< 以赛亚书 39 >
1 那时,巴比伦王巴拉但的儿子米罗达·巴拉但听见希西家病而痊愈,就送书信和礼物给他。
At that time Merodach Baladan, the son of Baladan king of Babylon, sent letters and presents to Ezechias: for he had heard that he had been sick and was recovered.
2 希西家喜欢见使者,就把自己宝库的金子、银子、香料、贵重的膏油,和他武库的一切军器,并所有的财宝都给他们看;他家中和全国之内,希西家没有一样不给他们看的。
And Ezechias rejoiced at their coming, and he shewed them the storehouses of his aromatical spices, and of the silver, and of the gold, and of the sweet odours, and of the precious ointment, and all the storehouses of his furniture, and all things that were found in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion that Ezechias shewed them not.
3 于是先知以赛亚来见希西家王,问他说:“这些人说什么?他们从哪里来见你?”希西家说:“他们从远方的巴比伦来见我。”
Then Isaias the prophet came to king Ezechias, and said to him: What said these men, and from whence came they to thee? And Ezechias said: From a far country they came to me, from Babylon.
4 以赛亚说:“他们在你家里看见了什么?”希西家说:“凡我家中所有的,他们都看见了;我财宝中没有一样不给他们看的。”
And he said: What saw they in thy house? And Ezechias said: All things that are in my house have they seen, there was not any thing which I have not shewn them in my treasures.
And Isaias said to Ezechias: Rear the word of the Lord of hosts.
6 日子必到,凡你家里所有的,并你列祖积蓄到如今的,都要被掳到巴比伦去,不留下一样;这是耶和华说的。
Behold the days shall come, that all that is in thy house, and that thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried away into Babylon: there shall not any thing be left, saith the Lord.
7 并且从你本身所生的众子,其中必有被掳去、在巴比伦王宫里当太监的。”
And of thy children, that shall issue from thee, whom thou shalt beget, they shall take away, and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
8 希西家对以赛亚说:“你所说耶和华的话甚好,因为在我的年日中必有太平和稳固的景况。”
And Ezechias said to Isaias: The word of the Lord, which he hath spoken, is good. And he said: Only let peace and truth be in my days.
