And it came to pass at that time, that Ezekias was sick even to death. And Esaias the prophet the son of Amos came to him, and said to him, Thus saith the Lord, Give orders concerning thy house: for thou shalt die, and not live.

¹

Бы́сть же въ то́ вре́мя, разболѣ́ся єзекі́а до сме́рти. И пріи́де къ нему́ Иса́іа проро́къ сы́нъ Амо́совъ и рече́ къ нему́: сія́ глаго́летъ Госпо́дь: устро́й о до́мѣ твоє́мъ, умира́єши бо ты́ и не бу́деши жи́въ.

²

And Ezekias turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying,

²

И обрати́ єзекі́а лице́ своє́ ко стѣнѣ́ и помоли́ся ко Го́сподеви глаго́ля:

³

Remember, O Lord, how I have walked before thee in truth, with a true heart, and have done that which was pleasing in thy sight. And Ezekias wept bitterly.

³

помяни́, Госпо́дь, ка́ко ходи́хъ предъ тобо́ю со и́стиною и се́рдцемъ и́стиннымъ, и уго́дная предъ тобо́ю сотвори́хъ. И пла́кася єзекі́а пла́чемъ вели́кимъ.

⁴

And the word of the Lord came to Esaias, saying, Go, and say to Ezekias,

⁴

И бы́сть сло́во Госпо́дне ко Иса́іи глаго́ля:

⁵

Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, and seen thy tears: behold, I will add to thy time fifteen years.

⁵

иди́ и рцы́ єзекі́и: та́ко глаго́летъ Госпо́дь Бо́гъ даві́да отца́ твоєго́: услы́шахъ моли́тву твою́ и ви́дѣхъ сле́зы твоя́, се́, прилага́ю къ лѣ́томъ твои́мъ лѣ́тъ пятьна́десять,

⁶

And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians: and I will defend this city.

⁶

и от руки́ царя́ Ассирі́йска изба́влю тя́ и гра́дъ се́й, и защищу́ о гра́дѣ се́мъ:

⁷

And this shall be a sign to thee from the Lord, that God will do this thing;

⁷

сіє́ же тебѣ́ зна́меніє от Го́спода, я́ко Бо́гъ сотвори́тъ глаго́лъ се́й, я́коже глаго́ла:

⁸

behold, I will turn back the shadow of the degrees of the dial by which ten degrees on the house of thy father the sun has gone down—I will turn back the sun the ten degrees; so the sun went back the ten degrees by which the shadow had gone down.

⁸

се́, а́зъ возвращу́ сѣ́нь степе́ней, и́миже сни́де со́лнце де́сять степе́ней до́му отца́ твоєго́, возвращу́ со́лнце де́сять степе́ней, и́миже сни́де сѣ́нь. И взы́де со́лнце де́сять степе́ней, и́миже сни́де сѣ́нь.

The Prayer of Ezekias king of Judea, when he had been sick, and was recovered from his sickness.

⁹

Моли́тва єзекі́и царя́ Іуде́йска, єгда́ болѣ́ и воста́ от неду́га своєго́.

¹⁰

I said in the end of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I shall part with the remainder of my years.

¹⁰

А́зъ реко́хъ въ высотѣ́ дні́й мои́хъ: пойду́ во врата́ а́дова, оста́влю лѣ́та про́чая.

¹¹

I said, I shall no more at all see the salvation of God in the land of the living: I shall no more at all see the salvation of Israel on the earth: I shall no more at all see man.

¹¹

Реко́хъ: ктому́ не узрю́ спасе́нія Бо́жія на земли́ живы́хъ, ктому́ не узрю́ спасе́нія Ізра́илева на земли́, ктому́ не узрю́ человѣ́ка со живу́щими:

¹²

My life has failed from among my kindred: I have parted with the remainder of my life: it has gone forth and departed from me, as one that having pitched a tent takes it down again: my breath was with me as a weaver's web, when she that weaves draws nigh to cut off the thread.

¹²

оста́хъ от сродства́ моєго́, оста́вихъ про́чеє живота́ моєго́, изы́де и отъи́де от мене́ а́ки разруша́яй ку́щу поткну́вый: а́ки платно́ ду́хъ мо́й во мнѣ́ бы́сть, тка́телницѣ приближа́ющейся отрѣ́зати.

¹³

In that day I was given up as to a lion until the morning: so has he broken all my bones: for I was so given up from day even to night.

¹³

Въ то́й де́нь пре́данъ бы́хъ до зау́тра а́ки льву́, та́ко сокруши́ вся́ ко́сти моя́: от дне́ бо до но́щи пре́данъ бы́хъ.

¹⁴

As a swallow, so will I cry, and as a dove, so do I mourn: for mine eyes have failed with looking to the height of heaven to the Lord, who has delivered me,

¹⁴

Я́ко ла́стовица, та́ко возопію́, и я́ко го́лубь, та́ко поучу́ся: исчезо́стѣ бо о́чи мои́, є́же взира́ти на высоту́ небе́сную ко Го́споду, и́же изба́ви мя́ и отъя́ болѣ́знь души́ моєя́:

¹⁵

and removed the sorrow of my soul.

¹⁵

и то́й сотвори́ путево́дство во вся́ лѣ́та моя́.

¹⁶

Yea, O Lord, for it was told thee concerning this; and thou hast revived my breath; and I am comforted, and live.

¹⁶

Го́споди, о то́й бо возвѣсти́ся тебѣ́, и воздви́глъ єси́ дыха́ніє моє́, и утѣ́шився ожи́хъ.

¹⁷

For thou hast chosen my soul, that it should not perish: and thou hast cast all my sins behind me.

¹⁷

Изба́вилъ бо єси́ ду́шу мою́, да не поги́бнетъ, и заве́рглъ єси́ за мя́ вся́ грѣхи́ моя́.

¹⁸

For they that are in the grave shall not praise thee, neither shall the dead bless thee, neither shall they that are in Hades hope for thy mercy.

¹⁸

Не похва́лятъ бо тебе́, и́же во а́дѣ, ни уме́ршіи возблагословя́тъ тя́, и не надѣ́ются, и́же во а́дѣ, ми́лости твоєя́.

¹⁹

The living shall bless thee, as I also do: for from this day shall I beget children, who shall declare thy righteousness,

¹⁹

Живі́и же возблагословя́тъ тя́, я́коже и а́зъ: отдне́сь бо дѣ́ти сотворю́, я́же возвѣстя́тъ пра́вду твою́,

²⁰

O God of my salvation; and I will not cease blessing thee with the psaltery all the days of my life before the house of God.

²⁰

Го́споди спасе́нія моєго́: и не преста́ну благословя́ тя съ пѣ́снію вся́ дни́ живота́ моєго́ пря́мо до́му Бо́жію.

²¹

Now Esaias had said to Ezekias; Take a cake of figs, and mash them, and apply them as a plaister, and thou shalt be well.

²¹

И рече́ Иса́іа ко єзекі́и: возми́ от смо́квій и сотри́, и приложи́ пла́стырь на я́зву и здра́въ бу́деши.

²²

And Ezekias said, This is a sign to Ezekias, that I shall go up to the house of God.

²²

И рече́ єзекі́а: сіє́ зна́меніє, я́ко взы́ду въ до́мъ Бо́жій.
