< Isaiah 38 >

1 About that time was Hezekiah sicke vnto the death, and the Prophet Isaiah sonne of Amoz came vnto him, and sayd vnto him, Thus sayth the Lord, Put thine house in an order, for thou shalt dye, and not liue.
Vè menm epòk sa a, Ezekyas tonbe malad, li te prèt pou l' mouri. Pwofèt Ezayi, pitit Amòz la, vin wè li, li di l' konsa: -Men sa Seyè a voye di ou: Ou mèt mete lòd nan zafè ou paske ou pral mouri. Pa gen rechap pou ou.
2 Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord,
Ezekyas vire figi li bay panno a fas, li lapriyè Seyè a.
3 And saide, I beseeche thee, Lord, remember nowe howe I haue walked before thee in trueth, and with a perfite heart, and haue done that which is good in thy sight: and Hezekiah wept sore.
Li di: -Tanpri, Seyè! Chonje jan mwen te sèvi ou ak tout kè mwen san m' pa janm vire do ba ou! Mwen te toujou fè sa ou te vle m' fè. Epi li pran kriye kont kriye l'.
4 Then came the worde of the Lord to Isaiah, saying,
Lè sa a, Seyè a pale ak Ezayi, li di l' konsa:
5 Goe, and say vnto Hezekiah, Thus saith the Lord God of Dauid thy father, I haue heard thy prayer, and seene thy teares: behold, I will adde vnto thy dayes fifteene yeeres.
-Tounen al jwenn Ezekyas. W'a di l' pou mwen, men sa Seyè a, Bondye David, zansèt ou a, voye di ou: Mwen tande lapriyè ou. Mwen wè jan sa fè ou mal. M'ap kite ou viv kenzan ankò.
6 And I will deliuer thee out of the hand of the King of Asshur, and this citie: for I will defende this citie.
M'ap delivre ou ansanm ak lavil Jerizalèm anba men wa Lasiri a. M'a pran defans lavil la.
7 And this signe shalt thou haue of ye Lord, that ye Lord will do this thing that he hath spoken,
Ezayi reponn li: -Men siy Seyè a pral fè ou wè pou ou ka konnen l'ap kenbe pawòl li.
8 Beholde, I will bring againe the shadowe of the degrees (whereby it is gone downe in the diall of Ahaz by the sunne) ten degrees backeward: so the sunne returned by tenne degrees, by the which degrees it was gone downe.
Gade kadran solèy wa Akaz te fè a. Seyè a pral fè lonbraj la fè bak sou dis ti mak. Epi vre, lonbraj la mache fè bak sou dènye dis ti mak li te fin depase.
9 The writing of Hezekiah King of Iudah, when he had bene sicke, and was recouered of his sickenesse.
Men kantik Ezekyas, wa a, te chante lè li refè apre maladi li a:
10 I saide in the cutting off of my dayes, I shall goe to the gates of the graue: I am depriued of the residue of my yeeres. (Sheol h7585)
Mwen t'ap di nan kè m' se mwatye nan lavi m' ase mwen viv. Gade mwen gen tan pral mouri. Mwen rive nan pòt pou m' antre kote mò yo ye a. M'ap mouri anvan lè m'. (Sheol h7585)
11 I said, I shall not see the Lord, euen the Lord in the land of the liuing: I shall see man no more among the inhabitants of the world.
Mwen te kwè mwen pa t'ap janm gen chans ankò pou m' te wè Seyè a sou latè kote moun vivan yo ye a, ni pou m' te wè pesonn ankò nan moun k'ap viv sou latè.
12 Mine habitation is departed, and is remoued from me, like a shepheards tent: I haue cut off like a weauer my life: he will cut me off from the height: from day to night, thou wilt make an ende of me.
Tankou yon ti kay jaden, yo rache m', yo demoli m' pote m' ale. Yo koupe lavi m' tankou yo koupe fil nan metye moun k'ap tise twal yo. Soti nan maten rive aswè, m'ap deperi.
13 I rekoned to the morning: but he brake all my bones, like a lion: from day to night wilt thou make an ende of me.
Tout lannwit m'ap rele anba doulè. Tankou yon lyon, Bondye t'ap kraze tout zo nan kò m'. Soti nan maten rive nan aswè, m'ap deperi.
14 Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourne as a doue: mine eies were lift vp on high: O Lord, it hath oppressed me, comfort me.
M'ap plenn tou piti tankou ranmye. M'ap plenyen tankou yon toutrèl. Je m' bouke tank m'ap gade syèl la. Seyè, mwen pa kapab ankò! Vin fè kichòy pou mwen non!
15 What shall I say? for he hath said it to me, and he hath done it: I shall walke weakely all my yeeres in the bitternesse of my soule.
Kijan pou m' pale avè l'? Sa pou m' di l'? Se Seyè a k'ap fè travay li. Malgre tout lapenn sa a ki nan kè m' lan, m'a debat ak lavi a jouk mwen mouri.
16 O Lord, to them that ouerliue them, and to all that are in them, the life of my spirite shalbe knowen, that thou causedst me to sleepe and hast giuen life to me.
Seyè! nan bon kè ou, ou fè m' jwi lavi. Souf lavi a nan mwen toujou. W'ap geri m', w'ap ban m' lavi.
17 Beholde, for felicitie I had bitter griefe, but it was thy pleasure to deliuer my soule from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sinnes behinde thy backe.
Ou wete m' nan kè sere m' te ye a. Se ou menm ki wete m' nan bouch twou a. Ou voye tout peche m' yo jete dèyè do ou.
18 For the graue cannot confesse thee: death cannot praise thee: they that goe downe into the pit, cannot hope for thy trueth. (Sheol h7585)
Yo pa fè lwanj ou kote mò yo ye a. Non. Moun mouri pa ka fè fèt pou ou! Moun ki deja desann kote mò yo ye a pa ka konte sou ou pou ou kenbe pawòl ou. (Sheol h7585)
19 But the liuing, the liuing, he shall confesse thee, as I doe this day: the father to the children shall declare thy trueth.
Se moun ki vivan ase ki ka fè lwanj ou tankou mwen menm jòdi a. Granmoun va fè pitit yo konnen jan ou toujou kenbe pawòl!
20 The Lord was ready to saue me: therefore we will sing my song, all the dayes of our life in the House of the Lord.
Seyè a delivre m'! N'a fè mizik sou tout enstriman mizik nou yo n'a chante nan kay Seyè a pandan tout lavi nou.
21 Then said Isaiah, Take a lumpe of drye figs and lay it vpon the boyle, and he shall recouer.
Ezayi mande pou yo fè yon kataplas ak fig frans mete sou kote wa a malad la, pou li ka geri.
22 Also Hezekiah had said, What is ye signe, that I shall goe vp into the House of the Lord?
Lè sa a, wa Ezekyas mande: -Kisa k'ap fè m' konnen m'a ka al nan tanp lan ankò?
