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 sent Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, the king of Babylon, letters and a present to Hezekiah; for he had heard that he had been sick, and was become strong again.

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 was rejoiced on their account, and showed them his treasure-house, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil, and the whole of his armor-house, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing that Hezekiah showed them not, in his house, and in all his dominion.

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 came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What did these men say? and whence did they come unto thee? And Hezekiah said, From a far-off country are they come unto me, 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 thy house? And Hezekiah said, all that is in my house have they seen; there is nothing that I did not show them in 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, 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, saith 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 of thy sons that will issue from thee, whom thou wilt beget, shall they take; and they shall be court-servants 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 the Lord which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and stability in my days.
