< イザヤ書 39 >
1 そのころバラダンの子バビロン王メロダクバラダン、ヒゼキヤが病をうれへて愈しことをききければ書と禮物とをおくれり
At that time Marodach Baladan, the son of Baladan, the king of Babylonia, sent letters and ambassadors and gifts to Ezekias: for he had heard that he had been sick [even] to death, and was recovered.
2 ヒゼキヤその使者のきたるによりて喜びこれに財物 金銀 香料 たふとき油ををさめたる家およびすべての軍器ををさめたる家また庫のなかなる物をことごとく見す おほよそヒゼキヤのいへの裏にあるものと全國のうちにあるものと 見せざるものは一もあらざりき
And Ezekias was glad of their coming, and he showed them the house of [his] spices, and of silver, and gold, and myrrh, and incense, and ointment, and all the houses of his treasures, and all that he had in his stores: and there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, which Ezekias did not show.
3 ここに預言者イザヤ、ヒゼキヤ王のもとに來りていひけるは この人々はなにをいひしや何處よりなんぢのもとに來りしや ヒゼキヤ曰けるは かれらはとほき國よりバビロンより我にきたれり
And Esaias the prophet came to king Ezekias, and said to him, What say these men? and whence came they to you? and Ezekias said, They are come to me from a land afar off, from Babylon.
4 イザヤいふ 彼等はなんぢの家にてなにを見たりしや ヒゼキヤ答ふ かれらはわが家にあるものを皆みたり又わが庫のなかにあるものは一つをもかれらに見せざるものなかりき
And Esaias said, What have they seen in your house? and Ezekias said, They have seen everything in my house; and there is nothing in my house which they have not seen: yes, also the [possessions] in my treasuries.
5 イザヤ、ヒゼキヤにいふ なんぢ萬軍のヱホバの言をきけ
And Esaias said to him, Hear the word of the Lord of hosts:
6 みよ日きたらん なんぢの家のものなんぢの列祖がけふまで蓄へたるものは皆バビロンにたづさへゆかれて遺るもの一もなかるべし 是はヱホバのみことばなり
Behold, the days come, when they shall take all the [things that are] in your house, and all that your fathers have gathered until this day, shall go to Babylon; and they shall not leave anything at all: and God has said,
7 なんぢの身より生れいでん者もとらはれ寺人とせられてバビロン王の宮のうちにあらん
that they shall take also of your children whom you shall beget; and they shall make them eunuchs in the house of the king of the Babylonians.
8 ヒゼキヤ、イザヤにいひけるは 汝がかたるヱホバのみことばは善し また云 わが世にあるほどは太平と眞理とあるべしと
And Ezekias said to Esaias, Good is the word of the Lord, which he has spoken: let there, I pray, be peace and righteousness in my days.
