Isaayyaas 38
1 Bara sana keessa Hisqiyaas dhukkubsatee duʼuu gaʼee ture. Isaayyaas ilmi Amoos raajichi gara isaa dhaqee, “Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Mana kee tottolfadhu; ati ni duuta malee hin fayyituutii” jedheen.
In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith Yhwh, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.
2 Hisqiyaasis fuula isaa gara keenyan manaatti garagalfatee akkana jedhee Waaqayyoon kadhate;
Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto Yhwh,
3 “Yaa Waaqayyo, akka ani amanamummaa fi garaa tokkoon fuula kee dura jiraadhee waan fuula kee duratti gaarii taʼes hojjedhe yaadadhu.” Hisqiyaasis hiqqifatee ni booʼe.
And said, Remember now, O Yhwh, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.
4 Ergasiis dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Isaayyaas dhufe:
Then came the word of Yhwh to Isaiah, saying,
5 “Dhaqiitii akkana jedhii Hisqiyaasitti himi; ‘Waaqayyo Waaqni abbaa kee Daawit akkana jedha: Ani kadhannaa kee dhagaʼeera; imimmaan kees argeera; ani umurii kee irratti waggaa kudha shan siifan dabala.
Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith Yhwh, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years.
6 Ani siʼii fi magaalaa kana harka mooticha Asooriitii nan baasa. Ani magaalaa kana nan eega.
And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city.
7 “‘Kun mallattoo Waaqayyoo kan akka inni waan waadaa gale sana guutu mirkaneessuuf Waaqayyo biraa siif kennamee dha:
And this shall be a sign unto thee from Yhwh, that Yhwh will do this thing that he hath spoken;
8 Ani akka gaaddidduun aduu tarkaanfii kurnan gulantaa Aahaaz irraan gad buʼe sana dugda duubatti deebiʼu nan godha.’” Kanaafuu gaaddidduun tarkaanfii kurnan gad buʼee ture sun dugda duubatti deebiʼe.
Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down.
9 Barreeffama Hisqiyaas mootichi Yihuudaa erga dhukkubsatee fayyee booddee barreesse:
The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness:
10 Anis, “Walakkaa umurii kootiitti, ani siiʼool seenuun qabaa? Bara jireenya koo kan hafes dhabuun qabaa?” nan jedhe. (Sheol h7585)
I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the residue of my years. (Sheol h7585)
11 Ani akkanan jedhe; “Ani biyya jiraattotaa keessatti, lammata Waaqayyoon hin argu; ani siʼachi sanyii namaa hin ilaalu, yookaan warra addunyaa kana irra jiraatan wajjin hin jiraadhu.
I said, I shall not see Yah, even Yah, in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world.
12 Manni koo akkuma dunkaana tiksootaa buqqifamee narraa fudhatameera. Ani akkuma wayyaa dhooftuu jireenya koo marmareera; inni miʼa wayyaa dhooftuu irraa na kuteera; ati halkanii guyyaa na balleessita.
Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd’s tent: I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with pining sickness: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.
13 Ani hamma bariitti obsaan nan eeggadhe; inni garuu akka leencaa lafee koo hunda caccabse; ati halkanii guyyaas na balleessita.
I reckoned till morning, that, as a lion, so will he break all my bones: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.
14 Ani akka simbirroo yookaan akkuma daalotee nan wace; akka gugee boossuus nan aade; iji koo gara samii ilaaluudhaan dadhabe; yaa Gooftaa ani rakkadheeraa kottuu na gargaari!”
Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail with looking upward: O Yhwh, I am oppressed; undertake for me.
15 Ani garuu maal jechuun dandaʼa? Inni natti dubbate; inni mataan isaas waan kana godhe. Ani waaʼee dhiphinaa lubbuu kootiif umurii koo guutuu gad of qabee nan jiraadha.
What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done it: I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul.
16 Yaa Gooftaa, namoonni waanuma akkasiitiin jiraatu; hafuurri koos isaanumaan jireenya argata. Ati na fayyiftee lubbuudhaanis na jiraachifte.
O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live.
17 Dhugumaan akkas dhiphachuun koo faayidaa kootiif. Ati jaalala keetiin boolla badiisaa irraa na eegde; cubbuu koo hundas, dugda kee duubatti gatte.
Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.
18 Siiʼool si galateeffachuu hin dandaʼutii; duutis si jajachuu hin dandaʼu. Warri qileetti gad buʼan, amanamummaa kee abdachuu hin dandaʼan. (Sheol h7585)
For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. (Sheol h7585)
19 Isaan akkuma ani harʼa gochaa jiru kana yaa jiraataa, yaa jiraataa jedhanii si jajatu; abbootiin waaʼee amanamummaa keetii ijoollee isaaniitti ni odeessu.
The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.
20 Waaqayyo na baraara; nus bara jireenya keenyaa guutuu, mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti miʼa ribuu irraa hojjetameen faarfanna.
Yhwh was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of Yhwh.
21 Isaayyaas, “Maxinoo harbuu tolchaatii dhullaa isaa irra kaaʼaa; innis ni fayyaa” jedhee ture.
For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaister upon the boil, and he shall recover.
22 Hisqiyaasis, “Akka ani gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti ol baʼuuf maaltu mallattoo taʼa?” jedhee gaafate.
Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of Yhwh?
