1 In those1992 days3117 was Hezekiah sick2470 2396 unto death.4191 And the prophet5030 Isaiah3470 the son1121 of Amoz531 came935 to413 him, and said559 unto413 him, Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Set thine house in order;6680 1004 for3588 thou859 shalt die,4191 and not3808 live.2421 2 Then he turned5437 853 his face6440 to413 the wall,7023 and prayed6419 unto413 the LORD,3068 saying,559 3 I beseech thee,577 O LORD,3068 remember2142 now4994 853 how834 I have walked1980 before6440 thee in truth571 and with a perfect8003 heart,3824 and have done6213 that which is good2896 in thy sight.5869 And Hezekiah2396 wept1058 sore.1065 1419 4 And it came to pass,1961 before3808 Isaiah3470 was gone out3318 into the middle8484 court,2691 that the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to413 him, saying,559 5 Turn again,7725 and tell559 413 Hezekiah2396 the captain5057 of my people,5971 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 the God430 of David1732 thy father,1 I have heard8085 853 thy prayer,8605 I have seen7200 853 thy tears:1832 behold,2009 I will heal7495 thee: on the third7992 day3117 thou shalt go up5927 unto the house1004 of the LORD.3068 6 And I will add3254 unto5921 thy days3117 fifteen2568 6240 years;8141 and I will deliver5337 thee and this2063 city5892 out of the hand4480 3709 of the king4428 of Assyria;804 and I will defend1598 5921 this2063 city5892 for mine own sake,4616 and for my servant5650 David's1732 sake.4616 7 And Isaiah3470 said,559 Take3947 a lump1690 of figs.8384 And they took3947 and laid7760 it on5921 the boil,7822 and he recovered.2421 8 And Hezekiah2396 said559 unto413 Isaiah,3470 What4100 shall be the sign226 that3588 the LORD3068 will heal7495 me, and that I shall go up5927 into the house1004 of the LORD3068 the third7992 day?3117 9 And Isaiah3470 said,559 This2088 sign226 shalt thou have of4480 854 the LORD,3068 that3588 the LORD3068 will do6213 853 the thing1697 that834 he hath spoken:1696 shall the shadow6738 go forward1980 ten6235 degrees,4609 or518 go back7725 ten6235 degrees?4609 10 And Hezekiah3169 answered,559 It is a light thing7043 for the shadow6738 to go down5186 ten6235 degrees:4609 nay,3808 but3588 let the shadow6738 return7725 backward322 ten6235 degrees.4609 11 And Isaiah3470 the prophet5030 cried7121 unto413 the LORD:3068 and he brought7725 853 the shadow6738 ten6235 degrees4609 backward,322 by which834 it had gone down3381 in the dial4609 of Ahaz.271 12 At that1931 time6256 Berodach-baladan,1255 the son1121 of Baladan,1081 king4428 of Babylon,894 sent7971 letters5612 and a present4503 unto413 Hezekiah:2396 for3588 he had heard8085 that3588 Hezekiah2396 had been sick.2470 13 And Hezekiah2396 hearkened8085 unto5921 them, and showed7200 them 853 all3605 the house1004 of his precious things,5238 853 the silver,3701 and the gold,2091 and the spices,1314 and the precious2896 ointment,8081 and all the house1004 of his armor,3627 and all3605 that834 was found4672 in his treasures:214 there was1961 nothing3808 1697 in his house,1004 nor in all3605 his dominion,4475 that834 Hezekiah2396 showed7200 them not.3808 14 Then came935 Isaiah3470 the prophet5030 unto413 king4428 Hezekiah,2396 and said559 unto413 him, What4100 said559 these428 men?376 and from whence4480 370 came935 they unto413 thee? And Hezekiah2396 said,559 They are come935 from a far country,4480 776 7350 even from Babylon.4480 894 15 And he said,559 What4100 have they seen7200 in thine house?1004 And Hezekiah2396 answered,559 853 All3605 the things that834 are in mine house1004 have they seen:7200 there is1961 nothing3808 1697 among my treasures214 that834 I have not3808 showed7200 them. 16 And Isaiah3470 said559 unto413 Hezekiah,2396 Hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD.3068 17 Behold,2009 the days3117 come,935 that all3605 that834 is in thine house,1004 and that which834 thy fathers1 have laid up in store686 unto5704 this2088 day,3117 shall