< Esias 39 >
1 At that time Marodach Baladan, the son of Baladan, the king of Babylonia, sent letters and ambassadors and gifts to Ezekias: for he had heard that he had been sick [even] to death, and was recovered.
Naquele tempo enviou Merodach-baladan, filho de Baladan, rei de Babilônia, cartas e um presente a Ezequias, porque tinha ouvido dizer que havia estado doente e que já tinha convalescido.
2 And Ezekias was glad of their coming, and he showed them the house of [his] spices, and of silver, and gold, and myrrh, and incense, and ointment, and all the houses of his treasures, and all that he had in his stores: and there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, which Ezekias did not show.
E Ezequias se alegrou deles, e lhes mostrou a casa do seu tesouro, a prata, e o ouro, e as especiarias, e os melhores unguentos, e toda a sua casa de armas, e tudo quanto se achou nos seus tesouros: coisa nenhuma houve, nem em sua casa, nem em todo o seu domínio, que Ezequias lhes não mostrasse.
3 And Esaias the prophet came to king Ezekias, and said to him, What say these men? and whence came they to you? and Ezekias said, They are come to me from a land afar off, from Babylon.
Então o profeta Isaias veio ao rei Ezequias, e lhe disse: Que é o que aqueles homens disseram, e de onde vieram a ti? E disse Ezequias: de uma terra remota vieram a mim, de Babilônia.
4 And Esaias said, What have they seen in your house? and Ezekias said, They have seen everything in my house; and there is nothing in my house which they have not seen: yes, also the [possessions] in my treasuries.
E disse ele: Que é o que viram em tua casa? E disse Ezequias: Viram tudo quanto há em minha casa; coisa nenhuma há nos meus tesouros que eu deixasse de lhes mostrar.
5 And Esaias said to him, Hear the word of the Lord of hosts:
Então disse Isaias a Ezequias: Ouve a palavra do Senhor dos exércitos:
6 Behold, the days come, when they shall take all the [things that are] in your house, and all that your fathers have gathered until this day, shall go to Babylon; and they shall not leave anything at all: and God has said,
Eis que veem dias em que tudo quanto houver em tua casa, e o que enthesouraram teus pais até ao dia de hoje será levado para Babilônia: não ficará coisa alguma, disse o Senhor.
7 that they shall take also of your children whom you shall beget; and they shall make them eunuchs in the house of the king of the Babylonians.
E ainda até de teus filhos, que procederem de ti, e tu gerares, tomarão, para que sejam eunucos no palácio do rei de Babilônia.
8 And Ezekias said to Esaias, Good is the word of the Lord, which he has spoken: let there, I pray, be peace and righteousness in my days.
Então disse Ezequias a Isaias: Boa é a palavra do Senhor que disseste. Disse mais: Pois haja paz e verdade em meus dias.
