Isaiah 38
1 In those days Hezekiah became mortally ill. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz came to him and said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Put your house in order, for you are about to die; you will not recover.’”
U to vrijeme razbolje se Jezekija na smrt; i doðe k njemu prorok Isaija sin Amosov i reèe mu: ovako veli Gospod: naredi za kuæu svoju, jer æeš umrijeti i neæeš ostati živ.
2 Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD,
A Jezekija se okrete licem k zidu, i pomoli se Gospodu,
3 saying, “Please, O LORD, remember how I have walked before You faithfully and with wholehearted devotion; I have done what was good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
I reèe: oh, Gospode, opomeni se da sam jednako hodio pred tobom vjerno i s cijelijem srcem, i tvorio što je tebi ugodno. I plaka Jezekija veoma.
4 And the word of the LORD came to Isaiah, saying,
Tada doðe rijeè Gospodnja Isaiji govoreæi:
5 “Go and tell Hezekiah that this is what the LORD, the God of your father David, says: ‘I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Behold, I will add fifteen years to your life.
Idi i reci Jezekiji: ovako veli Gospod Bog Davida oca tvojega: èuo sam molitvu tvoju, i vidio sam suze tvoje, evo dodaæu ti vijeku petnaest godina.
6 And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city.
I izbaviæu tebe i ovaj grad iz ruku cara Asirskoga, i braniæu ovaj grad.
7 This will be a sign to you from the LORD that He will do what He has promised:
I ovo neka ti bude znak od Gospoda da æe uèiniti Gospod što je rekao.
8 I will make the sun’s shadow that falls on the stairway of Ahaz go back ten steps.’” So the sunlight went back the ten steps it had descended.
Evo ja æu vratiti sjen po koljencima po kojima je sišao na sunèaniku Ahazovu natrag za deset koljenaca. I vrati se sunce za deset koljenaca po koljencima po kojima bijaše sišlo.
9 This is a writing by Hezekiah king of Judah after his illness and recovery:
Ovo napisa Jezekija car Judin kad se razbolje, i ozdravi od bolesti svoje:
10 I said, “In the prime of my life I must go through the gates of Sheol and be deprived of the remainder of my years.” (Sheol h7585)
Ja rekoh, kad se presjekoše dani moji: idem k vratima grobnijem, uze mi se ostatak godina mojih. (Sheol h7585)
11 I said, “I will never again see the LORD, even the LORD, in the land of the living; I will no longer look on mankind with those who dwell in this world.
Rekoh: neæu vidjeti Gospoda Gospoda u zemlji živijeh, neæu više vidjeti èovjeka meðu onima koji stanuju na svijetu.
12 My dwelling has been picked up and removed from me like a shepherd’s tent. I have rolled up my life like a weaver; He cuts me off from the loom; from day until night You make an end of me.
Vijek moj proðe i prenese se od mene kao šator pastirski; presjekoh život svoj kao tkaè, otsjeæi æe me od osnutka; od jutra do veèera uèiniæeš mi kraj.
13 I composed myself until the morning. Like a lion He breaks all my bones; from day until night You make an end of me.
Mišljah za jutra da æe kao lav potrti sve kosti moje; od jutra do veèera uèiniæeš mi kraj.
14 I chirp like a swallow or crane; I moan like a dove. My eyes grow weak as I look upward. O Lord, I am oppressed; be my security.”
Pištah kao ždrao i kao lastavica, ukah kao golubica, oèi mi išèilješe gledajuæi gore: Gospode, u nevolji sam, oblakšaj mi.
15 What can I say? He has spoken to me, and He Himself has done this. I will walk slowly all my years because of the anguish of my soul.
Šta da reèem? On mi kaza, i uèini. Proživjeæu sve godine svoje po jadu duše svoje.
16 O Lord, by such things men live, and in all of them my spirit finds life. You have restored me to health and have let me live.
Gospode, o tom se živi i u tom je svemu život duha mojega, iscijelio si me i saèuvao u životu.
17 Surely for my own welfare I had such great anguish; but Your love has delivered me from the pit of oblivion, for You have cast all my sins behind Your back.
Evo, na mir doðe mi ljut jad; ali tebi bi milo da izvuèeš dušu moju iz jame pogibli, jer si bacio za leða svoja sve grijehe moje.
18 For Sheol cannot thank You; Death cannot praise You. Those who descend to the Pit cannot hope for Your faithfulness. (Sheol h7585)
Jer neæe grob tebe slaviti, neæe te smrt hvaliti, i koji siðu u grob ne nadaju se tvojoj istini. (Sheol h7585)
19 The living, only the living, can thank You, as I do today; fathers will tell their children about Your faithfulness.
Živi, živi, oni æe te slaviti kao ja danas: otac æe sinovima javljati istinu tvoju.
20 The LORD will save me; we will play songs on stringed instruments all the days of our lives in the house of the LORD.
Gospod me spase, zato æemo pjevati pjesme moje u domu Gospodnjem dok smo god živi.
21 Now Isaiah had said, “Prepare a lump of pressed figs and apply it to the boil, and he will recover.”
A Isaija bješe rekao da uzmu grudu suhih smokava i priviju na otok, te æe ozdraviti.
22 And Hezekiah had asked, “What will be the sign that I will go up to the house of the LORD?”
I Jezekija bješe rekao: šta æe biti znak da æu otiæi u dom Gospodnji?
