Isaías 38
Septante en francais
1En ces jours-là, Ézéchias tomba malade d'une maladie mortelle, et le prophète Isaïe, fils d'Amos, l'alla trouver, et lui dit : Ainsi parle le Seigneur : Donne tes ordres concernant ta maison ; car tu mourras, et tu n'as plus guère à vivre.
2Et Ézéchias se retourna la face contre le mur, et il pria le Seigneur,
3Disant : Seigneur, souvenez-vous que j'ai marché devant vous dans la vérité, avec un cœur sincère, et que j'ai fait ce qui était agréable à vos yeux. Et Ézéchias pleura des larmes abondantes.
4Et la parole du Seigneur vint à Isaïe, disant :
5Va et dis à Ézéchias : Ainsi parle le Seigneur, Dieu de David, ton aïeul : J'ai entendu ta prière, et j'ai vu tes larmes, et voilà que j'ajoute quinze années à ta vie.
6Et je te sauverai, toi et cette ville, du roi des Assyriens, et j'étendrai mon bouclier sur cette ville.
7Tel est le signe du Seigneur qui te montrera que sa parole s'accomplira :
8Voilà que je vais faire reculer l'ombre des marches où le soleil est descendu, de dix degrés sur la maison de ton père ; je ferai reculer le soleil de ces dix degrés. Et le soleil remonta les dix marches que l'ombre avait descendues.
9Prière d'Ézéchias roi de Juda, quand il avait été malade, et qu'il se releva de sa maladie.
10J'ai dit : Dans la plénitude de mes jours, je descendrai aux portes de l'enfer, j'abandonnerai le reste de mes années.
11J'ai dit : Je ne verrai plus le salut de Dieu sur la terre des vivants ; je ne verrai plus le salut d'Israël sur la terre ; je ne verrai plus aucun homme.
12Le reste de ma vie a disparu, il a été retranché de ma race ; il s'en est allé et il m'a quitté, comme le voyageur qui replie sa tente après l'avoir dressée ; mon souffle est comme un fil de laine dont l'ouvrière s'approche pour le couper.
13En ce jour, avant l'aurore, j'ai été livré comme à un lion ; c'est ainsi qu'il a broyé tous mes os ; car je lui ai été livré depuis le point du jour jusqu'à la nuit.
14Je crierai comme l'hirondelle, je gémirai comme la colombe ; car mes yeux se sont obscurcis à force de regarder au plus haut des cieux vers le Seigneur, qui enfin m'a relevé,
15qui m'a ôté les douleurs de mon âme.
16Seigneur, vous m'avez fait connaître votre volonté sur ma vie, et vous avez ranimé mon souffle ; et consolé j'ai vécu.
17Vous avez délivré mon âme pour m'empêcher de mourir ; et vous avez rejeté derrière moi tous mes péchés.
18Car ceux qui sont en enfer ne vous loueront point, les morts ne vous béniront pas ; en enfer on n'espère plus en votre miséricorde.
19Les vivants vous béniront, comme je le fais moi-même ; à partir de ce jour, j'enseignerai des enfants à publier votre justice.
20Dieu de mon salut, je ne cesserai de vous bénir au son de la harpe, tous les jours de ma vie, devant le temple de Dieu.
21Et Isaïe dit à Ézéchias : Prends un panier de figues, écrase-les, et te les applique, et tu seras guéri.
22Et Ézéchias dit : Quel miracle qu'Ézéchias puisse monter encore au temple de Dieu !
Reina-Valera 1909
1EN aquellos días cayó Ezechîas enfermo para morir. Y vino á él Isaías profeta, hijo de Amoz, y díjole: Jehová dice así: Ordena tu casa, porque tú morirás, y no vivirás.
2Entonces volvió Ezechîas su rostro á la pared, é hizo oración á Jehová,
3Y dijo: Oh Jehová, ruégote te acuerdes ahora que he andado delante de ti en verdad y con íntegro corazón, y que he hecho lo que ha sido agradable delante de tus ojos. Y lloró Ezechîas con gran lloro.
4Entonces fué palabra de Jehová á Isaías, diciendo:
5Ve, y di á Ezechîas: Jehová Dios de David tu padre dice así: Tu oración he oído, y visto tus lágrimas: he aquí que yo añado á tus días quince años.
6Y te libraré, y á esta ciudad, de mano del rey de Asiria; y á esta ciudad ampararé.
7Y esto te será señal de parte de Jehová, que Jehová hará esto que ha dicho:
8He aquí que yo vuelvo atrás la sombra de los grados, que ha descendido en el reloj de Achâz por el sol, diez grados. Y el sol fué tornado diez grados atrás, por los cuales había ya descendido.
