Isaiah 38

In 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.
I aua ra ka turoro a Hetekia, me kahore ka marere. Na ka haere a Ihaia poropiti, tama a Amoho ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Whakahaua iho tou whare, no te mea ka mate koe, e kore e ora.
Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD,
Na ka tahuri te mata o Hetekia ki te pakitara, a ka inoi ki a Ihowa,
And 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.
Ka mea, Tena ra, e Ihowa kia mahara ki oku haereerenga i tou aroaro i runga i te pono, i te ngakau tapatahi, ki taku meatanga i te pai ki tau titiro. Na tangi ana a Hetekia; nui atu te tangi.
Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying,
Na ka puta te kupu a Ihowa ki a Ihaia, ka mea,
Go, 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.
Haere, mea atu ki a Hetekia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Rawiri, o tou tupuna, Kua rangona tau inoi e ahau, kua kitea e ahau ou roimata: nana, ka tapiritia e ahau ou ra ki nga tau kotahi tekau ma rima.
And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city.
Ka whakaorangia koe me tenei pa e ahau i te ringa o te kingi o Ahiria; ka tiakina ano e ahau tenei pa;
And this shall be a sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken;
Ko te tohu ano tenei a Ihowa ki a koe, ka oti i a Ihowa tenei mea i korerotia nei e ia.
Behold, 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.
Nana, ka whakahokia ake e ahau te atarangi i nga nekehanga i heke atu ai i runga i te whakaatu haora a Ahata; kia tekau nga nekehanga whakamuri. Na kotahi tekau nga nekehanga i hoki ake ai te ra, no nga nekehanga ano i heke iho ai.
The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness:
Ko te tuhituhi a Hetekia kingi o Hura, i a ia i mate ra, a ora ake ana i tona mate.
I 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.
I mea ahau, I te poutumarotanga o oku ra, tera ahau e tomo ki nga kuwaha o te reinga: kua tangohia atu i ahau te toenga o oku tau.
I 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.
I ki ahau, e kore ahau e kite i a Ihowa, ara i a Ihowa i runga i te whenua o te hunga ora; heoi ano aku tirohanga ki te tangata, ki te hunga e noho ana i te ao.
Mine 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.
Ko te wa i ahau nei kua riro, mauria atu ana i ahau, ano he teneti no te hepara; kei ta te kaiwhatu kakahu taku kopaki i toku ora; ka tapahia mai ahau e ia i roto i nga miro: i te ao, i te po, mutu pu taku i a koe.
I 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.
I whakamarie ahau i ahau a taea noatia te ata; tera tana e rite ki ta te raiona, ka wawahia e ia oku iwi katoa; i te ao, i te po, mutu pu taku i a koe.
Like 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.
I koroki ahau, pera i ta te warou, i ta te kareni; i tangi ahau me te kukupa; matawaia ana oku kanohi i te tirohanga whakarunga. E Ihowa, e tukinotia ana ahau, pikitia toku turanga.
What 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.
Kia pehea he kupu maku? Nana i korero ki ahau, nana ano i mahi; i oku tau katoa ka ata haere ahau i runga i te kawa o toku wairua.
O 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.
E te Ariki, kei enei mea te ora o te tangata, kei enei mea katoa ano te ora o toku wairua: mo reira whakahokia ake ahau e koe ki te ora, kia ora ai ahau.
Behold, 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.
Nana, he mea kia rangimarie ai ahau i pa ai te pouri kino ki ahau: otiia he aroha nou ki toku wairua i ora ai ahau i roto i te rua o te ngaromanga: kua oti nei hoki oku hara katoa te maka e koe ki muri i tou tuara.
For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.
E kore hoki e taea e te reinga te whakawhetai ki a koe, e kore te mate e ahei te whakamoemiti ki a koe; ko te hunga e heke ana ki te rua kahore o ratou tumanako ki tou pono.
The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.
Ko te tangata ora, ko te tangata ora, mana te whakawhetai ki a koe, te penei me taku nei i tenei ra: tera tou pono ka whakakitea e te matua ki nga tamariki.
The 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.
I tata mai a Ihowa ki te whakaora i ahau, mo reira ka waiatatia e matou aku waiata i runga i nga aho whakatangi i nga ra katoa e ora ai matou i roto i te whare o Ihowa.
For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaister upon the boil, and he shall recover.
I ki hoki a Ihaia, Tikina he papa piki, whakapiritia ki te whewhe, a ka ora ia.
Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD?
I ki ano a Hetekia, He aha te tohu tera ahau ka haere ki runga ki te whare o Ihowa?
