Isaiah 38

1 In those days Ezechias was sick even to death, and Isaias the son of Amos the prophet came unto him, and said to him: Thus saith the Lord: Take order with thy house, for thou shalt die, and not live.

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 Ezechias turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the Lord,

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

3 And said: I beseech thee, O Lord, remember how I have walked before thee in truth, and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Ezechias wept with great 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 And the word of the Lord came to Isaias, saying:

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

5 Go and say to Ezechias: Thus saith the Lord the God of David thy father: I have heard thy prayer, and I have seen thy tears: behold I will add to thy days fifteen years:

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 deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians, and I will protect it.

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 this shall be a sign to thee from the Lord, that the Lord will do this word which he hath spoken:

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

8 Behold I will bring again the shadow of the lines, by which it is now gone down in the sun dial of Achaz with the sun, ten lines backward. And the sun returned ten lines by the degrees by which it was 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.

9 The writing of Ezechias king of Juda, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness.

A writing of Hezekiah [the] king of Judah when was sick he and he lived from sickness his.

10 I said: In the midst of my days I shall go to the gates of hell: I sought for the residue of my years. (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 shall not see the Lord God in the land of the living. I shall behold man no more, nor the inhabitant of rest.

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 generation is at an end, and it is rolled away from me, as a shepherd’s tent. My life is cut off, as by a weaver: whilst I was yet but beginning, he out me off: from morning even to night thou wilt make an end of me.

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 hoped till morning, as a lion so hath he broken all my bones: from morning even to night thou wilt make an end of me.

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 will cry like a young swallow, I will meditate like a dove: my eyes are weakened looking upward: Lord, I suffer violence, answer thou for me.

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 shall I say, or what shall he answer for me, whereas he himself hath done it? I will recount to thee all my years in the bitterness of my soul.

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, if man’s life be such, and the life of my spirit be in such things as these, thou shalt correct me, and make me to live.

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 Behold in peace is my bitterness most bitter: but thou best delivered my soul that it should not perish, thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.

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 hell shall not confess to thee, neither shall death praise thee: nor shall they that go down into the pit, look for thy truth. (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, he shall give praise to thee, as I do this day: the father shall make thy truth known to the 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, save me, and we will sing our psalms all the days of our life 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.

21 Now Isaias had ordered that they should take a lump of figs, and lay it as it plaster upon the wound, and that he should be healed.

And he said Isaiah let them take a cake of figs and let them rub [it] on the boil so he may live.

22 And Ezechias bed said: What shall be the sign that I shall go up to the house of the Lord?

And he said Hezekiah what? [will be the] sign that I will go up [the] house of Yahweh.
