1 En aquellos días Ezequías enfermó y estuvo cerca de la muerte. El profeta Isaías, hijo de Amoz, fue a verlo y le dijo: El Señor dice: Pon tu casa en orden, porque tu muerte está cerca.
1 In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him, and said to him, “Yahweh says, ‘Set your house in order, for you will die, and not live.’”
2 Ezequías volvió el rostro hacia la pared y oró al Señor, diciendo:
2 Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to Yahweh,
3 Señor, recuerda que te he sido fiel con todo mi corazón y he hecho lo que es bueno ante tus ojos. Y Ezequías lloró amargamente.
3 and 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.” Then Hezekiah wept bitterly.
4 La palabra del Señor llegó a Isaías, diciendo:
4 Then Yahweh’s word came to Isaiah, saying,
5 Ve a Ezequías y dile: El Señor, el Dios de David, tu antepasado, dice: He oído tu oración y he visto tu llanto. Mira, te daré quince años más de vida.
5 “Go, and tell Hezekiah, ‘Yahweh, the God of David your father, says, “I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Behold, I will add fifteen years to your life.
6 Te protegeré a ti y a esta ciudad de las manos del rey de Asiria, y cuidaré de esta ciudad.
6 I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.
7 Isaías dijo: Esta es la señal que te dará el Señor de que cumplirá lo que ha dicho:
7 This shall be the sign to you from Yahweh, that Yahweh will do this thing that he has spoken.
8 Mira, haré que la sombra que ha bajado con el sol por los escalones de Acaz retroceda diez escalones. Así la sombra retrocedió los diez escalones que había bajado.
8 Behold, 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.
9 Escrito de Ezequías, rey de Judá, después de haber estado enfermo y haberse recuperado.
9 The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and had recovered of his sickness:
10 Yo dije: En la quietud de mis días bajo al lugar de los muertos; me están quitando el resto de mis años.
10 I said, “In the middle of my life I go into the gates of Sheol. I am deprived of the residue of my years.”
11 Dije: No veré al Señor, al Señor en la tierra de los vivos. No volveré a ver a los hombres ni a los que viven en el mundo.
11 I 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.
12 Mi lugar de descanso es arrancado y llevado lejos de mí, como la tienda de un pastor. Mi vida se enrolla como el hilo de un tejedor; soy cortado de la tela en el telar. Desde el día hasta la noche me entregas al dolor.
12 My dwelling is removed, and is carried away from me like a shepherd’s tent. I have rolled up my life like a weaver. He will cut me off from the loom. From day even to night you will make an end of me.
13 Grito de dolor hasta la mañana; es como si un león aplastara todos mis huesos.
13 I waited patiently until morning. He breaks all my bones like a lion. From day even to night you will make an end of me.
14 Grito como un ave y gimo de tristeza como una paloma. Mis ojos miran hacia arriba con deseo. Señor, estoy aplastado; defiende mi causa.
14 I chattered like a swallow or a crane. I moaned like a dove. My eyes weaken looking upward. Lord, I am oppressed. Be my security.”
15 ¿Qué puedo decir, si es él quien lo ha hecho? Durante todo el tiempo de dormir doy vueltas de un lado a otro, sin descanso.
15 What 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.
16 Señor, por eso te espero. Da descanso a mi espíritu; sáname y déjame volver a la vida.
16 Lord, men live by these things; and my spirit finds life in all of them. You restore me, and cause me to live.
17 Mira, en vez de paz mi alma tenía una tristeza amarga. Pero has librado mi alma del lugar de los muertos, porque has borrado de tu memoria todos mis pecados.
17 Behold, 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.
18 El lugar de los muertos no puede alabarte y la muerte no te honra. Los que bajan al lugar de los muertos no tienen esperanza en tu misericordia.
18 For Sheol can’t praise you. Death can’t celebrate you. Those who go down into the pit can’t hope for your truth.
19 El vivo, el hombre que vive, es quien te alaba, como yo hoy. El padre contará a sus hijos acerca de tu misericordia.
19 The living, the living, he shall praise you, as I do today. The father shall make known your truth to the children.
20 Señor, ven pronto a salvarme. Así cantaremos mis canciones con instrumentos de cuerda todos los días de nuestra vida en la casa del Señor.
20 Yahweh will save me. Therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments all the days of our life in Yahweh’s house.
21 Isaías dijo: Tomen una torta de higos y pónganla sobre la llaga, y él sanará.
21 Now Isaiah had said, “Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it for a poultice on the boil, and he shall recover.”
22 Ezequías dijo: ¿Cuál es la señal de que subiré a la casa del Señor?
22 Hezekiah also had said, “What is the sign that I will go up to Yahweh’s house?”
