Esias 38
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 says the Lord, Give orders concerning your house: for you shall die, and not live.
In diebus illis ægrotavit Ezechias usque ad mortem: et introivit ad eum Isaias filius Amos propheta, et dixit ei: Hæc dicit Dominus: Dispone domui tuæ, quia morieris tu, et non vives.
2 And Ezekias turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying,
Et convertit Ezechias faciem suam ad parietem, et oravit ad Dominum,
3 Remember, O Lord, how I have walked before you in truth, with a true heart, and have done that which was pleasing in your sight. And Ezekias wept bitterly.
et dixit: Obsecro Domine, memento quæso quomodo ambulaverim coram te in veritate, et in corde perfecto, et quod bonum est in oculis tuis fecerim. Et flevit Ezechias fletu magno.
4 And the word of the Lord came to Esaias, saying, Go, and say to Ezekias,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad Isaiam, dicens:
5 Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father, I have heard your prayer, and seen your tears: behold, I [will] add to your time fifteen years.
Vade, et dic Ezechiæ: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus David patris tui: Audivi orationem tuam, et vidi lacrymas tuas: ecce ego adiiciam super dies tuos quindecim annos:
6 And I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians: and I will defend this city.
et de manu regis Assyriorum eruam te, et civitatem istam, et protegam eam.
7 And this [shall be] a sign to you from the Lord, that God will do this thing;
Hoc autem tibi erit signum a Domino, quia faciet Dominus verbum hoc, quod locutus est:
8 behold, I will turn back the shadow of the degrees [of the dial] by which ten degrees on the house of your 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.
Ecce ego reverti faciam umbram linearum, per quas descenderat in horologio Achaz in sole, retrorsum decem lineis. Et reversus est sol decem lineis per gradus, quos descenderat.
9 THE PRAYER OF EZEKIAS KING OF JUDEA, WHEN HE HAD BEEN SICK, AND WAS RECOVERED FROM HIS SICKNESS.
Scriptura Ezechiæ regis Iuda cum ægrotasset, et convaluisset de infirmitate sua.
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. (Sheol h7585)
Ego dixi: In dimidio dierum meorum vadam ad portas inferi. Quæsivi residuum annorum meorum. (Sheol h7585)
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.
Dixi: Non videbo Dominum Deum in terra viventium. Non aspiciam hominem ultra, et habitatorem quietis.
12 [My life] has failed from amongst 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 near to cut off [the] thread.
Generatio mea ablata est; et convoluta est a me, quasi tabernaculum pastorum: Præcisa est velut a texente, vita mea: dum adhuc ordirer, succidit me: de mane usque ad vesperam finies me.
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.
Sperabam usque ad mane, quasi leo sic contrivit omnia ossa mea: De mane usque ad vesperam finies me:
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, and removed the sorrow of my soul.
sicut pullus hirundinis sic clamabo, meditabor ut columba: Attenuati sunt oculi mei, suspicientes in excelsum: Domine vim patior, responde pro me.
Quid dicam, aut quid respondebit mihi, cum ipse fecerit? Recogitabo tibi omnes annos meos in amaritudine animæ meæ.
16 [Yes], O Lord, for it was told you concerning this; and you have revived my breath; and I am comforted, and live.
Domine si sic vivitur, et in talibus vita spiritus mei, corripies me, et vivificabis me.
17 For you have chosen my soul, that it should not perish: and you have cast all [my] sins behind me.
Ecce in pace amaritudo mea amarissima: Tu autem eruisti animam meam ut non periret, proiecisti post tergum tuum omnia peccata mea.
18 For they that are in the grave shall not praise you, neither shall the dead bless you, neither shall they that are in Hades hope for your mercy. (Sheol h7585)
Quia non infernus confitebitur tibi, neque mors laudabit te: non expectabunt qui descendunt in lacum, veritatem tuam. (Sheol h7585)
19 The living shall bless you, as I also [do]: for from this day shall I beget children, who shall declare your righteousness,
Vivens, vivens ipse confitebitur tibi, sicut et ego hodie: pater filiis notam faciet veritatem tuam.
20 O God of my salvation; and I will not cease blessing you with the lute all the days of my life before the house of God.
Domine salvum me fac, et psalmos nostros cantabimus cunctis diebus vitæ nostræ in domo Domini.
21 Now Esaias had said to Ezekias; Take a cake of figs, and mash them, and apply them as a plaster, and you shall be well.
Et iussit Isaias ut tollerent massam de ficis, et cataplasmarent super vulnus, et sanaretur.
22 And Ezekias said, This is a sign to Ezekias, that I shall go up to the house of God.
Et dixit Ezechias: Quod erit signum quia ascendam in domum Domini?
