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 was Hezekiah sick and near death. Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him, and said to him, "Thus says the LORD, 'Set your house in order, for you will die, and not live.'"

2 Potem je Ezekíja svoj obraz obrnil k steni, molil h Gospodu

Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and 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 said, "Remember now, the 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." Hezekiah wept bitterly.

4 Potem je prišla Gospodova beseda k Izaiju, rekoč:

Then 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 tell Hezekiah, 'Thus says the LORD, the God of David your father, "I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Look, I will add fifteen years to your life.

6 Tebe in to mesto bom osvobodil iz roke asirskega kralja in jaz bom branil to mesto.

I will deliver you 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:

This shall be the sign to you from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that 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.

Look, I will cause the shadow on the steps, which has gone down with the sun on the upper steps of Ahaz, to go backward ten steps. So the sun returned ten steps on the sundial on 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 of 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 life I go into the gates of Sheol. I am deprived of the residue 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 won't see the LORD in the land of the living. I will not look on humankind any longer with the inhabitants of the world.

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 dwelling is removed, and is carried away from me like a shepherd's tent. I have rolled up, like a weaver, my life. He will cut me off from the loom. From day even to night you will 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 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 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 chip like a swallow or a thrush. I moan like a dove. My eyes weaken looking upward. LORD, I am oppressed. Be my security."

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 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 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.

The LORD is against them, but they live, and all of them who live have his spirit. Restore me to health and let me 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.

Look, 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 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 Sheol can't praise you. And death can't celebrate you. And those who go down into the pit can't 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, he shall praise you, as I do this day. The father shall make known your truth to the children.

20 Gospod je bil pripravljen, da me reši. Zato bomo peli moje pesmi, na glasbila na strune, vse dni našega življenja v hiši Gospodovi.‹«

The LORD will save me. Therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments 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 said, "Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it for a poultice on the boil, and he shall recover."

22 Ezekíja je tudi rekel: »Kaj je znamenje, da bom šel gor, h Gospodovi hiši?«

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