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.
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 UHezekhiya wasephendulela ubuso bakhe ngasemdulini, wakhuleka eNkosini,
Bere a Hesekia tee asɛm yi, otwaa nʼani hwɛɛ ɔfasu, bɔɔ Awurade mpae se,
3 wathi: Ngiyakuncenga, Nkosi, ake ukhumbule ukuthi ngihambe phambi kwakho ngobuqotho langenhliziyo epheleleyo, ngenza okulungileyo emehlweni akho. UHezekhiya wasekhala inyembezi ngokukhala okukhulu.
“Kae, Awurade, sɛnea manantew wʼanim nokware mu na mede me koma ayɛ nea ɛfata wɔ wʼanim.” Na Hesekia suu bebree.
4 Kwasekufika ilizwi leNkosi kuIsaya, lisithi:
Na saa asɛm yi fii Awurade nkyɛn kɔɔ Yesaia hɔ se,
5 Hamba, uthi kuHezekhiya: Itsho njalo iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaDavida uyihlo: Ngiwuzwile umkhuleko wakho, ngibonile inyembezi zakho; khangela, ngizakwengezelela iminyaka elitshumi lanhlanu ensukwini zakho,
“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 ngikukhulule wena lalumuzi esandleni senkosi yeAsiriya, ngiwuvikele lumuzi.
Na megye wo ne kuropɔn yi afi Asiriahene nsam. Mɛbɔ kuropɔn yi ho ban.
7 Lalesi yisibonakaliso kuwe esivela eNkosini, esokuthi iNkosi izayenza le into eyikhulumileyo.
“‘Na eyi ne nsɛnkyerɛnne a Awurade bɛyɛ de adi ho adanse sɛ, obedi ne bɔhyɛ so:
8 Khangela, ngizabuyisela emuva isithunzi sezinyathelo esesehlile ezinyathelweni zelanga zikaAhazi, izinyathelo ezilitshumi emuva. Ilanga laselibuyela emuva izinyathelo ezilitshumi, ngezinyathelo elalehle ngazo.
Mɛma owia ano sunsuma atwe akɔ nʼakyi anammɔn du wɔ Ahas antweri so.’” Ɛno nti, owiahyerɛn no kɔɔ nʼakyi anammɔn du.
9 Umbhalo kaHezekhiya inkosi yakoJuda lapho egula, esesile emkhuhlaneni wakhe.
Nea Yudahene Hesekia kyerɛw wɔ ne yare ne nʼayaresa akyi ni:
10 Mina ngathi: Ekuqunyweni kwezinsuku zami ngizakuya emasangweni engcwaba; ngemukiwe insali yeminyaka yami. (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 Ngathi: Kangiyikubona uJehova, uJehova elizweni labaphilayo; kangisayikubona muntu labahlali bomhlaba.
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 Isizukulwana sami sesisukile, sasuswa kimi njengethente lomelusi; ngiqume impilo yami njengomeluki; uzangiquma njengomkhuhlane ocikizayo; kusukela emini kuze kube sebusuku uzangiqeda.
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 Ngabalisa kwaze kwaba sekuseni; njengesilwane, ngokunjalo uzakwephula amathambo ami wonke; kusukela emini kuze kube sebusuku uzangiqeda.
Mede ntoboase twɛn kosii ahemadakye, nanso wɔbobɔɔ me nnompe mu te sɛ gyata; awia ne anadwo wutwaa me nkwa so.
14 Njengenkonjane kumbe ihemu, ngokunjalo ngatshiyoza; ngilila njengejuba; amehlo ami afiphala ngokukhangela phezulu. Nkosi, ngicindezelwe; woba yisibambiso sami.
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 Ngingathini? Ikhulumile kimi, yona uqobo ikwenzile. Ngizahamba kabuthakathaka yonke iminyaka yami ebuhlungwini bomphefumulo wami.
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 Nkosi, ngalezizinto bayaphila, lakuzo zonke lezizinto kulempilo yomoya wami. Njalo uzangelapha, ungiphilise.
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 Khangela, kulokuthula ngibe lobuhlungu obukhulu, kodwa wena uwuthandile umphefumulo wami wawukhulula egodini lencithakalo, ngoba uphosele ngemva komhlana wakho zonke izono zami.
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 Ngoba ingcwaba lingekubonge; ukufa kungekudumise; labo abehlela emgodini bangelithembele iqiniso lakho. (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 Ophilayo, ophilayo, yena uzakudumisa, njengami lamuhla; uyise uzakwazisa abantwana iqiniso lakho.
Ateasefo nko na wobetumi akamfo wo, sɛnea mereyɛ nnɛ yi; agyanom ka wo nokwaredi ho asɛm kyerɛ wɔn mma.
20 INkosi yayilungele ukungisindisa; ngakho sizahlabelela izingoma zami ngamachacho insuku zonke zempilo yethu endlini yeNkosi.
Awurade begye me nkwa, na yɛde asanku bɛto nnwom yɛn nkwanna nyinaa wɔ Awurade fi.
21 Ngoba uIsaya wayethe: Kabathathe isigaqa somkhiwa, basifake njengomnameko phezu kwethumba, njalo uzasila.
Na Yesaia kae se, “Momfa borɔdɔma nyɛ nku mfa nsra pɔmpɔ no so, na ne ho bɛtɔ no.”
22 UHezekhiya laye wayethe: Siyini isibonakaliso sokuthi ngizakwenyukela endlini yeNkosi?
Na Hesekia bisae se, “Dɛn nsɛnkyerɛnne na ɛbɛda no adi sɛ, mɛkɔ Awurade asɔredan mu?”
