YLT
Young's Literal Translation
In those days Hezekiah became
mortally
ill.
The
prophet
Isaiah son of Amoz came
to
him
and
said
, “This
is
what
the LORD
says
: ‘Put
your
house in
order
, for you
are
about
to
die;
you
will
not recover
. ’”
In those days hath
Hezekiah been
sick
unto
death,
and
come
in
unto
him
doth
Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet,
and
saith
unto
him,
`Thus
said
Jehovah
: Give
a
charge
to
thy
house, for thou
`art'
dying,
and
dost
not live
. '
Then
Hezekiah turned
his face to
the wall and prayed
to
the
LORD
,
And
Hezekiah turneth
round
his face unto
the wall ,
and prayeth
unto
Jehovah
,
saying
, “Please
, O LORD
, remember how I have walked before You
faithfully
and with wholehearted
devotion;
I have done what
was
good
in
Your
sight.”
And Hezekiah wept
bitterly
.
and
saith
, `I
pray
thee
, O Jehovah
, remember ,
I
pray
Thee,
how I have walked habitually
before Thee
in
truth,
and with a
perfect
heart,
and
that
which
`is'
good
in
thine
eyes
I have done ;'
and Hezekiah weepeth
--
a
great
weeping
.
And the
word of the
LORD
came
to
Isaiah, saying,
And a
word of Jehovah
is
unto
Isaiah, saying,
“
Go and tell
Hezekiah that
this
is
what
the
LORD
, the
God of your
father
David, says:
‘
I have heard your
prayer ;
I have seen your
tears.
Behold
, I will
add
fifteen years to
your
life.
Go ,
and thou
hast
said
to
Hezekiah, Thus
said
Jehovah,
God of David thy
father
, `
I have heard thy
prayer ,
I have seen thy
tear
, lo,
I am
adding
to
thy
days
fifteen years ,
And I
will
deliver
you
and
this
city
from
the hand of the king of Assyria.
I will
defend
this city.
and out
of
the hand of the king of Asshur
I deliver
thee
and
this city ,
and
have
covered
over
this
city
.
This will
be
a
sign
to you
from
the LORD
that He
will
do
what
He has
promised:
And
this `is'
to thee
the sign
from
Jehovah,
that Jehovah
doth
this
thing
that
He hath
spoken.
I will
make
the sun’s
shadow that falls
on the stairway
of Ahaz go
back
ten steps.’”
So
the sunlight
went
back the
ten steps
it had descended
.
Lo,
I am
bringing
back
the shadow of
the
degrees
that it
hath
gone
down
on the degrees
of Ahaz ,
by
the
sun,
backward
ten degrees:'
and
the sun
turneth
back ten degrees
in
the
degrees
that
it had gone
down
.
This
is
a writing by
Hezekiah king of Judah after
his illness
and
recovery
:
A writing of
Hezekiah king of Judah concerning
his being
sick,
when
he
reviveth
from
his
sickness
:
I said ,
“
In the prime
of my life
I must
go through
the gates of Sheol and
be
deprived
of
the remainder
of my
years. ”
`
I --
I
said in the cutting
off
of my days,
I go in
to
the gates of Sheol ,
I
have
numbered
the remnant
of mine
years.
I said, “
I will
never
again
see the
LORD,
even
the
LORD,
in the land of the living ;
I will
no
longer
look
on
mankind
with those
who
dwell
in
this
world.
I said, I do
not
see Jah
--
Jah!
In the land of the living ,
I do
not
behold
man
any
more,
With the
inhabitants
of
the
world.
My dwelling
has
been
picked
up
and removed from me like
a shepherd’s
tent .
I have rolled
up
my
life
like
a weaver ;
He
cuts
me off from
the
loom;
from day until
night You
make
an
end of
me.
My sojourning
hath
departed,
And been
removed from me as
a shepherd's
tent ,
I have drawn
together,
as
a weaver ,
my
life,
By
weakness
it
cutteth
me off ,
From day unto
night Thou
dost
end me.
I composed
myself
until
the
morning .
Like
a lion He breaks
all my bones ;
from day until
night You
make
an
end of
me.
I have
set
`Him'
till
morning as
a lion ,
So
doth
He break
all my bones ,
From day unto
night Thou
dost
end me.
I
chirp
like
a swallow
or
crane ;
I moan
like
a dove .
My
eyes grow
weak
as
I
look
upward.
O Lord
, I
am
oppressed;
be my security
. ”
As
a crane --
a
swallow
--
so
I chatter,
I
mourn
as
a dove ,
Drawn
up
have
been
mine
eyes on
high,
O Jehovah
, oppression
`is'
on
me,
be my surety
.
What can
I say? He has
spoken
to me, and He Himself has
done
this.
I will
walk
slowly
all my years because
of
the anguish
of my soul.
--
What do
I say? seeing
He said
to me, And He Himself hath
wrought,
I go
softly
all my years for
the bitterness
of my soul.
O
Lord, by such
things
men live, and in
all of
them my spirit finds
life.
You
have
restored
me
to
health
and have
let
me live .
Lord, by these
do
`
men '
live, And by
all in
them `is'
the
life
of
my spirit ,
And Thou
savest
me ,
make
me
also
to
live ,
Surely
for my
own
welfare
I
had
such
great
anguish;
but
Your
love
has
delivered
me from
the
pit
of
oblivion
, for You
have
cast all my sins behind
Your
back
.
Lo,
to
peace
He
changed
for me bitterness
, And
Thou
hast
delighted
in
my
soul
without
corruption,
For Thou
hast
cast behind
Thy
back
all my sins.
For Sheol cannot
thank
You;
Death cannot
praise You.
Those who
descend
to the Pit cannot
hope for Your
faithfulness
.
For Sheol doth
not
confess
Thee,
Death doth
not
praise Thee,
Those going
down
to the pit hope not
for Thy
truth
.
The living, only
the living, can
thank
You,
as
I
do
today;
fathers
will
tell
their
children
about
Your
faithfulness
.
The living, the living, he
doth
confess
Thee
.
The
LORD
will
save me ;
we
will
play
songs on
stringed
instruments
all the
days of our lives in the house of the
LORD
.
Like
myself
to-day
--
a
father
to
sons
Doth
make
known
of
Thy
faithfulness,
O
Jehovah
--
to
save me :
And
my
songs we
sing
all days of our lives In the house of Jehovah
. '
Now
Isaiah had
said
, “Prepare
a lump
of pressed
figs and apply
it
to
the boil
, and he will
recover
. ”
And
Isaiah saith
, `Let
them
take
a bunch
of figs ,
and plaster
over
the ulcer
, and he liveth
. '
And Hezekiah had
asked
, “
What will
be
the sign that I will
go up to the house of the
LORD?”
And Hezekiah saith
, `
What `is'
the sign that I go up to the house of Jehovah!'
