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.”
Saa nna no mu no, Hesekia yaree owuyare, na Amos babarima Odiyifo Yesaia kɔɔ ne nkyɛn kɔkae se, “Sɛnea Awurade se ni: Toto wʼakwan yiye, efisɛ worebewu; na wo ho renyɛ wo den bio.”
2 Awo Keezeekiya n’akyuka n’atunuulira ekisenge n’asaba ne yeegayirira Mukama
Bere a Hesekia tee asɛm yi, otwaa nʼani hwɛɛ ɔfasu, bɔɔ Awurade mpae se,
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.
“Kae, Awurade, sɛnea manantew wʼanim nokware mu na mede me koma ayɛ nea ɛfata wɔ wʼanim.” Na Hesekia suu bebree.
4 Awo Ekigambo kya Katonda ne kijja eri Isaaya,
Na saa asɛm yi fii Awurade nkyɛn kɔɔ Yesaia hɔ se,
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.
“San kɔ Hesekia nkyɛn, na kɔka kyerɛ no se, ‘Sɛɛ na Awurade, wʼagya Dawid Nyankopɔn, ka: Mate wo mpaebɔ no, na mahu wo nisu. Mede mfe dunum bɛka wo nkwanna ho.
6 Era ndikuwonya ggwe n’ekibuga kino mu mukono gwa kabaka w’e Bwasuli: Era ndikuuma ekibuga kino.
Na megye wo ne kuropɔn yi afi Asiriahene nsam. Mɛbɔ kuropɔn yi ho ban.
7 “‘Era kano ke kabonero k’onoofuna okuva eri Mukama nti Mukama alikola ekigambo ky’ayogedde.
“‘Na eyi ne nsɛnkyerɛnne a Awurade bɛyɛ de adi ho adanse sɛ, obedi ne bɔhyɛ so:
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.
Mɛma owia ano sunsuma atwe akɔ nʼakyi anammɔn du wɔ Ahas antweri so.’” Ɛno nti, owiahyerɛn no kɔɔ nʼakyi anammɔn du.
9 Awo Keezeekiya Kabaka wa Yuda bwe yassuuka, n’awandiika ebigambo bino;
Nea Yudahene Hesekia kyerɛw wɔ ne yare ne nʼayaresa akyi ni:
10 nayogera nti, “Mu maanyi g’obulamu bwange mwe nnali ŋŋenda okufiira nnyingire mu miryango gy’emagombe, nga simazeeyo myaka gyange egisigaddeyo.” (Sheol h7585)
Mekae se, “Mʼasetena mu nnapa yi mu ɛsɛ sɛ mefa owu apon mu na wogye me mfe a aka yi ana?” (Sheol h7585)
11 Ne ndyoka njogera nti, “Sigenda kuddayo kulaba Mukama, mu nsi y’abalamu. Sikyaddamu kulaba bantu mu nsi abantu mwe babeera.
Mekae se, “Merenhu Awurade Nyankopɔn bio Awurade a ɔwɔ ateasefo asase so. Merenhu adesamma bio, anaa merenka wɔn a wɔte wiase yi ho bio.
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.
Wɔadwiriw me fi agu agye afi me nsam, te sɛ, oguanhwɛfo ntamadan. Matwa me nkwa so sɛnea ɔnwemfo twa me fi asadua so; awia ne anadwo wutwaa me nkwa so.
13 Ekiro kyonna nakaabanga olw’obulumi nga ndi ng’empologoma gw’emmenyaamenya amagumba, ekiro n’emisana nga ndowooza nga Mukama yali amalawo obulamu bwange.
Mede ntoboase twɛn kosii ahemadakye, nanso wɔbobɔɔ me nnompe mu te sɛ gyata; awia ne anadwo wutwaa me nkwa so.
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.”
Misuu sɛ asomfena anaa asukɔnkɔn; mitwaa adwo sɛ, aborɔnoma a ɔredi awerɛhow. Mʼani yɛɛ siamoo bere a mehwɛɛ soro. Mewɔ ɔhaw mu, Awurade, bra bɛboa me!”
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.
Na dɛn na metumi aka? Wakasa akyerɛ me, na ɔno ankasa na wayɛ eyi. Mede ahobrɛase bɛnantew mʼasetena nyinaa mu me kra ahoyeraw yi nti.
16 Ayi Mukama, olw’ebyo, abantu babeera abalamu, era mu ebyo omwoyo gwange mwe gubeerera omulamu. Omponye, mbeere mulamu.
Awurade, ɛnam saa nneɛma yi so na nnipa nya nkwa na me honhom nso nya nkwa wɔ mu. Wode mʼakwahosan asan ama me nam so ama manya nkwa.
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.
Yiw, ɛyɛ me yiyeyɛ nti na mekɔɔ saa ahoyeraw yi mu. Wo dɔ nti, wode me siei na mankɔ ɔsɛe amoa mu; na wode me bɔne nyinaa akyɛ me.
18 Kubanga tewali n’omu mu nsi y’abafu ayinza kukutendereza, abafu tebayinza kukusuuta; tebaba na ssuubi mu bwesigwa bwo. (Sheol h7585)
Ɔda rentumi nkamfo wo; owu rentumi nto wo ayeyi nnwom; wɔn a wosian kɔ amoa mu no rentumi nnya anidaso wɔ wo nokware mu bio. (Sheol h7585)
19 Akyali omulamu, y’akutendereza nga nze bwe nkola leero; bakitaabwe b’abaana babategeeza nga bw’oli omwesigwa ennyo.
Ateasefo nko na wobetumi akamfo wo, sɛnea mereyɛ nnɛ yi; agyanom ka wo nokwaredi ho asɛm kyerɛ wɔn mma.
20 Mukama alindokola, kyetunaavanga tuyimba ne tukuba n’ebivuga eby’enkoba ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwaffe, mu nnyumba ya Mukama.
Awurade begye me nkwa, na yɛde asanku bɛto nnwom yɛn nkwanna nyinaa wɔ Awurade fi.
21 Isaaya yali agambye nti, “Baddire ekitole ky’ettiini bakisiige ku jjute, liwone.”
Na Yesaia kae se, “Momfa borɔdɔma nyɛ nku mfa nsra pɔmpɔ no so, na ne ho bɛtɔ no.”
22 Kubanga Keezeekiya yali abuuzizza nti, “Kabonero ki akalaga nga ndiwona ne ntuuka okulagako mu nnyumba ya Mukama?”
Na Hesekia bisae se, “Dɛn nsɛnkyerɛnne na ɛbɛda no adi sɛ, mɛkɔ Awurade asɔredan mu?”