9Escritura de Ezechîas rey de Judá, de cuando enfermó y sanó de su enfermedad.
10Yo dije: En el medio de mis días iré á las puertas del sepulcro: privado soy del resto de mis años.
11Dije: No veré á JAH, á JAH en la tierra de los que viven: ya no veré más hombre con los moradores del mundo.
12Mi morada ha sido movida y traspasada de mí, como tienda de pastor. Como el tejedor corté mi vida; cortaráme con la enfermedad; me consumirás entre el día y la noche.
13Contaba yo hasta la mañana. Como un león molió todos mis huesos: de la mañana á la noche me acabarás.
14Como la grulla y como la golondrina me quejaba; gemía como la paloma: alzaba en alto mis ojos: Jehová, violencia padezco; confórtame.
15¿Qué diré? El que me lo dijo, él mismo lo ha hecho. Andaré recapacitando en la amargura de mi alma todos los años de mi vida.
16Oh Señor, sobre ellos vivirán tus piedades, y á todos diré consistir en ellas la vida de mi espíritu; pues tú me restablecerás, y me harás que viva.
17He aquí amargura grande me sobrevino en la paz: mas á ti plugo librar mi vida del hoyo de corrupción: porque echaste tras tus espaldas todos mis pecados.
18Porque el sepulcro no te celebrará, ni te alabará la muerte; ni los que descienden al hoyo esperarán tu verdad.
19El que vive, el que vive, éste te confesará, como yo hoy: el padre hará notoria tu verdad á los hijos.
20Jehová para salvarme; por tanto cantaremos nuestros salmos en la casa de Jehová todos los días de nuestra vida.
21Y había dicho Isaías: Tomen masa de higos, y pónganla en la llaga, y sanará.
22Había asimismo dicho Ezechîas: ¿Qué señal tendré de que he de subir á la casa de Jehová?
King James Version
1In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.
2Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD,
3And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.
4Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying,
5Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years.
6And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city.
7And this shall be a sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken;
8Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down.
9The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness:
10I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the residue of my years.
11I said, I shall not see the LORD, even the LORD, in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world.
12Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd’s tent: I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with pining sickness: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.
13I reckoned till morning, that, as a lion, so will he break all my bones: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.
14Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail with looking upward: O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me.
15What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done it: I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul.
16O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live.
17Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.
18For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.
19The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.
20The LORD was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD.
21For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaister upon the boil, and he shall recover.
22Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD?
World English Bible
1In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him, and said to him, “The LORD says, ‘Set your house in order, for you will die, and not live.’”
2Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD,
3and said, “Remember now, LORD, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight.” Then Hezekiah wept bitterly.
4Then the LORD’s word came to Isaiah, saying,
5“Go, and tell Hezekiah, ‘The LORD, the God of David your father, says, “I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Behold, I will add fifteen years to your life.
6I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.
7This shall be the sign to you from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he has spoken.
8Behold, I will cause the shadow on the sundial, which has gone down on the sundial of Ahaz with the sun, to return backward ten steps.”’” So the sun returned ten steps on the sundial on which it had gone down.
9The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and had recovered of his sickness:
10I said, “In the middle of my life I go into the gates of Sheol. I am deprived of the residue of my years.”
11I said, “I won’t see the LORD, the LORD in the land of the living. I will see man no more with the inhabitants of the world.
12My dwelling is removed, and is carried away from me like a shepherd’s tent. I have rolled up my life like a weaver. He will cut me off from the loom. From day even to night you will make an end of me.
13I waited patiently until morning. He breaks all my bones like a lion. From day even to night you will make an end of me.
14I chattered like a swallow or a crane. I moaned like a dove. My eyes weaken looking upward. Lord, I am oppressed. Be my security.”
15What will I say? He has both spoken to me, and himself has done it. I will walk carefully all my years because of the anguish of my soul.
16Lord, men live by these things; and my spirit finds life in all of them. You restore me, and cause me to live.
17Behold, for peace I had great anguish, but you have in love for my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption; for you have cast all my sins behind your back.
18For Sheol can’t praise you. Death can’t celebrate you. Those who go down into the pit can’t hope for your truth.
19The living, the living, he shall praise you, as I do today. The father shall make known your truth to the children.
20The LORD will save me. Therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments all the days of our life in the LORD’s house.
21Now Isaiah had said, “Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it for a poultice on the boil, and he shall recover.”
22Hezekiah also had said, “What is the sign that I will go up to the LORD’s house?”
