이사야 38

1그즈음에 히스기야가 병들어 죽게 되니 아모스의 아들 선지자 이사야가 나아와 그에게 이르되 여호와께서 이같이 말씀하시기를 너는 네 집에 유언하라 네가 죽고 살지 못하리라 하셨나이다 2히스기야가 얼굴을 벽으로 향하고 여호와께 기도하여 3가로되 여호와여 구하오니 내가 주의 앞에서 진실과 전심으로 행하며 주의 목전에서 선하게 행한 것을 추억하옵소서 하고 심히 통곡하니 4이에 여호와의 말씀이 이사야에게 임하니라 가라사대 5너는 가서 히스기야에게 이르기를 네 조상 다윗의 하나님 여호와께서 이같이 말씀하시기를 내가 네 기도를 들었고 네 눈물을 보았노라 내가 네 수한에 십오 년을 더하고 6너와 이 성을 앗수르 왕의 손에서 건져내겠고 내가 또 이 성을 보호하리라 7나 여호와가 말한 것을 네게 이룰 증거로 이 징조를 네게 주리라 8보라 아하스의 일영표에 나아갔던 해 그림자를 뒤로 십 도를 물러가게 하리라 하셨다 하라 하시더니 이에 일영표에 나아갔던 해의 그림자가 십 도를 물러가니라 9유다 왕 히스기야가 병들었다가 그 병이 나을 때에 기록한 글이 이러하니라 10내가 말하기를 내가 중년에 음부의 문에 들어가고 여년을 빼앗기게 되리라 하였도다 11내가 또 말하기를 내가 다시는 여호와를 뵈옵지 못하리니 생존 세계에서 다시는 여호와를 뵈옵지 못하겠고 내가 세상 거민 중에서 한 사람도 다시는 보지 못하리라 하였도다 12나의 거처는 목자의 장막을 걷음 같이 나를 떠나 옮겼고 내가 내 생명을 말기를 직공이 베를 걷어 말음 같이 하였도다 주께서 나를 틀에서 끊으시리니 나의 명이 조석간에 마치리이다 13내가 아침까지 견디었사오나 주께서 사자 같이 나의 모든 뼈를 꺾으시오니 나의 명이 조석간에 마치리이다 14나는 제비 같이, 학 같이 지저귀며 비둘기 같이 슬피 울며 나의 눈이 쇠하도록 앙망하나이다 여호와여 내가 압제를 받사오니 나의 중보가 되옵소서 15주께서 내게 말씀하시고 또 친히 이루셨사오니 내가 무슨 말씀을 하오리이까 내 영혼의 고통을 인하여 내가 종신토록 각근히 행하리이다 16주여 사람의 사는 것이 이에 있고 내 심령의 생명도 온전히 거기 있사오니 원컨대 나를 치료하시며 나를 살려주옵소서 17보옵소서 내게 큰 고통을 더하신 것은 내게 평안을 주려 하심이라 주께서 나의 영혼을 사랑하사 멸망의 구덩이에서 건지셨고 나의 모든 죄는 주의 등 뒤에 던지셨나이다 18음부가 주께 사례하지 못하며 사망이 주를 찬양하지 못하며 구덩이에 들어간 자가 주의 신실을 바라지 못하되 19오직 산 자 곧 산 자는 오늘날 내가 하는 것과 같이 주께 감사하며 주의 신실을 아비가 그 자녀에게 알게 하리이다 20여호와께서 나를 구원하시리니 우리가 종신토록 여호와의 전에서 수금으로 나의 노래를 노래하리로다 21이사야는 이르기를 한 뭉치 무화과를 취하여 종처에 붙이면 왕이 나으리라 하였었고 22히스기야도 말하기를 내가 여호와의 전에 올라갈 징조가 무엇이뇨 하였었더라

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.’” 2Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to Yahweh, 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. 4Then Yahweh’s word came to Isaiah, saying, 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. 6I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city. 7This shall be the sign to you from Yahweh, that Yahweh will do this thing that he has spoken. 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.”’” 9The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and had recovered of his sickness. 10I said, “In the middle of my life I go into the gates of Sheol. I am deprived of the residue of my years.” 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. 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. 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. 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.” 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. 16Lord, men live by these things; and my spirit finds life in all of them: you restore me, and cause me to live. 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. 18For Sheol can’t praise you. Death can’t celebrate you. Those who go down into the pit can’t hope for your truth. 19The living, the living, he shall praise you, as I do this day. The father shall make known your truth to the children. 20Yahweh will save me. Therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments all the days of our life in Yahweh’s house. 21Now Isaiah had said, “Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it for a poultice on the boil, and he shall recover.” 22Hezekiah also had said, “What is the sign that I will go up to Yahweh’s house?”

