Isaiah 38
1 In those days hath Hezekiah been sick unto death, and come in unto him doth Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, and saith unto him, 'Thus said Jehovah: Give a charge to thy house, for thou [art] dying, and dost not live.'
V tistih dneh je bil Ezekíja na smrt bolan. Amócov sin, prerok Izaija, je prišel k njemu ter mu rekel: »Tako govori Gospod: ›Postavi svojo hišo v red, kajti umrl boš in ne živel.‹«
2 And Hezekiah turneth round his face unto the wall, and prayeth unto Jehovah,
Potem je Ezekíja svoj obraz obrnil k steni, molil h Gospodu
3 and saith, 'I pray thee, O Jehovah, remember, I pray Thee, how I have walked habitually before Thee in truth, and with a perfect heart, and that which [is] good in thine eyes I have done;' and Hezekiah weepeth — a great weeping.
in rekel: »Spomni se sedaj, oh Gospod, rotim te, kako sem hodil pred teboj v resnici in s popolnim srcem in delal to, kar je dobro v tvojem pogledu.« In Ezekíja je bridko zajokal.
4 And a word of Jehovah is unto Isaiah, saying,
Potem je prišla Gospodova beseda k Izaiju, rekoč:
5 Go, and thou hast said to Hezekiah, Thus said Jehovah, God of David thy father, 'I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tear, lo, I am adding to thy days fifteen years,
»Pojdi in povej Ezekíju: ›Tako govori Gospod, Bog tvojega očeta Davida: ›Slišal sem tvojo molitev, videl sem tvoje solze. Glej, tvojim dnevom bom dodal petnajst let.
6 and out of the hand of the king of Asshur I deliver thee and this city, and have covered over this city.
Tebe in to mesto bom osvobodil iz roke asirskega kralja in jaz bom branil to mesto.
7 And this [is] to thee the sign from Jehovah, that Jehovah doth this thing that He hath spoken.
To ti bo znamenje od Gospoda, da bo Gospod storil to stvar, ki jo je govoril:
8 Lo, I am bringing back the shadow of the degrees that it hath gone down on the degrees of Ahaz, by the sun, backward ten degrees:' and the sun turneth back ten degrees in the degrees that it had gone down.
›Glej, senco stopinj, ki se je na Aházovi sončni uri spustila, bom ponovno privedel deset stopinj nazaj.‹« Tako se je sonce vrnilo [za] deset stopinj, po stopinjah, po katerih se je spustilo.
9 A writing of Hezekiah king of Judah concerning his being sick, when he reviveth from his sickness:
Pisanje Judovega kralja Ezekíja, ko je bil bolan in je okreval od svoje bolezni:
10 'I — I said in the cutting off of my days, I go in to the gates of Sheol, I have numbered the remnant of mine years. (Sheol h7585)
»Rekel sem o preostanku svojih dni: ›Šel bom do velikih vrat groba. Prikrajšan sem preostanka svojih let.‹ (Sheol h7585)
11 I said, I do not see Jah — Jah! In the land of the living, I do not behold man any more, With the inhabitants of the world.
Rekel sem: ›Ne bom videl Gospoda, celó Gospoda, v deželi živih. Ne bom več gledal človeka s prebivalci sveta.
12 My sojourning hath departed, And been removed from me as a shepherd's tent, I have drawn together, as a weaver, my life, By weakness it cutteth me off, From day unto night Thou dost end me.
Moja starost je odšla in od mene je odstranjena kakor pastirski šotor. Kakor tkalec sem odrezal svoje življenje. Odrezal me bo z mučno boleznijo. Od dneva, celo do noči boš naredil moj konec.
13 I have set [Him] till morning as a lion, So doth He break all my bones, From day unto night Thou dost end me.
Štel sem do jutra, da bo, tako kakor lev, zlomil vse moje kosti. Od dneva, celó do noči boš iz mene naredil konec.
14 As a crane — a swallow — so I chatter, I mourn as a dove, Drawn up have been mine eyes on high, O Jehovah, oppression [is] on me, be my surety.
Kakor žerjav ali lastovka, tako sem žvrgolel. Žaloval sem kakor golobica. Moje oči pešajo z gledanjem navzgor. Oh Gospod, zatiran sem, zavzemi se zame.
15 — What do I say? seeing He said to me, And He Himself hath wrought, I go softly all my years for the bitterness of my soul.
Kaj naj rečem? On mi je tako govoril in sam je to storil. Vsa svoja leta bom mirno hodil v grenkobi svoje duše.
16 Lord, by these do [men] live, And by all in them [is] the life of my spirit, And Thou savest me, make me also to live,
Oh Gospod, po teh stvareh ljudje živijo in v vseh teh stvareh je življenje mojega duha. Tako me boš obnovil in me pripravil, da živim.
17 Lo, to peace He changed for me bitterness, And Thou hast delighted in my soul without corruption, For Thou hast cast behind Thy back all my sins.
Glej, za mir sem imel veliko grenkobo, toda ti si v ljubezni do moje duše le-to osvobodil iz jame izprijenosti, kajti vse moje grehe si vrgel za svoj hrbet.
18 For Sheol doth not confess Thee, Death doth not praise Thee, Those going down to the pit hope not for Thy truth. (Sheol h7585)
Kajti grob te ne more hvaliti, smrt te ne more proslavljati. Tisti, ki gredo dol v jamo, ne morejo upati na tvojo resnico. (Sheol h7585)
19 The living, the living, he doth confess Thee.
Živeči, živeči, ta te bo hvalil, kakor danes počnem jaz. Oče bo otrokom dal spoznati tvojo resnico.
20 Like myself to-day — a father to sons Doth make known of Thy faithfulness, O Jehovah — to save me: And my songs we sing all days of our lives In the house of Jehovah.'
Gospod je bil pripravljen, da me reši. Zato bomo peli moje pesmi, na glasbila na strune, vse dni našega življenja v hiši Gospodovi.‹«
21 And Isaiah saith, 'Let them take a bunch of figs, and plaster over the ulcer, and he liveth.'
Kajti Izaija je rekel: »Naj vzamejo kepo fig in jo položijo za pomirjevalo na vnetje in okreval bo.«
22 And Hezekiah saith, 'What [is] the sign that I go up to the house of Jehovah!'
Ezekíja je tudi rekel: »Kaj je znamenje, da bom šel gor, h Gospodovi hiši?«
