Isaiah 38

1 In those days Hezekiah fell sick unto death; and there came unto him Isaiah the son of Amoz, the prophet, and said unto him, Thus hath said the Lord, Give thy charge to thy house; for thou shalt die, and not live.

I aua ra ka turoro a Hetekia, me kahore ka marere. Na ka haere a Ihaia poropiti, tama a Amoho ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Whakahaua iho tou whare, no te mea ka mate koe, e kore e ora.

2 Then did Hezekiah turn his face to the wall, and prayed unto the Lord.

Na ka tahuri te mata o Hetekia ki te pakitara, a ka inoi ki a Ihowa,

3 And he said, O Lord, I beseech thee remember now that I have walked before thee in truth, and with an undivided heart, and have done what is good in thy eyes. And Hezekiah wept aloud.

Ka mea, Tena ra, e Ihowa kia mahara ki oku haereerenga i tou aroaro i runga i te pono, i te ngakau tapatahi, ki taku meatanga i te pai ki tau titiro. Na tangi ana a Hetekia; nui atu te tangi.

4 Then came the word of the Lord to Isaiah, saying,

Na ka puta te kupu a Ihowa ki a Ihaia, ka mea,

5 Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus hath said the Lord, 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.

Haere, mea atu ki a Hetekia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Rawiri, o tou tupuna, Kua rangona tau inoi e ahau, kua kitea e ahau ou roimata: nana, ka tapiritia e ahau ou ra ki nga tau kotahi tekau ma rima.

6 And out of the hand of the king of Assyria will I deliver thee and this city; and I will shield this city.

Ka whakaorangia koe me tenei pa e ahau i te ringa o te kingi o Ahiria; ka tiakina ano e ahau tenei pa;

7 And this shall be unto thee the sign from the Lord, that the Lord will do this thing which he hath spoken:

Ko te tohu ano tenei a Ihowa ki a koe, ka oti i a Ihowa tenei mea i korerotia nei e ia.

8 Behold, I will cause the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down on the dial of Achaz by the sun, to return backward ten degrees. So the sun returned ten degrees, by the degrees which he was gone down.

Nana, ka whakahokia ake e ahau te atarangi i nga nekehanga i heke atu ai i runga i te whakaatu haora a Ahata; kia tekau nga nekehanga whakamuri. Na kotahi tekau nga nekehanga i hoki ake ai te ra, no nga nekehanga ano i heke iho ai.

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

Ko te tuhituhi a Hetekia kingi o Hura, i a ia i mate ra, a ora ake ana i tona mate.

10 I had said, In the midst of my days, must I enter the gates of the nether world; I am deprived of the residue of my years. (Sheol h7585)

I mea ahau, I te poutumarotanga o oku ra, tera ahau e tomo ki nga kuwaha o te reinga: kua tangohia atu i ahau te toenga o oku tau. (Sheol h7585)

11 I had said, I shall not see the Lord, the Lord, in the land of the living: I shall not behold man any more among the inhabitants of the regions of death.

I ki ahau, e kore ahau e kite i a Ihowa, ara i a Ihowa i runga i te whenua o te hunga ora; heoi ano aku tirohanga ki te tangata, ki te hunga e noho ana i te ao.

12 My dwelling is broken down, and is removed from me as a shepherd's tent: I have cut off, like a weaver, my life; with pining sickness will he snatch me away: from day until night wilt thou make an end of me.

Ko te wa i ahau nei kua riro, mauria atu ana i ahau, ano he teneti no te hepara; kei ta te kaiwhatu kakahu taku kopaki i toku ora; ka tapahia mai ahau e ia i roto i nga miro: i te ao, i te po, mutu pu taku i a koe.

13 I waited [with patience] till morning, [whether] as a lion, so would he break all my bones: from day until night wilt thou make an end of me.

I whakamarie ahau i ahau a taea noatia te ata; tera tana e rite ki ta te raiona, ka wawahia e ia oku iwi katoa; i te ao, i te po, mutu pu taku i a koe.

14 Like a swallow or a crane, so did I chirp; I did moan like a dove; my eyes were lifted up on high: O Lord, I am oppressed; grant me ease.

I koroki ahau, pera i ta te warou, i ta te kareni; i tangi ahau me te kukupa; matawaia ana oku kanohi i te tirohanga whakarunga. E Ihowa, e tukinotia ana ahau, pikitia toku turanga.

15 What shall I speak? he hath promised it unto me, and he hath also accomplished it; I will make pilgrimages [to God's house] all my years because of the bitterness of my soul.

Kia pehea he kupu maku? Nana i korero ki ahau, nana ano i mahi; i oku tau katoa ka ata haere ahau i runga i te kawa o toku wairua.

16 O Lord, by these [things men] will live, and in all these [things] is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou give me health, and cause me to live.

E te Ariki, kei enei mea te ora o te tangata, kei enei mea katoa ano te ora o toku wairua: mo reira whakahokia ake ahau e koe ki te ora, kia ora ai ahau.

17 Behold, for peace I had great bitterness; but thou hast, in loving my soul, delivered it from the pit of corruption; for thou hast cast behind thy back all my sins.

Nana, he mea kia rangimarie ai ahau i pa ai te pouri kino ki ahau: otiia he aroha nou ki toku wairua i ora ai ahau i roto i te rua o te ngaromanga: kua oti nei hoki oku hara katoa te maka e koe ki muri i tou tuara.

18 For the nether world will not thank thee, death will not praise thee: they that go down into the pit will not hope for thy truth. (Sheol h7585)

E kore hoki e taea e te reinga te whakawhetai ki a koe, e kore te mate e ahei te whakamoemiti ki a koe; ko te hunga e heke ana ki te rua kahore o ratou tumanako ki tou pono. (Sheol h7585)

19 The living, the living alone shall thank thee, like me this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.

Ko te tangata ora, ko te tangata ora, mana te whakawhetai ki a koe, te penei me taku nei i tenei ra: tera tou pono ka whakakitea e te matua ki nga tamariki.

20 The Lord is there to help me; therefore we will play my hymns all the days of our life in the house of the Lord.

I tata mai a Ihowa ki te whakaora i ahau, mo reira ka waiatatia e matou aku waiata i runga i nga aho whakatangi i nga ra katoa e ora ai matou i roto i te whare o Ihowa.

21 And Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaster upon the inflammation, and he shall recover.

I ki hoki a Ihaia, Tikina he papa piki, whakapiritia ki te whewhe, a ka ora ia.

22 And Hezekiah had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the Lord?

I ki ano a Hetekia, He aha te tohu tera ahau ka haere ki runga ki te whare o Ihowa?
