Isaiah 38

NEW JERUSALEM	NOVA 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 aegrotavit Ezechias usque ad mortem. Et introivit ad eumIsaias filius Amos propheta et dixit ei: “ Haec dicit Dominus: Dispone domuituae, quia morieris tu et non vives”.
2 Hezekiah turned his face to the wal and addressed this prayer to Yahweh,	2 Et convertit Ezechias faciem suam adparietem et oravit ad Dominum
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 et dixit: “ Obsecro, Domine; memento, quaeso,quomodo ambulaverim coram te in veritate et in corde perfecto et, quod bonum estin oculis tuis, fecerim ”. Et flevit Ezechias fletu magno.
4 Then the word of Yahweh came to Isaiah,	4 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Isaiam dicens:
5 'Go and say to Hezekiah, "Yahweh, the God of your ancestor David, says this: I have heard your prayerand seen your tears. I shal cure you: in three days' time you will go up to the Temple of Yahweh. I shal addfifteen years to your life.	5 “ Vade et dic Ezechiae: “Haecdicit Dominus, Deus David patris tui: Audivi orationem tuam, vidi lacrimas tuas;ecce ego adiciam super dies tuos quindecim annos
6 I shal save you and this city from the king of Assyria's clutches and defend this city for my sake and myservant David's sake." '	6 et de manu regis Assyriorumeruam te et civitatem istam et protegam hanc civitatem”.
7 'Here', Isaiah replied, 'is the sign from Yahweh that he will do what he has said.	7 Hoc autem tibi eritsignum a Domino quia faciet Dominus verbum hoc, quod locutus est:
8 Look, I shall make the shadow cast by the declining sun on the steps -- the steps to Ahaz's roof-room-go back ten steps.' And the sun went back the ten steps by which it had declined.	8 Ecce egoreverti faciam umbram graduum, per quos descenderat in horologio Achaz in soleretrorsum decem gradibus ”. Et reversus est sol decem gradibus per gradus,quos descenderat.
9 Canticle of Hezekiah king of Judah after his il ness and recovery.	9 Scriptura Ezechiae regis Iudae, cum aegrotasset et convaluisset de infirmitatesua:
10 I thought: In the noon of my life I am to depart. At the gates of Sheol I shall be held for the rest of mydays.	10 “ Ego dixi: In dimidio dierum meorum vadam ad portas inferi; quaesivi residuum annorum meorum.
11 I thought: I shal never see Yahweh again in the land of the living, I shal never see again a single oneof those who live on earth.	11 Dixi: Non videbo Dominum Deum in terra viventium, non aspiciam hominem ultra inter habitatores orbis.
12 My home has been pul ed up, and thrown away like a shepherd's tent; like a weaver, I have rol ed upmy life, he has cut me from the loom. From dawn to dark, you have been making an end of me;	12 Habitaculum meum ablatum est et abductum longe a me quasi tabernaculum pastorum; convolvit sicut textor vitam meam; de stamine succidit me. De mane usque ad vesperam confecisti me.
13 til daybreak, I cried for help; like a lion, he has crushed al my bones, from dawn to dark, you havebeen making an end of me.	13 Prostratus sum usque ad mane, quasi leo sic conterit omnia ossa mea; de mane usque ad vesperam confecisti me.
14 I twitter like a swal ow, I moan like a dove, my eyes have grown dim from looking up. Lord, I amoverwhelmed, come to my help.	14 Sicut pullus hirundinis, sic mussitabo, meditabor ut columba; attenuati sunt oculi mei suspicientes in excelsum. Domine, vim patior, sponde pro me.
15 How can I speak and what can I say to him? He is the one to act. I must eke out the rest of my yearsin bitterness of soul.	15 Quid dicam, aut quid respondebit mihi? Ipse fecit! Incedam per omnes annos meos in amaritudine animae meae.
16 The Lord is over them; they live, and everything in them lives by his spirit. You wil cure me. Restoreme to life.	16 Domine, in te sperat cor meum; vivat spiritus meus, sana me et vivifica me;
17 At once, my bitterness turns to wel -being. For you have preserved my soul from the pit ofnothingness, you have thrust al my sins behind you.	17 ecce in pacem versa est amaritudo mea. Tu autem eruisti animam meam a fovea consumptionis, proiecisti enim post tergum tuum omnia peccata mea.
18 For Sheol cannot praise you, nor Death celebrate you; those who go down to the pit can hope nolonger in your constancy.	18 Quia non infernus confitebitur tibi, neque mors laudabit te; non exspectabunt, qui descendunt in lacum, veritatem tuam.
19 The living, the living are the ones who praise you, as I do today. Fathers tel their sons about yourconstancy.	19 Vivens, vivens ipse confitebitur tibi, sicut et ego hodie; pater filiis notam faciet veritatem tuam.
20 Yahweh, come to my help and we will make our harps resound al the days of our life in the Temple ofYahweh.	20 Domine, salvum me fac, et ad sonum citharae cantabimus cunctis diebus vitae nostrae in domo Domini ”.
21 'Bring a fig poultice,' Isaiah said, 'apply it to the ulcer and he wil recover.'	21 Et iussit Isaias, ut tollerent massam de ficis et cataplasmarent supervulnus, et sanaretur.
22 Hezekiah said, 'What is the sign to tel me that I shal be going up to the Temple of Yahweh?'	22 Et dixit Ezechias: “ Quod erit signum quia ascendamin domum Domini?”.
