Yesaya
38 Mʼmasiku amenewo, Hezekiya anadwala mpaka kutsala pangʼono kufa.+ Ndiyeno mneneri Yesaya+ mwana wa Amozi anapita kukamuuza kuti: “Yehova wanena kuti, ‘Uza banja lako zochita, chifukwa iweyo ufa ndithu, suchira.’”+ 2 Hezekiya atamva zimenezi, anatembenukira kukhoma nʼkuyamba kupemphera kwa Yehova kuti: 3 “Yehova ndikukupemphani kuti chonde, mukumbukire+ kuti ndinayenda pamaso panu mokhulupirika ndiponso ndi mtima wonse+ komanso ndachita zabwino pamaso panu.” Kenako Hezekiya anayamba kulira kwambiri.
4 Ndiyeno Yehova analankhula ndi Yesaya kuti: 5 “Bwerera kwa Hezekiya+ ndipo ukamuuze kuti, ‘Yehova Mulungu wa Davide kholo lako wanena kuti: “Ndamva pemphero lako+ ndipo ndaona misozi yako.+ Tsopano ndiwonjezera zaka 15 pa moyo wako,*+ 6 ndipo ndidzapulumutsa iweyo ndi mzindawu mʼmanja mwa mfumu ya Asuri komanso ndidzateteza mzinda uno.+ 7 Chizindikiro chochokera kwa Yehova chosonyeza kuti Yehova adzakwaniritsadi mawu ake,+ ndi ichi: 8 Ndichititsa kuti mthunzi wa dzuwa umene wadutsa kale pamasitepe* a Ahazi, ubwerere mʼmbuyo masitepe 10.”’”+ Choncho dzuwa linabwerera mʼmbuyo masitepe 10 pamasitepe amene linali litadutsa kale.
9 Hezekiya mfumu ya Yuda atadwala nʼkuchira, analemba zotsatirazi.
Zaka zotsala za moyo wanga zidzachotsedwa.”
11 Ndinanena kuti: “Sindidzamuona Ya,* Ya sindidzamuonanso mʼdziko la amoyo.+
Anthu sindidzawaonanso
Ndikadzakhala ndi anthu okhala kudziko limene kulibe moyo.
Ndakulunga moyo wanga ngati munthu wowomba nsalu.
Mwadula moyo wanga ngati ulusi wa nsalu.
Kuyambira mʼmawa mpaka usiku mukuchititsa kuti ndithe pangʼonopangʼono.+
13 Ndadzitonthoza mpaka mʼmawa.
Mofanana ndi mkango, iye akungokhalira kuphwanya mafupa anga onse.
Kuyambira mʼmawa mpaka usiku mukuchititsa kuti ndithe pangʼonopangʼono.+
14 Ndikungokhalira kulira ngati namzeze kapena kamwana ka mbalame.+
Ndikungokhalira kubuula ngati njiwa.+
Ndatopa ndi kudikirira thandizo kuchokera kumwamba.+ Choncho ndinati:
‘Inu Yehova ine ndapanikizika kwambiri.
Chonde ndithandizeni.’+
15 Kodi ndinene kuti chiyani?
Iye walankhula ndi ine ndipo wachitapo kanthu.
Ndidzayenda modzichepetsa zaka zonse za moyo wanga
Chifukwa cha kupweteka kwa mtima wanga.*
16 ‘Inu Yehova, munthu aliyense amakhala ndi moyo chifukwa cha zinthu zimenezi,*
Ndipo mʼzinthu zimenezi, mzimu wanga umapezamo moyo.
Inu mudzabwezeretsa thanzi langa nʼkundithandiza kuti ndikhalebe ndi moyo.+
17 Mʼmalo mopeza mtendere ndinali ndi chisoni chachikulu.
Koma chifukwa chakuti mumandikonda kwambiri,
Munanditeteza kuti ndisapite kudzenje lachiwonongeko.+
Machimo anga onse mwawaponyera kumbuyo kwanu.*+
Anthu amene akutsikira kudzenje sangayembekezere kuti muwasonyeze kukhulupirika kwanu.+
19 Munthu wamoyo, amene akupuma, ndi amene angakutamandeni,
Ngati mmene ineyo ndikuchitira lero.
Bambo akhoza kuphunzitsa ana ake za kukhulupirika kwanu.+
20 Inu Yehova, ndipulumutseni,
Ndipo ine ndi anthu ena tidzaimba nyimbo zanga ndi zoimbira za zingwe+
Kunyumba ya Yehova masiku onse a moyo wathu.’”+
21 Kenako Yesaya anati: “Bweretsani keke ya nkhuyu zouma zoumba pamodzi ndipo muziike pachotupa chimene ali nacho kuti achire.”+ 22 Hezekiya anali atafunsa kuti: “Kodi chizindikiro chakuti ndidzapitadi kunyumba ya Yehova nʼchiyani?”+
