Aizaia 38
1 Hagi ana knafina Hesekaia'a kri eriteno fri'za hu'ne. Ana higeno kasnampa ne' Amosi nemofo Aisaia'a agrite eazamo, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie huno eme asami'ne, Krikamo'a vaga oresnigenka frigahananki, nagaka'a kehu atru hunka mika eri'zanka'a erinte fatgo huo.
About that time, Hezekiah became [very] ill and was close to dying. [So] I went to see him. And I gave him this message: “This is what Yahweh says: ‘You should tell the people in your palace what you want them to do after you die, because you will not recover from this illness. You are going to die’”
2 Higeno Hezekaia'ma anankema nentahino'a, avugosa rukrahe huno nozafarega hunenteno, Ra Anumzamofontega amanage hu'ne,
Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed this:
3 nunamuna hu'ne, Ra Anumzamoka kagri kavure'ma maka nagu'areti'ma hu'na keka'ama ruotagre'na amage'ma nente'nama, kagri kavure'ma knare navu'nava'ma hu'noa zankura kagesa antahi namio, nehuno Hezekaia'a krafage huno tusi zavi ate'ne.
“Yahweh, do not forget that I have always served you very faithfully, and I have done things that pleased you!” Then Hezekiah [started to] cry loudly.
4 Anama higeno'a, Ra Anumzamo'a ete Aisaiana amanage huno kea asami'ne,
[I left his room, but] Yahweh gave me this message:
5 Kagra ete vunka, Ra Anumzana negageho Deviti Anumzamo'a amanage hie hunka Hezekaiana ome asamio, Nagra nunamunka'a ko nentahi'na zavi'ma atana kavunura ko koanki'na, 15ni'a kafuka'a erinte zaza ha'nena manitenka henka frigahane.
“Go [back] to Hezekiah and tell him that this is what I, the God to whom your ancestor King David belonged, say: ‘I have heard what you prayed, and I have seen you crying. So listen: I will enable you to live 15 years more.
6 Ana nehu'na Asiria kini ne'mofo azampintira hara hu'na kagura nevazi'na, Jerusalemi rankuma'enena kegava hugahue.
And, I will rescue you and this city from the power [MTY] of the King of Assyria. I will defend this city.
7 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma avame'zama eri fore'ma hanigenkama negesunka, Ra Anumzamo'ma huvempama hu'nea zana tro hugahie hunka kagesa antahio.
And this is what I will do to prove that I will do what I have just now promised. I will cause the shadow of the sun to move ten steps backward on the sundial that was built by King Ahaz.’”
8 Hagi Ahasi'ma latama ahentenege'za zagemofo kna'ama negaza latamofo amema'amo'ma ko'ma evu'neana ete 10ni'a zupa kamefiti renakerenka ete vuo huankino, ana huno ete vugahie, higeno kema hiankante anteno anazana efore hu'ne.
So the shadow of the sun on the sundial moved backward ten steps.
9 Higeno Hezekaiama kri'amo'ma atrentegeno'a amanage huno avona kre'ne,
When King Hezekiah was almost well again, he wrote this:
10 Nagrama antahuana zahufa kasefa vahe mani'nena fri'na vu'na kasefa'ma hu'na maniga knani'a, fri vahe kumapi umanigahue hu'na nagesa antahi'noe. (Sheol h7585)
I thought to myself, “Is it necessary for me to die and go to the place where the dead people are during this time of my life when I am still strong? Is Yahweh going to rob me of the remaining years that I [should live]?” (Sheol h7585)
11 Nagrama antahuana kasefa'ma huzama mani'naza vahe'mofo mopafina Ra Anumzana Anumzanimofona onkegahue nehu'na, ama mopafima kasefa'ma hu'za mani'naza vahera zamavufina onkegahue hu'na nagesa antahi'noe.
I said, “I will not see Yahweh [again] in this world where people are alive. I will not see my friends again, or be with others who [now] are alive in this world.
12 Hagi nagri nomanizamo'a sipisipi afute kva vahe'mo osi seli no ki'nea eri anafe huno viaza nehuno, kukena hati nofi'nu anaki antrako hiaza hige'na ko fri'noanagi ana nofipintira ahekano hutreno nazeri fru hu'ne. Anumzamoka zagene haninena knani'a eri atupa hanke'na nasimura atre'za hue.
[It is as if] my life has been taken away like [SIM] a tent [whose pegs] have been pulled up by a shepherd and taken away. My time to live has been cut short, like a piece of cloth that a weaver [cuts and] rolls up [after he has finished weaving a cloth].” Suddenly, [it seemed that] my life was ending.
