Izaija 38
1 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.‹«
In those days Hezekiah became ill and was near death. And so, Isaiah, the son of Amoz, the prophet, entered to him, and he said to him: “Thus says the Lord: Put your house in order, for you shall die, and you shall not live.”
2 Potem je Ezekíja svoj obraz obrnil k steni, molil h Gospodu
And Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and he prayed to the Lord.
3 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.
And he said: “I beg you, Lord, I beseech you, to remember how I walked before you in truth and with a whole heart, and that I have done what is good in your sight.” And Hezekiah wept with a great weeping.
4 Potem je prišla Gospodova beseda k Izaiju, rekoč:
And the word of the Lord came to Isaiah, saying:
5 »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.
“Go and say to Hezekiah: Thus says the Lord, the God of David, your father: I have heard your prayer, and I have seen your tears. Behold, I will add fifteen years to your days.
6 Tebe in to mesto bom osvobodil iz roke asirskega kralja in jaz bom branil to mesto.
And I will rescue you and this city from the hand of the king of the Assyrians, and I will protect it.
7 To ti bo znamenje od Gospoda, da bo Gospod storil to stvar, ki jo je govoril:
And this will be a sign for you from the Lord, that the Lord will do this word, which he has spoken:
8 ›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.
Behold, I will cause the shadow of the lines, which has now descended on the sundial of Ahaz, to move in reverse for ten lines.” And so, the sun moved backward by ten lines, through the degrees by which it had descended.
9 Pisanje Judovega kralja Ezekíja, ko je bil bolan in je okreval od svoje bolezni:
The writing of Hezekiah, the king of Judah, after he had fallen ill and had recovered from his sickness:
10 »Rekel sem o preostanku svojih dni: ›Šel bom do velikih vrat groba. Prikrajšan sem preostanka svojih let.‹ (Sheol h7585)
“I said: In the middle of my days, I will go to the gates of Hell. So I sought the remainder of my years. (Sheol h7585)
11 Rekel sem: ›Ne bom videl Gospoda, celó Gospoda, v deželi živih. Ne bom več gledal človeka s prebivalci sveta.
I said: I will not see the Lord God in the land of the living. I will no longer behold man, nor the habitation of rest.
12 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.
My longevity has been taken away; it has been folded up and taken from me, like the tent of a shepherd. My life has been cut off, as if by a weaver. While I was still beginning, he cut me off. From morning until evening, you have marked out my limits.
13 Štel sem do jutra, da bo, tako kakor lev, zlomil vse moje kosti. Od dneva, celó do noči boš iz mene naredil konec.
I hoped, even until morning. Like a lion, so has he crushed all my bones. From morning until evening, you have marked my limits.
14 Kakor žerjav ali lastovka, tako sem žvrgolel. Žaloval sem kakor golobica. Moje oči pešajo z gledanjem navzgor. Oh Gospod, zatiran sem, zavzemi se zame.
I will cry out, like a young swallow. I will meditate, like a dove. My eyes have been weakened by gazing upward. O Lord, I suffer violence! Answer in my favor.
15 Kaj naj rečem? On mi je tako govoril in sam je to storil. Vsa svoja leta bom mirno hodil v grenkobi svoje duše.
What can I say, or what would he answer me, since he himself has done this? I will acknowledge to you all my years, in the bitterness of my soul.
16 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.
O Lord, if such is life, and if the life of my spirit is of such a kind, may you correct me and may you cause me to live.
17 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.
Behold, in peace my bitterness is most bitter. But you have rescued my soul, so that it would not perish. You have cast all my sins behind your back.
18 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)
For Hell will not confess to you, and death will not praise you. Those who descend into the pit will not hope for your truth. (Sheol h7585)
19 Živeči, živeči, ta te bo hvalil, kakor danes počnem jaz. Oče bo otrokom dal spoznati tvojo resnico.
The living, the living, these will give praise to you, as I also do this day! The father will make the truth known to the sons.
20 Gospod je bil pripravljen, da me reši. Zato bomo peli moje pesmi, na glasbila na strune, vse dni našega življenja v hiši Gospodovi.‹«
O Lord, save me! And we will sing our psalms, all the days of our life, in the house of the Lord.”
21 Kajti Izaija je rekel: »Naj vzamejo kepo fig in jo položijo za pomirjevalo na vnetje in okreval bo.«
Now Isaiah had ordered them to take a paste of figs, and to spread it like plaster over the wound, so that he would be healed.
22 Ezekíja je tudi rekel: »Kaj je znamenje, da bom šel gor, h Gospodovi hiši?«
And Hezekiah said, “What will be the sign that I may go up to the house of the Lord?”
