Книга пророка Исаии 39

1 В то время посла Меродах Валадан сын Валаданов, царь Вавилонский, писания и послы и дары Езекии: слыша бо, яко болел есть до смерти и воста.

At that time Marduk-Baladan son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah; for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick and had recovered.

2 И обрадовася о них Езекиа радостию великою, и показа им дом ароматов и мира, и стакти и фимиама, и сребра и злата, и вся домы сосудов сокровищных, и вся елика бяху во сокровищих его: и не оста ничтоже, егоже не показа им Езекиа в дому своем и во всей области своей.

Hezekiah was pleased by these things; he showed the messengers his storehouse of valuable things—the silver, the gold, the spices and precious oil, the storehouse of his weapons, and all that was found in his storehouses. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his kingdom, that Hezekiah did not show them.

3 И прииде Исаиа пророк ко Езекии царю и рече к нему: что глаголют сии мужие, и откуду приидоша к тебе? И рече Езекиа: от земли далекия приидоша ко мне, от Вавилона.

Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and asked him, “What did these men say to you? Where did they come from?” Hezekiah said, “They came to me from the distant country of Babylon.”

4 И рече Исаиа: что видеша в дому твоем? И рече Езекиа: вся, елика в дому моем, видеша, и несть в дому моем, егоже бы не видели, но и яже в сокровищих моих.

Isaiah asked, “What have they seen in your house?” Hezekiah answered, “They have seen everything in my house. There is nothing among my valuable things that I have not shown them.”

5 И рече ему Исаиа: послушай словесе Господа Саваофа:

Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Listen to the word of Yahweh of hosts:

6 се, дние грядут, глаголет Господь, и возмут вся, яже в дому твоем, и елика собраша отцы твои даже до дне сего, в Вавилон прейдут, и ничесоже оставят:

'Look, the days are about to come when everything in your palace, the things that your ancestors stored away until this present day, will be carried to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says Yahweh.

7 рече Господь, яко и от чад твоих, ихже родил еси, поймут и сотворят каженики в дому царя Вавилонска.

The sons born from you, whom you yourself have fathered—they will take them away, and they will become eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.'”

8 И рече Езекиа ко Исаии: благо слово Господне, еже глагола: да будет ныне мир и правда бо дни моя.

Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of Yahweh that you have spoken is good.” For he thought, “There will be peace and stability in my days.”
