Isaiah 39
1 At the same time Merodach-baladan, son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah, because he had heard that Hezekiah was sick and had recovered.
På den tiden sände MerodachBaladan, Baladans son, Konungen i Babel, bref och skänker till Hiskia; ty han hade hört, att han hade varit sjuk, och var helbregda vorden igen.
2 Hezekiah happily welcomed the visitors and showed them what he had in his treasury—all the silver, the gold, the spices, and the expensive oils. He also showed them his whole armory and all that he had in his storehouses. In fact there wasn't anything in his palace or in the whole of his kingdom that Hezekiah didn't show them.
Då fröjdade sig Hiskia, och viste dem fataburen, silfver och guld, speceri, kostelig salvo, och all sin tyghus, och all den skatt, som han hade. Ingen ting var, som Hiskia dem icke viste, i sino huse och i sitt våld.
3 Then the prophet Isaiah went to King Hezekiah and asked him, “Where did those men come from, and what did they tell you?” “They came to see me from a long way away, from Babylon,” Hezekiah replied.
Då kom Propheten Esaia till Konungen Hiskia, och sade till honom: Hvad säga dessa männerna, och hvadan komma de till dig? Hiskia sade: De komma fjerranefter till mig, nämliga ifrå Babel.
4 “What did they see in your palace?” Isaiah asked. “They saw everything in my palace,” replied Hezekiah. “There wasn't anything in all my storehouses I didn't show them.”
Men han sade: Hvad hafva de sett uti dino huse? Hiskia sade: Allt det i mino huse är, hafva de sett, och intet är i mina håfvor, det jag dem icke vist hafver.
5 Isaiah told Hezekiah, “Listen to what the Lord says:
Och Esaia sade till Hiskia: Hör Herrans Zebaoths ord:
6 You can be certain that the time is coming when everything in your palace, and everything that your forefathers have saved up until now, will be taken away to Babylon. There will be nothing left, says the Lord.
Si, den tid kommer, att allt det uti dino huse är, och hvad dine fäder församlat hafva, intill denna dag, skall till Babel bortfördt varda, så att intet skall qvart blifva, säger Herren.
7 Some of your sons, your own offspring, will be taken to serve as eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”
Dertill skola de taga din barn, som af dig komma skola, och du födandes varder, och de måste vara kamererare i Konungens gård i Babel.
8 Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The message from the Lord that you have told me is fine.” For he said to himself, “There'll definitely be peace and safety in my lifetime.”
Och Hiskia sade till Esaia: Herrans ord är godt, det du talar; och sade: Vare dock frid och trohet i mina dagar.
