mwe nnali ŋŋenda okufiira nnyingire mu miryango gy’emagombe,

nga simazeeyo myaka gyange egisigaddeyo.”

1138:11 Zab 27:13; 116:9Ne ndyoka njogera nti,

“Sigenda kuddayo kulaba Mukama,

mu nsi y’abalamu.

Sikyaddamu kulaba bantu mu nsi abantu mwe babeera.

Ng’olugoye lwe babadde balanga ate ne balusala ku muti kwe babadde balulukira,

bwe ntyo bwe nawuliranga emisana n’ekiro nga obulamu bwange

obumalirawo ddala.

1338:13 a Zab 51:8 b Yob 10:16; Dan 6:24Ekiro kyonna nakaabanga olw’obulumi

nga ndi ng’empologoma gw’emmenyaamenya amagumba,

ekiro n’emisana nga ndowooza nga Mukama yali amalawo obulamu bwange.

amaaso gange ne ganfuyirira olw’okutunula mu bbanga eri eggulu.

Ne nkaaba nti, Ayi Mukama, nga nnyigirizibwa, nziruukirira.”

1538:15 a Zab 39:9 b 1Bk 21:27 c Yob 7:11Naye ate nga naagamba ki?

Yali ayogedde nange nga ye yennyini ye yali akikoze.

N’atambulanga n’obwegendereza mu bulumi buno

obw’obulamu bwange.

1638:16 Zab 119:25Ayi Mukama, olw’ebyo, abantu babeera abalamu,

era mu ebyo omwoyo gwange mwe gubeerera omulamu.

Omponye,

mbeere mulamu.

1738:17 a Zab 30:3 b Yer 31:34 c Is 43:25; Mi 7:19Ddala laba okulumwa ennyo bwe ntyo kyali ku lwa bulungi bwange,

naye ggwe owonyezza obulamu bwange okugwa mu bunnya obw’okuzikirira.

Kubanga otadde ebibi byange byonna

emabega wo.

1838:18 a Mub 9:10 b Zab 6:5; 88:10-11; 115:17 c Zab 30:9Kubanga tewali n’omu mu nsi y’abafu ayinza kukutendereza,

abafu tebayinza kukusuuta;

tebaba na ssuubi

mu bwesigwa bwo.

1938:19 a Ma 6:7; Zab 118:17; 119:175 b Ma 11:19Akyali omulamu,

y’akutendereza nga nze bwe nkola leero;

bakitaabwe b’abaana babategeeza

nga bw’oli omwesigwa ennyo.

2038:20 a Zab 68:25 b Zab 33:2 c Zab 116:2 d Zab 116:17-19Mukama alindokola,

kyetunaavanga tuyimba

ne tukuba n’ebivuga eby’enkoba ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwaffe,

mu nnyumba ya Mukama.

21Isaaya yali agambye nti, “Baddire ekitole ky’ettiini bakisiige ku jjute, liwone.”

22Kubanga Keezeekiya yali abuuzizza nti, “Kabonero ki akalaga nga ndiwona ne ntuuka okulagako mu nnyumba ya Mukama?”

Isaiah 38:1-22

Hezekiah’s illness

1In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to him and said, ‘This is what the Lord says: put your house in order, because you are going to die; you will not recover.’

2Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord, 3‘Remember, Lord, how I have walked before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion and have done what is good in your eyes.’ And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

4Then the word of the Lord came to Isaiah: 5‘Go and tell Hezekiah, “This is what the Lord, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will add fifteen years to your life. 6And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city.

7‘ “This is the Lord’s sign to you that the Lord will do what he has promised: 8I will make the shadow cast by the sun go back the ten steps it has gone down on the stairway of Ahaz.” ’ So the sunlight went back the ten steps it had gone down.

9A writing of Hezekiah king of Judah after his illness and recovery:

10I said, ‘In the prime of my life

must I go through the gates of death

and be robbed of the rest of my years?’

11I said, ‘I will not again see the Lord himself

in the land of the living;

no longer will I look on my fellow man,

or be with those who now dwell in this world.

12Like a shepherd’s tent my house

has been pulled down and taken from me.

Like a weaver I have rolled up my life,

and he has cut me off from the loom;

day and night you made an end of me.

13I waited patiently till dawn,

but like a lion he broke all my bones;

day and night you made an end of me.

14I cried like a swift or thrush,

I moaned like a mourning dove.

My eyes grew weak as I looked to the heavens.

I am being threatened; Lord, come to my aid!’

15But what can I say?

He has spoken to me, and he himself has done this.

I will walk humbly all my years

because of this anguish of my soul.

16Lord, by such things people live;

and my spirit finds life in them too.

You restored me to health

and let me live.

17Surely it was for my benefit

that I suffered such anguish.

In your love you kept me

from the pit of destruction;

you have put all my sins

behind your back.

18For the grave cannot praise you,

death cannot sing your praise;

those who go down to the pit

cannot hope for your faithfulness.

19The living, the living – they praise you,

as I am doing today;

parents tell their children

about your faithfulness.

20The Lord will save me,

and we will sing with stringed instruments

all the days of our lives

in the temple of the Lord.

21Isaiah had said, ‘Prepare a poultice of figs and apply it to the boil, and he will recover.’

22Hezekiah had asked, ‘What will be the sign that I will go up to the temple of the Lord?’
