what you say and do, and I find life in all of this. You have given me back my health and allowed 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.
It was definitely for my own good I went through this bitter experience. You in your love saved me from the pit of destruction and you have forgiven all my sins.
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)
Those in the grave cannot praise you, the dead cannot praise you. Those who go down into the pit can no longer hope in your faithfulness. (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.
It's only the living who can praise you as I'm doing today. Parents explain to their children how you can be trusted.
20 Isalakannak ni Yahweh, ken rambakanminto babaen iti samiweng iti amin nga aldaw iti biagtayo idiay balay ni Yahweh.”
The Lord saved me! We will sing my songs with stringed instruments all the days of our lives in the Lord's Temple.”
21 Ita, kinuna ni Isaias, “Pagalaem ida iti sangkatipkel nga igos ken ikabilmo daytoy iti lettegna ket umimbagto isuna.”
Isaiah had said, “Prepare a dressing of figs and spread it on the skin sores so he may recover.”
22 Kinuna pay ni Hezekias, “Anianto ti pagilasinan a sumang-atakto manen iti balay ni Yahweh?”
Hezekiah had asked, “What is the sign to confirm that I will go to the Lord's Temple?”
