Isaiah 39
1 At that time Merodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah: for he had heard that he had been sick, and was recovered.
Kring den tid sende Babel-kongen Merodak Baladan Baladansson brev og gåva til Hizkia, då han høyrde at han hadde vore sjuk og vorte frisk att.
2 And Hezekiah was glad of them, and showed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah showed them not.
Hizkia var glad for dei kom, og han synte deim skattkammeret sitt, sylvet og gullet og kryddorne og den kostelege oljen, og heile våpnhuset sitt og alt som fanst i skattkammeri hans; det fanst ikkje den ting i hans hus og i heile hans rike som ikkje Hizkia synte deim.
3 Then came Isaiah the prophet to king Hezekiah, and said to him, What said these men? and from where came they to you? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country to me, even from Babylon.
Då kom profeten Jesaja til kong Hizkia og spurde honom: «Kva hev desse mennerne sagt, og kvar helst kom dei frå til deg?» Og Hizkia svara: «Frå eit land langt burte, frå Babel kom dei til meg.»
4 Then said he, What have they seen in your house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in my house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not showed them.
«Kva hev dei set i huset ditt?» spurde han. «Alt som i huset mitt finst hev dei set, » svara Hizkia; «det fanst ikkje den ting i skattkammeri mine som eg ikkje synte deim.»
5 Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD of hosts:
Då sagde Jesaja til Hizkia: «Høyr ordet frå Herren, allhers drott:
6 Behold, the days come, that all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, says the LORD.
Sjå, dagar kjem då alt som finst i huset ditt, det federne dine hev samla alt til i dag, det skal verta ført til Babel; aldri ein grand skal verta att, segjer Herren.
7 And of your sons that shall issue from you, which you shall beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
Og sume av sønerne dine, ætta frå deg, utstokne frå deg, skal takast, og dei skal verta hirdmenner i slottet åt Babel-kongen.»
8 Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which you have spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.
Då sagde Hizkia til Jesaja: «Godt er Herrens ord som du hev tala.» Og han sagde framleides: «Det vert då fred og trygd so lenge eg liver.»
