以赛亚书 38
1 那时希西家病得要死，亚摩斯的儿子先知以赛亚去见他，对他说：“耶和华如此说：你当留遗命与你的家，因为你必死不能活了。”
In tho daies Esechie was sijk `til to the deth; and Isaie, the profete, the sone of Amos, entride to hym, and seide to hym, The Lord seith these thingis, Dispose thi hous, for thou schalt die, and thou schalt not lyue.
2 希西家就转脸朝墙，祷告耶和华说：
And Esechie turnede his face to the wal, and preiede the Lord, and seide, Lord, Y biseche;
3 “耶和华啊，求你记念我在你面前怎样存完全的心，按诚实行事，又做你眼中所看为善的。”希西家就痛哭了。
haue thou mynde, Y biseche, hou Y yede bifore thee in treuthe, and in perfit herte, and Y dide that that was good bifore thin iyen. And Ezechye wept with greet wepyng.
4 耶和华的话临到以赛亚说：
And the word of the Lord was maad to Isaie, and seide,
5 “你去告诉希西家说，耶和华—你祖大卫的 神如此说：我听见了你的祷告，看见了你的眼泪。我必加增你十五年的寿数；
Go thou, and seie to Ezechye, The Lord God of Dauid, thi fadir, seith these thingis, I haue herd thi preier, and Y siy thi teeris. Lo! Y schal adde on thi daies fiftene yeer;
6 并且我要救你和这城脱离亚述王的手，也要保护这城。
and Y schal delyuere thee and this citee fro the hond of the kyng of Assiriens, and Y schal defende it.
7 “我—耶和华必成就我所说的。我先给你一个兆头，
Forsothe this schal be to thee a signe of the Lord, that the Lord schal do this word, which he spak.
8 就是叫亚哈斯的日晷，向前进的日影往后退十度。”于是，前进的日影果然在日晷上往后退了十度。
Lo! Y schal make the schadewe of lynes, bi which it yede doun in the orologie of Achas, in the sunne, to turne ayen backward bi ten lynes. And the sunne turnede ayen bi ten lynes, bi degrees bi whiche it hadde go doun.
9 犹大王希西家患病已经痊愈，就作诗说：
The scripture of Ezechie, kyng of Juda, whanne he hadde be sijk, and hadde rekyuered of his sikenesse.
I seide, in the myddil of my daies Y schal go to the yatis of helle. Y souyte the residue of my yeeris; (Sheol h7585)
11 我说：我必不得见耶和华， 就是在活人之地不见耶和华； 我与世上的居民不再见面。
Y seide, Y schal not se the Lord God in the lond of lyueris; Y schal no more biholde a man, and a dwellere of reste.
12 我的住处被迁去离开我， 好像牧人的帐棚一样； 我将性命卷起， 像织布的卷布一样。 耶和华必将我从机头剪断， 从早到晚，他要使我完结。
My generacioun is takun awei, and is foldid togidere fro me, as the tabernacle of scheepherdis is foldid togidere. Mi lijf is kit doun as of a webbe; he kittide doun me, the while Y was wouun yit. Fro the morewtid `til to the euentid thou schalt ende me;
13 我使自己安静直到天亮； 他像狮子折断我一切的骨头， 从早到晚，他要使我完结。
Y hopide til to the morewtid; as a lioun, so he al to-brak alle my boonys. Fro the morewtid til to the euentid thou schalt ende me; as the brid of a swalewe, so Y schal crie;
14 我像燕子呢喃， 像白鹤鸣叫， 又像鸽子哀鸣； 我因仰观，眼睛困倦。 耶和华啊，我受欺压， 求你为我作保。
Y schal bithenke as a culuer. Myn iyen biholdynge an hiy, ben maad feble. Lord, Y suffre violence, answere thou for me; what schal Y seie,
15 我可说什么呢？ 他应许我的，也给我成就了。 我因心里的苦楚， 在一生的年日必悄悄而行。
ether what schal answere to me, whanne `I mysilf haue do? Y schal bithenke to thee alle my yeeris, in the bitternisse of my soule.
16 主啊，人得存活乃在乎此。 我灵存活也全在此。 所以求你使我痊愈，仍然存活。
Lord, if me lyueth so, and the lijf of my spirit is in siche thingis, thou schalt chastise me, and schalt quykene me.
17 看哪，我受大苦，本为使我得平安； 你因爱我的灵魂便救我脱离败坏的坑， 因为你将我一切的罪扔在你的背后。
Lo! my bitternesse is moost bittir in pees; forsothe thou hast delyuered my soule, that it perischide not; thou hast caste awey bihynde thi bak alle my synnes.
For not helle schal knowleche to thee, nethir deth schal herie thee; thei that goon doun in to the lake, schulen not abide thi treuthe. (Sheol h7585)
19 只有活人，活人必称谢你， 像我今日称谢你一样。 为父的，必使儿女知道你的诚实。
A lyuynge man, a lyuynge man, he schal knouleche to thee, as and Y to dai; the fadir schal make knowun thi treuthe to sones.
20 耶和华肯救我， 所以，我们要一生一世 在耶和华殿中 用丝弦的乐器唱我的诗歌。
Lord, make thou me saaf, and we schulen synge oure salmes in all the daies of oure lijf in the hous of the Lord.
21 以赛亚说：“当取一块无花果饼来，贴在疮上，王必痊愈。”
And Ysaie comaundide, that thei schulden take a gobet of figus, and make a plaster on the wounde; and it schulde be heelid.
22 希西家问说：“我能上耶和华的殿，有什么兆头呢？”
And Ezechie seide, What signe schal be, that Y schal stie in to the hous of the Lord?
