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 was sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah: Set thy house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.
2 Potem je Ezekíja svoj obraz obrnil k steni, molil h Gospodu
And Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed to Jehovah,
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 said, Ah, Jehovah, remember, 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 much.
4 Potem je prišla Gospodova beseda k Izaiju, rekoč:
And the word of Jehovah 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 saith Jehovah, 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 Tebe in to mesto bom osvobodil iz roke asirskega kralja in jaz bom branil to mesto.
And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.
7 To ti bo znamenje od Gospoda, da bo Gospod storil to stvar, ki jo je govoril:
And this [shall be] the sign to thee from Jehovah, that Jehovah will do this thing that he hath 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 bring again the shadow of the degrees which hath gone down with the sun on the dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned on the dial ten degrees, by which it had gone down.
9 Pisanje Judovega kralja Ezekíja, ko je bil bolan in je okreval od svoje bolezni:
The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick 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 meridian of my days I shall go to the gates of Sheol: I am deprived of the rest 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 shall not see Jah, Jah in the land of the living. With those who dwell where all has ceased to be, I shall behold man no more.
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.
Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd's tent. I have cut off like a weaver my life. He separateth me from the thrum: — from day to night thou wilt make an end of me.
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 kept still until the morning; ...as a lion, so doth he break all my bones. From day to night thou wilt make an end of me.
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.
Like a swallow [or] a crane, so did I chatter; I mourned as a dove; mine eyes failed [with looking] upward: Lord, I am oppressed; undertake for me.
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 shall I say? He hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done [it]. I shall go softly 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.
Lord, by these things [men] live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit; and thou hast recovered me, and made 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, instead of peace I had bitterness upon bitterness; but thou hast in love delivered my soul from the pit of destruction; for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy 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 not Sheol shall praise thee, nor death celebrate thee; they that go down into the pit do not hope for thy 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, he shall praise thee, as I this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.
20 Gospod je bil pripravljen, da me reši. Zato bomo peli moje pesmi, na glasbila na strune, vse dni našega življenja v hiši Gospodovi.‹«
Jehovah was [purposed] to save me. — And we will play upon my stringed instruments all the days of our life, in the house of Jehovah.
21 Kajti Izaija je rekel: »Naj vzamejo kepo fig in jo položijo za pomirjevalo na vnetje in okreval bo.«
Now Isaiah had said, Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it for a plaster upon the boil, and he shall recover.
22 Ezekíja je tudi rekel: »Kaj je znamenje, da bom šel gor, h Gospodovi hiši?«
And Hezekiah had said, What is the sign that I shall go up into the house of Jehovah?
