Isaiah 38
1 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.”
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 Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and he prayed to the Lord.
Ezekija se okrenu zidu i ovako se pomoli Jahvi:
3 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.
“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 Isaiah, saying:
Tada dođe riječ Jahvina Izaiji:
5 “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.
“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 rescue you and this city from the hand of the king of the Assyrians, and I will protect it.
Izbavit ću tebe i ovaj grad iz ruku asirskoga kralja. Jest, zakrilit ću ovaj grad!'”
7 And this will be a sign for you from the Lord, that the Lord will do this word, which he has spoken:
Izaija odgovori: “Evo ti znaka od Jahve da će učiniti što je rekao:
8 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.
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 writing of Hezekiah, the king of Judah, after he had fallen ill and had recovered from his sickness:
Pjesan Ezekije, kralja judejskoga, kada se razbolio pa ozdravio od svoje bolesti:
10 “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)
“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 will not see the Lord God in the land of the living. I will no longer behold man, nor the habitation of rest.
Govorio sam: Vidjet više neću Jahve na zemlji živih, vidjet više neću nikoga od stanovnika ovog svijeta.
12 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.
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 I hoped, even until morning. Like a lion, so has he crushed all my bones. From morning until evening, you have marked my limits.
vičem sve do jutra; kao što lav mrska kosti moje, od jutra do noći skončat ćeš me.
14 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.
Poput laste ja pijučem, zapomažem kao golubica, uzgor mi se okreću oči, zauzmi se, jamči za me.
15 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.
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 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.
Gospodine, za tebe živjet će srce moje i živjet će moj duh. Ti ćeš me izliječiti i vratiti mi život,
17 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.
bolest će mi se pretvorit' u zdravlje. Ti si spasio dušu moju od jame uništenja, za leđa si bacio sve moje grijehe.
18 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)
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, the living, these will give praise to you, as I also do this day! The father will make the truth known to the sons.
Živi, živi, jedino on te slavi kao ja danas. Otac naučava sinovima tvoju vjernost.
20 O Lord, save me! And we will sing our psalms, all the days of our life, in the house of the Lord.”
U pomoć mi, Jahve priteci, i mi ćemo pjevati uz harfe sve dane svojega života pred Hramom Jahvinim.”
21 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.
Izaija naloži: “Donesite oblog od smokava, privijte mu ga na čir i on će ozdraviti.”
22 And Hezekiah said, “What will be the sign that I may go up to the house of the Lord?”
Ezekija upita: “Po kojem ću znaku prepoznati da ću uzići u Dom Jahvin?”
