Izaija 39

1 Ob tistem času je babilonski kralj Merodáh Baladán poslal Ezekíju pisma in darilo, kajti slišal je, da je bil bolan in je okreval.

At that time Merodach-Baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent a letter and a present to Hezekiah; for he had heard that he had been sick and had recovered.

2 Ezekíja jih je bil vesel in jim razkazal hišo svojih dragocenih stvari: srebro, zlato, dišave, dragoceno mazilo in vso hišo svoje orožarne in vsega, kar se je našlo v njegovih zakladnicah. Ničesar ni bilo v njegovi hiši niti v vsem njegovem gospostvu, česar jim Ezekíja ni razkazal.

And Hezekiah was glad of them, and shewed them the house of his precious things, the silver and the gold, and the spices and the fine oil, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found amongst his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah did not shew them.

3 Potem je prerok Izaija prišel h kralju Ezekíju in mu rekel: »Kaj so rekli ti možje? In od kod so prišli k tebi?« Ezekíja je rekel: »K meni so prišli iz daljne dežele, celó iz Babilona.«

Then came the prophet Isaiah to king Hezekiah, and said to him, What said these men? and from whence came they to thee? And Hezekiah said, They came from a far country to me, from Babylon.

4 Potem je rekel: »Kaj so videli v tvoji hiši?« Ezekíja je odgovoril: »Videli so vse, kar je v moji hiši. Ničesar ni med mojimi zakladi, česar jim ne bi pokazal.«

And he said, What have they seen in thy house? And Hezekiah said, All that is in my house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewn them.

5 Potem Izaija reče Ezekíju: »Poslušaj besedo Gospoda nad bojevniki:

And Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Hear the word of Jehovah of hosts:

6 ›Glej, prihajajo dnevi, da bo vse, kar je v tvoji hiši in to, kar so tvoji očetje prihranili v shrambi do tega dne, odneseno v Babilon. Nič ne bo ostalo, ‹ govori Gospod.

Behold, days come when all that is in thy house, and that which thy fathers have laid up until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith Jehovah.

7 ›In izmed tvojih sinov, ki bodo izšli iz tebe, ki jih boš zaplodil, jih bodo odvedli proč in bodo evnuhi v palači babilonskega kralja.‹«

And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, whom thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.

8 Potem je Ezekíja rekel Izaiju: »Dobra je Gospodova beseda, ki si jo povedal.« Poleg tega je rekel: »Kajti mir in resnica bosta v mojih dneh.«

And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, Good is the word of Jehovah which thou hast spoken. And he said, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.
