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 Merodac-Baladán, hijo de Baladán, rey de Babilonia, al saber que Ezequías estuvo enfermo y fue restablecido, le envió cartas y un presente.
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.
Ezequías se alegró con ellos. Les mostró la tesorería, la plata y el oro, las especias y los ungüentos aromáticos, toda su casa de armas y todo lo que se encontraba entre sus tesoros. No hubo algo en su palacio ni en sus dominios que Ezequías no les mostrara.
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 el profeta Isaías fue al rey Ezequías y le preguntó: ¿Qué dijeron aquellos hombres y de dónde vienen a visitarte? Ezequías respondió: De una tierra lejana vinieron a visitarme, 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.
Isaías le preguntó: ¿Qué vieron en tu palacio? Y Ezequías respondió: Vieron todo cuanto hay en mi palacio. Nada hay entre mis tesoros que no les mostré.
5 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Hear the word of Jehovah of hosts:
Entonces Isaías dijo a Ezequías: Escucha la Palabra de Yavé de las huestes:
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.
Mira, vienen días cuando todo lo que hay en tu palacio, cuanto tus antepasados atesoraron hasta hoy, será llevado a Babilonia. Nada quedará, dice Yavé.
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.
Tomarán de los hijos que descienden de ti, a quienes tú engendraste, para que sean oficiales 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.
Entonces Ezequías dijo a Isaías: La Palabra de Yavé que hablaste es buena. Porque pensó: Habrá paz y seguridad en mis días.
