2 Kings 20

NEW JERUSALEM	VULGATA
1 About then Hezekiah fel il and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz came andsaid to him, 'Yahweh says this, "Put your affairs in order, for you are going to die, you wil not live." '	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 Hezekiah turned his face to the wal and addressed this prayer to Yahweh,	2 Qui convertit faciem suam ad parietem, et oravit Dominum, dicens :
3 'Ah, Yahweh, remember, I beg you, that I have behaved faithful y and with sincerity of heart in yourpresence and done what you regard as right.' And Hezekiah shed many tears.	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 Isaiah had not left the middle court, before the word of Yahweh came to him,	4 Et antequam egrederetur Isaias mediam partem atrii, factus est sermo Domini ad eum, dicens :
5 'Go back and say to Hezekiah, prince of my people, "Yahweh, the God of your ancestor David, saysthis: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears. I shal cure you: in three days' time you will go up to theTemple of Yahweh.	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 I shal add fifteen years to your life. I shal save you and this city from the king of Assyria's clutches anddefend this city for my sake and my servant David's sake." '	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 'Bring a fig poultice,' Isaiah said; they brought one, applied it to the ulcer, and the king recovered.	7 Dixitque Isaias : Afferte massam ficorum. Quam cum attulissent, et posuissent super ulcus ejus, curatus est.
8 Hezekiah said to Isaiah, 'What is the sign to tel me that Yahweh wil cure me and that I shal be goingup to the Temple of Yahweh in three days' time?'	8 Dixerat autem Ezechias ad Isaiam : Quod erit signum, quia Dominus me sanabit, et quia ascensurus sum die tertia templum Domini ?
9 'Here', Isaiah replied, 'is the sign from Yahweh that he wil do what he has said; would you like theshadow to go forward ten steps, or to go back ten steps?'	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 'It is easy for the shadow to lengthen ten steps,' Hezekiah replied. 'No, I would rather the shadowwent back ten steps.'	10 Et ait Ezechias : Facile est umbram crescere decem lineis : nec hoc volo ut fiat, sed ut revertatur retrorsum decem gradibus.
11 The prophet Isaiah then cal ed on Yahweh, who made the shadow cast by the declining sun on thesteps -- the steps to Ahaz's roof-room -- go back ten steps.	11 Invocavit itaque Isaias propheta Dominum, et reduxit umbram per lineas quibus jam descenderat in horologio Achaz, retrorsum decem gradibus.
12 At that time the king of Babylon, Merodach-Baladan son of Baladan, sent letters and a gift toHezekiah, for he had heard of his il ness and his recovery.	12 In tempore illo misit Berodach Baladan, filius Baladan, rex Babyloniorum, litteras et munera ad Ezechiam : audierat enim quod ægrotasset Ezechias.
13 Hezekiah was delighted at this and showed the ambassadors his entire treasury, the silver, gold,spices, precious oil, his armoury too, and everything to be seen in his storehouses. There was nothing in hispalace or in his whole domain that Hezekiah did not show them.	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 The prophet Isaiah then came to King Hezekiah and asked him, 'What have these men said, andwhere have they come from?' Hezekiah answered, 'They have come from a distant country, from Babylon.'	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 Isaiah said, 'What have they seen in your palace?' 'They have seen everything in my palace,'Hezekiah answered. 'There is nothing in my storehouses that I have not shown them.'	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 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, 'Listen to the word of Yahweh,	16 Dixit itaque Isaias Ezechiæ : Audi sermonem Domini :
17 "The days are coming when everything in your palace, everything that your ancestors have amasseduntil now, wil be carried off to Babylon. Not a thing wil be left," Yahweh says.	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 "Sons sprung from you, sons fathered by you, wil be abducted to be eunuchs in the palace of theking of Babylon." '	18 Sed et de filiis tuis qui egredientur ex te, quos generabis, tollentur, et erunt eunuchi in palatio regis Babylonis.
19 Hezekiah said to Isaiah, 'This word of Yahweh that you announce is reassuring,' for he was thinking,'And why not? So long as there is peace and security during my lifetime.'	19 Dixit Ezechias ad Isaiam : Bonus sermo Domini quem locutus es : sit pax et veritas in diebus meis.
20 The rest of the history of Hezekiah, al his prowess, how he constructed the pool and the conduit tobring water into the city, is this not recorded in the Book of the Annals of the Kings of Judah?	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 Then Hezekiah fel asleep with his ancestors; his son Manasseh succeeded him.	21 Dormivitque Ezechias cum patribus suis, et regnavit Manasses filius ejus pro eo.
