< Isaiah 39 >
1 At that time, Merodach-baladan son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah, —for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick, and had recovered.
那时,巴比伦王巴拉但的儿子米罗达·巴拉但听见希西家病而痊愈,就送书信和礼物给他。
2 And Hezekiah, rejoiced over them, and showed them his house of precious things—the silver and the gold and the spices and the precious ointment and all his armoury—and all that was found among his treasures, —there was nothing, which Hezekiah, did not show them—in his house or in all his dominion.
希西家喜欢见使者,就把自己宝库的金子、银子、香料、贵重的膏油,和他武库的一切军器,并所有的财宝都给他们看;他家中和全国之内,希西家没有一样不给他们看的。
3 Then came Isaiah the prophet, unto King Hezekiah, —and said unto him—What said these men? and whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, From a land far away, came they unto me, from Babylon!
于是先知以赛亚来见希西家王,问他说:“这些人说什么?他们从哪里来见你?”希西家说:“他们从远方的巴比伦来见我。”
4 And he said, What have they seen in thy house? Then said Hezekiah, —All that is in my house, have they seen, there is nothing which I shewed them not among my treasures.
以赛亚说:“他们在你家里看见了什么?”希西家说:“凡我家中所有的,他们都看见了;我财宝中没有一样不给他们看的。”
5 Then said Isaiah unto Hezekiah, —Hear thou the word of Yahweh of hosts:
以赛亚对希西家说:“你要听万军之耶和华的话:
6 Lo! days are coming, when all that is in thy house, and that which thy fathers have treasured up until this day, shall be carried away unto Babylon, —nothing, shall be left, Saith Yahweh.
日子必到,凡你家里所有的,并你列祖积蓄到如今的,都要被掳到巴比伦去,不留下一样;这是耶和华说的。
7 And of thy sons who shall issue from thee whom thou shalt beget, shall they take away, —and they shall become eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
并且从你本身所生的众子,其中必有被掳去、在巴比伦王宫里当太监的。”
8 And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, Good is the word of Yahweh, which thou hast spoken. And he said, Surely, there shall be peace and stability in my days.
希西家对以赛亚说:“你所说耶和华的话甚好,因为在我的年日中必有太平和稳固的景况。”
