Isaaya 38
1 Mu nnaku ezo Keezeekiya n’alwala nnyo, katono afe. Nnabbi Isaaya mutabani wa Amozi n’ajja gy’ali n’amugamba nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, Teekateeka ennyumba yo, kubanga togenda kulama, ogenda kufa.”
Nthawi imeneyo Mfumu Hezekiya anadwala ndipo anali pafupi kufa. Mneneri Yesaya mwana wa Amozi anapita kukamuona ndipo anati “Yehova akuti: Konza bwino nyumba yako, pakuti ukufa; suchira.”
2 Awo Keezeekiya n’akyuka n’atunuulira ekisenge n’asaba ne yeegayirira Mukama
Hezekiya anatembenuka nayangʼana kukhoma, napemphera kwa Yehova kuti,
3 ng’agamba nti, “Jjukira kaakano, Ayi Mukama, nkwegayiridde, engeri gye natambuliranga mu maaso go n’amazima n’omutima ogutuukiridde, ne nkola ebisaanidde mu maaso go.” Era Keezeekiya n’akaaba nnyo amaziga.
“Inu Yehova, kumbukirani momwe ndayendera pamaso panu mokhulupirika ndi modzipereka ndipo ndakhala ndikuchita zabwino pamaso panu.” Ndipo Hezekiya analira mosweka mtima.
4 Awo Ekigambo kya Katonda ne kijja eri Isaaya,
Ndipo Yehova analamula Yesaya kuti:
5 nga Mukama agamba nti, “Genda ogambe Keezeekiya nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda wa Dawudi kitaawo nti, Mpulidde okusaba kwo, ndabye amaziga go: laba nzija kwongera ku nnaku zo emyaka kkumi n’ettaano.
“Pita kwa Hezekiya ndipo ukamuwuze kuti, ‘Yehova, Mulungu wa kholo lake Davide akuti: Ndamva pemphero lako ndipo misozi yako ndayiona; ndidzakuwonjezera zaka 15 pa moyo wako.
6 Era ndikuwonya ggwe n’ekibuga kino mu mukono gwa kabaka w’e Bwasuli: Era ndikuuma ekibuga kino.
Ndipo ndidzakupulumutsa, iwe pamodzi ndi mzindawu mʼdzanja la mfumu ya ku Asiriya, Ine ndidzawuteteza mzindawu.
7 “‘Era kano ke kabonero k’onoofuna okuva eri Mukama nti Mukama alikola ekigambo ky’ayogedde.
“‘Ichi ndi chizindikiro cha Yehova kwa iwe kutsimikiza kuti Yehova adzachita zimene walonjeza:
8 Laba nzija kuzza emabega ekisiikirize ebigere kkumi enjuba bw’eneeba egwa, ky’eneekola ku madaala kabaka Akazi ge yazimba.’” Bw’etyo enjuba n’edda emabega ebigere kkumi.
Chithunzithunzi chimene dzuwa likuchititsa pa makwerero a Ahazi ndidzachibweza mʼmbuyo makwerero khumi.’” Ndipo chithunzithunzi chinabwerera mʼmbuyo makwerero khumi.
9 Awo Keezeekiya Kabaka wa Yuda bwe yassuuka, n’awandiika ebigambo bino;
Ndakatulo ya Hezekiya mfumu ya ku Yuda imene analemba atadwala ndi kuchira:
10 nayogera nti, “Mu maanyi g’obulamu bwange mwe nnali ŋŋenda okufiira nnyingire mu miryango gy’emagombe, nga simazeeyo myaka gyange egisigaddeyo.” (Sheol h7585)
Ine ndinaganiza kuti ndidzapita ku dziko la akufa pamene moyo ukukoma. (Sheol h7585)
11 Ne ndyoka njogera nti, “Sigenda kuddayo kulaba Mukama, mu nsi y’abalamu. Sikyaddamu kulaba bantu mu nsi abantu mwe babeera.
Ndinaganiza kuti, “Sindidzaonanso Yehova, mʼdziko la anthu amoyo, sindidzaonanso mtundu wa anthu kapena kukhala pamodzi ndi amene amakhala pa dziko lapansi lino.
12 Obulamu bwange buzingiddwako ng’eweema y’omusumba w’endiga bw’enzigibwako. Ng’olugoye lwe babadde balanga ate ne balusala ku muti kwe babadde balulukira, bwe ntyo bwe nawuliranga emisana n’ekiro nga obulamu bwange obumalirawo ddala.
