Isaiah 38
1 In those days Hezekiah was sick to the point of dying. So Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, came to him, and said to him, “Yahweh says, 'Set your house in order; for you will die, not live.'”
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 Yahweh.
A Jezekija se okrete licem k zidu, i pomoli se Gospodu,
3 He said, “Please, Yahweh, call to mind how I have faithfully walked before you with my whole heart, and how I have done what was good in your sight.” Then Hezekiah wept loudly.
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 Then the word of Yahweh came to Isaiah, saying,
Tada doðe rijeè Gospodnja Isaiji govoreæi:
5 “Go and say to Hezekiah, the leader of my people, 'This is what Yahweh, the God of David your ancestor, says: I have heard your prayer, and I have seen your tears. See, I am about to 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 Then I will rescue you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.
I izbaviæu tebe i ovaj grad iz ruku cara Asirskoga, i braniæu ovaj grad.
7 This will be the sign to you from Yahweh, that I will do what I have promised.
I ovo neka ti bude znak od Gospoda da æe uèiniti Gospod što je rekao.
8 Look, I will cause the shadow on the stairs of Ahaz to go back ten steps.'” So the shadow went back ten steps of the stairs on which it had advanced.
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 was the written prayer of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick and then recovered:
Ovo napisa Jezekija car Judin kad se razbolje, i ozdravi od bolesti svoje:
10 “I said that halfway through my life I will go through the gates of Sheol; I am sent there for the rest 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 that I will no longer see Yahweh, Yahweh in the land of the living; I will no longer look on mankind or the inhabitants of the world.
Rekoh: neæu vidjeti Gospoda Gospoda u zemlji živijeh, neæu više vidjeti èovjeka meðu onima koji stanuju na svijetu.
12 My life is removed and carried away from me like a shepherd's tent; I have rolled up my life like a weaver; you are cutting me off from the loom; between day and night you are ending my life.
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 cried out until the morning; like a lion he breaks all my bones. Between day and night you are ending my life.
Mišljah za jutra da æe kao lav potrti sve kosti moje; od jutra do veèera uèiniæeš mi kraj.
14 Like a swallow I chirp; I coo like a dove; my eyes grow tired with looking upward. Lord, I am oppressed; help me.
Pištah kao ždrao i kao lastavica, ukah kao golubica, oèi mi išèilješe gledajuæi gore: Gospode, u nevolji sam, oblakšaj mi.
15 What shall I say? He has both spoken to me, and has done it; I will walk slowly all my years because I am overcome with grief.
Šta da reèem? On mi kaza, i uèini. Proživjeæu sve godine svoje po jadu duše svoje.
16 Lord, the sufferings you send are good for me; may my life be given back to me; you have restored my life and health.
Gospode, o tom se živi i u tom je svemu život duha mojega, iscijelio si me i saèuvao u životu.
17 It was for my benefit that I experienced such grief. You have rescued me from the pit of destruction; for you have thrown 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 does not thank you; death does not praise you; those who go down into the pit do not hope in your trustworthiness. (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 person, the living person, he is the one who gives you thanks, as I do this day; a father makes known to children your trustworthiness.
Živi, živi, oni æe te slaviti kao ja danas: otac æe sinovima javljati istinu tvoju.
20 Yahweh is about to save me, and we will celebrate with music all the days of our lives in the house of Yahweh.”
Gospod me spase, zato æemo pjevati pjesme moje u domu Gospodnjem dok smo god živi.
21 Now Isaiah had said, “Let them take a lump of figs and put it on the boil, and he will recover.”
A Isaija bješe rekao da uzmu grudu suhih smokava i priviju na otok, te æe ozdraviti.
22 Hezekiah also had said, “What will be the sign that I should go up to the house of Yahweh?”
I Jezekija bješe rekao: šta æe biti znak da æu otiæi u dom Gospodnji?
