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 the same time Merodach-baladan, son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah, because he had heard that Hezekiah was sick and had 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.

Hezekiah happily welcomed the visitors and showed them what he had in his treasury—all the silver, the gold, the spices, and the expensive oils. He also showed them his whole armory and all that he had in his storehouses. In fact there wasn't anything in his palace or in the whole of his kingdom that Hezekiah didn't 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 the prophet Isaiah went to King Hezekiah and asked him, “Where did those men come from, and what did they tell you?” “They came to see me from a long way away, from Babylon,” Hezekiah replied.

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.

“What did they see in your palace?” Isaiah asked. “They saw everything in my palace,” replied Hezekiah. “There wasn't anything in all my storehouses I didn't show them.”

5 Então disse Isaias a Ezequias: Ouve a palavra do Senhor dos Exercitos:

Isaiah told Hezekiah, “Listen to what the Lord says:

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.

You can be certain that the time is coming when everything in your palace, and everything that your forefathers have saved up until now, will be taken away to Babylon. There will be nothing left, says the Lord.

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.

Some of your sons, your own offspring, will be taken to serve as 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.

Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The message from the Lord that you have told me is fine.” For he said to himself, “There'll definitely be peace and safety in my lifetime.”
