 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLEIsaiah:38Biblia Hebraica (Stuttgartensia) | BHS (pdf - 3.5mb)  

1 In those days Hezekiah became sick and was at the point of death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, "Thus says Yahweh: Set your house in order; for you shall die, you shall not recover." Hezekiah's illness & recovery. Is.38.1-22 | 2Kgs.20.1-11 | 2Chr.32.24-26בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם חָלָה חִזְקִיָּהוּ לָמוּת וַיָּבֹוא אֵלָיו יְשַׁעְיָהוּ בֶן־אָמֹוץ הַנָּבִיא וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו כֹּה־אָמַר יְהוָה צַו לְבֵיתֶךָ כִּי מֵת אַתָּה וְלֹא תִחְיֶה׃
2 Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed to Yahweh,  וַיַּסֵּב חִזְקִיָּהוּ פָּנָיו אֶל־הַקִּיר וַיִּתְפַּלֵּל אֶל־יְהוָה׃
3 and said, "Remember now, O Yahweh, I beseech you, how I have walked before you in faithfulness and with a whole heart, and have done what is good in your sight." And Hezekiah wept bitterly.  וַיֹּאמַר אָנָּה יְהוָה זְכָר־נָא אֵת אֲשֶׁר הִתְהַלַּכְתִּי לְפָנֶיךָ בֶּאֱמֶת וּבְלֵב שָׁלֵם וְהַטֹּוב בְּעֵינֶיךָ עָשִׂיתִי וַיֵּבְךְּ חִזְקִיָּהוּ בְּכִי גָדֹול׃ ס
4 Then the word of Yahweh came to Isaiah:  וַיְהִי דְּבַר־יְהוָה אֶל־יְשַׁעְיָהוּ לֵאמֹר׃
5 "Go and say to Hezekiah, Thus says Yahweh, the God of David your father: I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; behold, I will add fifteen years to your life.  הָלֹוךְ וְאָמַרְתָּ אֶל־חִזְקִיָּהוּ כֹּה־אָמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי דָּוִד אָבִיךָ שָׁמַעְתִּי אֶת־תְּפִלָּתֶךָ רָאִיתִי אֶת־דִּמְעָתֶךָ הִנְנִי יֹוסִף עַל־יָמֶיךָ חֲמֵשׁ עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה׃
6 I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and defend this city.  וּמִכַּף מֶלֶךְ־אַשּׁוּר אַצִּילְךָ וְאֵת הָעִיר הַזֹּאת וְגַנֹּותִי עַל־הָעִיר הַזֹּאת׃
7 "This is the sign to you from Yahweh, that Yahweh will do this thing that he has promised:  וְזֶה־לְּךָ הָאֹות מֵאֵת יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר יַעֲשֶׂה יְהוָה אֶת־הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר דִּבֵּר׃
8 Behold, I will make the shadow cast by the declining sun on the dial of Ahaz turn back ten steps." So the sun turned back on the dial the ten steps by which it had declined.  הִנְנִי מֵשִׁיב אֶת־צֵל הַמַּעֲלֹות אֲשֶׁר יָרְדָה בְמַעֲלֹות אָחָז בַּשֶּׁמֶשׁ אֲחֹרַנִּית עֶשֶׂר מַעֲלֹות וַתָּשָׁב הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ עֶשֶׂר מַעֲלֹות בַּמַּעֲלֹות אֲשֶׁר יָרָדָה׃ ס
9 A writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, after he had been sick and had recovered from his sickness: Hezekiah's psalm of praise. מִכְתָּב לְחִזְקִיָּהוּ מֶלֶךְ־יְהוּדָה בַּחֲלֹתֹו וַיְחִי מֵחָלְיֹו׃
10 I said, In the noontide of my days
I must depart;
I am consigned to the gates of Sheol
for the rest of my years.
 אֲנִי אָמַרְתִּי בִּדְמִי יָמַי אֵלֵכָה בְּשַׁעֲרֵי שְׁאֹול פֻּקַּדְתִּי יֶתֶר שְׁנֹותָי׃
11 I said, I shall not see Yahweh
in the land of the living;
I shall look upon man no more
among the inhabitants of the world.
