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 Marduk-Baladan son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah; for he had heard that Hezekiah had been 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 was pleased by these things; he showed the messengers his storehouse of valuable things—the silver, the gold, the spices and precious oil, the storehouse of his weapons, and all that was found in his storehouses. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his kingdom, 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 asked him, “What did these men say to you? Where did they come from?” Hezekiah said, “They came to me from the distant country of 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.

Isaiah asked, “What have they seen in your house?” Hezekiah answered, “They have seen everything in my house. There is nothing among my valuable things that I have not shown them.”

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

Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Listen to the word of Yahweh 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.

'Look, the days are about to come when everything in your palace, the things that your ancestors stored away until this present day, will be carried to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says Yahweh.

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.

The sons born from you, whom you yourself have fathered—they will take them away, and they will become 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 Yahweh that you have spoken is good.” For he thought, “There will be peace and stability in my days.”
