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 ɛberɛ no mu, ɔhene Hesekia yaree yarewuo, ɛnna Amos babarima odiyifoɔ Yesaia kɔsraa no. Ɔkaa saa asɛm yi kyerɛɛ ɔhene no, “Sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie: Hyɛ wo nsamanseɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, wobɛwu. Wo yadeɛ no rennyae.”
2 UHezekhiya wasephendulela ubuso bakhe ngasemdulini, wakhuleka eNkosini,
Ɛberɛ a Hesekia tee asɛm yi, ɔtwaa nʼani hwɛɛ fasuo, bɔɔ Awurade mpaeɛ sɛ,
3 wathi: Ngiyakuncenga, Nkosi, ake ukhumbule ukuthi ngihambe phambi kwakho ngobuqotho langenhliziyo epheleleyo, ngenza okulungileyo emehlweni akho. UHezekhiya wasekhala inyembezi ngokukhala okukhulu.
“Kae, Ao, Awurade, sɛdeɛ manante wʼanim nokorɛm na mede mʼakoma ayɛ deɛ ɛfata wɔ wʼanim.” Na Hesekia suu bebree.
4 Kwasekufika ilizwi leNkosi kuIsaya, lisithi:
Na saa asɛm yi firi Awurade nkyɛn kɔɔ Yesaia hɔ sɛ,
5 Hamba, uthi kuHezekhiya: Itsho njalo iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaDavida uyihlo: Ngiwuzwile umkhuleko wakho, ngibonile inyembezi zakho; khangela, ngizakwengezelela iminyaka elitshumi lanhlanu ensukwini zakho,
“Sane kɔ Hesekia nkyɛn, na kɔka kyerɛ no sɛ, ‘Sei na Awurade, wʼagya Dawid Onyankopɔn ka: Mate wo mpaeɛbɔ no, na mahunu wo nisuo. Mede mfeɛ dunum bɛka wo nkwa nna ho.
6 ngikukhulule wena lalumuzi esandleni senkosi yeAsiriya, ngiwuvikele lumuzi.
Na mɛgye wo ne kuropɔn yi afiri Asiriahene nsam. Mɛbɔ kuropɔn yi ho ban.
7 Lalesi yisibonakaliso kuwe esivela eNkosini, esokuthi iNkosi izayenza le into eyikhulumileyo.
“‘Na yei ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a Awurade bɛyɛ de adi ho adanseɛ sɛ, ɔbɛdi 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 sunsum atwe akɔ nʼakyi anammɔn edu wɔ Ahas atwedeɛ so.’” Ɛno enti, owia hyerɛn no kɔɔ nʼakyi anammɔn edu.
9 Umbhalo kaHezekhiya inkosi yakoJuda lapho egula, esesile emkhuhlaneni wakhe.
Deɛ Yudahene Hesekia twerɛeɛ ne yadeɛ ne nʼayaresa akyi nie:
10 Mina ngathi: Ekuqunyweni kwezinsuku zami ngizakuya emasangweni engcwaba; ngemukiwe insali yeminyaka yami. (Sheol h7585)
Mekaa sɛ, “Mʼasetena mu nnapa yi mu ɛsɛ sɛ mefa owuo apono mu na wɔgye me mfeɛ a aka yi anaa?” (Sheol h7585)
11 Ngathi: Kangiyikubona uJehova, uJehova elizweni labaphilayo; kangisayikubona muntu labahlali bomhlaba.
Mekaa sɛ, “Merenhunu Awurade Onyankopɔn bio Awurade a ɔwɔ ateasefoɔ asase so. Merenhunu adasamma bio, anaa merenka wɔn a wɔte ewiase yi ho bio.
12 Isizukulwana sami sesisukile, sasuswa kimi njengethente lomelusi; ngiqume impilo yami njengomeluki; uzangiquma njengomkhuhlane ocikizayo; kusukela emini kuze kube sebusuku uzangiqeda.
Wɔadwiri me fie agu agye afiri me nsam, te sɛ odwanhwɛfoɔ ntomadan. Matwa me nkwa so sɛdeɛ ɔnwomfoɔ, twa me firi asadua so; awia ne anadwo wotwaa me nkwa so.
13 Ngabalisa kwaze kwaba sekuseni; njengesilwane, ngokunjalo uzakwephula amathambo ami wonke; kusukela emini kuze kube sebusuku uzangiqeda.
Mede ntoboaseɛ twɛneeɛ kɔsii ahemadakye, nanso wɔbobɔɔ me nnompe mu te sɛ gyata; awia ne anadwo wotwaa me nkwa so.
14 Njengenkonjane kumbe ihemu, ngokunjalo ngatshiyoza; ngilila njengejuba; amehlo ami afiphala ngokukhangela phezulu. Nkosi, ngicindezelwe; woba yisibambiso sami.
Mesuiɛ sɛ asomfena anaa asukɔnkɔn; metwaa adwo sɛ aborɔnoma a ɔredi awerɛhoɔ. Mʼani yɛɛ siamoo ɛberɛ 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 ɛdeɛn na mɛtumi aka? Wakasa akyerɛ me, na ɔno ankasa na wayɛ yei. Mede ahobrɛaseɛ bɛnante mʼasetena nyinaa mu me kra ahoyera yi enti.
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 anya nkwa wɔ mu. Wode mʼapɔmuden asane ama me. Wonam 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.
Aane, ɛyɛ me yieyɛ enti na mekɔɔ saa ahoyera yi mu. Wo dɔ enti, wode me sieeɛ na mankɔ ɔsɛe amena mu; na wode me bɔne nyinaa akyɛ me.
18 Ngoba ingcwaba lingekubonge; ukufa kungekudumise; labo abehlela emgodini bangelithembele iqiniso lakho. (Sheol h7585)
Damena rentumi nkamfo wo; owuo rentumi nto wo ayɛyi nnwom; wɔn a wɔsiane kɔ amena mu no rentumi nya anidasoɔ wɔ wo nokorɛ mu bio. (Sheol h7585)
19 Ophilayo, ophilayo, yena uzakudumisa, njengami lamuhla; uyise uzakwazisa abantwana iqiniso lakho.
Ateasefoɔ nko na wɔbɛtumi akamfo wo, sɛdeɛ mereyɛ ɛnnɛ yi; agyanom ka wo nokorɛdie ho asɛm kyerɛ wɔn mma.
20 INkosi yayilungele ukungisindisa; ngakho sizahlabelela izingoma zami ngamachacho insuku zonke zempilo yethu endlini yeNkosi.
Awurade bɛgye me nkwa, na yɛde ahoma nnwontodeɛ bɛto nnwom yɛn nkwa nna nyinaa wɔ Awurade efie.
21 Ngoba uIsaya wayethe: Kabathathe isigaqa somkhiwa, basifake njengomnameko phezu kwethumba, njalo uzasila.
Na Yesaia kaa sɛ, “Momfa borɔdɔma nyɛ nku mfa nsra pɔmpɔ no so, na ne ho bɛyɛ no den.”
22 UHezekhiya laye wayethe: Siyini isibonakaliso sokuthi ngizakwenyukela endlini yeNkosi?
Na Hesekia bisaa sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ na ɛbɛda no adi sɛ mɛkɔ Awurade asɔredan mu?”
