1 In those days has Hezekiah been sick to death, and Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, comes to him and says to him, “Thus said YHWH: Give a charge to your house, for you [are] dying, and do 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 Hezekiah turns around his face to the wall, and prays to YHWH,
2 Entonces volvió Ezechîas su rostro á la pared, é hizo oración á Jehová,
3 and says, “Ah, now, O YHWH, please remember how I have habitually walked before You in truth, and with a perfect heart, and I have done that which [is] good in your eyes”; and Hezekiah weeps [with] a great weeping.
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 a word of YHWH is to Isaiah, saying,
4 Entonces fué palabra de Jehová á Isaías, diciendo:
5 “Go, and you have said to Hezekiah, Thus said YHWH, God of your father David: I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tear, behold, I am adding fifteen years to your days,
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 out of the hand of the king of Asshur I deliver you and this city, and have covered over this city.
6 Y te libraré, y á esta ciudad, de mano del rey de Asiria; y á esta ciudad ampararé.
7 And this [is] to you the sign from YHWH, that YHWH does this thing that He has spoken.
7 Y esto te será señal de parte de Jehová, que Jehová hará esto que ha dicho:
8 Behold, I am bringing back the shadow of the degrees that it has gone down on the degrees of Ahaz, by the sun, backward ten degrees”; and the sun turns back ten degrees in the degrees that it 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 A writing of Hezekiah king of Judah concerning his being sick when he revives from his sickness:
9 Escritura de Ezechîas rey de Judá, de cuando enfermó y sanó de su enfermedad.
10 “I said in the cutting off of my days, || I go to the gates of Sheol, || I have numbered the remnant 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 do not see YAH—YAH! In the land of the living, || I do not behold man anymore, || With the inhabitants of the world.
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 sojourning has departed, || And been removed from me as a shepherd’s tent, || I have drawn together, as a weaver, my life, || By weakness it cuts me off, || From day to night You end me.
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 I have set [Him] as a lion until morning, || So He breaks all my bones, || From day to night You end me.
13 Contaba yo hasta la mañana. Como un león molió todos mis huesos: de la mañana á la noche me acabarás.
14 As a crane—a swallow—so I chatter, || I mourn as a dove, || My eyes have been drawn up on high, || O YHWH, oppression [is] on me, be my guarantor.
14 Como la grulla y como la golondrina me quejaba; gemía como la paloma: alzaba en alto mis ojos: Jehová, violencia padezco; confórtame.
15 What do I say? Seeing He spoke to me, || And He Himself has worked, || I go softly all my years for the bitterness 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 Lord, [men] live by these, || And by all in them [is] the life of my spirit, || And You save me, make me to also 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 Behold, He changed bitterness to peace for me, || And You have delighted in my soul without corruption, || For You have cast all my sins behind Your back.
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 Sheol does not confess You, || Death does not praise You, || Those going down to the pit do not hope for Your truth.
18 Porque el sepulcro no te celebrará, ni te alabará la muerte; ni los que descienden al hoyo esperarán tu verdad.
19 The living, the living, he confesses You,
19 El que vive, el que vive, éste te confesará, como yo hoy: el padre hará notoria tu verdad á los hijos.
20 Like myself today; A father makes known to [his] sons of Your faithfulness, || O YHWH—to save me: And we sing my songs all [the] days of our lives || In the house of YHWH.”
20 Jehová para salvarme; por tanto cantaremos nuestros salmos en la casa de Jehová todos los días de nuestra vida.
21 And Isaiah says, “Let them take a bunch of figs, and plaster over the ulcer, and he lives.”
21 Y había dicho Isaías: Tomen masa de higos, y pónganla en la llaga, y sanará.
22 And Hezekiah says, “What [is] the sign that I go up to the house of YHWH?”
22 Había asimismo dicho Ezechîas: ¿Qué señal tendré de que he de subir á la casa de Jehová?
