Isaiah 39

1 At that time, Merodach-Baladan, son of Baladan, king of Babylon, has sent letters and a present to Hezekiah when he hears that he has been sick and has become strong.

那時，巴比倫王巴拉丹的兒子默洛達客巴拉丹給希則克雅呈上書信和禮物，因為他聽說希則克雅患病好了。

2 And Hezekiah rejoices over them, and shows them the house of his spices, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the good ointment, and all the house of his vessels, and all that has been found in his treasures; there has not been a thing in his house, and in all his dominion, that Hezekiah has not showed them.

希則克雅對他們非常 高興，就叫使者參觀自己的寶庫、金銀、香料、珍膏和武器，以及他府庫內所有的財寶：凡他宮中和全國內所有的，希則克雅沒有不叫他們參觀的。

3 And Isaiah the prophet comes to King Hezekiah and says to him, “What did these men say? And from where do they come to you?” And Hezekiah says, “They have come to me from a far-off land—from Babylon.”

依撒意亞先知來到希則克雅王前對他說：「這些人說了什麼﹖他們是從什麼地方到你這裏來的﹖」希則克雅回答說：「他們是從遠方，從巴比倫到我這裏來的。」

4 And he says, “What did they see in your house?” And Hezekiah says, “They saw all that [is] in my house; there has not been a thing that I have not showed them among my treasures.”

先知又問說：「他們在你宮裏看見了什麼﹖」希則克雅回答說：「凡我宮裏所有的，他們都看了；凡我府庫內所有的，沒有一樣我不叫他們不看的。」

5 And Isaiah says to Hezekiah, “Hear a word of YHWH of Hosts:

依撒意亞遂對希則克雅說：「你聽萬軍上主的話罷！

6 Behold, days are coming, and all that [is] in your house, and that your fathers have treasured up until this day, has been carried to Babylon; there is not a thing left, said YHWH;

看，日子要到，凡你宮中所有的，及你祖先直到今日所積蓄的，都要被帶到巴比倫去，什麼都不會留下：上主說。

7 and of your sons who come forth from you, whom you beget, they take, and they have been eunuchs in a palace of the king of Babylon.”

此外，由你所出，即你所生的子孫中，也有一些要被擄去，在巴比倫王的宮殿裏充當太監。」

8 And Hezekiah says to Isaiah, “The word of YHWH that you have spoken [is] good”; and he says, “Because there is peace and truth in my days.”

希則克雅便對依撒意亞說：「你所說的上主的話很好。」他想：「只願在我有生之日有平安，有安全！」
