Jesajas 39

1 Tanī laikā Merodaks BalAdans, BalAdana dēls, Bābeles ķēniņš, sūtīja grāmatas un dāvanas pie Hizkijas, jo tas bija dzirdējis, ka viņš bija slims bijis un atkal palicis vesels.

Soon after that, Baladan’s son Merodach-Baladan, the King of Babylon, heard a report that Hezekiah had been very sick but that he had recovered. So he wrote some notes and gave them to some messengers to take to Hezekiah, along with a gift.

2 Un Hizkija priecājās par tiem un tiem rādīja savu mantas namu, to sudrabu un zeltu, tās dārgās zāles un to smalko eļļu un visu savu bruņu namu un visu, kas viņa mantās bija; nekas nebija visā viņa namā un visā viņa valstī, ko Hizkija tiem nebūtu rādījis.

[When the messengers arrived], Hezekiah welcomed them gladly. [Then] he showed them everything that was in his (treasure houses/places where very valuable things were kept)—the silver, the gold, the spices, and the nice-smelling [olive] oil. He also took them to see the place where they kept their soldiers’ weapons, and he showed them the other valuable things that were in the storehouses. Hezekiah showed them everything [LIT] that was in the palace or in other places [HYP].

3 Tad pravietis Jesaja nāca pie ķēniņa Hizkijas un uz to sacīja: Ko šie vīri sacījuši un no kurienes tie pie tevis nākuši? Un Hizkija sacīja: Tie no tālas zemes pie manis nākuši, no Bābeles.

Then I went to King Hezekiah and asked him, “Where did those men come from, and what did they want?” He replied, “They came from the far away land of Babylon.”

4 Un viņš sacīja: Ko tie laba redzējuši tavā namā? Un Hizkija sacīja: Tie visu redzējuši, kas manā namā, nekā nav no manām mantām, ko es tiem nebūtu rādījis.

I asked him, “What did they see in your palace?” Hezekiah replied, “They saw everything. I showed them absolutely everything that I own—all my valuable things.”

5 Tad Jesaja sacīja uz Hizkiju: Klausies Tā Kunga Cebaot vārdu.

Then I said to Hezekiah, “Listen to this message from the Commander of the armies of angels:

6 Redzi, dienas nāks, ka viss, kas ir tavā namā, un ko tavi tēvi līdz šai dienai sakrājuši, taps novests uz Bābeli, nekas netaps atlicināts, saka Tas Kungs.

'There will be a time when everything in your palace, all the valuable things that your ancestors stored there up until the present time, will be carried away to Babylon. Yahweh says that there will be nothing left.

7 Un no taviem dēliem, kas no tevis nāks, ko tu dzemdināsi, viņi ņems, ka tie būs par kambar junkuriem Bābeles ķēniņa pilī.

Furthermore, some of your sons will be forced to go to Babylon. They will be castrated in order that they can become servants in the palace of the king of Babylon.'”

8 Un Hizkija sacīja uz Jesaju: Tā Kunga vārds ir labs, ko tu runājis. Un viņš sacīja: Kad tik miers un drošība pastāv manā laikā.

Then Hezekiah replied to me, “That message from Yahweh that you have given to me is good.” He said that because he was thinking, “Even if that happens, there will be peace, and people in this country will be safe during the time that I am alive.”
