In the days those he became sick Hezekiah to die and he went to him Isaiah [the] son of Amoz the prophet and he said to him thus he says Yahweh command to household your for [are] about to die you and not you will live.

2 And Hezekiah, turning his face to the wall, made his prayer to the Lord, saying,

And he turned Hezekiah face his to the wall and he prayed to Yahweh.

3 O Lord, keep in mind how I have been true to you with all my heart, and have done what is good in your eyes. And Hezekiah gave way to bitter weeping.

And he said I beg you O Yahweh remember please this: I have walked about before you in faithfulness and with a heart complete and the good in view your I have done and he wept Hezekiah weeping great.

4 Then the word of the Lord came to Isaiah, saying,

And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Isaiah saying.

5 Go to Hezekiah, and say, The Lord, the God of David, your father, says, Your prayer has come to my ears, and I have seen your weeping: see, I will give you fifteen more years of life.

Go and you will say to Hezekiah thus he says Yahweh [the] God of David ancestor your I have heard prayer your I have seen tear[s] your here I he will add to days your fif-teen year[s].

6 And I will keep you and this town safe from the hands of the king of Assyria: and I will keep watch over this town.

And from [the] hand of [the] king of Assyria I will deliver you and the city this and I will defend the city this.

7 And Isaiah said, This is the sign the Lord will give you, that he will do what he has said:

And this for you [will be] the sign from with Yahweh that he will do Yahweh the thing this which he has spoken.

8 See, I will make the shade which has gone down on the steps of Ahaz with the sun, go back ten steps. So the shade went back the ten steps by which it had gone down.

Here I [am] about to turn back [the] shadow of the steps which it had gone down on [the] steps of Ahaz with the sun backwards ten steps and it went back the sun ten steps on the steps which it had gone down.

10 I said, In the quiet of my days I am going down into the underworld: the rest of my years are being taken away from me. (Sheol h7585)

I I said in [the] half of days my let me go in [the] gates of Sheol I have been caused to miss [the] remainder of years my. (Sheol h7585)

11 I said, I will not see the Lord, even the Lord in the land of the living: I will not see man again or those living in the world.

I said not I will see Yahweh Yahweh in [the] land of the living not I will look at humankind again with [the] inhabitants of cessation.

12 My resting-place is pulled up and taken away from me like a herdsman's tent: my life is rolled up like a linen-worker's thread; I am cut off from the cloth on the frame: from day even to night you give me up to pain.

Dwelling-place my it has been pulled up and it has been removed from me like [the] tent of shepherd my I have rolled up like weaver life my from [the] loom he cuts off me from day unto night you make an end of me.

13 I am crying out with pain till the morning; it is as if a lion was crushing all my bones.

I have lain down until morning like lion so he breaks all bones my from day unto night you make an end of me.

14 I make cries like a bird; I give out sounds of grief like a dove: my eyes are looking up with desire; O Lord, I am crushed, take up my cause.

Like a swallow a crane so I chirp I moan like dove they are cast down eyes my to the height[s] O Lord oppression [belongs] to me stand surety for me.

15 What am I to say? seeing that it is he who has done it: all my time of sleeping I am turning from side to side without rest.

What? will I say and he has spoken to me and he he has acted I will walk deliberately all years my on [the] bitterness of self my.

16 O Lord, for this cause I am waiting for you, give rest to my spirit: make me well again, and let me come back to life.

O Lord on them people live and to all in them [the] life of spirit my and may you restore to health me and preserve alive me.

17 See, in place of peace my soul had bitter sorrow. but you have kept back my soul from the underworld; for you have put all my sins out of your memory.

Here! for welfare it was bitter to me bitterly and you you loved life my from [the] pit of destruction for you threw away behind back your all sins my.

18 For the underworld is not able to give you praise, death gives you no honour: for those who go down into the underworld there is no hope in your mercy. (Sheol h7585)

For not Sheol it gives thanks to you death it praises you not they hope [those who] go down of [the] pit to faithfulness your. (Sheol h7585)

19 The living, the living man, he will give you praise, as I do this day: the father will give the story of your mercy to his children.

[the] living [the] living He he gives thanks to you as I this day a father to children he makes known concerning faithfulness your.

20 O Lord, quickly be my saviour; so we will make my songs to corded instruments all the days of our lives in the house of the Lord.

Yahweh [is] to save me and songs my we will play all [the] days of lives our at [the] house of Yahweh.
