Isaiah 39

1 At that time hath Merodach-Baladan, son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah, when he heareth that he hath been sick, and is become strong.

那時，巴比倫王巴拉丹的兒子默洛達客巴拉丹給希則克雅呈上書信和禮物，因為他聽說希則克雅患病好了。

2 And Hezekiah rejoiceth over them, and sheweth them the house of his spices, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the good ointment, and all the house of his vessels, and all that hath been found in his treasures; there hath not been a thing in his house, and in all his dominion, that Hezekiah hath not shewed them.

希則克雅對他們非常 高興，就叫使者參觀自己的寶庫、金銀、香料、珍膏和武器，以及他府庫內所有的財寶：凡他宮中和全國內所有的，希則克雅沒有不叫他們參觀的。

3 And Isaiah the prophet cometh in unto king Hezekiah, and saith unto him, 'What said these men? and whence come they unto thee?' And Hezekiah saith, 'From a land afar off they have come unto me — from Babylon.'

依撒意亞先知來到希則克雅王前對他說：「這些人說了什麼﹖他們是從什麼地方到你這裏來的﹖」希則克雅回答說：「他們是從遠方，從巴比倫到我這裏來的。」

4 And he saith, 'What saw they in thy house?' and Hezekiah saith, 'All that [is] in my house they saw; there hath not been a thing that I have not shewed them among my treasures.'

先知又問說：「他們在你宮裏看見了什麼﹖」希則克雅回答說：「凡我宮裏所有的，他們都看了；凡我府庫內所有的，沒有一樣我不叫他們不看的。」

5 And Isaiah saith unto Hezekiah, 'Hear a word of Jehovah of Hosts:

依撒意亞遂對希則克雅說：「你聽萬軍上主的話罷！

6 Lo, days are coming, and borne hath been all that [is] in thy house, and that thy fathers have treasured up till this day, to Babylon; there is not left a thing, said Jehovah;

看，日子要到，凡你宮中所有的，及你祖先直到今日所積蓄的，都要被帶到巴比倫去，什麼都不會留下：上主說。

7 and of thy sons who come forth from thee, whom thou begettest, they take, and they have been eunuchs in a palace of the king of Babylon.'

此外，由你所出，即你所生的子孫中，也有一些要被擄去，在巴比倫王的宮殿裏充當太監。」

8 And Hezekiah saith unto Isaiah, 'Good [is] the word of Jehovah that thou hast spoken;' and he saith, 'Because there is peace and truth in my days.'

希則克雅便對依撒意亞說：「你所說的上主的話很好。」他想：「只願在我有生之日有平安，有安全！」
