¹In those days hath Hezekiah been sick unto death, and come in unto him doth Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, and saith unto him, `Thus said Jehovah: Give a charge to thy house, for thou [art] dying, and dost not live.`

¹[Ny nahararian'i Hezekia, sy ny nanalavan'Andriamanitra ny androny, ary ny fiderana nataony amin'izany] 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.

²And Hezekiah turneth round his face unto the wall, and prayeth unto Jehovah,

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

³and saith, `I pray thee, O Jehovah, remember, I pray Thee, how I have walked habitually before Thee in truth, and with a perfect heart, and that which [is] good in thine eyes I have done;` and Hezekiah weepeth — a great weeping.

³hoe: 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.

⁴And a word of Jehovah is unto Isaiah, saying,

⁴Dia tonga tamin'Isaia ny tenin'i Jehovah nanao hoe:

⁵Go, and thou hast said to Hezekiah, Thus said Jehovah, God of David thy father, `I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tear, lo, I am adding to thy days fifteen years,

⁵Mandehana, 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,

⁶and out of the hand of the king of Asshur I deliver thee and this city, and have covered over this city.

⁶sady hamonjy anao sy ity tanàna ity amin'ny tanan'ny mpanjakan'i Asyria Aho; ary hiaro ity tanàna ity Aho.

⁷And this [is] to thee the sign from Jehovah, that Jehovah doth this thing that He hath spoken.

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

⁸Lo, I am bringing back the shadow of the degrees that it hath gone down on the degrees of Ahaz, by the sun, backward ten degrees:` and the sun turneth back ten degrees in the degrees that it had gone down.

⁸Indro, 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. [Heb. ambaratonga]

⁹A writing of Hezekiah king of Judah concerning his being sick, when he reviveth from his sickness:

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

¹⁰`I — I said in the cutting off of my days, I go in to the gates of Sheol, I have numbered the remnant of mine years.

¹⁰Hoy izaho: Amin'izao andro mbola iadanako izao no tsy maintsy idirako amin'ny vavahadin'ny fiainan-tsi-hita; nesorina tamiko ny androko sisa. [Heb. Sheola]

¹¹I said, I do not see Jah — Jah! In the land of the living, I do not behold man any more, With the inhabitants of the world.

¹¹Hoy 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. [Heb. Sheola]

¹²My sojourning hath departed, And been removed from me as a shepherd`s tent, I have drawn together, as a weaver, my life, By weakness it cutteth me off, From day unto night Thou dost end me.

¹²Ny 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.

¹³I have set [Him] till morning as a lion, So doth He break all my bones, From day unto night Thou dost end me.

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

¹⁴As a crane — a swallow — so I chatter, I mourn as a dove, Drawn up have been mine eyes on high, O Jehovah, oppression [is] on me, be my surety.

¹⁴Ka 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.

¹⁵— What do I say? seeing He said to me, And He Himself hath wrought, I go softly all my years for the bitterness of my soul.

¹⁵Ahoana no holazaiko? Sady nilaza tamiko Izy no nahatanteraka koa; Handeha mijoretra aho amin'ny taonako sisa rehetra noho ny fangidian'ny aiko. [Na: rehefa afaka]

¹⁶Lord, by these do [men] live, And by all in them [is] the life of my spirit, And Thou savest me, make me also to live,

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

¹⁷Lo, to peace He changed for me bitterness, And Thou hast delighted in my soul without corruption, For Thou hast cast behind Thy back all my sins.

¹⁷Indro, 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.

¹⁸For Sheol doth not confess Thee, Death doth not praise Thee, Those going down to the pit hope not for Thy truth.

¹⁸Fa ny fiainan-tsi-hita tsy mba mahasaotra Anao, ny fahafatesana tsy mahadera Anao; Fa izay midina any an-davaka dia tsy mahazo manantena ny fahamarinanao. [Heb. Sheola]

¹⁹The living, the living, he doth confess Thee.

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

²⁰Like myself to-day — a father to sons Doth make known of Thy faithfulness, O Jehovah — to save me: And my songs we sing all days of our lives In the house of Jehovah.`

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

²¹And Isaiah saith, `Let them take a bunch of figs, and plaster over the ulcer, and he liveth.`

²¹Ary hoy Isaia: Makà ampempan'aviavy, ary apetaho amin'ny vay izany, mba ho sitrana izy.Ary hoy Hezekia: Inona no famantarana fa hiakatra ao an-tranon'i Jehovah aho?

²²And Hezekiah saith, `What [is] the sign that I go up to the house of Jehovah!`

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