Ishacyaah 38

1 Oo waagaas ayaa Xisqiyaah bukooday, oo geeri buu u dhowaaday. Markaasaa Nebi Ishacyaah ina Aamoos u yimid, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Reerkaaga la dardaaran, waayo, waad dhimanaysaa oo sii noolaan maysid.

About this time Hezekiah fell very sick and was about to die. The prophet Isaiah, son of Amoz, went to him and said, “This is what the Lord says: Put your affairs in order, because you are going to die. You won't recover.”

2 Markaasaa Xisqiyaah wejigiisii derbiga ku sii jeediyey, oo Rabbiga baryay oo yidhi,

When Hezekiah heard this, he went to pray privately to the Lord, saying

3 Rabbiyow, waan ku baryayaaye, bal haatan xusuuso sidaan hortaada ugu socday runta iyo qalbi qumman, iyo sidaan u sameeyey waxa hortaada ku wanaagsan. Xisqiyaahna aad buu u ooyay.

“Please remember Lord how I have followed you faithfully with all my heart. I have done what is good in your sight.” Then Hezekiah cried and cried.

4 Markaasaa eraygii Rabbigu u yimid Nebi Ishacyaah oo ku yidhi,

Then the Lord sent a message to Isaiah, saying,

5 Tag, oo waxaad Xisqiyaah ku tidhaahdaa, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha awowgaa Daa'uud wuxuu leeyahay, Baryootankaagii waan maqlay, ilmadaadiina waan arkay, haddaba cimrigaagiina waxaan kuugu dari doonaa shan iyo toban sannadood.

“Go and tell Hezekiah, This is what the Lord, the God of your forefather David, says: I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears. I will add fifteen years to your life.

6 Oo adiga iyo magaaladanba waan ka samatabbixin doonaa gacanta boqorka Ashuur, oo magaaladanna waan daafici doonaa.

I will save you and this city from the king of Assyria. I will defend this city.

7 Oo haddaba calaamadda xagga Rabbiga kaaga imanaysa in Rabbigu samaynayo wixii uu Rabbigu ballanqaaday waxay ahaan doontaa tan:

This is the sign from the Lord to you that the Lord will do what he promised:

8 bal eeg, waxaan dib u soo celin doonaa hooska derejooyinka, intuu hore uga socday toban derejo oo ah derejooyinkii Aaxaas. Sidaasay qorraxdu dib ugu soo noqotay toban derejo oo ay hore u dhaaftay.

Look, I will make the shadow made by the sun go back the ten steps that it has gone down on the stairway of Ahaz. So the sun went back the ten steps that it had gone down on the stairway of Ahaz.”

9 Kanu waa qorniinkii Xisqiyaah oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Yahuudah, oo uu qoray markuu bukay, oo uu haddana cudurkiisii ka bogsaday.

This is what Hezekiah, king of Judah, wrote after he recovered from his sickness:

10 Anigu waxaan is-idhi, Cimrigayga oo badh ah ayaan irdihii She'ool sii mari doonaa, Oo intii cimrigayga ka hadhayna waa layga qaaday. (Sheol h7585)

I said to myself, “Do I have to go to my death just as my life is going well? Why can't I count on the rest of my years?” (Sheol h7585)

11 Waxaan is-idhi, Ma aan arki doono Rabbiga, kaasoo ah Rabbiga dalka kuwa nool jooga, Mar dambena ma arki doono qof ka mid ah dadka dunida deggan.

I said, “I will never again see the Lord, the Lord, in the land of the living. I won't see anyone else again, none of the inhabitants of this world.

12 Rugtaydii waa layga fogeeyey, oo sidii adhijir teendhadiis ayaa la iiga qaaday. Sida dharsameeye ayaan noloshaydii u duudduubay, oo wuxuu iga gooynayaa alaabtiisa uu dharka ku sameeyo, Oo maalin ilaa habeenba waad i sii dhammaystiraysaa.

Like a shepherd's tent, the place where I live has been pulled up and taken away from me. Like a weaver I have rolled up the cloth of my life and cut it from the loom. Day and night you bring me to an end.

13 Oo tan iyo aroortii ayaan fikirayay, isagu lafahayga oo dhan ayuu u jejebiyaa sida libaax oo kale, Oo maalin ilaa habeenba waad i sii dhammaystiraysaa.

I lie there patiently until the morning, but I feel like there's a lion breaking every bone in my body. Day and night you bring me to an end.

14 Sidii dabafallaadh iyo saratoosiye oo kale ayaan u dhawaaqay. Oo waxaan u baroortay sidii qoolley oo kale, oo indhahaygu daal bay la gudheen sidaan kor u fiirinayay, Rabbiyow, waa lay dulmay, ee i caawi.

I scream like a swift or a songbird, I moan like a dove. My eyes grow dim as I look heavenwards. I'm being attacked, Lord, please come and support me!

15 Haddaba bal maxaan idhaahdaa? Isagu wuu ila hadlay, oo weliba isaga qudhiisaa waxan sameeyey. Haddaba cimrigayga oo dhan tartiib baan u socon doonaa qadhaadhka naftayda aawadiis.

Yet what can I say? He told me what was going to happen, and he himself did it. I will walk quietly for the rest of my life because of the painful experience I went through.

16 Sayidow, dadku waxyaalahanuu ku nool yahay, Oo ruuxa noloshayduna wuxuu ku jiraa waxyaalahan oo dhan. Haddaba i bogsii, oo i noolaysii.

Lord, we live by what you say and do, and I find life in all of this. You have given me back my health and allowed me to live.

17 Bal eeg, nabadgelyadayda aawadeed ayaan qadhaadh weyn u qabay, Laakiinse naftayda waad jeclaatay, oo sidaas daraaddeed yamayskii qudhunka waad ka samatabbixisay, Waayo, dembiyadaydii oo dhan waxaad ku tuurtay gadaashaada.

It was definitely for my own good I went through this bitter experience. You in your love saved me from the pit of destruction and you have forgiven all my sins.

18 Waayo, She'ool kuguma mahadnaqi karo, oo dhimashaduna kuma ammaani karto, Oo kuwa yamayska hoos ugu dhacana runtaada rajo kama qabi karaan. (Sheol h7585)

Those in the grave cannot praise you, the dead cannot praise you. Those who go down into the pit can no longer hope in your faithfulness. (Sheol h7585)

19 Kan nool, kan nool oo keliya ayaa kugu mahadnaqi doona sidaan aniguba maanta yeelayo. Aabbuhu wuxuu runtaada ogeysiin doonaa carruurtiisa.

It's only the living who can praise you as I'm doing today. Parents explain to their children how you can be trusted.

20 Rabbigu waa u diyaar inuu i badbaadiyo, Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed annagu cimriga noloshayada oo dhan Waxaannu guriga Rabbiga ku dhex gabyi doonnaa gabayadayda annagoo alaab xadhko leh ku cayaarayna.

The Lord saved me! We will sing my songs with stringed instruments all the days of our lives in the Lord's Temple.”

21 Nebi Ishacyaah wuxuu yidhi, Ha la qaado fud berde ah, oo kasoobaxa ha la saaro, oo isna wuu bogsan doonaa.

Isaiah had said, “Prepare a dressing of figs and spread it on the skin sores so he may recover.”

22 Oo weliba Xisqiyaahna wuxuu yidhi, Maxaa calaamad ii ah inaan guriga Rabbiga u kici doono?

Hezekiah had asked, “What is the sign to confirm that I will go to the Lord's Temple?”
