1 And it came to pass at that time, [that] Ezekias was sick even to death. And Esaias the prophet the son of Amos came to him, and said to him, Thus saith the Lord, Give orders concerning thy house: for thou shalt die, and not live.
1 EN aquellos días cayó Ezechîas enfermo para morir. Y vino á él Isaías profeta, hijo de Amoz, y díjole: Jehová dice así: Ordena tu casa, porque tú morirás, y no vivirás.
2 And Ezekias turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying,
2 Entonces volvió Ezechîas su rostro á la pared, é hizo oración á Jehová,
3 Remember, O Lord, how I have walked before thee in truth, with a true heart, and have done that which was pleasing in thy sight. And Ezekias wept bitterly.
3 Y dijo: Oh Jehová, ruégote te acuerdes ahora que he andado delante de ti en verdad y con íntegro corazón, y que he hecho lo que ha sido agradable delante de tus ojos. Y lloró Ezechîas con gran lloro.
4 And the word of the Lord came to Esaias, saying, Go, and say to Ezekias,
4 Entonces fué palabra de Jehová á Isaías, diciendo:
5 Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, and seen thy tears: behold, I [will] add to thy time fifteen years.
5 Ve, y di á Ezechîas: Jehová Dios de David tu padre dice así: Tu oración he oído, y visto tus lágrimas: he aquí que yo añado á tus días quince años.
6 And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians: and I will defend this city.
6 Y te libraré, y á esta ciudad, de mano del rey de Asiria; y á esta ciudad ampararé.
7 And this [shall be] a sign to thee from the Lord, that God will do this thing;
7 Y esto te será señal de parte de Jehová, que Jehová hará esto que ha dicho:
8 behold, I will turn back the shadow of the degrees [of the dial] by which ten degrees on the house of thy father the sun has gone down—I will turn back the sun the ten degrees; so the sun went back the ten degrees by which the shadow had gone down.
8 He aquí que yo vuelvo atrás la sombra de los grados, que ha descendido en el reloj de Achâz por el sol, diez grados. Y el sol fué tornado diez grados atrás, por los cuales había ya descendido.
9 The Prayer of Ezekias king of Judea, when he had been sick, and was recovered from his sickness.
9 Escritura de Ezechîas rey de Judá, de cuando enfermó y sanó de su enfermedad.
10 I said in the end of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I shall part with the remainder of my years.
10 Yo dije: En el medio de mis días iré á las puertas del sepulcro: privado soy del resto de mis años.
11 I said, I shall no more at all see the salvation of God in the land of the living: I shall no more at all see the salvation of Israel on the earth: I shall no more at all see man.
11 Dije: No veré á JAH, á JAH en la tierra de los que viven: ya no veré más hombre con los moradores del mundo.
12 [My life] has failed from among my kindred: I have parted with the remainder of my life: it has gone forth and departed from me, as one that having pitched a tent takes it down [again]: my breath was with me as a weaver's web, when she that weaves draws nigh to cut off [the] thread.
12 Mi morada ha sido movida y traspasada de mí, como tienda de pastor. Como el tejedor corté mi vida; cortaráme con la enfermedad; me consumirás entre el día y la noche.
13 In that day I was given up as to a lion until the morning: so has he broken all my bones: for I was so given up from day [even] to night.
13 Contaba yo hasta la mañana. Como un león molió todos mis huesos: de la mañana á la noche me acabarás.
14 As a swallow, so will I cry, and as a dove, so do I mourn: for mine eyes have failed with looking to the height of heaven to the Lord, who has delivered me,
14 Como la grulla y como la golondrina me quejaba; gemía como la paloma: alzaba en alto mis ojos: Jehová, violencia padezco; confórtame.
15 and removed the sorrow of my soul.
15 ¿Qué diré? El que me lo dijo, él mismo lo ha hecho. Andaré recapacitando en la amargura de mi alma todos los años de mi vida.
16 [Yea], O Lord, for it was told thee concerning this; and thou hast revived my breath; and I am comforted, and live.
16 Oh Señor, sobre ellos vivirán [tus piedades], y á todos [diré consistir] en ellas la vida de mi espíritu; pues tú me restablecerás, y me harás que viva.
17 For thou hast chosen my soul, that it should not perish: and thou hast cast all [my] sins behind me.
17 He aquí amargura grande me [sobrevino] en la paz: mas á ti plugo librar mi vida del hoyo de corrupción: porque echaste tras tus espaldas todos mis pecados.
18 For they that are in the grave shall not praise thee, neither shall the dead bless thee, neither shall they that are in Hades hope for thy mercy.
18 Porque el sepulcro no te celebrará, ni te alabará la muerte; ni los que descienden al hoyo esperarán tu verdad.
19 The living shall bless thee, as I also [do]: for from this day shall I beget children, who shall declare thy righteousness,
19 El que vive, el que vive, éste te confesará, como yo hoy: el padre hará notoria tu verdad á los hijos.
20 O God of my salvation; and I will not cease blessing thee with the psaltery all the days of my life before the house of God.
20 Jehová para salvarme; por tanto cantaremos nuestros salmos en la casa de Jehová todos los días de nuestra vida.
21 Now Esaias had said to Ezekias; Take a cake of figs, and mash them, and apply them as a plaister, and thou shalt be well.
21 Y había dicho Isaías: Tomen masa de higos, y pónganla en la llaga, y sanará.
22 And Ezekias said, This is a sign to Ezekias, that I shall go up to the house of God.
22 Había asimismo dicho Ezechîas: ¿Qué señal tendré de que he de subir á la casa de Jehová?
