以赛亚书 38
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
希西家遘疾祈祷
38 那时，希西家病得要死。亚摩斯的儿子先知以赛亚去见他，对他说：“耶和华如此说：你当留遗命于你的家，因为你必死，不能活了。” 2 希西家就转脸朝墙，祷告耶和华说： 3 “耶和华啊，求你记念我在你面前怎样存完全的心，按诚实行事，又做你眼中所看为善的。”希西家就痛哭了。
以赛亚奉谕慰藉之
4 耶和华的话临到以赛亚说： 5 “你去告诉希西家说：‘耶和华你祖大卫的神如此说：我听见了你的祷告，看见了你的眼泪。我必加增你十五年的寿数， 6 并且我要救你和这城脱离亚述王的手，也要保护这城。 7 我耶和华必成就我所说的，我先给你一个兆头， 8 就是叫亚哈斯的日晷向前进的日影往后退十度。’”于是前进的日影果然在日晷上往后退了十度。
希西家感恩之歌
9 犹大王希西家患病已经痊愈，就作诗说： 10 “我说，正在我中年[a]之日，必进入阴间的门，我余剩的年岁不得享受。 11 我说，我必不得见耶和华，就是在活人之地不见耶和华，我与世上的居民不再见面。 12 我的住处被迁去离开我，好像牧人的帐篷一样。我将性命卷起，像织布的卷布一样，耶和华必将我从机头剪断；从早到晚，他要使我完结。 13 我使自己安静直到天亮，他像狮子折断我一切的骨头；从早到晚，他要使我完结。 14 我像燕子呢喃，像白鹤鸣叫，又像鸽子哀鸣，我因仰观，眼睛困倦。耶和华啊，我受欺压，求你为我作保！ 15 我可说什么呢？他应许我的，也给我成就了。我因心里的苦楚，在一生的年日必悄悄而行。 16 主啊，人得存活乃在乎此，我灵存活也全在此，所以求你使我痊愈，仍然存活。 17 看哪，我受大苦本为使我得平安，你因爱我的灵魂[b]，便救我脱离败坏的坑，因为你将我一切的罪扔在你的背后。 18 原来阴间不能称谢你，死亡不能颂扬你，下坑的人不能盼望你的诚实。 19 只有活人，活人必称谢你，像我今日称谢你一样，为父的必使儿女知道你的诚实。 20 耶和华肯救我，所以我们要一生一世，在耶和华殿中用丝弦的乐器唱我的诗歌。”
21 以赛亚说：“当取一块无花果饼来，贴在疮上，王必痊愈。” 22 希西家问说：“我能上耶和华的殿，有什么兆头呢？”

希西迦患病
38 那些日子，希西迦病危，亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚先知前来对他说：“耶和华说，‘你要交待后事，因为你要死了，你的病不能康复。’” 2 希西迦把脸转向墙，向耶和华祷告，说： 3 “耶和华啊，求你顾念我怎样全心、忠诚地事奉你，做你视为善的事。”希西迦痛哭起来。 4 耶和华对以赛亚说： 5 “你去告诉希西迦，‘你祖先大卫的上帝耶和华说，我听见了你的祷告，也看见了你的眼泪，我要使你的寿命增加十五年。 6 我要从亚述王手中拯救你和这城，我要保护这城。’” 21 [a]以赛亚说：“拿一块无花果饼贴在王的疮上，他就会痊愈。” 22 希西迦问：“有什么兆头能证明我可以再上耶和华的殿吗？” 7 以赛亚说：“耶和华要给你一个预兆，以证明祂言出必行。 8 祂要使亚哈斯日晷上的日影后退十度。”果然，日影后退了十度。
9 犹大王希西迦病愈后，
写了一首诗：
10 “我以为自己盛年之际，
就要踏入阴间之门，
不能享受余年。
11 我以为再也见不到耶和华，
在世间再不能见到祂，
也不能再见到世人。
12 我的生命像牧人的帐篷一样被拆走，
像织布机上的布匹一样被剪断。
一日之间，祂使我的生命嘎然而止。
13 我整夜哀号，
好像被狮子咬断了全身的骨头。
一日之间，祂使我的生命嘎然而止。
14 “我像燕、鹤一样哀鸣，
像鸽子一样呻吟；
我举目望天，双眼疲倦。
耶和华啊！
我困苦不堪，求你保护我。
15 我能说什么呢？
祂对我说的，祂都亲自成就了。
因为心灵的苦痛，我要一生谨慎而行。
16 “主啊，你的管教使人存活，
使我的心灵有活力。
主啊，求你使我身体复原，
让我存活。
17 其实我受大苦对我有益。
你施慈爱，从死亡的深坑中拯救我的生命，
将我一切罪恶抛在你背后。
18 阴间不能称谢你，
死亡不能赞美你，
下坟墓的人不能仰望你的信实。
19 只有活着的人才能像我今天这样赞美你，
并且把你的信实告诉下一代。
20 “耶和华必救我，
我们要一生一世在祂殿中弹琴歌唱。”

