< 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,巴比倫王巴拉但的兒子米羅達‧巴拉但聽見希西家病而痊癒,就送書信和禮物給他。
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.
希西家喜歡見使者,就把自己寶庫的金子、銀子、香料、貴重的膏油,和他武庫的一切軍器,並所有的財寶都給他們看;他家中和全國之內,希西家沒有一樣不給他們看的。
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.”
於是先知以賽亞來見希西家王,問他說:「這些人說甚麼?他們從哪裏來見你?」希西家說:「他們從遠方的巴比倫來見我。」
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.”
以賽亞說:「他們在你家裏看見了甚麼?」希西家說:「凡我家中所有的,他們都看見了;我財寶中沒有一樣不給他們看的。」
5 And Isaiah says to Hezekiah, “Hear a word of YHWH of Hosts:
以賽亞對希西家說:「你要聽萬軍之耶和華的話:
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;
日子必到,凡你家裏所有的,並你列祖積蓄到如今的,都要被擄到巴比倫去,不留下一樣;這是耶和華說的。
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.”
並且從你本身所生的眾子,其中必有被擄去、在巴比倫王宮裏當太監的。」
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.”
希西家對以賽亞說:「你所說耶和華的話甚好,因為在我的年日中必有太平和穩固的景況。」
