< 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 had recovered.
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。
2 Hezekiah was pleased with them, and showed them the house of his precious things, the silver, the gold, 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.
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。
3 Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah, and asked him, “What did these men say? From where did they come to you?” Hezekiah said, “They have come from a country far from me, even from Babylon.”
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。”
4 Then he asked, “What have they seen in your house?” Hezekiah answered, “They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.”
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。”
5 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the LORD of Armies:
以赛亚对希西家说:“你要听万军之耶和华的话:
6 ‘Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have stored up until today, will be carried to Babylon. Nothing will be left,’ says the LORD.
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。
7 ‘They will take away your sons who will issue from you, whom you shall father, and they will be eunuchs in the king of Babylon’s palace.’”
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。”
8 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The LORD’s word which you have spoken is good.” He said moreover, “For there will be peace and truth in my days.”
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。”