Isaiah 38
King James Version
38 In 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.
2 Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the Lord,
3 And 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.
4 Then came the word of the Lord to Isaiah, saying,
5 Go, 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.
6 And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city.
7 And this shall be a sign unto thee from the Lord, that the Lord will do this thing that he hath spoken;
8 Behold, 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.
9 The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness:
10 I 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.
11 I 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.
12 Mine 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.
13 I 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.
14 Like 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.
15 What 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.
16 O 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.
17 Behold, 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.
18 For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.
19 The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.
20 The 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.
21 For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaister upon the boil, and he shall recover.
22 Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the Lord?
Isaiah 38
New King James Version
Hezekiah’s Life Extended(A)
38 In (B)those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, went to him and said to him, “Thus says the Lord: (C)‘Set your house in order, for you shall die and not live.’ ”
2 Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the Lord, 3 and said, (D)“Remember now, O Lord, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a [a]loyal heart, and have done what is good in Your (E)sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
4 And the word of the Lord came to Isaiah, saying, 5 “Go and tell Hezekiah, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father: “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will add to your days fifteen years. 6 I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria, and (F)I will defend this city.” ’ 7 And this is (G)the sign to you from the Lord, that the Lord will do this thing which He has spoken: 8 Behold, I will bring the shadow on the sundial, which has gone down with the sun on the sundial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward.” So the sun returned ten degrees on the dial by which it had gone down.
9 This is the writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick and had recovered from his sickness:
10 I said,
“In the prime of my life
I shall go to the gates of Sheol;
I am deprived of the remainder of my years.”
11 I said,
“I shall not see [b]Yah,
The Lord (H)in the land of the living;
I shall observe man no more [c]among the inhabitants of [d]the world.
12 (I)My life span is gone,
Taken from me like a shepherd’s tent;
I have cut off my life like a weaver.
He cuts me off from the loom;
From day until night You make an end of me.
13 I have considered until morning—
Like a lion,
So He breaks all my bones;
From day until night You make an end of me.
14 Like a crane or a swallow, so I chattered;
(J)I mourned like a dove;
My eyes fail from looking upward.
O [e]Lord, I am oppressed;
[f]Undertake for me!
15 “What shall I say?
[g]He has both spoken to me,
And He Himself has done it.
I shall walk carefully all my years
(K)In the bitterness of my soul.
16 O Lord, by these things men live;
And in all these things is the life of my spirit;
So You will restore me and make me live.
17 Indeed it was for my own peace
That I had great bitterness;
But You have lovingly delivered my soul from the pit of corruption,
For You have cast all my sins behind Your back.
18 For (L)Sheol cannot thank You,
Death cannot praise You;
Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your truth.
19 The living, the living man, he shall praise You,
As I do this day;
(M)The father shall make known Your truth to the children.
20 “The Lord was ready to save me;
Therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments
All the days of our life, in the house of the Lord.”
21 Now (N)Isaiah had said, “Let them take a lump of figs, and apply it as a poultice on the boil, and he shall recover.”
22 And (O)Hezekiah had said, “What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the Lord?”
