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 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 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 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 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.

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 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.

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 Och Esaia sade till Hiskia: Hör Herrans Zebaoths ord:

And Esaias said to him, 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, 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 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.

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

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.
