Isaiah 38
1 In those days Hezekiah was sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah: Set thy house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.
U ono se vrijeme Ezekija razbolje nasmrt. Prorok Izaija, sin Amosov, dođe mu i reče: “Ovako veli Jahve: 'Uredi kuću svoju, jer ćeš umrijeti, nećeš ozdraviti.'”
2 And Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed to Jehovah,
Ezekija se okrenu zidu i ovako se pomoli Jahvi:
3 and said, Ah, Jehovah, remember, 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 much.
“Ah, Jahve, sjeti se da sam pred tobom hodio vjerno i poštena srca i učinio što je dobro u tvojim očima.” I Ezekija briznu u gorak plač.
4 And the word of Jehovah came to Isaiah, saying,
Tada dođe riječ Jahvina Izaiji:
5 Go and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of David thy father: I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add to thy days fifteen years.
“Idi i reci Ezekiji: Ovako kaže Jahve, Bog oca tvoga Davida: 'Uslišao sam tvoju molitvu, vidio tvoje suze. Izliječit ću te; za tri dana uzići ćeš u Dom Jahvin. Dodat ću tvome vijeku petnaest godina.
6 And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.
Izbavit ću tebe i ovaj grad iz ruku asirskoga kralja. Jest, zakrilit ću ovaj grad!'”
7 And this [shall be] the sign to thee from Jehovah, that Jehovah will do this thing that he hath spoken:
Izaija odgovori: “Evo ti znaka od Jahve da će učiniti što je rekao:
8 behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees which hath gone down with the sun on the dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned on the dial ten degrees, by which it had gone down.
sjenu koja je sišla po stupnjevima Ahazova sunčanika vratit ću za deset stupnjeva natrag.” I vrati se sunce deset stupnjeva natrag po stupnjevima po kojima bijaše već sišlo.
9 The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick and had recovered from his sickness:
Pjesan Ezekije, kralja judejskoga, kada se razbolio pa ozdravio od svoje bolesti:
10 I said, In the meridian of my days I shall go to the gates of Sheol: I am deprived of the rest of my years. (Sheol h7585)
“Govorio sam: U podne dana svojih ja moram otići. Na vratima Podzemlja mjesto mi je dano za ostatak mojih ljeta. (Sheol h7585)
11 I said, I shall not see Jah, Jah in the land of the living. With those who dwell where all has ceased to be, I shall behold man no more.
Govorio sam: Vidjet više neću Jahve na zemlji živih, vidjet više neću nikoga od stanovnika ovog svijeta.
12 Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd's tent. I have cut off like a weaver my life. He separateth me from the thrum: — from day to night thou wilt make an end of me.
Stan je moj razvrgnut, bačen daleko, kao šator pastirski; poput tkalca moj si život namotao da bi me otkinuo od osnove. Od jutra do noći skončat ćeš me,
13 I kept still until the morning; ...as a lion, so doth he break all my bones. From day to night thou wilt make an end of me.
vičem sve do jutra; kao što lav mrska kosti moje, od jutra do noći skončat ćeš me.
14 Like a swallow [or] a crane, so did I chatter; I mourned as a dove; mine eyes failed [with looking] upward: Lord, I am oppressed; undertake for me.
Poput laste ja pijučem, zapomažem kao golubica, uzgor mi se okreću oči, zauzmi se, jamči za me.
15 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.
Kako ću mu govoriti i što ću mu reći? TÓa on je koji djeluje. Slavit ću te sva ljeta svoja, premda s gorčinom u duši.
16 Lord, by these things [men] live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit; and thou hast recovered me, and made me to live.
Gospodine, za tebe živjet će srce moje i živjet će moj duh. Ti ćeš me izliječiti i vratiti mi život,
17 Behold, instead of peace I had bitterness upon bitterness; but thou hast in love delivered my soul from the pit of destruction; for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.
bolest će mi se pretvorit' u zdravlje. Ti si spasio dušu moju od jame uništenja, za leđa si bacio sve moje grijehe.
18 For not Sheol shall praise thee, nor death celebrate thee; they that go down into the pit do not hope for thy truth. (Sheol h7585)
Jer Podzemlje ne slavi te, ne hvali te Smrt; oni koji padnu u rupu u tvoju se vjernost više ne uzdaju. (Sheol h7585)
19 The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.
Živi, živi, jedino on te slavi kao ja danas. Otac naučava sinovima tvoju vjernost.
20 Jehovah was [purposed] to save me. — And we will play upon my stringed instruments all the days of our life, in the house of Jehovah.
U pomoć mi, Jahve priteci, i mi ćemo pjevati uz harfe sve dane svojega života pred Hramom Jahvinim.”
21 Now Isaiah had said, Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it for a plaster upon the boil, and he shall recover.
Izaija naloži: “Donesite oblog od smokava, privijte mu ga na čir i on će ozdraviti.”
22 And Hezekiah had said, What is the sign that I shall go up into the house of Jehovah?
Ezekija upita: “Po kojem ću znaku prepoznati da ću uzići u Dom Jahvin?”
