Isaia 38
1 Ary tamin’ izany andro izany dia narary saiky maty Hezekia; ary Isaia mpaminany zanak’ i Amoza, nankao aminy ka nilaza taminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Hafaro ny ankohonanao, fa ho faty ianao, fa tsy ho velona.
In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death; and Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him, and said to him, Set thy house in order, for thou shalt die, and not live.
2 Dia nitodika nankany amin’ ny rindrina Hezekia ka nivavaka tamin’ i Jehovah
Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and made his supplication to Jehovah.
3 hoe: Jehovah ô, enga anie ka hotsarovanao ny nandehanako teo anatrehanao tamin’ ny fahamarinana sy tamin’ ny foko rehetra ary ny nanaovako izay tsara eo imasonao Dia nitomany mafy dia mafy izy.
And he said, I beseech thee, O Jehovah, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth, and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thine eyes! And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
4 Dia tonga tamin’ Isaia ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
Then came the word of Jehovah to Isaiah,
5 Mandehana, ka lazao amin’ i Hezekia hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitr’ i Davida rainao: Efa nohenoiko ny fitarainanao, ary efa hitako ny ranomasonao; indro, hampiako dimy ambin’ ny folo taona ny andronao,
Go in and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of David thy father: I have heard thy prayer; I have seen thy tears. Behold, I will add to thy life fifteen years.
6 sady hamonjy anao sy ity tanàna ity amin’ ny tanan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria Aho; ary hiaro ity tanàna ity Aho.
And I will deliver thee and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.
7 Ary izao no ho famantarana ho anao avy amin’ i Jehovah, hahalalanao fa Jehovah hanao izay zavatra nolazainy:
And this shall be the sign to thee from Jehovah, that Jehovah will do that which he hath spoken.
8 Indro, hampiverina ny aloka hàdiny folo Aho araka ny nampidinan’ ny masoandro azy teo amin’ ny dialin’ i Ahaza. Ka dia niverina hàdiny folo ny masoandro, dia ilay efa nidinany.
Behold, I will cause the shadow upon the dial, which hath gone down upon the dial of Ahaz with the sun, to go back ten degrees. So the sun went back ten degrees, which degrees it had gone down.
9 Ny teny nosoratan’ i Hezekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, raha narary izy ka sitrana tamin’ ny aretiny:
The writing of Hezekiah, king of Judah, when he had been sick, and had recovered from his sickness.
10 Hoy izaho: Amin’ izao andro mbola iadanako izao no tsy maintsy idirako amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita; nesorina tamiko ny androko sisa. (Sheol h7585)
I said: “Now, in the quiet of my days, shall I go down to the gates of the under-world; I am deprived of the residue of my years.” (Sheol h7585)
11 Hoy izaho: Tsy mba hahita an’ i Jehovah intsony aho. Eny, tsy mba hahita an’ i Jehovah ao amin’ ny velona intsony aho; Tsy mba hahita olona intsony aho, fa ho isan’ ny mponina any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita.
I said: “No more shall I see Jehovah, Jehovah in the land of the living. I shall behold man no more Among the inhabitants of stillness.
12 Ny fonenako nesorina ka nafindra tsy ho amiko, tahaka ny lain’ ny mpiandry ondry; Ahoroko tahaka ny tenona ny androko, fa efa hotapahiny ho afaka amin’ ny haraka izy; Indray andro monja no anaperanao ny aiko.
My habitation is torn away and removed from me, Like a shepherd's tent; My life is rolled up as by the weaver; He cutteth me off from the thrum; Between morning and night wilt thou make an end of me!”
13 Nampionona ny foko aho mandra-pahamarain’ ny andro; Tahaka ny fanapatapaky ny liona no anapatapahany ny taolako rehetra; Indray andro monja no anaperanao ny aiko.
I waited till morning, and like a lion Did he crush all my bones; “Between morning and night wilt thou make an end of me!”
14 Ka dia mikoraraika tahaka ny sidintsidina sy ny vano aho. Ary mitolokoloko tahaka ny voromailala. Pahina ny masoko noho ny faniriako ho any amin’ ny avo; Jehovah ô, ory loatra aho, aoka hiantoka ahy Hianao.
Like a swallow or a crane, so did I twitter; I did mourn as a dove; Mine eyes failed with looking upward; “O Lord, I am in distress; O, deliver me!”
15 Ahoana no holazaiko? Sady nilaza tamiko Izy no nahatanteraka koa; Handeha mijoretra aho amin’ ny taonako sisa rehetra noho ny fangidian’ ny aiko.
What shall I say? He promised it, and he hath done it; I will walk humbly all my life On account of the bitterness of my soul.
16 Tompo ô, izany no iveloman’ ny olona, ary amin’ izany tokoa no iainan’ ny fanahiko, ka dia mahasitrana sy mahavelona ahy Hianao.
Lord, it is thus that men live; From thee alone cometh the life of my spirit; Thou hast restored me, and caused me to live.
17 Indro, tonga fiadanana ilay fahoriana mangidy dia mangidy nanjo ahy, ary ny fitiavanao no namonjenao ny fanahiko tsy hankany amin’ ny lavaka fahalevonana; Fa narianao teo ivohonao ny fahotako rehetra.
Behold, my anguish is changed into ease; In love thou hast delivered me from the pit of destruction; Thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.
18 Fa ny fiainan-tsi-hita tsy mba mahasaotra Anao, ny fahafatesana tsy mahadera Anao; Fa izay midìna any an-davaka dia tsy mahazo manantena ny fahamarinanao. (Sheol h7585)
For the under-world cannot praise thee; The realms of death cannot celebrate thee; They that go down to the pit cannot wait for thy faithfulness. (Sheol h7585)
19 Ny velona dia ny velona ihany no hidera Anao, tahaka izao izaho anio izao; Ny ray hampahalala ny zanany ny fahamarinanao.
The living, the living praise thee, as I do this day; The father to the children shall make known thy faithfulness.
20 Jehovah efa vonona hamonjy Ahy, Ka dia hitendry ny lokangako ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah izahay Amin’ ny andro rehetra iainanay.
Jehovah hath saved me; Therefore will we sing our songs with stringed instruments, All the days of our life, In the house of Jehovah.
21 Ary hoy Isaia: Makà ampempan’ aviavy, ary apetaho amin’ ny vay izany, mba ho sitrana izy.
Now Isaiah had said, let them take a lump of figs, and bruise them, and lay them upon the ulcer, and he shall recover.
22 Ary hoy Hezekia: Inona no famantarana fa hiakatra ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah aho?
Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of Jehovah?
