¹Neil päevil jäi Hiskija haigeks ja oli suremas. Ja prohvet Jesaja, Aamotsi poeg, tuli ta juurde ning ütles temale: 'Nõnda ütleb Issand: Sea oma elumaja asjad korda, sest sa sured ega saa terveks!'

¹In those days was Hezekiah sick and near death. Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him, and said to him, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Set your house in order, for you will die, and not live.’”

²Siis Hiskija pööras oma näo seina poole ja palus Issandat

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

³ning ütles: 'Oh Issand, meenuta ometi, kuidas ma sinu ees olen elanud ustavuses ja siira südamega ja olen teinud, mis sinu silmis hea on!' Ja Hiskija nuttis kibedasti.

³and said, “Remember now, Yahweh, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight.” Hezekiah wept bitterly.

⁴Aga Jesajale tuli Issanda sõna, kes ütles:

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

⁵'Mine ja ütle Hiskijale: Nõnda ütleb Issand, su isa Taaveti Jumal: Ma olen kuulnud su palvet, ma olen näinud su silmavett. Vaata, ma lisan su elupäevadele viisteist aastat

⁵“Go, and tell Hezekiah, ‘Thus says Yahweh, the God of David your father, “I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Behold, I will add fifteen years to your life.

⁶ja ma päästan sinu ja selle linna Assuri kuninga pihust ning kaitsen seda linna.

⁶I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.

⁷Ja see olgu sulle märgiks Issandalt, et Issand teeb, nagu ta on öelnud:

⁷This shall be the sign to you from Yahweh, that Yahweh will do this thing that he has spoken.

⁸Vaata, ma lasen varjul, mis Aahase päikesekellal on laskunud koos päikesega, kümme pügalat tagasi minna.' Ja päike läkski päikesekellal tagasi need kümme pügalat, mis ta oli laskunud.

⁸Behold, I will cause the shadow on the sundial, which has gone down on the sundial of Ahaz with the sun, to return backward ten steps. So the sun returned ten steps on the sundial on which it had gone down.”’”

⁹Juuda kuninga Hiskija tänulaul pärast haigusest tervenemist:

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

¹⁰'Ma ütlesin iseeneses: Oma elupäevade poolel teel pean ma minema surmavalla väravaisse; minult on röövitud mu ülejäänud aastad.

¹⁰I said, “In the middle of my life I go into the gates of Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. . I am deprived of the residue of my years.”

¹¹Ma mõtlesin: Ma ei saa näha Issandat, Issandat elavate maal, ei enam vaadata inimest maailma elanike keskel.

¹¹I said, “I won’t see Yah, Yah in the land of the living. I will see man no more with the inhabitants of the world.

¹²Mu telklaager kistakse üles ja keeratakse minu käest rulli otsekui karjase telk; ma rullin nagu kangur oma elu kokku, mind lõigatakse lõime küljest. Enne kui päev jõuab õhtule, teed sa mulle lõpu.

¹²My dwelling is removed, and is carried away from me like 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 you will make an end of me.

¹³Ma ootasin hommikuni - otsekui murraks lõvi, nõnda murti kõik mu luud-liikmed. Enne kui päev jõuab õhtule, teed sa mulle lõpu.

¹³I waited patiently until morning. He breaks all my bones like a lion. From day even to night you will make an end of me.

¹⁴Nagu pääsuke või rästas, nõnda ma häälitsesin, kudrutasin otsekui tuvi. Mu silmad väsisid kõrgusesse vaadates: Issand, ma olen rõhutud, astu mulle appi!

¹⁴I chattered like a swallow or a crane. I moaned like a dove. My eyes weaken looking upward. Lord, I am oppressed. Be my security.”

¹⁵Mis oleks mul rääkida ja temale öelda? Tema ju tegi seda! Ma kõnnin tasakesi kõik oma aastad oma hinge kibeduse pärast.

¹⁵What will I say? He has both spoken to me, and himself has done it. I will walk carefully all my years because of the anguish of my soul.

¹⁶Issand, nõndamoodi jäädakse elama ja selles kõiges on mu vaimu elu: sina teed mind terveks ja hoiad mind elus.

¹⁶Lord, men live by these things; and my spirit finds life in all of them: you restore me, and cause me to live.

¹⁷Vaata, mu suur kibedus muutus rahuks: sina kiindusid mu hinge hukatuse augus, sest sa heitsid kõik mu patud oma selja taha.

¹⁷Behold, for peace I had great anguish, but you have in love for my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption; for you have cast all my sins behind your back.

¹⁸Sest surmavald ei kiida sind, surm ei ülista sind, hauda vajunud ei looda su ustavuse peale.

¹⁸For Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. can’t praise you. Death can’t celebrate you. Those who go down into the pit can’t hope for your truth.

¹⁹Elav, ainult elav kiidab sind, nõnda nagu minagi teen täna: isa kuulutab lastele sinu ustavust.

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

²⁰Issand oli valmis mind päästma, seepärast mängigem mu keelpillidel kõik oma elupäevad Issanda kojas!'

²⁰Yahweh will save me. Therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of Yahweh.

²¹Jesaja oli öelnud: 'Tooge viigimarjakakk ja asetage paisele, et ta saaks terveks!'

²¹Now Isaiah had said, “Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it for a poultice on the boil, and he shall recover.”

²²Ja Hiskija oli küsinud: 'Mis on märgiks, et ma võin minna Issanda kotta?'

²²Hezekiah also had said, “What is the sign that I will go up to the house of Yahweh?”
