< Isaías 39 >

1 Naquele tempo, Merodaque-Baladã, filho de Baladã, rei da Babilônia, enviou [mensageiros com] cartas e um presente a Ezequias, porque tinha ouvido que ele havia ficado doente e já tinha se curado.
At that time Marodach Baladan, the son of Baladan, the king of Babylonia, sent letters and ambassadors and gifts to Ezekias: for he had heard that he had been sick [even] to death, and was recovered.
2 E Ezequias se alegrou com eles, e lhes mostrou a casa de teu tesouro, a prata, o ouro, as especiarias, os melhores óleos, e toda a sua casa de armas, e tudo quanto se achou em seus tesouros; coisa nenhuma houve, nem em sua casa, nem em todo o seu domínio, que Ezequias não lhes mostrasse.
And Ezekias was glad of their coming, and he showed them the house of [his] spices, and of silver, and gold, and myrrh, and incense, and ointment, and all the houses of his treasures, and all that he had in his stores: and there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, which Ezekias did not show.
3 Então o profeta Isaías veio ao rei Ezequias, e lhe disse: O que aqueles homens disseram? E de onde eles vieram a ti? E Ezequias disse: Eles vieram a mim de uma terra distante, da Babilônia.
And Esaias the prophet came to king Ezekias, and said to him, What say these men? and whence came they to you? and Ezekias said, They are come to me from a land afar off, from Babylon.
4 E ele lhe disse: O que viram em tua casa? E Ezequias disse: Eles viram tudo quanto há em minha casa; coisa nenhuma há em meus tesouros que eu não tenha lhes mostrado.
And Esaias said, What have they seen in your house? and Ezekias said, They have seen everything in my house; and there is nothing in my house which they have not seen: yes, also the [possessions] in my treasuries.
5 Então Isaías disse a Ezequias: Ouve a palavra do SENHOR dos exércitos:
And Esaias said to him, Hear the word of the Lord of hosts:
6 Eis que vem dias em que tudo quanto houver em tua casa, e que teus pais acumularam até o dia de hoje, será levado à Babilônia; nada restará, diz o SENHOR.
Behold, the days come, when they shall take all the [things that are] in your house, and all that your fathers have gathered until this day, shall go to Babylon; and they shall not leave anything at all: and God has said,
7 E [até] de teus filhos, que procederem de ti, e tu gerares, tomarão; e eles serão eunucos no palácio do rei da Babilônia.
that they shall take also of your children whom you shall beget; and they shall make them eunuchs in the house of the king of the Babylonians.
8 Então Ezequias disse a Isaías: Boa é a palavra do SENHOR que falaste. Disse também: Pois haverá paz e segurança em meus dias.
And Ezekias said to Esaias, Good is the word of the Lord, which he has spoken: let there, I pray, be peace and righteousness in my days.
