¹V tistih dneh zboli Ezekija na smrt. In pride k njemu Izaija, sin Amozov, prorok, ter mu reče: Tako pravi GOSPOD: Uredi hišo svojo, kajti v kratkem umreš in ne boš živel.

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.’”

²Tedaj obrne Ezekija obličje svoje v steno in moli h GOSPODU

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

³in reče: Ah, GOSPOD, spomni se, prosim, da sem neprestano hodil pred teboj v resnici in z nerazdeljenim srcem in delal, kar je dobro v tvojih očeh! In jokal je Ezekija, silno jokal.

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.

⁴Tedaj pride beseda GOSPODOVA Izaiju, rekoč:

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

⁵Pojdi in reci Ezekiju: Tako pravi GOSPOD, Bog očeta tvojega Davida: Čul sem molitev tvojo, solze tvoje sem videl. Glej, dnem tvojim pridenem petnajst let.

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.

⁶In iz roke kralja asirskega otmem tebe in to mesto, in branil bom to mesto.

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

⁷In to ti bodi znamenje od GOSPODA, da stori GOSPOD tisto, kar je govoril:

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

⁸glej, onih stopinj senco, ki je šla doli po solnčni uri Ahazovi, pomaknem za deset stopinj nazaj. In vrnilo se je solnce za deset stopinj po solnčnem kazalniku, po katerem je bilo šlo doli.

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.”’”

⁹Spis Ezekija, kralja Judovega, ko je bil zbolel in ozdravel bolezni svoje:

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

¹⁰Rekel sem: V pokojnih mi dnevih moram stopiti v vrata šeola; oropan sem ostanka svojih let.

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.”

¹¹Dejal sem: Ne bom videl GOSPODA, GOSPODA v deželi živečih; ondi, kjer prebivajo mrtvi, ne bom več ugledal človeka.

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.

¹²Dom moj je razrušen in ga nosijo od mene kakor pastirski šator. Dotkal sem kakor tkalec življenje svoje; od statev me je odrezal. Od dne do noči me boš končal!

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.

¹³Tolažil sem se do jutra – kakor lev je zdrobil vse kosti moje. Od dne do noči me boš končal!

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.

¹⁴Kakor lastovka in žerjav sem cvičal, grulil sem kakor golob. Koprneče so mi zrle oči kvišku: O GOSPOD, v stiski sem, bodi mi porok!

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.”

¹⁵Kaj naj rečem? On mi je obljubil in On je tudi izpolnil. Tiho bom hodil vsa leta svoja zaradi bridkosti duše svoje.

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.

¹⁶O Gospod, ob tem žive ljudje in vsekakor je v tem življenje duha mojega; in me ozdraviš in ohraniš v življenju.

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

¹⁷Glej, v mir mi je bilo, da me je zadela bridkost prebridka; ali ti si v ljubezni potegnil dušo mojo iz jame pogube, kajti vse grehe moje si vrgel za hrbet svoj.

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.

¹⁸Saj šeol te ne slavi, smrt te ne hvali; ni upanja v zvestobo tvojo njim, ki se pogrezajo v jamo.

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.

¹⁹Živeči, živeči te bo slavil kakor jaz danes; oče bo sinom oznanjal zvestobo tvojo.

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

²⁰GOSPOD je bil pripravljen rešiti me, zato bomo pesmi moje s strunami peli, dokler živimo, v hiši GOSPODOVI!

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

²¹Izaija pa je bil velel, naj vzemo gručo smokev in jo polože na ulje, in ozdravi.Ezekija pa je vprašal: Kaj je znamenje, da pojdem gori v hišo GOSPODOVO?

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

²²Ezekija pa je vprašal: Kaj je znamenje, da pojdem gori v hišo GOSPODOVO?

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