Isaia 38

1 Ary tamin’ izany andro izany dia narary saiky maty Hezekia; ary Isaia mpaminany zanak’ i Amoza, nankao aminy ka nilaza taminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Hafaro ny ankohonanao, fa ho faty ianao, fa tsy ho velona.

In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Set thy house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.

2 Dia nitodika nankany amin’ ny rindrina Hezekia ka nivavaka tamin’ i Jehovah

Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto Jehovah,

3 hoe: Jehovah ô, enga anie ka hotsarovanao ny nandehanako teo anatrehanao tamin’ ny fahamarinana sy tamin’ ny foko rehetra ary ny nanaovako izay tsara eo imasonao Dia nitomany mafy dia mafy izy.

and said, Remember now, O Jehovah, 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 Dia tonga tamin’ Isaia ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:

Then came the word of Jehovah to Isaiah, saying,

5 Mandehana, ka lazao amin’ i Hezekia hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitr’ i Davida rainao: Efa nohenoiko ny fitarainanao, ary efa hitako ny ranomasonao; indro, hampiako dimy ambin’ ny folo taona ny andronao,

Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith Jehovah, 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 sady hamonjy anao sy ity tanàna ity amin’ ny tanan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria Aho; ary hiaro ity tanàna ity Aho.

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

7 Ary izao no ho famantarana ho anao avy amin’ i Jehovah, hahalalanao fa Jehovah hanao izay zavatra nolazainy:

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

8 Indro, hampiverina ny aloka hàdiny folo Aho araka ny nampidinan’ ny masoandro azy teo amin’ ny dialin’ i Ahaza. Ka dia niverina hàdiny folo ny masoandro, dia ilay efa nidinany.

behold, I will cause the shadow on the steps, which is gone down on the dial of Ahaz with the sun, to return backward ten steps. So the sun returned ten steps on the dial whereon it was gone down.

9 Ny teny nosoratan’ i Hezekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, raha narary izy ka sitrana tamin’ ny aretiny:

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

10 Hoy izaho: Amin’ izao andro mbola iadanako izao no tsy maintsy idirako amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita; nesorina tamiko ny androko sisa. (Sheol h7585)

I said, In the noontide of my days I shall go into the gates of Sheol: I am deprived of the residue of my years. (Sheol h7585)

11 Hoy izaho: Tsy mba hahita an’ i Jehovah intsony aho. Eny, tsy mba hahita an’ i Jehovah ao amin’ ny velona intsony aho; Tsy mba hahita olona intsony aho, fa ho isan’ ny mponina any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita.

I said, I shall not see Jehovah, [even] Jehovah in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world.

12 Ny fonenako nesorina ka nafindra tsy ho amiko, tahaka ny lain’ ny mpiandry ondry; Ahoroko tahaka ny tenona ny androko, fa efa hotapahiny ho afaka amin’ ny haraka izy; Indray andro monja no anaperanao ny aiko.

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

13 Nampionona ny foko aho mandra-pahamarain’ ny andro; Tahaka ny fanapatapaky ny liona no anapatapahany ny taolako rehetra; Indray andro monja no anaperanao ny aiko.

I quieted [myself] until morning; as a lion, so he breaketh all my bones: From day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.

14 Ka dia mikoraraika tahaka ny sidintsidina sy ny vano aho. Ary mitolokoloko tahaka ny voromailala. Pahina ny masoko noho ny faniriako ho any amin’ ny avo; Jehovah ô, ory loatra aho, aoka hiantoka ahy Hianao.

Like a swallow [or] a crane, so did I chatter; I did moan as a dove; mine eyes fail [with looking] upward: O Lord, I am oppressed, be thou my surety.

15 Ahoana no holazaiko? Sady nilaza tamiko Izy no nahatanteraka koa; Handeha mijoretra aho amin’ ny taonako sisa rehetra noho ny fangidian’ ny aiko.

What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done it: I shall go softly all my years because of the bitterness of my soul.

16 Tompo ô, izany no iveloman’ ny olona, ary amin’ izany tokoa no iainan’ ny fanahiko, ka dia mahasitrana sy mahavelona ahy Hianao.

O Lord, by these things men live; And wholly therein is the life of my spirit: Wherefore recover thou me, and make me to live.

17 Indro, tonga fiadanana ilay fahoriana mangidy dia mangidy nanjo ahy, ary ny fitiavanao no namonjenao ny fanahiko tsy hankany amin’ ny lavaka fahalevonana; Fa narianao teo ivohonao ny fahotako rehetra.

Behold, [it was] for [my] peace [that] 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 Fa ny fiainan-tsi-hita tsy mba mahasaotra Anao, ny fahafatesana tsy mahadera Anao; Fa izay midìna any an-davaka dia tsy mahazo manantena ny fahamarinanao. (Sheol h7585)

For Sheol cannot praise thee, death cannot celebrate thee: They that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. (Sheol h7585)

19 Ny velona dia ny velona ihany no hidera Anao, tahaka izao izaho anio izao; Ny ray hampahalala ny zanany ny fahamarinanao.

The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: The father to the children shall make known thy truth.

20 Jehovah efa vonona hamonjy Ahy, Ka dia hitendry ny lokangako ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah izahay Amin’ ny andro rehetra iainanay.

Jehovah is [ready] to save me: Therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments All the days of our life in the house of Jehovah.

21 Ary hoy Isaia: Makà ampempan’ aviavy, ary apetaho amin’ ny vay izany, mba ho sitrana izy.

Now Isaiah had said, Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it for a plaster upon the boil, and he shall recover.

22 Ary hoy Hezekia: Inona no famantarana fa hiakatra ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah aho?

Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of Jehovah?
