< 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 had 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 shewed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not.
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 came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country unto 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 said he, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them.
5 Então disse Isaias a Ezequias: Ouve a palavra do Senhor dos Exercitos:
Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of YHWH 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 come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith YHWH.
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 that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they 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 said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of YHWH which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.
