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, unto death, —and Isaiah the prophet son of Amoz came in unto him, and said unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh, Set in order thy house, for, about to die thou art and shalt not recover.

2 Hezekiah el forang nu pe sinka uh ac pre:

Then Hezekiah turned his face unto the wall, —and prayed unto Yahweh;

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, —I beseech thee, O Yahweh, remember, I pray thee, how I have walked before thee in faithfulness and with an undivided heart, and, that which is good in thine eyes, have I done. And Hezekiah wept aloud.

4 Na LEUM GOD El sap Isaiah elan

Then came the word of Yahweh unto, 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 say unto Hezekiah—Thus, saith Yahweh, the God of David thy father: I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears, —Behold me! about to add unto thy days, fifteen years;

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

And out of the hand of the king of Assyria, will I deliver thee, and this city; And I will throw a covering over 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.

And, this, to thee, shall be the sign from Yahweh, —that Yahweh will do this thing which he hath 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.

Behold me! causing the shadow on the steps, which hath come gone down on the steps of Ahaz with the sun, to return, backwards ten steps. So the sun returned ten steps, by the steps which it had come 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 then recovered from 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 noontide of my days, I must enter the gates of hades, —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 shall not see Yah, Yah, in the land of the living, I shall discern the son of earth no longer, with the dwellers in the quiet land.

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, hath been broken up. And is stripped from me, like a shepherd’s tent, —I have rolled up—as a weaver—my life From the loom, doth he cut me off, From day until night, [I said] —Thou wilt finish 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 cried out, until morning, like a lion, Thus, will he break all my bones! From day until night, Thou wilt finish 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.

As a twittering swallow, so, do I chatter, I coo as a dove, —Mine eyes languish through looking on high, O My Lord! distress is upon me—my Surety!

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

What can I say? Since he hath promised for me, Himself, will perform. I will go softly, all my years. Because of the bitterness of my soul,

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

O My Lord! on those things do men live, —And, altogether in them, is the life of my spirit, When thou hast strengthened me and made 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.

Lo! for well-being, I had bitterness—bitterness, —But, thou, cleaving unto my soul, hast raised me from the pit of corruption, For thou hast cast, behind thy back all my sins.

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, hades, cannot praise thee Nor, death, celebrate thee, —They who go down to the pit cannot wait for thy faithfulness. (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, can praise thee, As I do this day, —A father, to his children, can make known thy faithfulness.

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.

Yahweh, [was willing] to save me, —Therefore, on my stringed instruments, will we play—All the days of our life By the house of Yahweh.

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.

And Isaiah had said, Let them take a cake of figs, and let them press it over the boil, that he may recover.

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

And Hezekiah had said—What is the sign—that I shall go up unto the house of Yahweh?
