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."

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.’”

²Hizkia berpaling ke tembok, lalu berdoa,

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

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.

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.

⁴Sesudah Yesaya pergi, TUHAN menyuruh dia

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.”’”

⁹Sesudah Hizkia sembuh, ia menulis lagu pujian ini:

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

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

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.”

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.”

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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