be carried5375 into Babylon:894 nothing3808 1697 shall be left,3498 saith559 the LORD.3068 18 And of thy sons4480 1121 that834 shall issue3318 from4480 thee, which834 thou shalt beget,3205 shall they take away;3947 and they shall be1961 eunuchs5631 in the palace1964 of the king4428 of Babylon.894 19 Then said559 Hezekiah2396 unto413 Isaiah,3470 Good2896 is the word1697 of the LORD3068 which834 thou hast spoken.1696 And he said,559 Is it not3808 good, if518 peace7965 and truth571 be1961 in my days?3117 20 And the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Hezekiah,2396 and all3605 his might,1369 and how834 he made6213 853 a pool,1295 and a conduit,8585 and brought935 853 water4325 into the city,5892 are they1992 not3808 written3789 in5921 the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of Judah?3063 21 And Hezekiah2396 slept7901 with5973 his fathers:1 and Manasseh4519 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead.8478 |

1 In diebus illis ægrotavit Ezechias usque ad mortem: et venit ad eum Isaias filius Amos propheta, dixitque ei: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Præcipe domui tuæ: morieris enim tu, et non vives. 2 Qui convertit faciem suam ad parietem, et oravit Dominum, dicens: 3 Obsecro, Domine: memento, quæso, quomodo ambulaverim coram te in veritate, et in corde perfecto, et quod placitum est coram te fecerim. Flevit itaque Ezechias fletu magno. 4 Et antequam egrederetur Isaias mediam partem atrii, factus est sermo Domini ad eum, dicens: 5 Revertere, et dic Ezechiæ duci populi mei: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus David patris tui: Audivi orationem tuam, et vidi lacrimas tuas, et ecce sanavi te: die tertio ascendes templum Domini. 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. 7 Dixitque Isaias: Afferte massam ficorum. Quam cum attulissent, et posuissent super ulcus ejus, curatus est. 8 Dixerat autem Ezechias ad Isaiam: Quod erit signum, quia Dominus me sanabit, et quia ascensurus sum die tertia templum Domini? 9 Cui ait Isaias: Hoc erit signum a Domino quod facturus sit Dominus sermonem quem locutus est: vis ut ascendat umbra decem lineis, an ut revertatur totidem gradibus? 10 Et ait Ezechias: Facile est umbram crescere decem lineis: nec hoc volo ut fiat, sed ut revertatur retrorsum decem gradibus. 11 Invocavit itaque Isaias propheta Dominum, et reduxit umbram per lineas quibus jam descenderat in horologio Achaz, retrorsum decem gradibus. 12 In tempore illo misit Berodach Baladan, filius Baladan, rex Babyloniorum, litteras et munera ad Ezechiam: audierat enim quod ægrotasset Ezechias. 13 Lætatus est autem in adventu eorum Ezechias, et ostendit eis domum aromatum, et aurum et argentum, et pigmenta varia, unguenta quoque, et domum vasorum suorum, et omnia quæ habere poterat in thesauris suis. Non fuit quod non monstraret eis Ezechias in domo sua, et in omni potestate sua. 14 Venit autem Isaias propheta ad regem Ezechiam, dixitque ei: Quid dixerunt viri isti? aut unde venerunt ad te? Cui ait Ezechias: De terra longinqua venerunt ad me, de Babylone. 15 At ille respondit: Quid viderunt in domo tua? Ait Ezechias: Omnia quæcumque sunt in domo mea, viderunt: nihil est quod non monstraverim eis in thesauris meis. 16 Dixit itaque Isaias Ezechiæ: Audi sermonem Domini: 17 Ecce dies venient, et auferentur omnia quæ sunt in domo tua, et quæ condiderunt patres tui usque in diem hanc, in Babylonem: non remanebit quidquam, ait Dominus. 18 Sed et de filiis tuis qui egredientur ex te, quos generabis, tollentur, et erunt eunuchi in palatio regis Babylonis. 19 Dixit Ezechias ad Isaiam: Bonus sermo Domini quem locutus es: sit pax et veritas in diebus meis. 20 Reliqua autem sermonum Ezechiæ, et omnis fortitudo ejus, et quomodo fecerit piscinam et aquæductum, et introduxerit aquas in civitatem, nonne hæc scripta sunt in libro sermonum dierum regum Juda? 21 Dormivitque Ezechias cum patribus suis, et regnavit Manasses filius ejus pro eo. |
