Ii Regum 20
1 in diebus illis aegrotavit Ezechias usque ad mortem et venit ad eum Esaias filius Amos prophetes dixitque ei haec dicit Dominus Deus praecipe domui tuae morieris enim et non vives
In those days Hezekiah was ill and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him, and said to him, The Lord says, Put your house in order, for your death is near.
2 qui convertit faciem suam ad parietem et oravit Dominum dicens
Then, turning his face to the wall, he made his prayer to the Lord, saying,
3 obsecro Domine memento quomodo ambulaverim coram te in veritate et in corde perfecto et quod placitum est coram te fecerim flevit itaque Ezechias fletu magno
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.
4 et antequam egrederetur Esaias mediam partem atrii factus est sermo Domini ad eum dicens
Now before Isaiah had gone out of the middle of the town, the word of the Lord came to him, saying,
5 revertere et dic Ezechiae duci populi mei haec dicit Dominus Deus David patris tui audivi orationem tuam vidi lacrimam tuam et ecce sanavi te die tertio ascendes templum Domini
Go back and say to Hezekiah, the ruler of my people, 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 make you well: on the third day you will go up to the house of the Lord.
6 et addam diebus tuis quindecim annos sed et de manu regis Assyriorum liberabo te et civitatem hanc et protegam urbem istam propter me et propter David servum meum
I will give you fifteen more years of life; and I will keep you and this town safe from the hands of the king of Assyria; I will keep this town safe, for my honour, and for the honour of my servant David.
7 dixitque Esaias adferte massam ficorum quam cum adtulissent et posuissent super ulcus eius curatus est
Then Isaiah said, Take a cake of figs. So they took it and put it on his wound, and he got better.
8 dixerat autem Ezechias ad Esaiam quod erit signum quia Dominus me sanabit et quia ascensurus sum die tertio templum Domini
And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, What is to be the sign that the Lord will make me well, and that I will go up to the house of the Lord on the third day?
9 cui ait Esaias hoc erit signum a Domino quod facturus sit Dominus sermonem quem locutus est vis ut accedat umbra decem lineis an ut revertatur totidem gradibus
And Isaiah said, This is the sign the Lord will give you, that he will do what he has said; will the shade go forward ten degrees or back?
10 et ait Ezechias facile est umbram crescere decem lineis nec hoc volo ut fiat sed ut revertatur retrorsum decem gradibus
And Hezekiah said in answer, It is a simple thing for the shade to go forward; but let it go back ten degrees.
11 invocavit itaque Esaias propheta Dominum et reduxit umbram per lineas quibus iam descenderat in horologio Ahaz retrorsum decem gradibus
Then Isaiah the prophet made prayer to the Lord, and he made the shade go back ten degrees from its position on the steps of Ahaz.
12 in tempore illo misit Berodach Baladan filius Baladan rex Babyloniorum litteras et munera ad Ezechiam audierat enim quod aegrotasset Ezechias
At that time, Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters with an offering to Hezekiah, because he had news that Hezekiah had been ill.
13 laetatus est autem in adventum eorum Ezechias et ostendit eis domum aromatum et aurum et argentum et pigmenta varia unguenta quoque et domum vasorum suorum et omnia quae habere potuerat in thesauris suis non fuit quod non monstraret eis Ezechias in domo sua et in omni potestate sua
And Hezekiah was glad at their coming and let them see all his store of wealth, the silver and the gold and the spices and the oil of great price, and the house of his arms, and everything there was in his stores; there was nothing in all his house or his kingdom which Hezekiah did not let them see.
14 venit autem Esaias propheta ad regem Ezechiam dixitque ei quid dixerunt viri isti aut unde venerunt ad te cui ait Ezechias de terra longinqua venerunt de Babylone
Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and said to him, What did these men say and where did they come from? And Hezekiah said, They came from a far country, even from Babylon.
15 at ille respondit quid viderunt in domo tua ait Ezechias omnia quae sunt in domo mea viderunt nihil est quod non monstraverim eis in thesauris meis
And he said, What have they seen in your house? And Hezekiah said in answer, They saw everything in my house: there is nothing among my stores which I did not let them see.
16 dixit itaque Esaias Ezechiae audi sermonem Domini
And Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Give ear to the word of the Lord.
17 ecce dies venient et auferentur omnia quae sunt in domo tua et quae condiderunt patres tui usque in diem hanc in Babylone non remanebit quicquam ait Dominus
Truly, days are coming when everything in your house, and whatever your fathers have put in store till this day, will be taken away to Babylon: all will be gone, says the Lord.
18 sed et de filiis tuis qui egredientur ex te quos generabis tollentur et erunt eunuchi in palatio regis Babylonis
And your sons, the offspring of your body, they will take away to be unsexed servants in the house of the king of Babylon.
19 dixit Ezechias ad Esaiam bonus sermo Domini quem locutus est sit pax et veritas in diebus meis
Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord which you have said. Then he said, ... if in my time there is peace and righteousness?
20 reliqua autem sermonum Ezechiae et omnis fortitudo eius et quomodo fecerit piscinam et aquaeductum et introduxerit aquas in civitatem nonne haec scripta sunt in libro sermonum dierum regum Iuda
Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his power, and how he made the pool and the stream, to take water into the town, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
21 dormivitque Ezechias cum patribus suis et regnavit Manasses filius eius pro eo
And Hezekiah went to rest with his fathers; and Manasseh his son became king in his place.
