38:1  In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.

38:1  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.

38:2  And Ezechias turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the Lord,

38:2  Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the Lord,

38:2  Et convertit Ezechias faciem suam ad parietem, et oravit ad Dominum,

38:3  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.

38:3  And said, Remember now, O Lord, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.

38:3  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.

38:4  And the word of the Lord came to Isaiah, saying:

38:4  Then came the word of the Lord to Isaiah, saying,

38:4  Et factum est verbum Domini ad Isaiam, dicens :

38:5  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:

38:5  Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years.

38:5  Vade, et dic Ezechiæ : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus David patris tui : Audivi orationem tuam, et vidi lacrimas tuas ; ecce ego adjiciam super dies tuos quindecim annos,

38:6  And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians, and I will protect it.

38:6  And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city.

38:6  et de manu regis Assyriorum eruam te, et civitatem istam, et protegam eam.

38:7  And this shall be a sign to thee from the Lord, that the Lord will do this word which he hath spoken:

38:7  And this shall be a sign unto thee from the Lord, that the Lord will do this thing that he hath spoken;

38:7  Hoc autem tibi erit signum a Domino, quia faciet Dominus verbum hoc quod locutus est :

38:8  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.

38:8  Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down.

38:8  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.

38:9  The writing of Ezechias king of Juda, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness.

38:9  The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness:

38:9  Scriptura Ezechiæ, regis Juda, cum ægrotasset et convaluisset de infirmitate sua.

38:10  I said: In the midst of my days I shall go to the gates of hell: I sought for the residue of my years.

38:10  I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the residue of my years.

38:10  Ego dixi in dimidio dierum meorum : Vadam ad portas inferi ; quæsivi residuum annorum meorum.

38:11  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.

38:11  I said, I shall not see the Lord, even the Lord, in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world.

38:11  Dixi : Non videbo Dominum Deum in terra viventium ; non aspiciam hominem ultra, et habitatorem quietis.

38:12  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 cut me off: from morning even to night thou wilt make an end of me.

38:12  Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd’s tent: I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with pining sickness: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.

38:12  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.

38:13  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.

38:13  I reckoned till morning, that, as a lion, so will he break all my bones: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.

38:13  Sperabam usque ad mane ; quasi leo, sic contrivit omnia ossa mea : de mane usque ad vesperam finies me.

38:14  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.

38:14  Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail with looking upward: O Lord, I am oppressed; undertake for me.

38:14  Sicut pullus hirundinis, sic clamabo ; meditabor ut columba. Attenuati sunt oculi mei, suspicientes in excelsum. Domine, vim patior : responde pro me.

38:15  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.

38:15  What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done it: I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul.

38:15  Quid dicam, aut quid respondebit mihi, cum ipse fecerit ? Recogitabo tibi omnes annos meos in amaritudine animæ meæ.

38:16  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.

38:16  O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live.

38:16  Domine, si sic vivitur, et in talibus vita spiritus mei, corripies me, et vivificabis me.

38:17  Behold in peace is my bitterness most bitter: but thou hast delivered my soul that it should not perish, thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.

38:17  Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.

38:17  Ecce in pace amaritudo mea amarissima. Tu autem eruisti animam meam ut non periret ; projecisti post tergum tuum omnia peccata mea.

38:18  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.

38:18  For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.

38:18  Quia non infernus confitebitur tibi, neque mors laudabit te : non exspectabunt qui descendunt in lacum veritatem tuam.

38:19  The living, the living, he shall give praise to thee, as I do this day: the father shall make the truth known to the children.

38:19  The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.

38:19  Vivens, vivens ipse confitebitur tibi, sicut et ego hodie ; pater filiis notam faciet veritatem tuam.

38:20  O Lord, save me, and we will sing our psalms all the days of our life in the house of the Lord.

38:20  The Lord was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the Lord.

38:20  Domine, salvum me fac ! et psalmos nostros cantabimus cunctis diebus vitæ nostræ in domo Domini.

38:21  Now Isaiah had ordered that they should take a lump of figs, and lay it as a plaster upon the wound, and that he should be healed.

38:21  For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaister upon the boil, and he shall recover.

38:21  Et jussit Isaias ut tollerent massam de ficis, et cataplasmarent super vulnus, et sanaretur.

38:22  And Ezechias had said: What shall be the sign that I shall go up to the house of the Lord?

38:22  Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the Lord?

38:22  Et dixit Ezechias : Quod erit signum quia ascendam in domum Domini ?
