Isaias 38

1Nang mga araw na yaon ay may sakit na ikamamatay si Ezechias. At si Isaias na propeta na anak ni Amoz ay naparoon sa kaniya, at nagsabi sa kaniya, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Ayusin mo ang iyong sangbahayan; sapagka't ikaw ay mamamatay, at hindi mabubuhay. 2Nang magkagayo'y ipinihit ni Ezechias ang kaniyang mukha sa panig, at nanalangin sa Panginoon, 3At nagsabi, Idinadalangin ko sa iyo; Oh Panginoon, na iyong alalahanin, kung paanong ako'y lumakad sa harap mo sa katotohanan, at may dalisay na puso, at gumawa ng mabuti sa iyong paningin. At si Ezechias ay umiyak ng di kawasa. 4Nang magkagayo'y dumating ang salita ng Panginoon kay Isaias, na nagsasabi, 5Ikaw ay yumaon, at sabihin mo kay Ezechias, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, ng Dios ni David na iyong magulang, Aking dininig ang iyong panalangin, aking nakita ang iyong mga luha: narito, aking idaragdag sa iyong mga kaarawan ang labing limang taon. 6At aking ililigtas ikaw at ang bayang ito sa kamay ng hari sa Asiria: at aking ipagsasanggalang ang bayang ito. 7At ito ang magiging pinaka tanda sa iyo na mula sa Panginoon, na gagawin ng Panginoon ang bagay na ito na kaniyang sinalita, 8Narito, aking ipauurong ang anino sa mga baytang, ng sangpung baytang, na aninong pinababa sa mga baytang ni Ahaz sa pamamagitan ng araw, Sa gayo'y umurong ang araw ng sangpung baytang sa mga baytang na binabaan. 9Ang sulat ni Ezechias na hari sa Juda, nang siya'y magkasakit, at gumaling sa kaniyang sakit. 10Aking sinabi, Sa katanghalian ng aking mga kaarawan ay papasok ako sa mga pintuan ng Sheol: Ako'y nabawahan sa nalalabi ng aking mga taon. 11Aking sinabi, hindi ko makikita ang Panginoon, ang Panginoon sa lupain ng buhay: Hindi ko na makikita pa ang tao, na kasama ng mga nananahan sa sanglibutan. 12Ang tirahan ko'y inaalis, at dinadala na gaya ng tolda ng pastor: Aking pinupulon ang aking buhay, na gaya ng pagpupulon ng manghahabi; kaniyang ihihiwalay ako sa habihan: Mula sa araw hanggang sa kinagabihan ay tatapusin mo ako. 13Ako'y tumigil hanggang sa kinaumagahan; katulad ng leon, gayon niya binabali ang lahat kong mga buto: Mula sa araw hanggang sa kinagabihan ay tatapusin mo ako. 14Gaya ng langaylangayan o ng tagak, humihibik ako; Ako'y tumangis na parang kalapati: ang aking mga mata ay nangangalumata sa pagtingala; Oh Panginoon, ako'y napipighati, ikaw nawa'y maging tangulan sa akin. 15Anong aking sasabihin? siya'y nagsalita sa akin, at kaniya namang ginawa: Ako'y yayaong marahan lahat kong taon, dahil sa paghihirap ng aking kaluluwa. 16Oh Panginoon, sa pamamagitan ng mga bagay na ito, nabubuhay ang mga tao; At buong nasa ilalim niyan ang buhay ng aking diwa: Kaya't pagalingin mo ako, at ako'y iyong buhayin. 17Narito, sa aking ikapapayapa ay nagtamo ako ng malaking paghihirap: Nguni't ikaw, sa pagibig mo sa aking kaluluwa ay iyong iniligtas sa hukay ng kabulukan; Sapagka't iyong itinapon ang lahat ng aking mga kasalanan sa iyong likuran. 18Sapagka't hindi ka maaring purihin ng Sheol, hindi ka maaring ipagdiwang ng kamatayan! Silang nagsisibaba sa hukay ay hindi makaaasa sa iyong katotohanan. 19Ang buhay, ang buhay, siya'y pupuri sa iyo, gaya ng ginagawa ko sa araw na ito: Ang ama sa mga anak ay magpapatalastas ng iyong katotohanan. 20Ang Panginoon ay handa upang iligtas ako: Kaya't aming aawitin ang aming mga awit sa mga panugtog na kawad, Lahat ng kaarawan ng aming buhay sa bahay ng Panginoon. 21Sinabi nga ni Isaias, Magsikuha sila ng isang binilong igos, at ilagay na pinakatapal sa bukol, at siya'y gagaling. 22Sinabi rin ni Ezechias, Ano ang tanda na ako'y sasampa sa bahay ng Panginoon?

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?
