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 was sick and near death. Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him, and said to him, “The LORD says, ‘Set your house in order, for you will die, and not live.’”
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.
and said, “Remember now, LORD, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight.” Then Hezekiah wept bitterly.
4 Tad Tā Kunga vārds tā notika uz Jesaju:
Then the LORD’s word 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, ‘The LORD, the God of David your father, 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.
I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.
7 Un šī būs tā zīme no Tā Kunga, ka Tas Kungs šo lietu darīs, ko Viņš runājis:
This shall be the sign to you from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he has spoken.
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 cause the shadow on the sundial, which has gone down on the sundial of Ahaz with the sun, to return backward ten steps.”’” So the sun returned ten steps on the sundial on which it had gone down.
9 Šis ir Hizkijas, Jūda ķēniņa, raksts, kad viņš bija slims bijis un no savas slimības palicis vesels.
The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and had recovered of 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 middle of my life I go into the gates of Sheol. I am deprived of the residue 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 won’t see the LORD, the LORD in the land of the living. I will see man no more with the inhabitants of the 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 is removed, and is carried away from me like a shepherd’s tent. I have rolled up my life like a weaver. He will cut me off from the loom. From day even to night you will 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 waited patiently until morning. He breaks all my bones like a lion. From day even to night you will 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 chattered like a swallow or a crane. I moaned like a dove. My eyes weaken looking upward. 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 will I say? He has both spoken to me, and himself has done it. I will walk carefully 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.
Lord, men live by these things; and my spirit finds life in all of them. You restore me, and cause me to 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.
Behold, for peace I had great anguish, but you have in love for my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption; 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 can’t praise you. Death can’t celebrate you. Those who go down into the pit can’t hope for your truth. (Sheol h7585)
19 Tie dzīvie, tie dzīvie, tie Tevi slavē, kā es šodien; tēvs bērniem dara zināmu Tavu patiesību.
The living, the living, he shall praise you, as I do today. The father shall make known your truth to the children.
20 Tas Kungs ir man par pestīšanu, un mēs dziedāsim savas dziesmas, kamēr dzīvosim Tā Kunga namā.
The LORD will save me. Therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments all the days of our life in the LORD’s house.
21 Un Jesaja sacīja: Lai ņem vienu vīģu rausi un liek plāksteri uz to trumu, tad viņš paliks vesels.
Now Isaiah had said, “Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it for a poultice on the boil, and he shall recover.”
22 Un Hizkija sacīja: Kāda ir tā zīme, ka es noiešu Tā Kunga namā?
Hezekiah also had said, “What is the sign that I will go up to the LORD’s house?”
