Isaiah 38

1 About that time was Hezekiah sicke vnto the death, and the Prophet Isaiah sonne of Amoz came vnto him, and sayd vnto him, Thus sayth the Lord, Put thine house in an order, for thou shalt dye, and not liue.

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 Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord,

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

3 And saide, I beseeche thee, Lord, remember nowe howe I haue walked before thee in trueth, and with a perfite heart, and haue done that which is good in thy sight: and Hezekiah wept sore.

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 came the worde of the Lord to Isaiah, saying,

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

5 Goe, and say vnto Hezekiah, Thus saith the Lord God of Dauid thy father, I haue heard thy prayer, and seene thy teares: behold, I will adde vnto thy dayes fifteene yeeres.

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 deliuer thee out of the hand of the King of Asshur, and this citie: for I will defende this citie.

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 signe shalt thou haue of ye Lord, that ye Lord will do this thing that 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 Beholde, I will bring againe the shadowe of the degrees (whereby it is gone downe in the diall of Ahaz by the sunne) ten degrees backeward: so the sunne returned by tenne degrees, by the which degrees it was gone downe.

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 Hezekiah King of Iudah, when he had bene sicke, and was recouered of his sickenesse.

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

10 I saide in the cutting off of my dayes, I shall goe to the gates of the graue: I am depriued of the residue of my yeeres. (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, euen the Lord in the land of the liuing: I shall see man no more among the inhabitants of 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 Mine habitation is departed, and is remoued from me, like a shepheards tent: I haue cut off like a weauer my life: he will cut me off from the height: from day to night, thou wilt make an ende 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 rekoned to the morning: but he brake all my bones, like a lion: from day to night wilt thou make an ende 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 Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourne as a doue: mine eies were lift vp on high: O Lord, it hath oppressed me, comfort 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? for he hath said it to me, and he hath done it: I shall walke weakely all my yeeres in the bitternesse of my soule.

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, to them that ouerliue them, and to all that are in them, the life of my spirite shalbe knowen, that thou causedst me to sleepe and hast giuen life to me.

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 Beholde, for felicitie I had bitter griefe, but it was thy pleasure to deliuer my soule from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sinnes behinde thy backe.

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 graue cannot confesse thee: death cannot praise thee: they that goe downe into the pit, cannot hope for thy trueth. (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 But the liuing, the liuing, he shall confesse thee, as I doe this day: the father to the children shall declare thy trueth.

[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 The Lord was ready to saue me: therefore we will sing my song, all the dayes 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 Then said Isaiah, Take a lumpe of drye figs and lay it vpon the boyle, and he shall recouer.

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

22 Also Hezekiah had said, What is ye signe, that I shall goe vp into the House of the Lord?

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