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 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 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 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 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.

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 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 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 И рече ему Исаиа: послушай словесе Господа Саваофа:

And Isaiah said to Hezekiah, 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, 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 рече Господь, яко и от чад твоих, ихже родил еси, поймут и сотворят каженики в дому царя Вавилонска.

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

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.
