1In 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 quel tempo Ezechia si ammalò fino a morte: e Isaia profeta, figliuolo di Amos, andò a vederlo, e gli disse: Queste cose dice il Signore Dio: Metti ordine alle cose di tua casa: perocché tu morrai, e non viverai.IN those dayes Ezechias was sick euen to death: and Isaie the sonne of Amos the prophete, came and sayd to him: Thus sayth our Lord God: Take order with thy house, for thou shalt die, and shalt not liue.In diebus illis ægrotavit Ezechias usque ad mortem: et venit ad eum Isaias filius Amos propheta, dixitque ei: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Præcipe domui tuæ: morieris enim tu, et non vives. 2And he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying:Ed egli volse la faccia verso la muraglia, e fece preghiera al Signore, e disse:Who turned his face to the wal, and prayed our Lord, saying:Qui convertit faciem suam ad parietem, et oravit Dominum, dicens: 3I 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.Io ti prego, o Signore, ricordati di grazia, come io ho camminato dinanzi a te nella verità, e con cuor sincero, e ho fatto quello, che era accetto negli occhi tuoi. E versò Ezechia gran copia di lagrime.I besech thee Lord, remember I pray thee how I haue walked before thee in truth, and in a perfect hart, and haue done that which is liked before thee. Ezechias therfore wept with great weeping.Obsecro, Domine: memento, quæso, quomodo ambulaverim coram te in veritate, et in corde perfecto, et quod placitum est coram te fecerim. Flevit itaque Ezechias fletu magno. 4And before Isaias was gone out of the middle of the court, the word of the Lord came to him, saying:E prima che Isaia avesse passata la metà dell'atrio, il Signore parlò a lui, e disse:And before Isaie was gone out of the middes of the court, the word of our Lord came to him, saying:Et antequam egrederetur Isaias mediam partem atrii, factus est sermo Domini ad eum, dicens: 5Go 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.Torna indietro, e di ad Ezechia capo del popol mio: Queste cose dice il Signore, il Dio di Davidde tuo padre: Ho udita la tua orazione, e ho vedute le tue lagrime; ed ecco, che io ti ho risanato: fra tre giorni andrai al tempio del Signore.Returne, and tel Ezechias the prince of my people: Thus sayth our Lord the God of Dauid thy father: I haue heard thy prayer, and seene thy teares: and behold I haue healed thee, the third day thou shalt goe vp to the temple of the Lord.Revertere, et dic Ezechiæ duci populi mei: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus David patris tui: Audivi orationem tuam, et vidi lacrimas tuas, et ecce sanavi te: die tertio ascendes templum Domini.

6And 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.E prolungherò la tua vita di quindici anni; e di più salverò dalle mani del re degli Assiri te, e questa città, e la proteggerò per amor mio, e per amore di Davidde mio servo.And I wil adde to thy daies fiftene yeares: yea & out of the hand of the king of Assyrians I wil deliuer thee, and this citie, & I wil protect this citie for my sake, and for Dauid my seruant.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. 7And Isaias said: Bring me a lump of figs. And when they had brought it, and laid it upon his boil, he was healed.E Isaia disse: Portatemi una manciata di fichi. E portata che fu, e messa sopra l'ulcera del re, egli fu guarito.And Isaie said: Fetch me a bunch of figges. Which when they had brought, and had layd it vpon his sore, he was cured.Dixitque Isaias: Afferte massam ficorum. Quam cum attulissent, et posuissent super ulcus ejus, curatus est. 8And Ezechias had said to Isaias: What shall be the sign that the Lord will heal me, and that I will go up to the temple of the Lord the third day?Or Ezechia avea detto ad Isaia: Qual sarà il segno della sanità, che darammi il Signore, e dell'andare, che io farò al tempio del Signore di qui a tre giorni?And Ezechias had sayd to Isaie: What signe shal there be, that our Lord wil heale me, and that I shal goe vp the third day to the temple of our Lord?Dixerat autem Ezechias ad Isaiam: Quod erit signum, quia Dominus me sanabit, et quia ascensurus sum die tertia templum Domini ? 9And 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?E Isaia gli disse: Ecco il segno, che darà il Signore dell'adempimento di sua parola: Vuoi tu, che l'ombra salga per dieci linee, ovvero torni indietro per altrettanti gradi?To whom Isaie sayd: This shal be the signe from our Lord, that our lord wil doe the word, which he hath spoken: Wilt thou that the shadow goe forward ten lines, or that it goe backe soe 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 ?

