2 Et convertit Ezechias faciem suam adparietem et oravit ad Dominum	2 And Ezechias turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the Lord,
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.	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.
4 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Isaiam dicens:	4 And the word of the Lord came to Isaias, saying:

11 Dixi: Non videbo Dominum Deum in terra viventium, non aspiciam hominem ultra inter habitatores orbis.	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.
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.	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 out me off: from morning even to night thou wilt make an end of me.
13 Prostratus sum usque ad mane, quasi leo sic conterit omnia ossa mea; de mane usque ad vesperam confecisti me.	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.
14 Sicut pullus hirundinis, sic mussitabo, meditabor ut columba; attenuati sunt oculi mei suspicientes in excelsum. Domine, vim patior, sponde pro me.	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.
15 Quid dicam, aut quid respondebit mihi? Ipse fecit! Incedam per omnes annos meos in amaritudine animae meae.	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.
16 Domine, in te sperat cor meum; vivat spiritus meus, sana me et vivifica me;	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.
17 ecce in pacem versa est amaritudo mea. Tu autem eruisti animam meam a fovea consumptionis, proiecisti enim post tergum tuum omnia peccata mea.	17 Behold in peace is my bitterness most bitter: but thou best delivered my soul that it should not perish, thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.
18 Quia non infernus confitebitur tibi, neque mors laudabit te; non exspectabunt, qui descendunt in lacum, veritatem tuam.	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.
19 Vivens, vivens ipse confitebitur tibi, sicut et ego hodie; pater filiis notam faciet veritatem tuam.	19 The living, the living, he shall give praise to thee, as I do this day: the father shall make thy truth known to the children.
