Isaiah 39
1 At that time, Merodach Baladan, the son of Baladan, the king of Babylon, sent letters and gifts to Hezekiah. For he had heard that he had fallen ill and had recovered.
Κατ' εκείνον τον καιρόν Μερωδάχ-βαλαδάν, ο υιός του Βαλαδάν, βασιλεύς της Βαβυλώνος, έστειλεν επιστολάς και δώρα προς τον Εζεκίαν, ακούσας ότι ηρρώστησε και ανέλαβε.
2 And Hezekiah rejoiced over them, and he showed them the storehouses of his aromatic spices, and of the silver and gold, and of the perfumes and precious ointments, and all the repositories for his belongings, and all the things that were found in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah did not show them.
Και εχάρη δι' αυτά ο Εζεκίας και έδειξεν εις αυτούς τον οίκον των πολυτίμων πραγμάτων αυτού, τον άργυρον και τον χρυσόν και τα αρώματα και τα πολύτιμα μύρα και πάσαν την οπλοθήκην αυτού και παν ό, τι ευρίσκετο εν τοις θησαυροίς αυτού· δεν ήτο ουδέν εν τω οίκω αυτού ουδέ υπό πάσαν την εξουσίαν αυτού, το οποίον ο Εζεκίας δεν έδειξεν εις αυτούς.
3 Then Isaiah the prophet entered before king Hezekiah, and he said to him, “What did these men say, and from where did they come to you?” And Hezekiah said, “They came to me from a far away land, from Babylon.”
Τότε ήλθεν Ησαΐας ο προφήτης προς τον βασιλέα Εζεκίαν και είπε προς αυτόν, Τι λέγουσιν ούτοι οι άνθρωποι και πόθεν ήλθον προς σε; Και ο Εζεκίας είπεν, Από γης μακράς έρχονται προς εμέ, από Βαβυλώνος.
4 And he said, “What did they see in your house?” And Hezekiah said: “They have seen all the things that are in my house. There was nothing that I did not show them among my treasures.”
Ο δε είπε, Τι είδον εν τω οίκω σου; Και απεκρίθη ο Εζεκίας, Είδον παν ό, τι είναι εν τω οίκω μου· δεν είναι ουδέν εν τοις θησαυροίς μου, το οποίον δεν έδειξα εις αυτούς.
5 And Isaiah said to Hezekiah: “Hear the word of the Lord of hosts:
Τότε είπεν ο Ησαΐας προς τον Εζεκίαν, Άκουσον τον λόγον του Κυρίου των δυνάμεων.
6 Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and all that your fathers have stored up, even to this day, will be taken away to Babylon. There will be nothing left behind, says the Lord.
Ιδού, έρχονται ημέραι, καθ' ας παν ό, τι είναι εν τω οίκω σου και ό, τι οι πατέρες σου εναπεταμίευσαν μέχρι της ημέρας ταύτης, θέλει μετακομισθή εις την Βαβυλώνα· δεν θέλει μείνει ουδέν, λέγει Κύριος·
7 And your children, who will issue from you, whom you will produce, they will be taken away. And they will become eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”
και εκ των υιών σου, οίτινες θέλουσιν εξέλθει από σου, τους οποίους θέλεις γεννήσει, θέλουσι λάβει· και θέλουσι γείνει ευνούχοι εν τω παλατίω του βασιλέως της Βαβυλώνος.
8 And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of the Lord which he has spoken is good.” And he said, “But let there be peace and truth in my days.”
Τότε είπεν ο Εζεκίας προς τον Ησαΐαν, Καλός ο λόγος του Κυρίου, τον οποίον ελάλησας. Είπεν έτι, Διότι θέλει είσθαι ειρήνη και ασφάλεια εν ταις ημέραις μου.
