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, Merodach-baladan son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah, —for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick, and had 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 Hezekiah, rejoiced over them, and showed them his house of precious things—the silver and the gold and the spices and the precious ointment and all his armoury—and all that was found among his treasures, —there was nothing, which Hezekiah, did not show them—in his house or in all his dominion.

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

Then came Isaiah the prophet, unto King Hezekiah, —and said unto him—What said these men? and whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, From a land far away, came they unto me, 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 he said, What have they seen in thy house? Then said Hezekiah, —All that is in my house, have they seen, there is nothing which I shewed them not among my treasures.

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

Then said Isaiah unto Hezekiah, —Hear thou the word of Yahweh 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

Lo! days are coming, when all that is in thy house, and that which thy fathers have treasured up until this day, shall be carried away unto Babylon, —nothing, shall be left, Saith Yahweh.

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

And of thy sons who shall issue from thee whom thou shalt beget, shall they take away, —and they shall become eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.

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 Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, Good is the word of Yahweh, which thou hast spoken. And he said, Surely, there shall be peace and stability in my days.
