Isaiah 39

1 At that time Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters with an offering to Hezekiah, because he had news that Hezekiah had been ill, and was well again.

Ob tistem času je babilonski kralj Merodáh Baladán poslal Ezekíju pisma in darilo, kajti slišal je, da je bil bolan in je okreval.

2 And Hezekiah was glad at their coming, and let them see all his store of wealth, the silver and the gold and the spices and the oil, and all the house of his arms, and everything there was in his stores: there was nothing in all his house or his kingdom which he did not let them see.

Ezekíja jih je bil vesel in jim razkazal hišo svojih dragocenih stvari: srebro, zlato, dišave, dragoceno mazilo in vso hišo svoje orožarne in vsega, kar se je našlo v njegovih zakladnicah. Ničesar ni bilo v njegovi hiši niti v vsem njegovem gospostvu, česar jim Ezekíja ni razkazal.

3 Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah, and said to him, What did these men say, and where did they come from? And Hezekiah said, They came from a far country, even from Babylon.

Potem je prerok Izaija prišel h kralju Ezekíju in mu rekel: »Kaj so rekli ti možje? In od kod so prišli k tebi?« Ezekíja je rekel: »K meni so prišli iz daljne dežele, celó iz Babilona.«

4 And he said, What have they seen in your house? And Hezekiah said in answer, They saw everything in my house: there is nothing among my stores which I did not let them see.

Potem je rekel: »Kaj so videli v tvoji hiši?« Ezekíja je odgovoril: »Videli so vse, kar je v moji hiši. Ničesar ni med mojimi zakladi, česar jim ne bi pokazal.«

5 Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Give ear to the word of the Lord of armies:

Potem Izaija reče Ezekíju: »Poslušaj besedo Gospoda nad bojevniki:

6 Truly, the days are coming when everything in your house, and whatever your fathers have put in store till this day, will be taken away to Babylon: all will be gone.

›Glej, prihajajo dnevi, da bo vse, kar je v tvoji hiši in to, kar so tvoji očetje prihranili v shrambi do tega dne, odneseno v Babilon. Nič ne bo ostalo, ‹ govori Gospod.

7 And your sons, even your offspring, will they take away to be unsexed servants in the house of the king of Babylon.

›In izmed tvojih sinov, ki bodo izšli iz tebe, ki jih boš zaplodil, jih bodo odvedli proč in bodo evnuhi v palači babilonskega kralja.‹«

8 Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord which you have said. And he said in his heart, There will be peace and quiet in my days.

Potem je Ezekíja rekel Izaiju: »Dobra je Gospodova beseda, ki si jo povedal.« Poleg tega je rekel: »Kajti mir in resnica bosta v mojih dneh.«
