Isaiæ 39

1 in tempore illo misit Marodach Baladan filius Baladan rex Babylonis libros et munera ad Ezechiam audierat enim quod aegrotasset et convaluisset

At that time Merodach Baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent a letter and a present to Hezekiah, for he had heard that he had been sick and was recovered.

2 laetatus est autem super eis Ezechias et ostendit eis cellam aromatum et argenti et auri et odoramentorum et unguenti optimi et omnes apothecas supellectilis suae et universa quae inventa sunt in thesauris eius non fuit verbum quod non ostenderet eis Ezechias in domo sua et in omni potestate sua

And Hezekiah was delighted with them, and showed the embassy his treasure-house, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil, and his whole armory, and all that was found in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, which Hezekiah did not show them.

3 introiit autem Isaias propheta ad regem Ezechiam et dixit ei quid dixerunt viri isti et unde venerunt ad te et dixit Ezechias de terra longinqua venerunt ad me de Babylone

Then came Isaiah the prophet to King Hezekiah, and said to him, What did these men say, and whence did they come to thee? And Hezekiah said, They came to me from a distant country, from Babylon.

4 et dixit quid viderunt in domo tua et dixit Ezechias omnia quae in domo mea sunt viderunt non fuit res quam non ostenderim eis in thesauris meis

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 in my treasures which I have not shown them.

5 et dixit Isaias ad Ezechiam audi verbum Domini exercituum

Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, hear the word of Jehovah of hosts,

6 ecce dies venient et auferentur omnia quae in domo tua sunt et quae thesaurizaverunt patres tui usque ad diem hanc in Babylonem non relinquetur quicquam dicit Dominus

Behold, the days shall come, when all that is in thy house, and that thy fathers have treasured up to this day, shall be carried away to Babylon. Nothing shall be left, saith Jehovah.

7 et de filiis tuis qui exibunt de te quos genueris tollent et erunt eunuchi in palatio regis Babylonis

And of thy sons, which shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away, and they shall he eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.

8 et dixit Ezechias ad Isaiam bonum verbum Domini quod locutus est et dixit fiat tantum pax et veritas in diebus meis

Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of Jehovah, which thou hast spoken. For, said he, there shall be peace and security in my days.
