< 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.
En aquel tiempo Merodac-baladán, hijo de Baladán, rey de Babilonia, envió cartas y presentes a Ezequías; porque había oído que había estado enfermo, y que había convalecido.
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.
Y holgóse con ellos Ezequías, y enseñóles la casa de su tesoro, plata, y oro, y especierías, y ungüentos preciosos, y toda su casa de armas, y todo lo que se pudo hallar en sus tesoros: no hubo cosa en su casa, y en todo su señorío, que Ezequías no les mostrase.
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.
Entonces Isaías profeta vino al rey Ezequías, y díjole: ¿Qué dicen estos hombres, y de dónde han venido a ti? Y Ezequías respondió: De tierra muy lejos han venido a mí, de Babilonia.
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.
Dijo entonces: ¿Qué han visto en tu casa? Y dijo Ezequías: Todo lo que hay en mi casa han visto, y ninguna cosa hay en mis tesoros que no les haya mostrado.
5 And Esaias said to him, Hear the word of the Lord of hosts:
Entonces Isaías dijo a Ezequías: Oye palabra de Jehová de los ejércitos:
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,
He aquí que vienen días en que todo lo que hay en tu casa será llevado a Babilonia, y todo lo que tus padres han guardado hasta hoy: ninguna cosa quedará, dice Jehová.
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.
De tus hijos, que hubieren salido de ti, y que engendraste, tomarán, y serán eunucos en el palacio del rey de Babilonia.
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.
Y dijo Ezequías a Isaías: La palabra de Jehová que hablaste es buena. Y dijo: A lo menos haya paz y verdad en mis días.
