Isaías 39

1 En aquel tiempo Merodac-Baladán, hijo de Baladán, rey de Babilonia, al saber que Ezequías estuvo enfermo y fue restablecido, le envió cartas y un presente.

At that time Merodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah: for he had heard that he had been sick, and was recovered.

2 Ezequías se alegró con ellos. Les mostró la tesorería, la plata y el oro, las especias y los ungüentos aromáticos, toda su casa de armas y todo lo que se encontraba entre sus tesoros. No hubo algo en su palacio ni en sus dominios que Ezequías no les mostrara.

And Hezekiah was glad of them, and showed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah showed them not.

3 Entonces el profeta Isaías fue al rey Ezequías y le preguntó: ¿Qué dijeron aquellos hombres y de dónde vienen a visitarte? Ezequías respondió: De una tierra lejana vinieron a visitarme, de Babilonia.

Then came Isaiah the prophet to king Hezekiah, and said to him, What said these men? and from where came they to you? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country to me, even from Babylon.

4 Isaías le preguntó: ¿Qué vieron en tu palacio? Y Ezequías respondió: Vieron todo cuanto hay en mi palacio. Nada hay entre mis tesoros que no les mostré.

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

5 Entonces Isaías dijo a Ezequías: Escucha la Palabra de Yavé de las huestes:

Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD of hosts:

6 Mira, vienen días cuando todo lo que hay en tu palacio, cuanto tus antepasados atesoraron hasta hoy, será llevado a Babilonia. Nada quedará, dice Yavé.

Behold, the days come, that all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, says the LORD.

7 Tomarán de los hijos que descienden de ti, a quienes tú engendraste, para que sean oficiales en el palacio del rey de Babilonia.

And of your sons that shall issue from you, which you shall beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.

8 Entonces Ezequías dijo a Isaías: La Palabra de Yavé que hablaste es buena. Porque pensó: Habrá paz y seguridad en mis días.

Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which you have spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.