10And 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.Ed Ezechia disse: È cosa facile, che l'ombra salga dieci linee: né questo voglio io. che si faccia, ma che torni indietro dieci gradi.And Ezechias sayd: It is an easie matter for the shadow to goe forward ten lines, neither wil I that this be done, but that it returne back ten degrees.Et ait Ezechias: Facile est umbram crescere decem lineis: nec hoc volo ut fiat, sed ut revertatur retrorsum decem gradibus. 11And 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 on the dial of Achaz.E Isaia profeta invocò il Signore, e fece di linea in linea tornare indietro l'ombra pe' dieci gradi, che ella avea già scorsi nell'oriuolo di Achaz.Isaie therfore the prophet inuocated our Lord, and brought backe the shadow by the lines, by the which it was now gone downe in the dial of Achaz, backward ten degrees.Invocavit itaque Isaias propheta Dominum, et reduxit umbram per lineas quibus jam descenderat in horologio Achaz, retrorsum decem gradibus. 12At 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 quel tempo Berodach Baladan, figliuolo di Baladan, re di Babilonia, mandò lettere, e doni ad Ezechia, avendo saputo com' egli era stato ammalato.In that time Berodach Baladan, the sonne of Baladan, the king of the Babilonians sent letters and giftes to Ezechias: for he had heard that Ezechias had bene sicke.In tempore illo misit Berodach Baladan, filius Baladan, rex Babyloniorum, litteras et munera ad Ezechiam: audierat enim quod ægrotasset Ezechias. 13And Ezechias rejoiced at their coming, and he shewed 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.Ed Ezechia ebbe gran piacere di lor venuta, e fece loro vedere la casa de' profumi, e l'oro, e l'argento, e i vari aromi, e unguenti, e le stanze de' suoi vasi, e tutto quel, che poteva avere ne' suoi tesori. Non vi fu cosa nella sua casa, e di sua proprietà, che Ezechia non facesse loro vedere.And Ezechias reioysed in their coming, and he shewed them the house of aromatical spices, and gold and siluer, and diuerse precious, odours, oyntementes also, and the house of his vessels, and al that he had in his treasures. There was not any thing which Ezechias shewed them not in his house, and in al his powere.Lætatus 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 quæ habere poterat in thesauris suis. Non fuit quod non monstraret eis Ezechias in domo sua, et in omni potestate sua.

14And 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.Ma Isaia profeta andò a trovare il re Ezechia, e gli disse: Che hanno detto costoro? e donde son ei venuti a te? Ed Ezechia gli disse: Son venuti a me da lontan paese, da Babilonia.And Isaie the prophete came to king Ezechias, and sayd to him: What sayd these men? or from whence came they to thee? To whom Ezechias said: From a far countrie 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. 15And 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 shewed them.Ma quegli rispose: Che hann'eglino veduto in tua casa? Ezechia disse: Hanno veduto tutto quello, che si trova in casa mia: io ho fatto ad essi vedere tutto quello, che ho ne' miei tesori.But he answered: What saw they in thy house? Ezechias sayd: They saw al things whatsoeuer are in my house: there is nothing that I haue not shewed them in my treasures.At ille respondit: Quid viderunt in domo tua ? Ait Ezechias: Omnia quæcumque sunt in domo mea, viderunt: nihil est quod non monstraverim eis in thesauris meis. 16And Isaias said to Ezechias: Hear the word of the Lord.E disse allor Isaia ad Ezechia: Ascolta la parola del Signore:Isaie therfore said to Ezechias, heare the word of our Lord:Dixit itaque Isaias Ezechiæ: Audi sermonem Domini: 17Behold 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.Sappi, che tempo verrà, quando tutte le cose, che sono in tua casa, e tutto quello, che hanno accumulato i padri tuoi sino a questo dì, sarà portato a Babilonia: nulla ci resterà, dice il Signore.Behold the daies shal come, & al things shal be taken away, that are in thy house, and that thy fathers haue layd vp vntil this day, into Babylon: there shal not anie thing remayne, sayth our Lord.Ecce dies venient, et auferentur omnia quæ sunt in domo tua, et quæ condiderunt patres tui usque in diem hanc, in Babylonem: non remanebit quidquam, ait Dominus. 18And 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.Anzi de' tuoi figliuoli, che nasceranno, e saran generati da te, ne saranno condotti via, e saranno eunuchi nel palazzo del re di Babilonia.Yea of the children also that come forth of thee, whom thou shalt beget shalbe taken away, and they shal be eunuches 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.

19Ezechias said to Isaias: The word of the Lord, which thou hast spoken, is good: let peace and truth be in my days.Disse Ezechia ad Isaia: La parola del Signore, pronunziata da te, è giusta; regni la pace, e la verità, vivente me.Ezechias said to Isaie: The word of our Lord which thou hast spoken is good: be there peace and truth in my daies.Dixit Ezechias ad Isaiam: Bonus sermo Domini quem locutus es: sit pax et veritas in diebus meis. 20And 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?Il resto poi delle azioni di Ezechia, e la sua gran fortezza, e come egli fecela piscina, e l'acquidotto, e condusse le acque nella città, non è egli scritto nel diario de' fatti dei re di Giuda?But the rest of the wordes of Ezechias, and al his strength, and how he made a poole, and a conduite, and brought waters in to the citie, are not these things writen in the Booke of the wordes of the daies of the kinges of Iuda?Reliqua autem sermonum Ezechiæ, et omnis fortitudo ejus, et quomodo fecerit piscinam et aquæductum, et introduxerit aquas in civitatem, nonne hæc scripta sunt in libro sermonum dierum regum Juda ? 21And Ezechias slept with his fathers, and Manasses, his son reigned in his stead.Ed Ezechia si addormento co' padri suoi, e Manasse suo figliuolo gli succedette nel regno.And Ezechias slept with his fathers, and Manasses his sonne reigned for him.Dormivitque Ezechias cum patribus suis, et regnavit Manasses filius ejus pro eo.
