cut it from the loom 割斷







 


I said: In the noon of my life


I have to depart


for the gates of Sheol


I am deprived of the rest of my years...


My tent is pulled up, and thrown away


like the tent of a shepherd;


like a weaver you roll up my life


to cut it from the loom


 


-- from the canticle of Hezeliah


Isaiah 38:10,12



 


正當盛年


我就要離去


我的余年將會交給陰府之門


我的居所被拆除,從我身上拆去


彷彿是牧童上的帳棚


你好像是織工,捲起了我的生命


由織機上將我割斷


 


 


--希西家聖歌


  以賽亞書 38:10,12

    Sheol is the Hebrew word for “the grave” or “the place of the dead."

    A canticle (from the Latin canticulum, a diminutive of canticum, song) is a hymn (strictly excluding the Psalms) taken from the Bible. The term is often expanded to included ancient non-biblical hymns such as the Te Deum and certain psalms used liturgically.

    Hezekiah (or Ezekias) (Hebrew: חזקיה or חזקיהו, "God has strengthened") was the 13th king of independent Judah and the son of King Ahaz and Abijah (2 Chronicles 29:1), who was a daughter of a man (who was not the prophet) named Zechariah.
