U-Isaya 38
1 Ngalezonsuku uHezekhiya wagula waphos'ukufa. UIsaya indodana kaAmozi umprofethi wasefika kuye, wathi kuye: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Layezela indlu yakho, ngoba uzakufa, kawuyikuphila.
Le ŋkeke mawo me la, Hezekia dze dɔ, eye wòɖo kudo nu. Nyagblɔɖila Yesaya, Amoz ƒe vi, yi egbɔ, eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, ‘Ɖɔ wò aƒe ɖo, elabena èle kuku ge, eye màhaya o.’”
2 UHezekhiya wasephendulela ubuso bakhe ngasemdulini, wakhuleka eNkosini,
Hezekia trɔ mo ɖo ɖe gli ŋu, eye wòdo gbe ɖa, ɖe kuku na Yehowa be,
3 wathi: Ngiyakuncenga, Nkosi, ake ukhumbule ukuthi ngihambe phambi kwakho ngobuqotho langenhliziyo epheleleyo, ngenza okulungileyo emehlweni akho. UHezekhiya wasekhala inyembezi ngokukhala okukhulu.
“O! Yehowa, ɖo ŋku ale si metsɔ dzi blibo kple nyateƒe zɔ le ŋkuwò mee, eye mewɔ nu si nyo le ŋkuwòme la dzi.” Eye Hezekia fa avi kple ɣli.
4 Kwasekufika ilizwi leNkosi kuIsaya, lisithi:
Tete Yehowa ƒe gbe va na Yesaya be:
5 Hamba, uthi kuHezekhiya: Itsho njalo iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaDavida uyihlo: Ngiwuzwile umkhuleko wakho, ngibonile inyembezi zakho; khangela, ngizakwengezelela iminyaka elitshumi lanhlanu ensukwini zakho,
“Yi nàgblɔ na Hezekia be, ‘Ale Yehowa, fofowò David ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi, “Mese wò gbedodoɖa, eye mekpɔ wò aɖatsiwo. Matsɔ ƒe wuiatɔ̃ akpe ɖe wò agbenɔƒewo ŋu.”
6 ngikukhulule wena lalumuzi esandleni senkosi yeAsiriya, ngiwuvikele lumuzi.
Maɖe wò kple du sia tso Asiria fia ƒe asi me. Maʋli du sia ta.
7 Lalesi yisibonakaliso kuwe esivela eNkosini, esokuthi iNkosi izayenza le into eyikhulumileyo.
“‘Esiae nye Yehowa ƒe dzesi na wò, be Yehowa awɔ nu si ŋugbe wòdo.
8 Khangela, ngizabuyisela emuva isithunzi sezinyathelo esesehlile ezinyathelweni zelanga zikaAhazi, izinyathelo ezilitshumi emuva. Ilanga laselibuyela emuva izinyathelo ezilitshumi, ngezinyathelo elalehle ngazo.
Mana be vɔvɔli nagbugbɔ ɖe megbe ɖoƒe ewo tso Ahaz ƒe ɣetrɔti gbɔ.’” Ale ɣe ƒe vɔvɔli he ɖe megbe ɖoƒe ewo.
9 Umbhalo kaHezekhiya inkosi yakoJuda lapho egula, esesile emkhuhlaneni wakhe.
Esiae nye Yuda fia, Hezekia, ƒe nyaŋlɔɖiwo, esi wòhaya tso eƒe dɔléle la me vɔ megbe:
10 Mina ngathi: Ekuqunyweni kwezinsuku zami ngizakuya emasangweni engcwaba; ngemukiwe insali yeminyaka yami. (Sheol h7585)
Megblɔ be, “Le nye agbe ƒe kekeli me, ɖe mato ku ƒe agbowo me, eye woaxɔ nye agbemeŋkeke mamlɛawo le asinyea?” (Sheol h7585)
11 Ngathi: Kangiyikubona uJehova, uJehova elizweni labaphilayo; kangisayikubona muntu labahlali bomhlaba.
Megblɔ be, “Nyemagakpɔ Yehowa o. Nyemagakpɔ Yehowa le agbagbeawo ƒe anyigba dzi o; nyemagakpɔ amegbetɔwo alo anɔ anyi kple ame siwo le xexe sia me o.
12 Isizukulwana sami sesisukile, sasuswa kimi njengethente lomelusi; ngiqume impilo yami njengomeluki; uzangiquma njengomkhuhlane ocikizayo; kusukela emini kuze kube sebusuku uzangiqeda.
