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 to him, and said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Set thy house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.
2Ipapo Hezekia akatendeukira kumadziro, akanyengetera kuna Jehovha,
2Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto Jehovah,
3akati, Dorangarirai henyu, Jehovha, kuti ndakafamba pamberi penyu nechokwadi nomoyo wose, ndikaita zvakanaka pamberi penyu. Hezekia akachema kwazvo.
3and 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.
4Ipapo shoko raJehovha rakasvika kuna Isaya, richiti,
4Then came the word of Jehovah 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 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.
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 the sign unto thee from Jehovah, that Jehovah 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 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.
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 noontide of my days I shall go into the gates of Sheol: 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 Jehovah, [even] Jehovah 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.
12My 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.
13Ndakachema kusvikira kwaedza; unovhuna mafupa angu ose seshumba; Muchandigumisa kubvira mangwanani kusvikira madekwana.
13I 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.
14Ndakarira senyenganyenga kana kondo; Ndakachema senjiva; meso angu akapera nokutarira kumusoro; Haiwa Jehovha, ndakamanikidzwa, ivai mumiririri wangu imi.
14Like 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.
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 because of 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 wholly therein is the life of my spirit: Wherefore recover thou 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, [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.
18nekuti Sheori harigoni kukuvongai, rufu harugoni kukurumbidzai; Vanoburukira kugomba havangagoni kutarira zvokwadi yenyu.
18For Sheol cannot praise thee, death cannot 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.
20Jehovah 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.
21Zvino Isaya akanga ati, Ngavatore bundu, ramawonde varinamire pamota, ipapo achapora.
21Now Isaiah had said, Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it for a plaster 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 Jehovah?