 אָמַרְתִּי לֹא־אֶרְאֶה יָהּ יָהּ בְּאֶרֶץ הַחַיִּים לֹא־אַבִּיט אָדָם עֹוד עִם־יֹושְׁבֵי חָדֶל׃
12 My dwelling is plucked up and removed from me
like a shepherd's tent;
like a weaver I have rolled up my life;
he cuts me off from the loom;
from day to night you bring me to an end;
 דֹּורִי נִסַּע וְנִגְלָה מִנִּי כְּאֹהֶל רֹעִי קִפַּדְתִּי כָאֹרֵג חַיַּי מִדַּלָּה יְבַצְּעֵנִי מִיֹּום עַד־לַיְלָה תַּשְׁלִימֵנִי׃
13 I cry for help until morning;
like a lion he breaks all my bones;
from day to night you bring me to an end.
 שִׁוִּיתִי עַד־בֹּקֶר כָּאֲרִי כֵּן יְשַׁבֵּר כָּל־עַצְמֹותָי מִיֹּום עַד־לַיְלָה תַּשְׁלִימֵנִי׃
14 Like a swallow or a crane I clamor,
I moan like a dove.
My eyes are weary with looking upward.
O Yahweh, I am oppressed; be you my security!
 כְּסוּס עָגוּר כֵּן אֲצַפְצֵף אֶהְגֶּה כַּיֹּונָה דַּלּוּ עֵינַי לַמָּרֹום אֲדֹנָי עָשְׁקָה־לִּי עָרְבֵנִי׃
15 But what can I say? For he has spoken to me,
and he himself has done it.
All my sleep has fled
because of the bitterness of my soul.
 מָה־אֲדַבֵּר וְאָמַר־לִי וְהוּא עָשָׂה אֶדַּדֶּה כָל־שְׁנֹותַי עַל־מַר נַפְשִׁי׃
16 O Yahweh, by these things men live,
and in all these is the life of my spirit.
Oh, restore me to health and make me live!
 אֲדֹנָי עֲלֵיהֶם יִחְיוּ וּלְכָל־בָּהֶן חַיֵּי רוּחִי וְתַחֲלִימֵנִי וְהַחֲיֵנִי׃
17 Lo, it was for my welfare that I had great bitterness;
but you have held back my life from the pit of destruction,
for you have cast all my sins behind your back.
 הִנֵּה לְשָׁלֹום מַר־לִי מָר וְאַתָּה חָשַׁקְתָּ נַפְשִׁי מִשַּׁחַת בְּלִי כִּי הִשְׁלַכְתָּ אַחֲרֵי גֵוְךָ כָּל־חֲטָאָי׃
18 For Sheol cannot thank you,
death cannot praise you;
those who go down to the pit
cannot hope for your faithfulness.
 כִּי לֹא שְׁאֹול תֹּודֶךָּ מָוֶת יְהַלְלֶךָּ לֹא־יְשַׂבְּרוּ יֹורְדֵי־בֹור אֶל־אֲמִתֶּךָ׃
19 The living, the living, he thanks you,
as I do this day;
the father makes known to the children
your faithfulness.
 חַי חַי הוּא יֹודֶךָ כָּמֹונִי הַיֹּום אָב לְבָנִים יֹודִיעַ אֶל־אֲמִתֶּךָ׃
20 Yahweh will save me,
and we will sing to stringed instruments
all the days of our life,
at the house of Yahweh.
 יְהוָה לְהֹושִׁיעֵנִי וּנְגִנֹותַי נְנַגֵּן כָּל־יְמֵי חַיֵּינוּ עַל־בֵּית יְהוָה׃
21 Now Isaiah had said, "Let them take a cake of figs, and apply it to the boil, that he may recover."  וַיֹּאמֶר יְשַׁעְיָהוּ יִשְׂאוּ דְּבֶלֶת תְּאֵנִים וְיִמְרְחוּ עַל־הַשְּׁחִין וְיֶחִי׃
22 Hezekiah also had said, "What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of Yahweh?"  וַיֹּאמֶר חִזְקִיָּהוּ מָה אֹות כִּי אֶעֱלֶה בֵּית יְהוָה׃ ס

Notes: This webpage enables you to select-a-version from the Bible versions held on the katapi bible database.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have printed 'YHWH' in black. The later vowel sounds I have shown in the colour gray;
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