Womu nye agbadɔ hexɔe le asinye abe ale si wowɔa alẽkplɔla ƒe agbadɔe ene. Abe ale si avɔlɔ̃la ŋlɔa eƒe avɔe heɖenɛ tso agbati me ene la, nenemae meŋlɔ nye agbee, eye nèna nye agbe wu enu zã kple keli.
13 Ngabalisa kwaze kwaba sekuseni; njengesilwane, ngokunjalo uzakwephula amathambo ami wonke; kusukela emini kuze kube sebusuku uzangiqeda.
Melala dzigbɔɖitɔe va se ɖe fɔŋli, gake èŋe nye ƒuwo abe dzata ene, eye zã kple keli nèna nye agbe wu enu.
14 Njengenkonjane kumbe ihemu, ngokunjalo ngatshiyoza; ngilila njengejuba; amehlo ami afiphala ngokukhangela phezulu. Nkosi, ngicindezelwe; woba yisibambiso sami.
Medo ɣli abe sagbadre alo tsalĩ ene, eye mele xɔxlɔ̃m abe ahɔnɛ si tsi akogo ene. Nye ŋkuwo dzi wɔ dɔ̃ɔ esi mewu mo dzi le dziƒo kpɔm. O! Aƒetɔ, mele nu xam, va nàkpe ɖe ŋutinye.”
15 Ngingathini? Ikhulumile kimi, yona uqobo ikwenzile. Ngizahamba kabuthakathaka yonke iminyaka yami ebuhlungwini bomphefumulo wami.
Nu ka gblɔ ge mala? Egblɔ nya nam, eye eya ŋutɔ wɔ ɖe edzi. Eya ta mazɔ ɖokuibɔbɔtɔe. Le nye agbemeŋkekewo katã me, le nye luʋɔ ƒe vevesese ta.
16 Nkosi, ngalezizinto bayaphila, lakuzo zonke lezizinto kulempilo yomoya wami. Njalo uzangelapha, ungiphilise.
O! Aƒetɔ, nu siawo ŋue amewo nɔa agbe ɖo, eye nye hã nye gbɔgbɔ kpɔ agbe le wo me. Èna mehaya, eye nègana mele agbe.
17 Khangela, kulokuthula ngibe lobuhlungu obukhulu, kodwa wena uwuthandile umphefumulo wami wawukhulula egodini lencithakalo, ngoba uphosele ngemva komhlana wakho zonke izono zami.
Le nyateƒe me la, nye nyonyo tae nèna meto vevesese mawo me. Wò lɔlɔ̃ na be nèɖem tso gbegblẽ ƒe do globo me, eye nètsɔ nye nu vɔ̃wo ƒu gbe ɖe megbe wò.
18 Ngoba ingcwaba lingekubonge; ukufa kungekudumise; labo abehlela emgodini bangelithembele iqiniso lakho. (Sheol h7585)
Elabena yɔdo mate ŋu akafu wò o, ku mate ŋu adzi kafukafuhawo na wò o, eye ame siwo yi aʋlime la mate ŋu akpɔ mɔ na wò nuteƒewɔwɔ o. (Sheol h7585)
19 Ophilayo, ophilayo, yena uzakudumisa, njengami lamuhla; uyise uzakwazisa abantwana iqiniso lakho.
Ame gbagbewo koe akafu wò abe ale si mele wɔwɔm egbe ene, eye fofowo agblɔ wò nuteƒewɔwɔ na wo viwo.
20 INkosi yayilungele ukungisindisa; ngakho sizahlabelela izingoma zami ngamachacho insuku zonke zempilo yethu endlini yeNkosi.
Yehowa aɖem, eye míadzi ha kple kasaŋkuwo le míaƒe agbemeŋkekewo katã me, le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me.
21 Ngoba uIsaya wayethe: Kabathathe isigaqa somkhiwa, basifake njengomnameko phezu kwethumba, njalo uzasila.
Azɔ Yesaya gblɔ be, “Mitsɔ gbotsetse miaɖu, atikee. Mitsɔe ɖo ƒoƒoea dzi nɛ ekema ahaya.”
22 UHezekhiya laye wayethe: Siyini isibonakaliso sokuthi ngizakwenyukela endlini yeNkosi?
Hezekia bia be, “Nu kae anye dzesi be magayi Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me?”
