< Isaiah 38 >
1 In the days those he became sick Hezekiah to die and he went to him Isaiah [the] son of Amoz the prophet and he said to him thus he says Yahweh command to household your for [are] about to die you and not you will live.
2 And he turned Hezekiah face his to the wall and he prayed to Yahweh.
3 And he said I beg you O Yahweh remember please this: I have walked about before you in faithfulness and with a heart complete and the good in eyes your I have done and he wept Hezekiah weeping great.
4 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Isaiah saying.
5 Go and you will say to Hezekiah thus he says Yahweh [the] God of David ancestor your I have heard prayer your I have seen tear[s] your here I he will add to days your fif-teen year[s].
6 And from [the] hand of [the] king of Assyria I will deliver you and the city this and I will defend the city this.
7 And this for you [will be] the sign from with Yahweh that he will do Yahweh the thing this which he has spoken.
8 Here I [am] about to turn back [the] shadow of the steps which it had gone down on [the] steps of Ahaz with the sun backwards ten steps and it went back the sun ten steps on the steps which it had gone down.
9 A writing of Hezekiah [the] king of Judah when was sick he and he lived from sickness his.
10 I I said in [the] half of days my let me go in [the] gates of Sheol I have been caused to miss [the] remainder of years my. (Sheol )
11 I said not I will see Yahweh Yahweh in [the] land of the living not I will look at humankind again with [the] inhabitants of cessation.
12 Dwelling-place my it has been pulled up and it has been removed from me like [the] tent of shepherd my I have rolled up like weaver life my from [the] loom he cuts off me from day unto night you make an end of me.
13 I have lain down until morning like lion so he breaks all bones my from day unto night you make an end of me.
14 Like a swallow a crane so I chirp I moan like dove they are cast down eyes my to the height[s] O Lord oppression [belongs] to me stand surety for me.
15 What? will I say and he has spoken to me and he he has acted I will walk deliberately all years my on [the] bitterness of self my.
16 O Lord on them people live and to all in them [the] life of spirit my and may you restore to health me and preserve alive me.
17 Here! for welfare bitterness to me it was bitter and you you loved life my from [the] pit of destruction for you threw away behind back your all sins my.
18 For not Sheol it gives thanks to you death it praises you not they hope [those who] go down of [the] pit to faithfulness your. (Sheol )
19 [the] living [the] living He he gives thanks to you as I this day a father to children he makes known concerning faithfulness your.
20 Yahweh [is] to save me and songs my we will play all [the] days of lives our at [the] house of Yahweh.
21 And he said Isaiah let them take a cake of figs and let them rub [it] on the boil so he may live.
22 And he said Hezekiah what? [will be the] sign that I will go up [the] house of Yahweh.