1In die dagen werd Hizkia krank tot stervens toe; en de profeet Jesaja, de zoon van Amoz, kwam tot hem, en zeide tot hem: Alzo zegt de HEERE: Geef bevel aan uw huis; want gij zult sterven, en niet leven. 2Toen keerde Hizkia zijn aangezicht om naar den wand, en hij bad tot den HEERE. 3En hij zeide: Och HEERE, gedenk toch, dat ik voor Uw aangezicht in waarheid en met een volkomen hart gewandeld, en wat goed in Uw ogen is, gedaan heb. En Hizkia weende gans zeer. 4Toen geschiedde het woord des HEEREN tot Jesaja, zeggende: 5Ga henen, en zeg tot Hizkia: Zo zegt de HEERE, de God van uw vader David: Ik heb uw gebed gehoord, Ik heb uw tranen gezien; zie, Ik zal vijftien jaren tot uw dagen toedoen; 6En Ik zal u uit de hand des konings van Assyrie verlossen, mitsgaders deze stad; en Ik zal deze stad beschermen. 7En dit zal u een teken zijn van den HEERE, dat de HEERE het woord, dat Hij gesproken heeft, doen zal: 8Zie, Ik zal de schaduw der graden, die met de zon in de graden van Achaz' zonnewijzer nederwaarts gegaan is, tien graden achterwaarts doen keren. Dies is de zon tien graden teruggekeerd, in de graden, die zij nederwaarts gegaan was. 9Dit is het schrift van Hizkia, koning van Juda, toen hij ziek geweest en van zijn ziekte genezen was. 10Ik zeide: Vanwege de afsnijding mijner dagen, zal ik tot de poorten des grafs heengaan, ik word beroofd van het overige mijner jaren. 11Ik zeide: Ik zal den HEERE niet meer zien, den HEERE, in het land der levenden; ik zal de mensen niet meer aanschouwen met de inwoners der wereld. 12Mijn levenstijd is weggetogen, en van mij weggevoerd gelijk eens herders hut; ik heb mijn leven afgesneden, gelijk een wever zijn web; Hij zal mij afsnijden, als van den drom; van den dag tot den nacht zult Gij mij ten einde gebracht hebben. 13Ik stelde mij voor tot den morgenstond toe; gelijk een leeuw, alzo zal Hij al mijn beenderen breken; van den dag tot den nacht, zult Gij mij ten einde gebracht hebben. 14Gelijk een kraan of zwaluw, alzo piepte ik; ik kirde als een duif; mijn ogen verhieven zich omhoog; o HEERE! ik word onderdrukt, wees Gij mijn Borg. 15Wat zal ik spreken? Gelijk Hij het mij heeft toegezegd, alzo heeft Hij het gedaan; ik zal nu al zoetjes voorttreden al mijn jaren, vanwege de bitterheid mijner ziel. 16Heere, bij deze dingen leeft men, en in dit alles is het leven van mijn geest; want Gij hebt mij gezond gemaakt en mij genezen. 17Zie, in vrede is mij de bitterheid bitter geweest; maar Gij hebt mijn ziel liefelijk omhelsd, dat zij in de groeve der vertering niet kwame; want Gij hebt al mijn zonden achter Uw rug geworpen. 18Want het graf zal U niet loven, de dood zal U niet prijzen; die in den kuil nederdalen, zullen op Uw waarheid niet hopen. 19De levende, de levende, die zal U loven, gelijk ik heden doe; de vader zal den kinderen Uw waarheid bekend maken. 20De HEERE was gereed om mij te verlossen; daarom zullen wij op mijn snarenspel spelen; al de dagen onzes levens, in het huis des HEEREN. 21Jesaja nu had gezegd: Laat men nemen een klomp vijgen, en tot een pleister op het gezwel maken, en hij zal genezen. 22En Hizkia had gezegd: Welk zal het teken zijn, dat ik ten huize des HEEREN zal opgaan?
