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 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 had 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 ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasuries: 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 came Isaiah the prophet to king Hezekiah, and said to him, What said these men? and from where came they to thee? And Hezekiah said, They have come to me, from a far country, 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 said he, What have they seen in thy 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 Och Esaia sade till Hiskia: Hör Herrans Zebaoths ord:

Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD 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 come, that 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 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 that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they 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 said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.
