Isaia 38
1 I A mau la, he mai make ko Hezekia; a hele mai la o Isaia, ke kaula, ke keiki a Amosa io na la, i mai la ia ia, Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, E kauoha oe i ko kou hale, no ka mea, e make ana oe, aole oe e ola.
In those days Hezekiah was sick to the point of dying. So Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, came to him, and said to him, “Yahweh says, 'Set your house in order; for you will die, not live.'”
2 Alaila, huli ae la o Hezekia i kona maka ma ka paia, a pule aku la ia Iehova,
Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to Yahweh.
3 I aku la ia, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e Iehova, ano la e hoomanao oe i ko'u hele ana imua ou ma ka oiaio, me ka naau pono, a ua hana i ka maikai ma kou alo. A uwe iho la o Hezekia, he uwe nui loa.
He said, “Please, Yahweh, call to mind how I have faithfully walked before you with my whole heart, and how I have done what was good in your sight.” Then Hezekiah wept loudly.
4 Alaila, hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova io lsaia la, i mai la,
Then the word of Yahweh came to Isaiah, saying,
5 O hele, e olelo aku ia Hezekia, Ke i mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o Davida, kou kupuna, penei, Ua lohe au i kau pule, a ua ike no wau i kou waimaka; aia hoi, e hooloihi aku au i kou mau la, i umikumamalima makahiki.
“Go and say to Hezekiah, the leader of my people, 'This is what Yahweh, the God of David your ancestor, says: I have heard your prayer, and I have seen your tears. See, I am about to add fifteen years to your life.
6 A e hoopakele no wau ia oe, a me keia kulanakauhale mai ka lima aku o ke alii o Asuria, a na'u no e malama i keia kulanakauhale.
Then I will rescue you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.
7 Eia hoi ka hoailona nou, mai Iehova mai, e hana io mai no o Iehova i ka mea ana i olelo mai ai;
This will be the sign to you from Yahweh, that I will do what I have promised.
8 Aia hoi, e hoihoi ihope no au i ke aka o na degere ana i iho ai ma ka mea ana hora o Ahaza, he umi degere ka hoi hope ana. A hoi hope io no ka la i umi degere, o na degere hoi ana i iho ai ilalo.
Look, I will cause the shadow on the stairs of Ahaz to go back ten steps.'” So the shadow went back ten steps of the stairs on which it had advanced.
9 Ke mele a Hezekia ke alii o ka Iuda, mahope iho o kona mai ana, a ua ola hoi i kona mai.
This was the written prayer of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick and then recovered:
10 Olelo iho la au, E komo ana au i na puka o ka malumake, Mawaena konu o ko'u mau la; Ua hooneleia mai au i ke koena o ko'u mau makahiki. (Sheol h7585)
“I said that halfway through my life I will go through the gates of Sheol; I am sent there for the rest of my years. (Sheol h7585)
11 I iho la au, aole au e ike aku ia Iehova, Ia Iehova hoi, ma ka aina o ka poe e ola ana; Aole au e ike hou i ke kanaka mawaena o ka poe e noho la ma ka malumake.
I said that I will no longer see Yahweh, Yahweh in the land of the living; I will no longer look on mankind or the inhabitants of the world.
12 Ua laweia ko'u wahi noho, Ua kaikaiia'ku la, mai o'u aku nei, e like me ka halelewa o ke kahuhipa, Ua hooki au i ko'u ola ana, e like me ka mea ulana lole, Ua oki mai oia ia'u mai ka omau ana; Mai ke ao a po, e hooki mai ana oe ia'u.
My life is removed and carried away from me like a shepherd's tent; I have rolled up my life like a weaver; you are cutting me off from the loom; between day and night you are ending my life.
13 Hoomaha ino la au a kakahiaka, E like me ka liona, pela no oia i uhaki ai i ko'u mau iwi a pau; Mai ke ao a po, e hooki mai ana no oe ia'u.
I cried out until the morning; like a lion he breaks all my bones. Between day and night you are ending my life.
14 E like me ka manu u, a me ka manu ioio, Pela no wau i ioio ai. Kaniuhu no wau e like me ka manu nunu; Maule hoi ko'u mau maka i ka nana ana iluna; E ka Haku, ua pilikia au, e kokua mai oe ia'u.
Like a swallow I chirp; I coo like a dove; my eyes grow tired with looking upward. Lord, I am oppressed; help me.
15 Heaha ka'u e olelo aku ai? No ka mea, ua olelo mai oia ia'u, a ua hana io mai no oia: E hele malie no wau i ko'u mau makahiki a pau, No ke kaumaha loa o kuu uhane.
What shall I say? He has both spoken to me, and has done it; I will walk slowly all my years because I am overcome with grief.
16 E ka Haku, no keia mau mea i ola'i na kanaka, Maloko o ka popilikia a pau, ua ola no kuu uhane; Ua hoopau oe i ko'u mai, ua hoola mai oe ia'u
Lord, the sufferings you send are good for me; may my life be given back to me; you have restored my life and health.
17 Aia hoi, ua hoololi mai oia i ko'u kaumaha loa i oluolu, Aloha mai no oe, a hoopakele mai ia'u, mai ka lua mai o ka make; No ka mea, ua kiola aku oe i ko'u hewa a pau mahope o kou kua.
It was for my benefit that I experienced such grief. You have rescued me from the pit of destruction; for you have thrown all my sins behind your back.
18 Aole hiki i ko ka po ke hoomaikai aku ia oe, Aole hoi e hoolea aku ka poe make ia oe; O ka poe iho ilalo i ka lua, Aole hiki ia lakou ke manaolana. (Sheol h7585)
For Sheol does not thank you; death does not praise you; those who go down into the pit do not hope in your trustworthiness. (Sheol h7585)
19 O ka mea ola, ka mea ola, Nana no e hoomaikai aku ia oe, me au nei i keia la; E hoike no ka makua i na keiki i kou oiaio.
The living person, the living person, he is the one who gives you thanks, as I do this day; a father makes known to children your trustworthiness.
20 Malaila no o Iehova, e hoola mai ai ia'u, Nolaila kakou e hookanikani ai i ko'u mau viola, I na la a pau o ko kakou ola ana, maloko o ka hale o Iehova.
Yahweh is about to save me, and we will celebrate with music all the days of our lives in the house of Yahweh.”
21 No ka mea, ua olelo no o Isaia, e lawe lakou i pai fiku maloo, a e kau maluna o ka eha, a e ola no ia.
Now Isaiah had said, “Let them take a lump of figs and put it on the boil, and he will recover.”
22 Ua ninau no hoi o Hezekia, Heaha ka hoailona e maopopo ai ko'u pii ana i ka hale o Iehova?
Hezekiah also had said, “What will be the sign that I should go up to the house of Yahweh?”
