Esias 38
1 And it came to pass at that time, [that] Ezekias was sick even to death. And Esaias the prophet the son of Amos came to him, and said to him, Thus saith the Lord, Give orders concerning thy house: for thou shalt die, and not live.
U ono se vrijeme Ezekija razbolje nasmrt. Prorok Izaija, sin Amosov, dođe mu i reče: “Ovako veli Jahve: 'Uredi kuću svoju, jer ćeš umrijeti, nećeš ozdraviti.'”
2 And Ezekias turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying,
Ezekija se okrenu zidu i ovako se pomoli Jahvi:
3 Remember, O Lord, how I have walked before thee in truth, with a true heart, and have done that which was pleasing in thy sight. And Ezekias wept bitterly.
“Ah, Jahve, sjeti se da sam pred tobom hodio vjerno i poštena srca i učinio što je dobro u tvojim očima.” I Ezekija briznu u gorak plač.
4 And the word of the Lord came to Esaias, saying, Go, and say to Ezekias,
Tada dođe riječ Jahvina Izaiji:
5 Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, and seen thy tears: behold, I [will] add to thy time fifteen years.
“Idi i reci Ezekiji: Ovako kaže Jahve, Bog oca tvoga Davida: 'Uslišao sam tvoju molitvu, vidio tvoje suze. Izliječit ću te; za tri dana uzići ćeš u Dom Jahvin. Dodat ću tvome vijeku petnaest godina.
6 And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians: and I will defend this city.
Izbavit ću tebe i ovaj grad iz ruku asirskoga kralja. Jest, zakrilit ću ovaj grad!'”
7 And this [shall be] a sign to thee from the Lord, that God will do this thing;
Izaija odgovori: “Evo ti znaka od Jahve da će učiniti što je rekao:
8 behold, I will turn back the shadow of the degrees [of the dial] by which ten degrees on the house of thy father the sun has gone down—I will turn back the sun the ten degrees; so the sun went back the ten degrees by which the shadow had gone down.
sjenu koja je sišla po stupnjevima Ahazova sunčanika vratit ću za deset stupnjeva natrag.” I vrati se sunce deset stupnjeva natrag po stupnjevima po kojima bijaše već sišlo.
9 THE PRAYER OF EZEKIAS KING OF JUDEA, WHEN HE HAD BEEN SICK, AND WAS RECOVERED FROM HIS SICKNESS.
Pjesan Ezekije, kralja judejskoga, kada se razbolio pa ozdravio od svoje bolesti:
10 I said in the end of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I shall part with the remainder of my years. (Sheol h7585)
“Govorio sam: U podne dana svojih ja moram otići. Na vratima Podzemlja mjesto mi je dano za ostatak mojih ljeta. (Sheol h7585)
11 I said, I shall no more at all see the salvation of God in the land of the living: I shall no more at all see the salvation of Israel on the earth: I shall no more at all see man.
Govorio sam: Vidjet više neću Jahve na zemlji živih, vidjet više neću nikoga od stanovnika ovog svijeta.
12 [My life] has failed from among my kindred: I have parted with the remainder of my life: it has gone forth and departed from me, as one that having pitched a tent takes it down [again]: my breath was with me as a weaver's web, when she that weaves draws nigh to cut off [the] thread.
Stan je moj razvrgnut, bačen daleko, kao šator pastirski; poput tkalca moj si život namotao da bi me otkinuo od osnove. Od jutra do noći skončat ćeš me,
13 In that day I was given up as to a lion until the morning: so has he broken all my bones: for I was so given up from day [even] to night.
vičem sve do jutra; kao što lav mrska kosti moje, od jutra do noći skončat ćeš me.
14 As a swallow, so will I cry, and as a dove, so do I mourn: for mine eyes have failed with looking to the height of heaven to the Lord, who has delivered me, and removed the sorrow of my soul.
Poput laste ja pijučem, zapomažem kao golubica, uzgor mi se okreću oči, zauzmi se, jamči za me.
Kako ću mu govoriti i što ću mu reći? TÓa on je koji djeluje. Slavit ću te sva ljeta svoja, premda s gorčinom u duši.
16 [Yea], O Lord, for it was told thee concerning this; and thou hast revived my breath; and I am comforted, and live.
Gospodine, za tebe živjet će srce moje i živjet će moj duh. Ti ćeš me izliječiti i vratiti mi život,
17 For thou hast chosen my soul, that it should not perish: and thou hast cast all [my] sins behind me.
bolest će mi se pretvorit' u zdravlje. Ti si spasio dušu moju od jame uništenja, za leđa si bacio sve moje grijehe.
18 For they that are in the grave shall not praise thee, neither shall the dead bless thee, neither shall they that are in Hades hope for thy mercy. (Sheol h7585)
Jer Podzemlje ne slavi te, ne hvali te Smrt; oni koji padnu u rupu u tvoju se vjernost više ne uzdaju. (Sheol h7585)
19 The living shall bless thee, as I also [do]: for from this day shall I beget children, who shall declare thy righteousness,
Živi, živi, jedino on te slavi kao ja danas. Otac naučava sinovima tvoju vjernost.
20 O God of my salvation; and I will not cease blessing thee with the psaltery all the days of my life before the house of God.
U pomoć mi, Jahve priteci, i mi ćemo pjevati uz harfe sve dane svojega života pred Hramom Jahvinim.”
21 Now Esaias had said to Ezekias; Take a cake of figs, and mash them, and apply them as a plaster, and thou shalt be well.
Izaija naloži: “Donesite oblog od smokava, privijte mu ga na čir i on će ozdraviti.”
22 And Ezekias said, This is a sign to Ezekias, that I shall go up to the house of God.
Ezekija upita: “Po kojem ću znaku prepoznati da ću uzići u Dom Jahvin?”
