1Zvino namazuva iwayo Hezekia akarwara, akasvikira pakufa. Muporofita Isaya mwanakomana waAmozi akasvika kwaari, akati kwaari, Zvanzi naJehovha, Chirayira nhaka yako, nekuti uchafa, haungararami.
1In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.
2Ipapo Hezekia akatendeukira kumadziro, akanyengetera kuna Jehovha,
2Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD,
3akati, Dorangarirai henyu, Jehovha, kuti ndakafamba pamberi penyu nechokwadi nomoyo wose, ndikaita zvakanaka pamberi penyu. Hezekia akachema kwazvo.
3And said, Remember now, O LORD, 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.
4Ipapo shoko raJehovha rakasvika kuna Isaya, richiti,
4Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying,
5Enda undoti kuna Hezekia, zvanzi naJehovha, Mwari wababa vako Dhavhidhi, Ndanzwa kunyengetera kwako, ndaona misodzi yako; tarira, ndichawedzera pamazuva ako makore ane gumi namashanu.
5Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith 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.
6Ndichakurwira iwe neguta rino paruoko rwamambo weAsiria; uye ndichadzivirira guta rino.
6And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city.
7Hechi chiratidzo chaJehovha kwauri, kuti Jehovha achaita chinhu ichi chaakataura.
7And this shall be a sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken;
8Tarira, ndichadzosa mumvuri pamitaro, yakanga yakadzira nezuva pachikati chaAhazi, udzoke mitaro ine gumi. Naizvozvo zuva rakadzoka mitaro ine gumi pachikati chaAhazi, pawakanga wadzikira.
8Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down.
9Horwu runyoro rwaHezekia mambo waJudha, panguva yaakanga arwara, akaporazve pakurwara kwake.
9The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness:
10Ndakati, ndichapinda pamasuwo eSheori achiri masikati pamazuva angu; Ndatorerwa makore angu akanga asara.
10I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the residue of my years.
11Ndakati, handichazooni Jehovha, iye Jehovha, panyika yavapenyu; Handichazooni vanhu pamwechete navagere panyika.
11I said, I shall not see the LORD, even the LORD, in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world.
12Ugaro hwangu hwaputswa, hwabviswa kwandiri setende romufudzi; Ndapeta upenyu hwangu, somuruki, uchandigura pachirukiso; Muchandigumisa kubvira mangwanani kusvikira madekwana.
12Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd's tent: I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with pining sickness: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.
13Ndakachema kusvikira kwaedza; unovhuna mafupa angu ose seshumba; Muchandigumisa kubvira mangwanani kusvikira madekwana.
13I reckoned till morning, that, as a lion, so will he break all my bones: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.
14Ndakarira senyenganyenga kana kondo; Ndakachema senjiva; meso angu akapera nokutarira kumusoro; Haiwa Jehovha, ndakamanikidzwa, ivai mumiririri wangu imi.
14Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail with looking upward: O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me.
15Ndingatiiko? Ndiye akataura neni, ndiye akazviita; Ndichanyasa kufamba makore angu ose, nokuda kokurwadziwa komoyo wangu.
15What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done it: I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul.
16Ishe, vanhu vanorarama nezvinhu izvozvi; Upenyu hwose hwomweya wangu huri mazviri; Naizvozvo ndiporesei, mundiraramise.
16O LORD, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live.
17Tarirai, kutambudzika kwangu kukuru kwakazondivigira rugare; Asi makarwira mweya wangu norudo pagomba rokuparadzwa; nekuti makarasira zvivi zvangu zvose shure kwenyu.
17Behold, for peace 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.
18nekuti Sheori harigoni kukuvongai, rufu harugoni kukurumbidzai; Vanoburukira kugomba havangagoni kutarira zvokwadi yenyu.
18For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.
19Mupenyu, mupenyu, ndiye uchakuvongai, sezvandinoita nhasi; baba vachazivisa vana vavo zvokwadi yenyu.
19The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.
20Jehovha akazvigadzirira kundiponesa; Naizvozvo tichaimba nziyo dzangu nemitengeramwa Mazuva ose oupenyu bwedu mumba maJehovha.
20The LORD was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD.
21Zvino Isaya akanga ati, Ngavatore bundu, ramawonde varinamire pamota, ipapo achapora.
21For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaister upon the boil, and he shall recover.
22Hezekiawo akanga ati, Chiratidzo ndechipi kuti ndichakwira kuimba yaJehovha?
22Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD?
