Isaiah 38

1 In those days Hezekiah was ill and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him, and said to him, The Lord says, Put your house in order; for your death is near.

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.

2 And Hezekiah, turning his face to the wall, made his prayer to the Lord, saying,

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

3 O Lord, keep in mind how I have been true to you with all my heart, and have done what is good in your eyes. And Hezekiah gave way to bitter weeping.

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.

4 Then the word of the Lord came to Isaiah, saying,

Tada doðe rijeè Gospodnja Isaiji govoreæi:

5 Go to Hezekiah, and say, The Lord, the God of David, your father, says, Your prayer has come to my ears, and I have seen your weeping: see, I will give you fifteen more years of life.

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.

6 And I will keep you and this town safe from the hands of the king of Assyria: and I will keep watch over this town.

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

7 And Isaiah said, This is the sign the Lord will give you, that he will do what he has said:

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

8 See, I will make the shade which has gone down on the steps of Ahaz with the sun, go back ten steps. So the shade went back the ten steps by which it had gone down.

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.

9 The writing of Hezekiah, king of Judah, after he had been ill, and had got better from his disease.

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

10 I said, In the quiet of my days I am going down into the underworld: the rest of my years are being taken away from me. (Sheol h7585)

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

11 I said, I will not see the Lord, even the Lord in the land of the living: I will not see man again or those living in the world.

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

12 My resting-place is pulled up and taken away from me like a herdsman's tent: my life is rolled up like a linen-worker's thread; I am cut off from the cloth on the frame: from day even to night you give me up to pain.

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.

13 I am crying out with pain till the morning; it is as if a lion was crushing all my bones.

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

14 I make cries like a bird; I give out sounds of grief like a dove: my eyes are looking up with desire; O Lord, I am crushed, take up my cause.

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

15 What am I to say? seeing that it is he who has done it: all my time of sleeping I am turning from side to side without rest.

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

16 O Lord, for this cause I am waiting for you, give rest to my spirit: make me well again, and let me come back to life.

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

17 See, in place of peace my soul had bitter sorrow. but you have kept back my soul from the underworld; for you have put all my sins out of your memory.

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.

18 For the underworld is not able to give you praise, death gives you no honour: for those who go down into the underworld there is no hope in your mercy. (Sheol h7585)

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

19 The living, the living man, he will give you praise, as I do this day: the father will give the story of your mercy to his children.

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

20 O Lord, quickly be my saviour; so we will make my songs to corded instruments all the days of our lives in the house of the Lord.

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

21 And Isaiah said, Let them take a cake of figs, and put it on the diseased place, and he will get well.

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

22 And Hezekiah said, What is the sign that I will go up to the house of the Lord?

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