Isaiah 38

1 Ke pacl se inge Tokosra Hezekiah el masak ac apkuran in misa. Mwet palu Isaiah, wen natul Amoz, el som nu yorol ac fahk nu sel, “LEUM GOD El fahk mu kom in akoela ma nukewa in wo, mweyen kom ac tia kwela. Kom ac misa.”

In those days was Hezekiah sick and near death. Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him, and said to him, "Thus says the LORD, 'Set your house in order, for you will die, and not live.'"

2 Hezekiah el forang nu pe sinka uh ac pre:

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

3 “LEUM GOD, esam lah nga kulansupwekom ke inse pwaye ac suwohs, ac pacl nukewa nga srike na nga in oru ma lungse lom.” Na el mutawauk in tung arulana upa.

and said, "Remember now, the LORD, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight." Hezekiah wept bitterly.

4 Na LEUM GOD El sap Isaiah elan

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

5 folokla nu yorol Hezekiah ac fahk nu sel, “Nga, LEUM GOD lal David, papa matu tomom, lohng pre lom ac liye sroninmotom. Nga ac fah lela nu sum in sifilpa moul ke yac singoul limekosr.

"Go, and tell Hezekiah, 'Thus says the LORD, the God of David your father, "I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Look, I will add fifteen years to your life.

6 Nga fah molikomla ac siti Jerusalem lukel Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria, ac nga fah karinganangna siti se inge.”

I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.

7 Isaiah el topuk ac fahk, “LEUM GOD El ac sot sie akul nu sum in akpwayei lah El ac liyaung wulela lal.

This shall be the sign to you from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he has spoken.

8 Ke nien fan se ma musaiyukla sel Tokosra Ahaz, LEUM GOD El ac oru lulin faht uh in foloki fahluk singoul.” Na lul sac foloki ke fahluk singoul.

Look, I will cause the shadow on the steps, which has gone down with the sun on the upper steps of Ahaz, to go backward ten steps. So the sun returned ten steps on the sundial on which it had gone down."'"

9 Tukun Hezekiah el kwela liki mas lal, el simusla on in kaksak soko inge:

The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and had recovered of his sickness.

10 Nga pangon mu nga ac som nu in facl sin mwet misa Ke pacl se nga sun kuiyen moul luk, Ac tiana aksafyela moul luk. (Sheol h7585)

I said, "In the middle of my life I go into the gates of Sheol. I am deprived of the residue of my years." (Sheol h7585)

11 Nga tuh nunku mu in facl sin mwet moul inge Nga fah tiana sifilpa liye LEUM GOD Ku kutena mwet moul.

I said, "I won't see the LORD in the land of the living. I will not look on humankind any longer with the inhabitants of the world.

12 Moul luk uh utukla likiyu, Oana sie lohm nuknuk ma tuleyuki, Oana sie nuknuk ma laslasla liki mwe tol nuknuk. Nga nunku mu God El aksafyela moul luk.

My dwelling is removed, and is carried away from me like a shepherd's tent. I have rolled up, like a weaver, my life. He will cut me off from the loom. From day even to night you will make an end of me.

13 Nga tung fong nufon se ke ngal, Oana lion soko in koteya sri keik. Nga nunku mu God El aksafyela moul luk.

I waited patiently until morning. He breaks all my bones like a lion. From day even to night you will make an end of me.

14 Pusrek munasla ac srikeni, Ac nga sasao oana sie wule. Atronmutuk totola ke nga nget nu inkusrao. LEUM GOD, moliyula liki mwe lokoalok inge nukewa.

I chip like a swallow or a thrush. I moan like a dove. My eyes weaken looking upward. LORD, I am oppressed. Be my security."

15 Mea nga ku in fahk? LEUM GOD pa oru ma inge. Insiuk keoklana, ac nga tia ku in motul.

What will I say? He has both spoken to me, and himself has done it. I will walk carefully all my years because of the anguish of my soul.

16 LEUM GOD, nga ac moul nu sum, nu sum mukena; Akeyeyula ac lela nu sik in moul.

The LORD is against them, but they live, and all of them who live have his spirit. Restore me to health and let me live.

17 Keok luk fah ekla nu ke inse misla. Kom molela moul luk liki mwe sensen nukewa; Kom sisla ma koluk luk nukewa.

Look, for peace I had great anguish, but you have in love for my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption; for you have cast all my sins behind your back.

18 Wangin sie mwet in facl sin mwet misa ku in kaksakin kom; Mwet misa tia ku in lulalfongi ke oaru lom. (Sheol h7585)

For Sheol can't praise you. And death can't celebrate you. And those who go down into the pit can't hope for your truth. (Sheol h7585)

19 Mwet moul pa kaksakin kom, Oana ke nga kaksakin kom inge. Papa uh fahk nu sin tulik natulos lupan oaru lom.

The living, the living, he shall praise you, as I do this day. The father shall make known your truth to the children.

20 LEUM GOD, kom akkeyeyula. Kut fah srital ke harp ac onkakin kom; Kut fah alullul ke on in kaksak in Tempul lom ke lusen moul lasr.

The LORD will save me. Therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD.

21 Na Isaiah el fahk nu sel tokosra elan apisya ono se orekla ke fokinsak fig nu ke faf kacl ah, na el ac fah kwela.

Now Isaiah had said, "Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it for a poultice on the boil, and he shall recover."

22 Na Tokosra Hezekiah el siyuk, “Akul fuka se ac akpwayei lah nga ac ku in sifilpa som nu in Tempul?”

Hezekiah also had said, "What is the sign that I will go up to the house of the LORD?"
