< Isaiah 39 >

1 At that time Merodach-baladan, 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.
فِي أَثْنَاءِ هَذِهِ الْفَتْرَةِ، بَعَثَ مَرُودَخُ بَلادَانَ بْنُ بَلادَانَ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ رَسَائِلَ وَهَدَايَا إِلَى حَزَقِيَّا بَعْدَ أَنْ سَمِعَ بِمَرَضِهِ وَشِفَائِهِ مِنْهُ،١
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 armor, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah did not show them.
فَرَحَّبَ بِهِمْ حَزَقِيَّا تَرْحِيباً حَارّاً، وَأَطْلَعَهُمْ عَلَى مَا فِي خَزَائِنِهِ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ وَأَطْيَابٍ وَعُطُورٍ، وَعَلَى مَخَازِنِ أَسْلِحَتِهِ. لَمْ يَبْقَ شَيْءٌ فِي قَصْرِهِ وَفِي حَوْزَتِهِ لَمْ يُرِهِمْ إِيَّاهُ.٢
3 Then came Isaiah the prophet to king Hezekiah, and said to him, What said these men? and from whence came they to thee? and Hezekiah said, They have come to me from a far country, [even] from Babylon.
فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ إِشَعْيَاءُ إِلَى الْمَلِكِ حَزَقِيَّا وَسَأَلَهُ: «مَاذَا قَالَ هَؤُلاءِ الْقَوْمُ، وَمِنْ أَيْنَ قَدِمُوا إِلَيْكَ؟» فَأَجَابَهُ: «قَدْ أَقْبَلُوا إِلَيَّ مِنْ بَلَدٍ بَعِيدٍ، مِنْ بَابِلَ». فَعَادَ يَسْأَلُهُ: «مَاذَا شَاهَدُوا فِي قَصْرِكَ؟»٣
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.
فَأَجَابَ حَزَقِيَّا: «شَاهَدُوا كُلَّ مَا فِي قَصْرِي. لَمْ يَبْقَ شَيْءٌ فِي مَخَازِنِي لَمْ أُطْلِعْهُمْ عَلَيْهِ».٤
5 Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD of hosts:
عِنْدَئِذٍ قَالَ إِشَعْيَاءُ لِحَزَقِيَّا: «اسْمَعْ قَوْلَ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ:٥
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.
هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي يُنْقَلُ فِيهَا إِلَى بَابِلَ كُلُّ مَا فِي قَصْرِكَ مِمَّا ادَّخَرَهُ أَسْلافُكَ وَلا يَبْقَى مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ.٦
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.
وَيُسْبَى بَعْضُ أَبْنَائِكَ الْخَارِجِينَ مِنْ صُلْبِكَ لِيَكُونُوا خِصْيَاناً فِي قَصْرِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ».٧
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.
فَقَالَ حَزَقِيَّا لإِشَعْيَاءَ: «صَالِحٌ هُوَ قَوْلُ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي أَعْلَنْتَهُ». ثُمَّ حَدَّثَ نَفْسَهُ: «لِيَكُنْ فَقَطْ سَلامٌ وَأَمْنٌ فِي عَهْدِي».٨
