< Isaías 39 >
1 N'aquelle tempo enviou Merodach-baladan, filho de Baladan, rei de Babylonia, cartas e um presente a Ezequias, porque tinha ouvido dizer que havia estado doente e que já tinha convalescido.
At that time Merodach-baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he heard that he had been sick, and was recovered.
2 E Ezequias se alegrou d'elles, e lhes mostrou a casa do seu thesouro, a prata, e o oiro, e as especiarias, e os melhores unguentos, e toda a sua casa d'armas, e tudo quanto se achou nos seus thesouros: coisa nenhuma houve, nem em sua casa, nem em todo o seu dominio, que Ezequias lhes não mostrasse.
And Hezekiah was glad of them, and showed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil, and all the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah did not show them.
3 Então o propheta Isaias veiu ao rei Ezequias, e lhe disse: Que é o que aquelles homens disseram, e d'onde vieram a ti? E disse Ezequias: D'uma terra remota vieram a mim, de Babylonia.
Then Isaiah the prophet came to king Hezekiah, and said to him, What did these men say? And from where did they come to thee? And Hezekiah said, They have come from a far country to me, even from Babylon.
4 E disse elle: Que é o que viram em tua casa? E disse Ezequias: Viram tudo quanto ha em minha casa; coisa nenhuma ha nos meus thesouros que eu deixasse de lhes mostrar.
Then he said, What have they seen in thy house? And Hezekiah answered, They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.
5 Então disse Isaias a Ezequias: Ouve a palavra do Senhor dos Exercitos:
Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Hear the word of Jehovah of hosts:
6 Eis que veem dias em que tudo quanto houver em tua casa, e o que enthesouraram teus paes até ao dia d'hoje será levado para Babylonia: não ficará coisa alguma, disse o Senhor.
Behold, the days are coming, when all that is in thy house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon. Nothing shall be left, says Jehovah.
7 E ainda até de teus filhos, que procederem de ti, e tu gerares, tomarão, para que sejam eunuchos no palacio do rei de Babylonia.
And of thy sons who shall issue from thee, whom thou shall beget, they shall take away, and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
8 Então disse Ezequias a Isaias: Boa é a palavra do Senhor que disseste. Disse mais: Pois haja paz e verdade em meus dias.
Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, The word of Jehovah which thou have spoken is good. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.
