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

¹Sekitar waktu itu Hizkia jatuh sakit dan hampir saja meninggal. Nabi Yesaya anak Amos, mengunjungi dia dan berkata, "TUHAN berpesan supaya Baginda membereskan semua urusan, sebab Baginda tak akan sembuh. Tidak lama lagi Baginda akan meninggal."

²Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto Jehovah,

²Hizkia berpaling ke tembok, lalu berdoa,

³and said, Remember now, O Jehovah, 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"TUHAN, ingatlah bahwa aku ini sudah mengabdi kepada-Mu dengan setia dan tulus hati. Aku selalu berusaha menuruti kemauan-Mu." Lalu Hizkia menangis dengan pilu.

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

⁴Sesudah Yesaya pergi, TUHAN menyuruh dia

⁵Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith Jehovah, 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.

⁵kembali kepada Hizkia dan menyampaikan pesan ini, "Aku, TUHAN, Allah yang disembah Daud leluhurmu, telah mendengar doamu dan melihat air matamu. Aku akan menambah umurmu dengan lima belas tahun lagi.

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

⁶Engkau dan kota Yerusalem akan Kulepaskan dari raja Asyur. Kota ini akan tetap Kulindungi."

⁷And this shall be the sign unto thee from Jehovah, that Jehovah will do this thing that he hath spoken:

⁷Yesaya menjawab, "Inilah tanda yang diberikan TUHAN kepada Baginda bahwa Ia menepati janji-Nya.

⁸behold, I will cause the shadow on the steps, which is gone down on the dial of Ahaz with the sun, to return backward ten steps. So the sun returned ten steps on the dial whereon it was gone down.

⁸Pada penunjuk jam matahari buatan Raja Ahas, TUHAN akan membuat bayangannya mundur sepuluh garis." Maka mundurlah bayangan itu sepuluh garis.

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

⁹Sesudah Hizkia sembuh, ia menulis lagu pujian ini:

¹⁰I said, In the noontide of my days I shall go into the gates of Sheol: I am deprived of the residue of my years.

¹⁰"Kataku, baru setengah umur aku harus pergi, mengakhiri sisa hidupku di dunia orang mati.

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

¹¹Kataku, aku takkan lagi memandang TUHAN di bumi, atau melihat manusia di dunia ini.

¹²My dwelling is removed, and is carried away from me as 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 wilt thou make an end of me.

¹²Nyawaku putus, sampailah ajalku, seperti kemah gembala yang dibongkar; seperti kain dipotong dari alat penenun; kusangka Allah akan mengakhiri hidupku.

¹³I quieted [myself] until morning; as a lion, so he breaketh all my bones: From day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.

¹³Sepanjang malam aku berteriak kesakitan, seolah-olah tulang-tulangku diremukkan seekor singa; kusangka Allah akan mengakhiri hidupku.

¹⁴Like a swallow [or] a crane, so did I chatter; I did moan as a dove; mine eyes fail [with looking] upward: O Lord, I am oppressed, be thou my surety.

¹⁴Suaraku makin redup dan lemah, seperti burung dara aku berkeluh kesah. Mataku letih karena menengadah ke langit, TUHAN, bebaskanlah aku dari kesusahan ini.

¹⁵What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done it: I shall go softly all my years because of the bitterness of my soul.

¹⁵Apa yang dapat kukatakan? Ini perbuatan TUHAN; aku tak dapat tidur karena kesedihan.

¹⁶O Lord, by these things men live; And wholly therein is the life of my spirit: Wherefore recover thou me, and make me to live.

¹⁶Ya TUHAN, berilah aku hidup oleh perkataan dan perbuatan-Mu, biarlah aku hidup bagi-Mu saja.

¹⁷Behold, [it was] for [my] peace [that] 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.

¹⁷Kepedihanku akan berubah menjadi ketentraman, Engkau menyelamatkan aku dari bahaya; dosa-dosaku telah Kauampuni semuanya.

¹⁸For Sheol cannot praise thee, death cannot celebrate thee: They that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.

¹⁸Di alam maut tak ada yang memuji Engkau, orang mati tak dapat mengharapkan kesetiaan-Mu.

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

¹⁹Hanya orang hidup yang memuji Engkau, seperti yang kulakukan hari ini. Orang tua menceritakan kepada anaknya betapa setianya Engkau, ya TUHAN.

²⁰Jehovah is [ready] to save me: Therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments All the days of our life in the house of Jehovah.

²⁰TUHAN, Engkau telah menyembuhkan aku, maka kami nyanyikan pujian di Rumah-Mu dengan memetik kecapi, sepanjang hidup kami."

²¹Now Isaiah had said, Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it for a plaster upon the boil, and he shall recover.

²¹Lalu Yesaya menyuruh orang melumatkan buah ara dan mengoleskannya pada bisul Hizkia supaya sembuh.

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

²²Raja Hizkia bertanya, "Apakah tandanya bahwa TUHAN akan menyembuhkan aku dan bahwa aku dapat pergi ke Rumah TUHAN lagi?"
