38 ¶ Vè menm epòk sa a, Ezekyas tonbe malad, li te prèt pou l' mouri. Pwofèt Ezayi, pitit Amòz la, vin wè li, li di l' konsa: -Men sa Seyè a voye di ou: Ou mèt mete lòd nan zafè ou paske ou pral mouri. Pa gen rechap pou ou.

Ezekyas vire figi li bay panno a fas, li lapriyè Seyè a.

Li di: -Tanpri, Seyè! Chonje jan mwen te sèvi ou ak tout kè mwen san m' pa janm vire do ba ou! Mwen te toujou fè sa ou te vle m' fè. Epi li pran kriye kont kriye l'.

Lè sa a, Seyè a pale ak Ezayi, li di l' konsa:

-Tounen al jwenn Ezekyas. W'a di l' pou mwen, men sa Seyè a, Bondye David, zansèt ou a, voye di ou: Mwen tande lapriyè ou. Mwen wè jan sa fè ou mal. M'ap kite ou viv kenzan ankò.

M'ap delivre ou ansanm ak lavil Jerizalèm anba men wa Lasiri a. M'a pran defans lavil la.

Ezayi reponn li: -Men siy Seyè a pral fè ou wè pou ou ka konnen l'ap kenbe pawòl li.

Gade kadran solèy wa Akaz te fè a. Seyè a pral fè lonbraj la fè bak sou dis ti mak. Epi vre, lonbraj la mache fè bak sou dènye dis ti mak li te fin depase.

¶ Men kantik Ezekyas, wa a, te chante lè li refè apre maladi li a:

10 Mwen t'ap di nan kè m' se mwatye nan lavi m' ase mwen viv. Gade mwen gen tan pral mouri. Mwen rive nan pòt pou m' antre kote mò yo ye a. M'ap mouri anvan lè m'.

11 Mwen te kwè mwen pa t'ap janm gen chans ankò pou m' te wè Seyè a sou latè kote moun vivan yo ye a, ni pou m' te wè pesonn ankò nan moun k'ap viv sou latè.

12 Tankou yon ti kay jaden, yo rache m', yo demoli m' pote m' ale. Yo koupe lavi m' tankou yo koupe fil nan metye moun k'ap tise twal yo. Soti nan maten rive aswè, m'ap deperi.

13 Tout lannwit m'ap rele anba doulè. Tankou yon lyon, Bondye t'ap kraze tout zo nan kò m'. Soti nan maten rive nan aswè, m'ap deperi.

14 M'ap plenn tou piti tankou ranmye. M'ap plenyen tankou yon toutrèl. Je m' bouke tank m'ap gade syèl la. Seyè, mwen pa kapab ankò! Vin fè kichòy pou mwen non!

15 Kijan pou m' pale avè l'? Sa pou m' di l'? Se Seyè a k'ap fè travay li. Malgre tout lapenn sa a ki nan kè m' lan, m'a debat ak lavi a jouk mwen mouri.

16 Seyè! nan bon kè ou, ou fè m' jwi lavi. Souf lavi a nan mwen toujou. W'ap geri m', w'ap ban m' lavi.

17 Ou wete m' nan kè sere m' te ye a. Se ou menm ki wete m' nan bouch twou a. Ou voye tout peche m' yo jete dèyè do ou.

18 Yo pa fè lwanj ou kote mò yo ye a. Non. Moun mouri pa ka fè fèt pou ou! Moun ki deja desann kote mò yo ye a pa ka konte sou ou pou ou kenbe pawòl ou.

19 Se moun ki vivan ase ki ka fè lwanj ou tankou mwen menm jòdi a. Granmoun va fè pitit yo konnen jan ou toujou kenbe pawòl!

20 Seyè a delivre m'! N'a fè mizik sou tout enstriman mizik nou yo n'a chante nan kay Seyè a pandan tout lavi nou.

21 Ezayi mande pou yo fè yon kataplas ak fig frans mete sou kote wa a malad la, pou li ka geri.

22 Lè sa a, wa Ezekyas mande: -Kisa k'ap fè m' konnen m'a ka al nan tanp lan ankò?

Hezekiah’s Illness(A)

38 In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz(B) went to him and said, “This is what the Lord says: Put your house in order,(C) because you are going to die; you will not recover.”(D)

Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord, “Remember, Lord, how I have walked(E) before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion(F) and have done what is good in your eyes.(G)” And Hezekiah wept(H) bitterly.

Then the word(I) of the Lord came to Isaiah: “Go and tell Hezekiah, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of your father David,(J) says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears;(K) I will add fifteen years(L) to your life. And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend(M) this city.

“‘This is the Lord’s sign(N) to you that the Lord will do what he has promised: I will make the shadow cast by the sun go back the ten steps it has gone down on the stairway of Ahaz.’” So the sunlight went back the ten steps it had gone down.(O)

A writing of Hezekiah king of Judah after his illness and recovery:

10 I said, “In the prime of my life(P)
    must I go through the gates of death(Q)
    and be robbed of the rest of my years?(R)
11 I said, “I will not again see the Lord himself(S)
    in the land of the living;(T)
no longer will I look on my fellow man,
    or be with those who now dwell in this world.
12 Like a shepherd’s tent(U) my house
    has been pulled down(V) and taken from me.
Like a weaver I have rolled(W) up my life,
    and he has cut me off from the loom;(X)
    day and night(Y) you made an end of me.
13 I waited patiently(Z) till dawn,
    but like a lion he broke(AA) all my bones;(AB)
    day and night(AC) you made an end of me.
14 I cried like a swift or thrush,
    I moaned like a mourning dove.(AD)
My eyes grew weak(AE) as I looked to the heavens.
    I am being threatened; Lord, come to my aid!”(AF)

15 But what can I say?(AG)
    He has spoken to me, and he himself has done this.(AH)
I will walk humbly(AI) all my years
    because of this anguish of my soul.(AJ)
16 Lord, by such things people live;
    and my spirit finds life in them too.
You restored me to health
    and let me live.(AK)
17 Surely it was for my benefit(AL)
    that I suffered such anguish.(AM)
In your love you kept me
    from the pit(AN) of destruction;
you have put all my sins(AO)
    behind your back.(AP)
18 For the grave(AQ) cannot praise you,
    death cannot sing your praise;(AR)
those who go down to the pit(AS)
    cannot hope for your faithfulness.
19 The living, the living—they praise(AT) you,
    as I am doing today;
parents tell their children(AU)
    about your faithfulness.

20 The Lord will save me,
    and we will sing(AV) with stringed instruments(AW)
all the days of our lives(AX)
    in the temple(AY) of the Lord.

21 Isaiah had said, “Prepare a poultice of figs and apply it to the boil, and he will recover.”

22 Hezekiah had asked, “What will be the sign(AZ) that I will go up to the temple of the Lord?”
