Jesajas 38
1 Tanī laikā Hizkija palika slims uz miršanu, un pravietis Jesaja, Amoca dēls, nāca pie tā un uz to sacīja: Tā saka Tas Kungs: Apkopi savu namu, jo tu mirsi un nepaliksi vesels.
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.’”
2 Tad Hizkija savu vaigu pagrieza pret sienu un pielūdza To Kungu un sacīja:
Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD,
3 Ak Kungs, piemini jel, ka es Tavā priekšā esmu staigājis patiesībā no visas sirds un darījis, kas Tev patīk. Un Hizkija raudāja gauži.
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.
4 Tad Tā Kunga vārds tā notika uz Jesaju:
And the word of the LORD came to Isaiah, saying,
5 Ej un saki Hizkijam: Tā saka Tas Kungs, tava tēva Dāvida Dievs: Es tavu lūgšanu esmu klausījis, Es tavas asaras esmu redzējis. Redzi, Es tavām dienām pielikšu vēl piecpadsmit gadus.
“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.
6 Un tevi un šo pilsētu es izpestīšu no Asīrijas ķēniņa rokas un pasargāšu šo pilsētu.
And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city.
7 Un šī būs tā zīme no Tā Kunga, ka Tas Kungs šo lietu darīs, ko Viņš runājis:
This will be a sign to you from the LORD that He will do what He has promised:
8 Redzi, tai ēnai, kas ar sauli pa tiem kāpieniem pie Ahaza saules stundeņa uz priekšu gājusi, Es likšu iet atpakaļ desmit kāpienus. Un saule gāja atpakaļ desmit kāpienus pa tiem pašiem kāpieniem, kā tā bija gājusi uz priekšu.
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.
9 Šis ir Hizkijas, Jūda ķēniņa, raksts, kad viņš bija slims bijis un no savas slimības palicis vesels.
This is a writing by Hezekiah king of Judah after his illness and recovery:
10 Es sacīju: Pašās savās labākās dienās man jānokāpj kapa vārtos, mani atliekamie gadi man top atņemti. (Sheol h7585)
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)
11 Es sacīju: Es vairs neredzēšu To Kungu, To Kungu tai zemē, kur tie dzīvie, es vairs neieraudzīšu cilvēkus tai vietā, kur tie aizmigušie mājo.
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.
12 Mans nams top noplēsts un aizcelts, kā ganu būdiņa; es savu dzīvību satinu kā audējs (savu audekli). Viņš mani nogriež kā no riestavas. Pirms nakts metās, Tu man dari galu.
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.
13 Es gaidīju līdz rītam, bet kā lauva Viņš salauž visus manus kaulus. Pirms nakts metās, Tu man darīsi galu.
I composed myself until the morning. Like a lion He breaks all my bones; from day until night You make an end of me.
14 Es kliedzu kā dzērve un bezdelīga, es vaidēju kā balodis, manas acis nogura uz augšu skatoties. Ak Kungs, man ir bail, izpestī mani!
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.”
15 Ko lai es saku? Kā viņš man solījis, tā viņš ir darījis; klusu es nu staigāšu visu savu mūžu manas dvēseles skumju dēļ.
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.
16 Ak Kungs! No tā cilvēks atdzīvojās, un iekš tā visa stāv mana gara dzīvība, Tu mani atspirdzināsi un mani atkal darīsi dzīvu.
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.
17 Redzi, rūgtums palicis man par svētību, pats rūgtums, bet Tu manu dvēseli mīlīgi esi apkampis, ka tā nenāktu trūdēšanas bedrē, jo Tu visus manus grēkus esi metis aiz Sevi.
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.
18 Jo elle Tevi neteic, un nāve Tevi neslavē; tie, kas grimst bedrē, necerē uz Tavu patiesību. (Sheol h7585)
For Sheol cannot thank You; Death cannot praise You. Those who descend to the Pit cannot hope for Your faithfulness. (Sheol h7585)
19 Tie dzīvie, tie dzīvie, tie Tevi slavē, kā es šodien; tēvs bērniem dara zināmu Tavu patiesību.
The living, only the living, can thank You, as I do today; fathers will tell their children about Your faithfulness.
20 Tas Kungs ir man par pestīšanu, un mēs dziedāsim savas dziesmas, kamēr dzīvosim Tā Kunga namā.
The LORD will save me; we will play songs on stringed instruments all the days of our lives in the house of the LORD.
21 Un Jesaja sacīja: Lai ņem vienu vīģu rausi un liek plāksteri uz to trumu, tad viņš paliks vesels.
Now Isaiah had said, “Prepare a lump of pressed figs and apply it to the boil, and he will recover.”
22 Un Hizkija sacīja: Kāda ir tā zīme, ka es noiešu Tā Kunga namā?
And Hezekiah had asked, “What will be the sign that I will go up to the house of the LORD?”
