| 1 | In those days Ezechias was sick unto death: and Isaias the son of Amos the prophet came and said to him: Thus saith the Lord God: Give charge concerning thy house, for thou shalt die, and not live. | In diebus illis aegrotavit Ezechias usque ad mortem: et venit ad eum Isaias filius Amos propheta, dixitque ei: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Praecipe domui tuae: morieris enim tu, et non vives. |
| 2 | And he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying: | Qui convertit faciem suam ad parietem, et oravit Dominum, dicens: |
| 3 | 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 pleasing before thee. And Ezechias wept with much weeping. | Obsecro, Domine: memento, quaeso, quomodo ambulaverim coram te in veritate, et in corde perfecto, et quod placitum est coram te fecerim. Flevit itaque Ezechias fletu magno. |
| 4 | And before Isaias was gone out of the middle of the court, the word of the Lord came to him, saying: | Et antequam egrederetur Isaias mediam partem atrii, factus est sermo Domini ad eum, dicens: |
| 5 | Go back, and tell Ezechias the captain of my people: Thus saith the Lord the God of David thy father: I have heard thy prayer, and I have seen thy tears: and behold I have healed thee; on the third day thou shalt go up to the temple of the Lord. | Revertere, et dic Ezechiae duci populi mei: Haec dicit Dominus Deus David patris tui: Audivi orationem tuam, et vidi lacrimas tuas, et ecce sanavi te: die tertio ascendes templum Domini. |
| 6 | And I will add to thy days fifteen years: and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians, and I will protect this city for my own sake, and for David my servant’s sake. | 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 | And Isaias said: Bring me a lump of figs. And when they had brought it, and laid it upon his boil. he was healed. | Dixitque Isaias: Afferte massam ficorum. Quam cum attulissent, et posuissent super ulcus eius, curatus est. |
| 8 | And Ezechias had said to Isaias: What shall be the sign that the Lord will heal me, and that I shall go up to the temple of the Lord the third day? | Dixerat autem Ezechias ad Isaiam: Quod erit signum, quia Dominus me sanabit, et quia ascensurus sum die tertia templum Domini? |
| 9 | And Isaias said to him: This shall be the sign from the Lord, that the Lord will do the word which he hath spoken: Wilt thou that the shadow go forward ten lines, or that it go back so many degrees? | 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 | And Ezechias said: It is an easy matter for the shadow to go forward ten lines: and I do not desire that this be done, but let it return back ten degrees. | Et ait Ezechias: Facile est umbram crescere decem lineis: nec hoc volo ut fiat, sed ut revertatur retrorsum decem gradibus. |
| 11 | And Isaias the prophet called upon the Lord, and he brought the shadow ten degrees backwards by the lines, by which it had already gone down in the dial of Achaz. | Invocavit itaque Isaias propheta Dominum, et reduxit umbram per lineas quibus iam descenderat in horologio Achaz, retrorsum decem gradibus. |
| 12 | At that time Berodach Baladan, the son of Baladan, king of the Babylonians, sent letters and presents to Ezechias: for he had heard that Ezechias had been sick. | In tempore illo misit Berodach Baladan, filius Baladan, rex Babyloniorum, litteras et munera ad Ezechiam: audierat enim quod aegrotasset Ezechias. |
| 13 | And Ezechias rejoiced at their coming, and he showed them the house of his aromatical spices, and the gold and the silver, and divers precious odours, and ointments, and the house of his vessels, and all that he had in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominions that Ezechias shewed them not. | Laetatus 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 quae habere poterat in thesauris suis. Non fuit quod non monstraret eis Ezechias in domo sua, et in omni potestate sua. |
| 14 | And Isaias the prophet came to king Ezechias, and said to him: What said these men? or from whence came they to thee? And Ezechias said to him: From a far country they came to me out of Babylon. | 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 | And he said: What did they see in thy house? Ezechias said: They saw all the things that are in my house: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewn them. | At ille respondit: Quid viderunt in domo tua? Ait Ezechias: Omnia quaecumque sunt in domo mea, viderunt: nihil est quod non monstraverim eis in thesauris meis. |
| 16 | And Isaias said to Ezechias: Hear the word of the Lord. | Dixit itaque Isaias Ezechiae: Audi sermonem Domini: |
| 17 | Behold the days shall come, that all that is in thy house, and that thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the Lord. | Ecce dies venient, et auferentur omnia quae sunt in domo tua, et quae condiderunt patres tui usque in diem hanc, in Babylonem: non remanebit quidquam, ait Dominus. |
| 18 | And of thy sons also that shall issue from thee, whom thou shalt beget, they shall take away, and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon. | Sed et de filiis tuis qui egredientur ex te, quos generabis, tollentur, et erunt eunuchi in palatio regis Babylonis. |
| 19 | Ezechias said to Isaias: The word of the Lord, which thou hast spoken, is good: let peace and truth be in my days. | Dixit Ezechias ad Isaiam: Bonus sermo Domini quem locutus es: sit pax et veritas in diebus meis. |
| 20 | And the rest of the acts of Ezechias and all his might, and how he made a pool, and a conduit, and brought waters into the city, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? | Reliqua autem sermonum Ezechiae, et omnis fortitudo eius, et quomodo fecerit piscinam et aquaeductum, et introduxerit aquas in civitatem, nonne haec scripta sunt in libro sermonum dierum regum Iuda? |
| 21 | And Ezechias slept with his fathers, and Manasses his son reigned in his stead. | Dormivitque Ezechias cum patribus suis, et regnavit Manasses filius eius pro eo. |
