< Isaiah 39 >

1 At that time Marduk-Baladan son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah; for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick and had recovered.
In tempore illo misit Merodach Baladan filius Baladan rex Babylonis, libros et munera ad Ezechiam: audierat enim quod aegrotasset, et convaluisset.
2 Hezekiah was pleased by these things; he showed the messengers his storehouse of valuable things—the silver, the gold, the spices and precious oil, the storehouse of his weapons, and all that was found in his storehouses. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his kingdom, that Hezekiah did not show them.
Laetatus est autem super eis Ezechias, et ostendit eis cellam aromatum, et argenti, et auri, et odoramentorum, et unguenti optimi, et omnes apothecas supellectilis suae, et universa quae inventa sunt in thesauris eius. Non fuit verbum, quod non ostenderet eis Ezechias in domo sua, et in omni potestate sua.
3 Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and asked him, “What did these men say to you? Where did they come from?” Hezekiah said, “They came to me from the distant country of Babylon.”
Introivit autem Isaias propheta ad Ezechiam regem, et dixit ei: Quid dixerunt viri isti, et unde venerunt ad te? Et dixit Ezechias: De terra longinqua venerunt ad me, de Babylone.
4 Isaiah asked, “What have they seen in your house?” Hezekiah answered, “They have seen everything in my house. There is nothing among my valuable things that I have not shown them.”
Et dixit: Quid viderunt in domo tua? Et dixit Ezechias: Omnia, quae in domo mea sunt, viderunt: non fuit res, quam non ostenderim eis in thesauris meis.
5 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Listen to the word of Yahweh of hosts:
Et dixit Isaias ad Ezechiam: Audi verbum Domini exercituum.
6 'Look, the days are about to come when everything in your palace, the things that your ancestors stored away until this present day, will be carried to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says Yahweh.
Ecce dies venient, et auferentur omnia, quae in domo tua sunt, et quae thesaurizaverunt patres tui usque ad diem hanc, in Babylonem: non relinquetur quidquam, dicit Dominus.
7 The sons born from you, whom you yourself have fathered—they will take them away, and they will become eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.'”
Et de filiis tuis, qui exibunt de te, quos genueris, tollent, et erunt eunuchi in palatio regis Babylonis.
8 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of Yahweh that you have spoken is good.” For he thought, “There will be peace and stability in my days.”
Et dixit Ezechias ad Isaiam: Bonum verbum Domini quod locutus est. Et dixit: Fiat tantum pax, et veritas in diebus meis.
