1 ¶ 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.

2 T hen 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,

3 A nd 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.

4 T hen came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying,

Na ka puta te kupu a Ihowa ki a Ihaia, ka mea,

5 G o 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.

6 A nd 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;

7 A nd this shall be a sign unto thee from the LORD that the LORD will do this thing that he has spoken:

Ko te tohu ano tenei a Ihowa ki a koe, ka oti i a Ihowa tenei mea i korerotia nei e ia.

8 B ehold, 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.

9 ¶ 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.

10 I said in the cutting off of my days; I shall go to the gates of Sheol: 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.

11 I said, I shall not see JAH, even JAH, 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.

12 M y dwelling place has been moved and is removed from me as a shepherd’s tent; he has cut off my life like a weaver: he has cut me off with sickness: between the day and the night thou shalt consume 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.

13 I reckoned that I had until morning. As a lion, he broke all my bones: from the morning even unto the night thou shalt 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.

14 L ike a crane or a swallow, so did I complain; I mourned as a dove; I raised my eyes upward, O LORD, I am suffering violence; comfort 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.

15 W hat shall I say? He has both spoken unto me, and he himself has done it; I shall walk 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.

16 O Lord, even unto all those that shall live, in these fifteen years I shall proclaim the life of my spirit in them and how thou caused me to sleep, and afterwards hast given me life.

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.

17 B ehold, for peace I had great bitterness; but it has pleased thee to deliver my life 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.

18 F or the grave shall not confess thee, nor shall death praise thee; nor shall those that go down into the pit wait 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.

19 H e who lives, he who lives, even he shall confess thee, as I do this day; the father to the sons 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.

20 T he LORD is ready to save me: therefore we will sing our psalms in the house of the LORD all the days of our life.

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.

21 I saiah then said, Let them take a lump of figs and lay it for a plaster upon the boil and he shall be healed.

I ki hoki a Ihaia, Tikina he papa piki, whakapiritia ki te whewhe, a ka ora ia.

22 A nd Hezekiah 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?