Nyumba yanga yasasuka ndipo yachotsedwa. Ngati tenti ya mʼbusa mwapindapinda moyo wanga, ngati munthu wowomba nsalu; kuyambira usana mpaka usiku mwakhala mukundisiya.
13 Ekiro kyonna nakaabanga olw’obulumi nga ndi ng’empologoma gw’emmenyaamenya amagumba, ekiro n’emisana nga ndowooza nga Mukama yali amalawo obulamu bwange.
Ndinkalira kupempha chithandizo usiku wonse mpaka mmawa; koma Inu Yehova munaphwanya mafupa anga ngati mkango, ndipo mwakhala mukundisiya.
14 Nakaabanga ng’akasanke oba akataayi, n’empuubaala ng’enjiibwa, amaaso gange ne ganfuyirira olw’okutunula mu bbanga eri eggulu. Ne nkaaba nti, Ayi Mukama, nga nnyigirizibwa, nziruukirira.”
Ndinkalira ngati namzeze kapena chumba, ndinkabuwula ngati nkhunda yodandaula. Maso anga anatopa nʼkuyangʼana mlengalenga. Inu Ambuye, ine ndili mʼmavuto bwerani mudzandithandize!”
15 Naye ate nga naagamba ki? Yali ayogedde nange nga ye yennyini ye yali akikoze. N’atambulanga n’obwegendereza mu bulumi buno obw’obulamu bwange.
Koma ine ndinganene chiyani? Yehova wayankhula nane, ndipo Iye ndiye wachita zimenezi. Chifukwa cha kuwawa kwa mtima wanga, ine ndidzayenda modzichepetsa masiku amoyo wanga onse.
16 Ayi Mukama, olw’ebyo, abantu babeera abalamu, era mu ebyo omwoyo gwange mwe gubeerera omulamu. Omponye, mbeere mulamu.
Ambuye, masiku anga ali mʼmanja mwanu. Mzimu wanga upeza moyo mwa Inu. Munandichiritsa ndi kundikhalitsa ndi moyo.
17 Ddala laba okulumwa ennyo bwe ntyo kyali ku lwa bulungi bwange, naye ggwe owonyezza obulamu bwange okugwa mu bunnya obw’okuzikirira. Kubanga otadde ebibi byange byonna emabega wo.
Ndithudi, ine ndinamva zowawa zotere kuti ndikhale ndi moyo; Inu munandisunga kuti ndisapite ku dzenje la chiwonongeko chifukwa mwakhululukira machimo anga onse.
18 Kubanga tewali n’omu mu nsi y’abafu ayinza kukutendereza, abafu tebayinza kukusuuta; tebaba na ssuubi mu bwesigwa bwo. (Sheol h7585)
Pakuti akumanda sangathe kukutamandani, akufa sangayimbe nyimbo yokutamandani. Iwo amene akutsikira ku dzenje sangakukhulupirireni. (Sheol h7585)
19 Akyali omulamu, y’akutendereza nga nze bwe nkola leero; bakitaabwe b’abaana babategeeza nga bw’oli omwesigwa ennyo.
Amoyo, amoyo okha ndiwo amakutamandani, monga mmene ndikuchitira ine lero lino; abambo amawuza ana awo za kukhulupirika kwanu.
20 Mukama alindokola, kyetunaavanga tuyimba ne tukuba n’ebivuga eby’enkoba ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwaffe, mu nnyumba ya Mukama.
Yehova watipulumutsa. Tiyeni tiyimbe ndi zoyimbira za zingwe masiku onse a moyo wathu mʼNyumba ya Yehova.
21 Isaaya yali agambye nti, “Baddire ekitole ky’ettiini bakisiige ku jjute, liwone.”
Yesaya anati, “Anthu atenge mʼbulu wankhunyu ndipo apake pa chithupsacho ndipo Hezekiya adzachira.”
22 Kubanga Keezeekiya yali abuuzizza nti, “Kabonero ki akalaga nga ndiwona ne ntuuka okulagako mu nnyumba ya Mukama?”
Hezekiya nʼkuti atafunsa kuti, “Kodi chizindikiro chako nʼchiyani chotsimikiza kuti ndidzapita ku Nyumba ya Yehova?”
