< 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD of hosts:
以賽亞對希西家說:「你要聽萬軍之耶和華的話:
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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。」
