1 Poco antes de esto Ezequías cayó gravemente enfermo y el profeta Isaías, hijo de Amoz, fue a visitarlo y le dio este mensaje del Señor: Pon tus asuntos en orden pues vas a morir; no te restablecerás de esta enfermedad.
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 Al oír esto Ezequías volvió su rostro a la pared y oró:
2 Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to Yahweh,
3 Oh Señor, ¿no recuerdas lo fiel que te he sido y que siempre he procurado obedecerte en cuanto has mandado? Y rompió en grandes sollozos.
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 Entonces el Señor envió otro mensaje a Isaías:
4 Then Yahweh’s word came to Isaiah, saying,
5 «Ve y dile a Ezequías: El Señor Dios de tu antepasado David escuchó tu oración, vio tus lágrimas y te dejará vivir quince años más.
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 Yo los libraré del rey de Asiria a ti y a esta ciudad. Yo te defenderé, dice el Señor,
6 I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.
7 y esta es mi garantía:
7 This shall be the sign to you from Yahweh, that Yahweh will do this thing that he has spoken.
8 Haré que el sol retroceda diez grados en el cuadrante de Acaz. ¡Y el sol retrocedió diez grados que había recorrido en el reloj!».
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 Cuando el rey Ezequías se restableció, escribió este poema relativo a su experiencia:
9 The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and had recovered of his sickness:
10 «He recorrido solo la mitad de mi vida y tengo que dejarla. Se me despoja de mis años normales y tengo que traspasar las puertas del Seol.
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 Jamás volveré a ver al Señor en la tierra de los vivientes. Jamás volveré a ver a mis amigos en este 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 vida es arrastrada por el viento como si fuera tienda de pastor; es cortada como cuando el tejedor termina su trabajo en el telar. En un breve día mi vida pende de un hilo.
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 »Estuve gimiendo la noche entera; sentía como si leones me despedazaran.
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 Delirante, parloteaba como golondrina y gemía como paloma. Se me cansaban los ojos esperando auxilio. “¡Oh Dios!”, clamé, “¡estoy atribulado, ayúdame!”.
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 ¿Pero qué puedo decir? Pues él mismo es quien envió esta enfermedad. Por la amargura de mi alma, el sueño huyó de mí.
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 ¡Oh Señor, buena es tu disciplina y ella conduce a la vida y la salud! ¡Ay, sáname y haz que viva!
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 »Sí, ahora lo comprendo: fue bueno que yo padeciera esta amargura, pues amorosamente me has librado de la muerte, has perdonado 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 Porque los muertos no pueden alabarte, no pueden rebosar de esperanza y gozo.
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 Los vivientes, sólo ellos, pueden alabarte como lo hago yo este día. Una generación da a conocer tu fidelidad a la siguiente.
19 The living, the living, he shall praise you, as I do today. The father shall make known your truth to the children.
20 ¡Quién lo dijera! ¡El Señor me sanó! De hoy en adelante entonaré en el templo cánticos de alabanza cada día, con acompañamiento de orquesta».
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 Porque Isaías les había dicho a los siervos de Ezequías: ―Preparen un ungüento de higos, úntenselo en el divieso, y 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 Y Ezequías había preguntado: ―¿Qué señal me dará el Señor en garantía de que me sanará?
22 Hezekiah also had said, “What is the sign that I will go up to Yahweh’s house?”
