Isaiah 38

1 In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him, and said to him, “The LORD says, ‘Set your house in order, for you will die, and not live.’”

Nan jou sa yo, Ézéchias te vin malad, prèt pou mouri. Epi Ésaïe, pwofèt la, fis a Amots la, te vin kote li. Li te di l: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Mete lakay ou an lòd, paske ou va mouri; ou p ap viv.’”

2 Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD,

Ézéchias te vire figi li vè mi kay la pou te priye a SENYÈ a.

3 and said, “Remember now, the LORD, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight.” Then Hezekiah wept bitterly.

Li te di: “Sonje koulye a, O SENYÈ, mwen mande Ou souple, pou jan mwen te mache devan Ou nan verite, ak yon kè entèg e te fè sa ki te bon devan zye Ou.” Konsa, Ézéchias te plere byen fò.

4 Then the LORD’s word came to Isaiah, saying,

Alò, pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote Ésaïe, epi te di l:

5 “Go, and tell Hezekiah, ‘The LORD, the God of David your father, says, “I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Behold, I will add fifteen years to your life.

“Ale pale ak Ézéchias epi di li: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Mwen te tande lapriyè ou, Mwen te wè dlo ki t ap sòti nan zye ou. Gade byen, Mwen va mete kenzan sou lavi ou.

6 I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.

Mwen va delivre ou ak vil sa a soti nan men a wa Assyrie a, epi Mwen va defann vil sa a.”’

7 This shall be the sign to you from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he has spoken.

Konsa, sa va sign pou ou soti nan SENYÈ a, ke SENYÈ a va fè bagay sa ke Li te pale a:

8 Behold, I will cause the shadow on the sundial, which has gone down on the sundial of Ahaz with the sun, to return backward ten steps.”’” So the sun returned ten steps on the sundial on which it had gone down.

Gade byen, Mwen va fè lonbraj sou eskalye a, lonbraj ki te desann avèk solèy la sou eskalye Achaz la, pou fè back dis pa.” Epi konsa lonbraj solèy la te fè bak dis pa sou menm eskalye kote li te desann nan.

9 The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and had recovered of his sickness:

Men yon chanson ke Ézéchias te ekri apre li te malad e te vin refè a:

10 I said, "In the middle of my life I go into the gates of Sheol (Sheol h7585). I am deprived of the residue of my years."

Mwen te di: “Nan mitan lavi m, mwen gen pou antre nan pòtay Sejou mò yo. Mwen gen pou pèdi tout rès ane mwen yo.” (Sheol h7585)

11 I said, “I will not see the LORD, the LORD in the land of the living. I will see man no more with the inhabitants of the world.

Mwen te di: “Mwen p ap wè SENYÈ a; SENYÈ nan peyi vivan yo. Mwen p ap wè moun ankò pami sila ki viv nan mond yo.

12 My dwelling is removed, and is carried away from me like a shepherd’s tent. I have rolled up my life like a weaver. He will cut me off from the loom. From day even to night you will make an end of me.

Tankou tant a yon bèje, lakay mwen va rache retire sou mwen. Tankou yon bòs twal, m ap woule fè monte lavi m. L ap koupe m fè m sòti nan ankadreman bòs twal la. Soti lajounen rive nan lannwit, Ou va fè yon fen ak mwen.

13 I waited patiently until morning. He breaks all my bones like a lion. From day even to night you will make an end of me.

Mwen te kalme nanm mwen jis rive nan maten. Tankou yon lyon—se konsa Li kraze tout zo m, soti lajounen jis rive lannwit, ou fè yon fen ak mwen.

14 I chattered like a swallow or a crane. I moaned like a dove. My eyes weaken looking upward. Lord, I am oppressed. Be my security.”

Tankou yon iwondèl, tankou yon zwazo se konsa mwen kriye. Mwen plenyen kon yon toutrèl. Zye m gade ak feblès vè wotè yo. O Senyè, mwen oprime! Fè m sekou!

15 What will I say? He has both spoken to me, and himself has done it. I will walk carefully all my years because of the anguish of my soul.

Kisa mwen kapab di? Non sèlman Li te pale ak mwen, Men Li, Li menm, te fè l. Mwen va mache an règ pandan tout ane m yo akoz gou anmè kè m fin goute.

16 Lord, men live by these things; and my spirit finds life in all of them. You restore me, and cause me to live.

O Senyè, se pou bagay sa yo ke moun viv, e nan sa yo, lespri m jwenn lavi. Ou te fè m twouve lasante e te fè m viv!

17 Behold, for peace I had great anguish, but you have in love for my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption; for you have cast all my sins behind your back.

Alò, mwen te manke gen lapè; men Ou menm ki te kenbe nanm mwen, pou l pa antre nan fòs gwo abim nan, Ou te jete tout peche m yo dèyè do Ou.

18 For Sheol (Sheol h7585) cannot praise you. Death cannot celebrate you. Those who go down into the pit cannot hope for your truth.

Paske Sejou mò yo p ap ka remèsye Ou. Lanmò menm p ap ka bay Ou lwanj. Sila ki desann nan fos yo p ap ka gen espwa fidelite Ou. (Sheol h7585)

19 The living, the living, he shall praise you, as I do today. The father shall make known your truth to the children.

Se vivan, vivan yo ki bay Ou remèsiman, tankou mwen menm, mwen fè jodi a. Yon papa va pale ak fis li yo selon fidelite Ou.

20 The LORD will save me. Therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments all the days of our life in the LORD’s house.

Anverite, SENYÈ a va sove mwen. Konsa, nou va chante chanson mwen yo sou enstriman kòd yo pou tout lavi nou lakay SENYÈ a.”

21 Now Isaiah had said, “Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it for a poultice on the boil, and he shall recover.”

Alò Ésaïe te di: “Kite yo fè yon pomad ak gato fig etranje e mete li sou abse a, pou l ka geri.”

22 Hezekiah also had said, “What is the sign that I will go up to the LORD’s house?”

Epi Ézéchias te di: “Se kisa k ap sign ke mwen va monte lakay SENYÈ a?”
