Isaija 38

1 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.

In those days was Hezekiah sick and near death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thy house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.

2 A Jezekija se okrete licem k zidu, i pomoli se Gospodu,

Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the LORD,

3 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.

And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

4 Tada doðe rijeè Gospodnja Isaiji govoreæi:

Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying,

5 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.

Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add to thy days fifteen years.

6 I izbaviæu tebe i ovaj grad iz ruku cara Asirskoga, i braniæu ovaj grad.

And I will deliver thee and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city.

7 I ovo neka ti bude znak od Gospoda da æe uèiniti Gospod što je rekao.

And this shall be a sign to thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken;

8 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.

Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which hath gone down on the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it had gone down.

9 Ovo napisa Jezekija car Judin kad se razbolje, i ozdravi od bolesti svoje:

The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and had recovered from his sickness:

10 Ja rekoh, kad se presjekoše dani moji: idem k vratima grobnijem, uze mi se ostatak godina mojih. (Sheol h7585)

I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the rest of my years. (Sheol h7585)

11 Rekoh: neæu vidjeti Gospoda Gospoda u zemlji živijeh, neæu više vidjeti èovjeka meðu onima koji stanuju na svijetu.

I said, I shall not see the LORD, even the LORD, in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world.

12 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.

My age hath departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd’s tent: I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with pining sickness: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.

13 Mišljah za jutra da æe kao lav potrti sve kosti moje; od jutra do veèera uèiniæeš mi kraj.

I reckoned till morning, that, as a lion, so will he break all my bones: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.

14 Pištah kao ždrao i kao lastavica, ukah kao golubica, oèi mi išèilješe gledajuæi gore: Gospode, u nevolji sam, oblakšaj mi.

Like a crane or a swallow, so I chattered: I mourned as a dove: my eyes fail with looking upward: O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me.

15 Šta da reèem? On mi kaza, i uèini. Proživjeæu sve godine svoje po jadu duše svoje.

What shall I say? he hath both spoken to me, and himself hath done it: I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul.

16 Gospode, o tom se živi i u tom je svemu život duha mojega, iscijelio si me i saèuvao u životu.

O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou restore me, and make me to live.

17 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.

Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.

18 Jer neæe grob tebe slaviti, neæe te smrt hvaliti, i koji siðu u grob ne nadaju se tvojoj istini. (Sheol h7585)

For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. (Sheol h7585)

19 Živi, živi, oni æe te slaviti kao ja danas: otac æe sinovima javljati istinu tvoju.

The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.

20 Gospod me spase, zato æemo pjevati pjesme moje u domu Gospodnjem dok smo god živi.

The LORD was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD.

21 A Isaija bješe rekao da uzmu grudu suhih smokava i priviju na otok, te æe ozdraviti.

For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaster upon the boil, and he shall recover.

22 I Jezekija bješe rekao: šta æe biti znak da æu otiæi u dom Gospodnji?

Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD?