13 Nagra akohe'na mani'nogeno nantera se'ne. Hianagi laionimo zaferina eri rarupeaza huno maka zaferinani'a nazeri rarupe'ne. Hagi feru'ene kenage'enena kagra nazeri haviza nehane.
I waited patiently all during the night, but [my pain was as though] [MET] I was being torn apart by lions. [It seemed that] my life was finished.
14 Hagi kisave namamo'ene afi patomoke ha'aza hu'na krafa nehu'na, maho namamo'ma zavi'ma neteaza hu'na zavira ate'noe. Monafinkama kenagamutoa zamo higeno navumo'a nata negrigeno navunu hu'ne. Ra Anumzamoka hazenke zampi manuanki eme naza huo hu'na hu'noe!
[I was delirious, and] I chirped like a swift or a swallow, and moaned like a dove. My eyes became tired looking up [toward heaven] for help. I cried out, Lord, help me, [because] I am distressed!’
15 Hianagi nagra na'ane hu'na kea hugahue? Ra Anumzamo'ma agrama nasami'nea kemofo amage anteno ana zana eri fore hu'ne. E'ina hu'negu nagrama kasefa'ma hu'nama mani'nama vanua kafu'afina, knazama namitenka nazeri knare'ma hu'nana zankura antahi kamigahue.
But there was really nothing [RHQ] that I could say and ask him to reply to me, because it was Yahweh who sent this illness. [So now] I will live humbly during my [remaining] years because I am very anguished.
16 Ra Anumzamoka amanahu' zama vahete'ma eri fore'ma nehanana, vahe'mofo avu'ava azeri rukrahe hankeno kasefa asimu e'nerie. Nagrite'ma amanahu' zama efore'ma hia zamo'a avamunimofona nazeri kasefa hu'ne. Ra Anumzamoka krini'a eri atrenka, nazeri so'e hanke'na ofri'na kasefa hu'na manue.
Yahweh, the sufferings (OR, the promises) that you give are good, [because] what you do and what you say bring [new] life and health to us. And you restore/heal me and allow me [to continue] to live!
17 Tamage hunka nagri knare zanku hunka natrankena ana knazampina vu'noe. Ra Anumzamoka kagra kavesi nante'nanankinka natranke'na havizana hu'na kerifina uorami'noe. Ana nehunka maka kuminia eri atre'nane.
Truly, my suffering was good for me; you loved me, and as a result you have rescued me from dying and have also forgiven all my sins.
18 Na'ankure fri vahe kumapima nemanisaza vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamoka hu muse hunogantesageno, fri vahe'mo'zanena kagia ahentesga osugahaze. Hagi fri vahe kumapima nemani'naza vahe'mo'za knare eri'zama enerina zankura amuhara huogamigahaze. (Sheol h7585)
Dead people [MTY] cannot praise you; they cannot sing to praise you. Those who have descended to their graves cannot confidently expect you to faithfully [do things for them]. (Sheol h7585)
19 Nagrama menima musema hunegantoaza hu'za kasefa'ma hu'za mani'naza vahe'mo'zage humusea hugantegahaze. Hagi mago ne'mofonte'ma knare avu'ava zama hunte vava hu'nenana zamofo agenkea, mofavre'amofona asamitere huno vugahie.
Only people who are still alive, like I am, can praise you. Fathers tell their children how you are faithful, [and if I remain alive, I will do the same thing].
20 Ra Anumzamo'a tamage huno nagu vazigahie. Ana hugahiankita kasefa'ma huta manisuna kna'afina maka zupa Ra Anumzamofo mono nompi vuta zavena neheta, zagame huta agia ahentesga hugahune.
[I know that] Yahweh will fully heal me, [so] I will sing to praise him while others praise him playing musical instruments; I will do that every day of my life, in the temple of Yahweh.”
21 Hanki anante Aisaia'a amanage huno Hezekaia eri'za vahera zamasami'ne, fiki zafa raga ante hagege huta regripeteta erita Hezekaia usagentera ome antenkeno teganino.
I had [previously] said to Hezekiah’s servants, “Prepare an ointment from [mashed] figs, and spread it on his boil, and then he will recover.” [So they did that, and Hezekiah recovered].
22 Higeno Hezekaia amanage huno Aisaiana antahige'ne. Inankna avame'zamo nagritera efore hanige'na nege'na, Ra Anumzamofo mono nontega ete mareri'na monora ome huntegahue?
And Hezekiah had [previously] asked, “What will Yahweh do to prove that I will [recover and be able to] go to his temple?”
