¹In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.

¹U 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.'"

²Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD,

²Ezekija se okrenu zidu i ovako se pomoli Jahvi:

³And said, Remember now, O LORD, 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 sore.

³"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.

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

⁴Tada dođe riječ Jahvina Izaiji:

⁵Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years.

⁵"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.

⁶And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city.

⁶Izbavit ću tebe i ovaj grad iz ruku asirskoga kralja. Jest, zakrilit ću ovaj grad!'"

⁷And this shall be a sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken;

⁷Izaija odgovori: "Evo ti znaka od Jahve da će učiniti što je rekao:

⁸Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down.

⁸sjenu 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.

⁹The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness:

⁹Pjesan Ezekije, kralja judejskoga, kada se razbolio pa ozdravio od svoje bolesti:

¹⁰I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the residue of my years.

¹⁰"Govorio sam: U podne dana svojih ja moram otići. Na vratima Podzemlja mjesto mi je dano za ostatak mojih ljeta.

¹¹I said, I shall not see the LORD, even the LORD, in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world.

¹¹Govorio sam: Vidjet više neću Jahve na zemlji živih, vidjet više neću nikoga od stanovnika ovog svijeta.

¹²Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd's tent: I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with pining sickness: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.

¹²Stan 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,

¹³I reckoned till morning, that, as a lion, so will he break all my bones: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.

¹³vičem sve do jutra; kao što lav mrska kosti moje, od jutra do noći skončat ćeš me.

¹⁴Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail with looking upward: O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me.

¹⁴Poput laste ja pijučem, zapomažem kao golubica, uzgor mi se okreću oči, zauzmi se, jamči za me.

¹⁵What 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.

¹⁵Kako ću mu govoriti i što ću mu reći? TÓa on je koji djeluje. Slavit ću te sva ljeta svoja, premda s gorčinom u duši.

¹⁶O LORD, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live.

¹⁶Gospodine, za tebe živjet će srce moje i živjet će moj duh. Ti ćeš me izliječiti i vratiti mi život,

¹⁷Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.

¹⁷bolest će mi se pretvorit' u zdravlje. Ti si spasio dušu moju od jame uništenja, za leđa si bacio sve moje grijehe.

¹⁸For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.

¹⁸Jer Podzemlje ne slavi te, ne hvali te Smrt; oni koji padnu u rupu u tvoju se vjernost više ne uzdaju.

¹⁹The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.

¹⁹Živi, živi, jedino on te slavi kao ja danas. Otac naučava sinovima tvoju vjernost.

²⁰The LORD was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD.

²⁰U pomoć mi, Jahve priteci, i mi ćemo pjevati uz harfe sve dane svojega života pred Hramom Jahvinim."

²¹For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaister upon the boil, and he shall recover.

²¹Izaija naloži: "Donesite oblog od smokava, privijte mu ga na čir i on će ozdraviti."

²²Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD?

²²Ezekija upita: "Po kojem ću znaku prepoznati da ću uzići u Dom Jahvin?"
