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.
And it came to pass at that time, [that] Ezekias was sick even to death. And Esaias the prophet the son of Amos came to him, and said to him, Thus saith the Lord, Give orders concerning thy house: for thou shalt die, and not live.
2 Tad Hizkija savu vaigu pagrieza pret sienu un pielūdza To Kungu un sacīja:
And Ezekias turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying,
3 Ak Kungs, piemini jel, ka es Tavā priekšā esmu staigājis patiesībā no visas sirds un darījis, kas Tev patīk. Un Hizkija raudāja gauži.
Remember, O Lord, how I have walked before thee in truth, with a true heart, and have done that which was pleasing in thy sight. And Ezekias wept bitterly.
4 Tad Tā Kunga vārds tā notika uz Jesaju:
And the word of the Lord came to Esaias, saying, Go, and say to Ezekias,
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.
Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, and seen thy tears: behold, I [will] add to thy time fifteen years.
6 Un tevi un šo pilsētu es izpestīšu no Asīrijas ķēniņa rokas un pasargāšu šo pilsētu.
And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians: and I will defend this city.
7 Un šī būs tā zīme no Tā Kunga, ka Tas Kungs šo lietu darīs, ko Viņš runājis:
And this [shall be] a sign to thee from the Lord, that God will do this thing;
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.
behold, I will turn back the shadow of the degrees [of the dial] by which ten degrees on the house of thy father the sun has gone down—I will turn back the sun the ten degrees; so the sun went back the ten degrees by which the shadow had gone down.
9 Šis ir Hizkijas, Jūda ķēniņa, raksts, kad viņš bija slims bijis un no savas slimības palicis vesels.
THE PRAYER OF EZEKIAS KING OF JUDEA, WHEN HE HAD BEEN SICK, AND WAS RECOVERED FROM HIS SICKNESS.
10 Es sacīju: Pašās savās labākās dienās man jānokāpj kapa vārtos, mani atliekamie gadi man top atņemti. (Sheol h7585)
I said in the end of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I shall part with 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 shall no more at all see the salvation of God in the land of the living: I shall no more at all see the salvation of Israel on the earth: I shall no more at all see man.
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 life] has failed from among my kindred: I have parted with the remainder of my life: it has gone forth and departed from me, as one that having pitched a tent takes it down [again]: my breath was with me as a weaver's web, when she that weaves draws nigh to cut off [the] thread.
13 Es gaidīju līdz rītam, bet kā lauva Viņš salauž visus manus kaulus. Pirms nakts metās, Tu man darīsi galu.
In that day I was given up as to a lion until the morning: so has he broken all my bones: for I was so given up from day [even] to night.
14 Es kliedzu kā dzērve un bezdelīga, es vaidēju kā balodis, manas acis nogura uz augšu skatoties. Ak Kungs, man ir bail, izpestī mani!
As a swallow, so will I cry, and as a dove, so do I mourn: for mine eyes have failed with looking to the height of heaven to the Lord, who has delivered me, and removed the sorrow of my soul.
15 Ko lai es saku? Kā viņš man solījis, tā viņš ir darījis; klusu es nu staigāšu visu savu mūžu manas dvēseles skumju dēļ.
16 Ak Kungs! No tā cilvēks atdzīvojās, un iekš tā visa stāv mana gara dzīvība, Tu mani atspirdzināsi un mani atkal darīsi dzīvu.
[Yea], O Lord, for it was told thee concerning this; and thou hast revived my breath; and I am comforted, and 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.
For thou hast chosen my soul, that it should not perish: and thou hast cast all [my] sins behind me.
18 Jo elle Tevi neteic, un nāve Tevi neslavē; tie, kas grimst bedrē, necerē uz Tavu patiesību. (Sheol h7585)
For they that are in the grave shall not praise thee, neither shall the dead bless thee, neither shall they that are in Hades hope for thy mercy. (Sheol h7585)
19 Tie dzīvie, tie dzīvie, tie Tevi slavē, kā es šodien; tēvs bērniem dara zināmu Tavu patiesību.
The living shall bless thee, as I also [do]: for from this day shall I beget children, who shall declare thy righteousness,
20 Tas Kungs ir man par pestīšanu, un mēs dziedāsim savas dziesmas, kamēr dzīvosim Tā Kunga namā.
O God of my salvation; and I will not cease blessing thee with the psaltery all the days of my life before the house of God.
21 Un Jesaja sacīja: Lai ņem vienu vīģu rausi un liek plāksteri uz to trumu, tad viņš paliks vesels.
Now Esaias had said to Ezekias; Take a cake of figs, and mash them, and apply them as a plaster, and thou shalt be well.
22 Un Hizkija sacīja: Kāda ir tā zīme, ka es noiešu Tā Kunga namā?
And Ezekias said, This is a sign to Ezekias, that I shall go up to the house of God.
