Isaías 39
1 Naquele tempo enviou Merodach-baladan, filho de Baladan, rei de Babilônia, 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, the king of Babylon, sent letters and gifts to Hezekiah. For he had heard that he had fallen ill and had recovered.
2 E Ezequias se alegrou deles, e lhes mostrou a casa do seu tesouro, a prata, e o ouro, e as especiarias, e os melhores unguentos, e toda a sua casa de armas, e tudo quanto se achou nos seus tesouros: coisa nenhuma houve, nem em sua casa, nem em todo o seu domínio, que Ezequias lhes não mostrasse.
And Hezekiah rejoiced over them, and he showed them the storehouses of his aromatic spices, and of the silver and gold, and of the perfumes and precious ointments, and all the repositories for his belongings, and all the things that were found in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah did not show them.
3 Então o profeta Isaias veio ao rei Ezequias, e lhe disse: Que é o que aqueles homens disseram, e de onde vieram a ti? E disse Ezequias: de uma terra remota vieram a mim, de Babilônia.
Then Isaiah the prophet entered before king Hezekiah, and he said to him, “What did these men say, and from where did they come to you?” And Hezekiah said, “They came to me from a far away land, from Babylon.”
4 E disse ele: Que é o que viram em tua casa? E disse Ezequias: Viram tudo quanto há em minha casa; coisa nenhuma há nos meus tesouros que eu deixasse de lhes mostrar.
And he said, “What did they see in your house?” And Hezekiah said: “They have seen all the things that are in my house. There was nothing that I did not show them among my treasures.”
5 Então disse Isaias a Ezequias: Ouve a palavra do Senhor dos exércitos:
And Isaiah said to Hezekiah: “Hear the word of the Lord of hosts:
6 Eis que veem dias em que tudo quanto houver em tua casa, e o que enthesouraram teus pais até ao dia de hoje será levado para Babilônia: não ficará coisa alguma, disse o Senhor.
Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and all that your fathers have stored up, even to this day, will be taken away to Babylon. There will be nothing left behind, says the Lord.
7 E ainda até de teus filhos, que procederem de ti, e tu gerares, tomarão, para que sejam eunucos no palácio do rei de Babilônia.
And your children, who will issue from you, whom you will produce, they will be taken 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.
And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of the Lord which he has spoken is good.” And he said, “But let there be peace and truth in my days.”
