Книга пророка Исаии 39

1 В то время посла Меродах Валадан сын Валаданов, царь Вавилонский, писания и послы и дары Езекии: слыша бо, яко болел есть до смерти и воста.

At that time Marodach Baladan, the son of Baladan, the king of Babylonia, sent letters and ambassadors and gifts to Ezekias: for he had heard that he had been sick [even] to death, and was recovered.

2 И обрадовася о них Езекиа радостию великою, и показа им дом ароматов и мира, и стакти и фимиама, и сребра и злата, и вся домы сосудов сокровищных, и вся елика бяху во сокровищих его: и не оста ничтоже, егоже не показа им Езекиа в дому своем и во всей области своей.

And Ezekias was glad of their coming, and he showed them the house of [his] spices, and of silver, and gold, and myrrh, and incense, and ointment, and all the houses of his treasures, and all that he had in his stores: and there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, which Ezekias did not show.

3 И прииде Исаиа пророк ко Езекии царю и рече к нему: что глаголют сии мужие, и откуду приидоша к тебе? И рече Езекиа: от земли далекия приидоша ко мне, от Вавилона.

And Esaias the prophet came to king Ezekias, and said to him, What say these men? and whence came they to you? and Ezekias said, They are come to me from a land afar off, from Babylon.

4 И рече Исаиа: что видеша в дому твоем? И рече Езекиа: вся, елика в дому моем, видеша, и несть в дому моем, егоже бы не видели, но и яже в сокровищих моих.

And Esaias said, What have they seen in your house? and Ezekias said, They have seen everything in my house; and there is nothing in my house which they have not seen: yes, also the [possessions] in my treasuries.

5 И рече ему Исаиа: послушай словесе Господа Саваофа:

And Esaias said to him, Hear the word of the Lord of hosts:

6 се, дние грядут, глаголет Господь, и возмут вся, яже в дому твоем, и елика собраша отцы твои даже до дне сего, в Вавилон прейдут, и ничесоже оставят:

Behold, the days come, when they shall take all the [things that are] in your house, and all that your fathers have gathered until this day, shall go to Babylon; and they shall not leave anything at all: and God has said,

7 рече Господь, яко и от чад твоих, ихже родил еси, поймут и сотворят каженики в дому царя Вавилонска.

that they shall take also of your children whom you shall beget; and they shall make them eunuchs in the house of the king of the Babylonians.

8 И рече Езекиа ко Исаии: благо слово Господне, еже глагола: да будет ныне мир и правда бо дни моя.

And Ezekias said to Esaias, Good is the word of the Lord, which he has spoken: let there, I pray, be peace and righteousness in my days.
