Ezayi 38
1 Na tango wana, Ezekiasi abelaki bokono moko ya makasi, pene akufa. Mosakoli Ezayi, mwana mobali ya Amotsi, akendeki epai na ye mpe alobaki: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Bongisa makambo ya ndako na yo, pamba te okokufa, okobika te. »
About that time was Hezekiah sicke vnto the death, and the Prophet Isaiah sonne of Amoz came vnto him, and sayd vnto him, Thus sayth the Lord, Put thine house in an order, for thou shalt dye, and not liue.
2 Ezekiasi abalolaki elongi na ye na mir mpe abondelaki Yawe:
Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord,
3 « Oh Yawe, kanisa ndenge nini natambolaki liboso na Yo na boyengebene, ndenge nini namipesaki epai na Yo na motema na ngai mobimba mpe ndenge nini nasalaki makambo ya malamu na miso na Yo. » Mpe Ezekiasi alelaki mingi.
And saide, I beseeche thee, Lord, remember nowe howe I haue walked before thee in trueth, and with a perfite heart, and haue done that which is good in thy sight: and Hezekiah wept sore.
4 Bongo, Yawe alobaki na Ezayi:
Then came the worde of the Lord to Isaiah, saying,
5 « Kende koloba na Ezekiasi: ‹ Yawe, Nzambe ya tata na yo, Davidi, alobi: ‘Nayoki libondeli na yo mpe namoni mpinzoli na yo. Nakobakisa mibu zomi na mitano na mikolo ya bomoi na yo.
Goe, and say vnto Hezekiah, Thus saith the Lord God of Dauid thy father, I haue heard thy prayer, and seene thy teares: behold, I will adde vnto thy dayes fifteene yeeres.
6 Nakokangola yo elongo na engumba oyo, na maboko ya mokonzi ya Asiri, mpe nakobatela yango.’
And I will deliuer thee out of the hand of the King of Asshur, and this citie: for I will defende this citie.
7 Bongo, tala elembo ya Yawe, elembo oyo ekolakisa mpo na yo ete Yawe akokokisa makambo oyo asili kolaka:
And this signe shalt thou haue of ye Lord, that ye Lord will do this thing that he hath spoken,
8 Nakozongisa sima, na badegre zomi, elili ya moyi oyo ekitaki na tango ya Akazi. › » Boye, moyi ezongaki sima, mpe ekitaki na badegre zomi.
Beholde, I will bring againe the shadowe of the degrees (whereby it is gone downe in the diall of Ahaz by the sunne) ten degrees backeward: so the sunne returned by tenne degrees, by the which degrees it was gone downe.
9 Tala loyembo oyo Ezekiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, akomaki na mokanda tango abikaki na bokono.
The writing of Hezekiah King of Iudah, when he had bene sicke, and was recouered of his sickenesse.
10 Nazalaki komilobela: « Tango nazali nanu na makasi na nzoto, naleka solo na nzela ya ekuke ya kufa mpe nazangela mibu oyo etikali na bomoi na ngai? » (Sheol h7585)
I saide in the cutting off of my dayes, I shall goe to the gates of the graue: I am depriued of the residue of my yeeres. (Sheol h7585)
11 Namilobelaki: « Nakomona lisusu Yawe te, Yawe, na mokili ya bato ya bomoi; nakomona lisusu ata moto moko te to kowumela elongo na bato oyo bavandi na mokili ya lelo!
I said, I shall not see the Lord, euen the Lord in the land of the liuing: I shall see man no more among the inhabitants of the world.
12 Mikolo ya bomoi esili, elongwe na bomoi na ngai ndenge balongolaka ndako ya kapo ya mobateli bibwele. Akati bomoi ngai ndenge motongi bilamba akataka basinga soki asilisi kotonga elamba. Longwa na moyi kino na butu, akomisi bomoi na ngai na suka.
Mine habitation is departed, and is remoued from me, like a shepheards tent: I haue cut off like a weauer my life: he will cut me off from the height: from day to night, thou wilt make an ende of me.
13 Nakangaki motema kino na tongo; kasi lokola nkosi, abuki-buki mikuwa na ngai nyonso. Longwa na moyi kino na butu, akomisi bomoi na ngai na suka.
I rekoned to the morning: but he brake all my bones, like a lion: from day to night wilt thou make an ende of me.
14 Nazalaki koganga lokola mbilambila to ndeke ya mayi, nazalaki kolela lokola ebenga. Miso na ngai elembaki kotala likolo. Oh Yawe, natungisami, batela ngai! »
Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourne as a doue: mine eies were lift vp on high: O Lord, it hath oppressed me, comfort me.
15 Kasi naloba nini mpo ete ayanola ngai, pamba te Ye moko nde asali yango! Mibu nyonso ya bomoi na ngai, nakotambola na komikitisa likolo ya pasi ya motema na ngai.
What shall I say? for he hath said it to me, and he hath done it: I shall walke weakely all my yeeres in the bitternesse of my soule.
16 Nkolo, bato babikaka mpo na bolamu na Yo; ezali mpe na nzela na yango nde ngai nazwi bomoi. Ozongiselaki ngai nzoto kolongono mpe opesi ngai bomoi.
O Lord, to them that ouerliue them, and to all that are in them, the life of my spirite shalbe knowen, that thou causedst me to sleepe and hast giuen life to me.
17 Solo, pasi na ngai ebongwani esengo; na bolingo na Yo, obateli ngai longwa na libulu na kufa; obwaki masumu na ngai nyonso sima na mokongo na yo.
Beholde, for felicitie I had bitter griefe, but it was thy pleasure to deliuer my soule from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sinnes behinde thy backe.
18 Pamba te mboka ya bakufi ekoki te kokumisa Yo, kufa ekoki kosanzola Yo te; bato oyo bakitaka na mboka ya bakufi bazalaka na elikya na boyengebene na Yo te. (Sheol h7585)
For the graue cannot confesse thee: death cannot praise thee: they that goe downe into the pit, cannot hope for thy trueth. (Sheol h7585)
19 Bato na bomoi, bato ya bomoi kaka nde basanzolaka Yo ndenge ngai nazali kosanzola Yo lelo. Batata bakoteya bana na bango boyengebene na Yo.
But the liuing, the liuing, he shall confesse thee, as I doe this day: the father to the children shall declare thy trueth.
20 Yawe, lokola obikisi ngai, tokobeta mindule na biso mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na biso na Tempelo ya Yawe.
The Lord was ready to saue me: therefore we will sing my song, all the dayes of our life in the House of the Lord.
21 Ezayi alobaki: — Bozwa liboke ya figi, botia yango na pota; mpe mokonzi akobika.
Then said Isaiah, Take a lumpe of drye figs and lay it vpon the boyle, and he shall recouer.
22 Ezekiasi alobaki: — Elembo nini ekolakisa ngai ete nakokende na Tempelo ya Yawe?
Also Hezekiah had said, What is ye signe, that I shall goe vp into the House of the Lord?
