Isaija 39

1 U to vrijeme Merodah Valadan, sin Valadanov, car Vavilonski, posla knjigu s darom Jezekiji; jer bješe èuo da je bio bolestan i ozdravio.

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

2 I Jezekija se obradova tome, i pokaza im sve riznice svoje, srebro i zlato i mirise, i najbolje ulje, i kuæu gdje mu bješe oružje, i što se god nalažaše u riznicama njegovijem, ne osta ništa da im ne pokaza Jezekija u kuæi svojoj i u svemu gospodstvu svom.

And Hezekiah was glad of them, and showed them his treasure-house, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil, and all the house of his armour, 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 Tada doðe prorok Isaija k caru Jezekiji i reèe mu: šta su govorili ti ljudi i odakle su došli k tebi? A Jezekija reèe: iz daljne zemlje došli su k meni, iz Vavilona.

Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him: 'What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee?' And Hezekiah said: 'They are come from a far country unto me, even from Babylon.'

4 A on reèe: šta su vidjeli u tvom dvoru? A Jezekija reèe: vidjeli su sve što ima u mom dvoru; nije ostalo ništa u riznicama mojim da im nijesam pokazao.

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 shown them.'

5 Tada reèe Isaija Jezekiji: èuj rijeè Gospoda nad vojskama.

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

6 Evo doæi æe vrijeme kad æe se odnijeti u Vavilon sve što ima u kuæi tvojoj, i što su sabirali oci tvoji do danas, neæe ostati ništa, veli Gospod.

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 I sinove tvoje, koji æe izaæi od tebe, koje æeš roditi, uzeæe da budu dvorani u dvoru cara Vavilonskoga.

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

8 A Jezekija reèe Isaiji: dobra je rijeè Gospodnja koju si rekao. Još reèe: je li? za moga vijeka biæe mir i vjera?

Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah: 'Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken.' He said moreover: 'If but there shall be peace and truth in my days.'
