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 had recovered.

Ob tistem času je babilonski kralj Merodáh Baladán poslal Ezekíju pisma in darilo, kajti slišal je, da je bil bolan in je okreval.

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 armour, and all that was found in his treasuries: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah did not show them.

Ezekíja jih je bil vesel in jim razkazal hišo svojih dragocenih stvari: srebro, zlato, dišave, dragoceno mazilo in vso hišo svoje orožarne in vsega, kar se je našlo v njegovih zakladnicah. Ničesar ni bilo v njegovi hiši niti v vsem njegovem gospostvu, česar jim Ezekíja ni razkazal.

3 Then came Isaiah the prophet to king Hezekiah, and said to him, What said these men? and from where came they to thee? And Hezekiah said, They have come to me, from a far country, even from Babylon.

Potem je prerok Izaija prišel h kralju Ezekíju in mu rekel: »Kaj so rekli ti možje? In od kod so prišli k tebi?« Ezekíja je rekel: »K meni so prišli iz daljne dežele, celó iz Babilona.«

4 Then said he, What have they seen in thy 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.

Potem je rekel: »Kaj so videli v tvoji hiši?« Ezekíja je odgovoril: »Videli so vse, kar je v moji hiši. Ničesar ni med mojimi zakladi, česar jim ne bi pokazal.«

5 Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD of hosts:

Potem Izaija reče Ezekíju: »Poslušaj besedo Gospoda nad bojevniki:

6 Behold, the days come, that all that is in thy house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD.

›Glej, prihajajo dnevi, da bo vse, kar je v tvoji hiši in to, kar so tvoji očetje prihranili v shrambi do tega dne, odneseno v Babilon. Nič ne bo ostalo, ‹ govori Gospod.

7 And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.

›In izmed tvojih sinov, ki bodo izšli iz tebe, ki jih boš zaplodil, jih bodo odvedli proč in bodo evnuhi v palači babilonskega kralja.‹«

8 Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.

Potem je Ezekíja rekel Izaiju: »Dobra je Gospodova beseda, ki si jo povedal.« Poleg tega je rekel: »Kajti mir in resnica bosta v mojih dneh.«
