Isaiah 39
1 At that time Merodach-baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he heard that he had been sick, and was recovered.
En aquel tiempo envió Merodac Baladán, hijo de Baladán, rey de Babilonia, cartas y presentes a Ezequías; porque supo que Ezequías había estado enfermo y se había curado.
2 And Hezekiah was glad of them, and showed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil, and all the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah did not show them.
Alegrose de esto Ezequías y mostró a los (mensajeros) la casa de su tesoro, la plata, el oro, los perfumes, los ungüentos olorosos, toda su armería y cuanto tenía en su tesorería. No hubo nada en la casa de Ezequías, ni en su poder, que no les mostrase.
3 Then Isaiah the prophet came to king Hezekiah, and said to him, What did these men say? And from where did they come to thee? And Hezekiah said, They have come from a far country to me, even from Babylon.
Entonces se presentó el profeta Isaías ante el rey Ezequías y le preguntó: “¿Qué han dicho esos hombres, y de dónde han llegado a ti?” Respondió Ezequías: “De un país lejano han venido a verme: de Babilonia.”
4 Then he said, What have they seen in thy house? And Hezekiah answered, They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.
Y le preguntó: “¿Qué han visto en tu casa?” Repuso Ezequías: “Han visto todo cuanto hay en mi casa; no hay cosa entre mis tesoros que no les haya mostrado.”
5 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Hear the word of Jehovah of hosts:
Mas Isaías dijo a Ezequías: “Oye la palabra de Yahvé de los ejércitos:
6 Behold, the days are coming, when all that is in thy house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon. Nothing shall be left, says Jehovah.
He aquí que días vendrán en que será llevado a Babilonia todo cuanto hay en tu casa, y cuanto han atesorado tus padres hasta este día; no quedará nada, dice Yahvé.
7 And of thy sons who shall issue from thee, whom thou shall beget, they shall take away, and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
Y de los hijos que nacieren de ti y que tú engendrares serán llevados algunos para ser eunucos en el palacio del rey de Babilonia.”
8 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, The word of Jehovah which thou have spoken is good. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.
Respondió Ezequías a Isaías: “Buena es la palabra de Yahvé que tú acabas de anunciarme.” Y agregó: “Habrá, pues, paz y seguridad en mis días.”
