Jesaja 39

1 På den tiden sände MerodachBaladan, Baladans son, Konungen i Babel, bref och skänker till Hiskia; ty han hade hört, att han hade varit sjuk, och var helbregda vorden igen.

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

2 Då fröjdade sig Hiskia, och viste dem fataburen, silfver och guld, speceri, kostelig salvo, och all sin tyghus, och all den skatt, som han hade. Ingen ting var, som Hiskia dem icke viste, i sino huse och i sitt våld.

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 oil, 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 did not show them.

3 Då kom Propheten Esaia till Konungen Hiskia, och sade till honom: Hvad säga dessa männerna, och hvadan komma de till dig? Hiskia sade: De komma fjerranefter till mig, nämliga ifrå Babel.

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

4 Men han sade: Hvad hafva de sett uti dino huse? Hiskia sade: Allt det i mino huse är, hafva de sett, och intet är i mina håfvor, det jag dem icke vist hafver.

Then he said, What have they seen in thy house? And Hezekiah answered, They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.

5 Och Esaia sade till Hiskia: Hör Herrans Zebaoths ord:

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

6 Si, den tid kommer, att allt det uti dino huse är, och hvad dine fäder församlat hafva, intill denna dag, skall till Babel bortfördt varda, så att intet skall qvart blifva, säger Herren.

Behold, the 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, says Jehovah.

7 Dertill skola de taga din barn, som af dig komma skola, och du födandes varder, och de måste vara kamererare i Konungens gård i Babel.

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

8 Och Hiskia sade till Esaia: Herrans ord är godt, det du talar; och sade: Vare dock frid och trohet i mina dagar.

Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, The word of Jehovah which thou have spoken is good. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.
