Esias 39

1 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.

En aquel tiempo envió Merodac Baladán, hijo de Baladán, rey de Babilonia, cartas y presentes a Ezequías; porque supo que Ezequías había estado enfermo y se había curado.

2 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.

Alegrose de esto Ezequías y mostró a los (mensajeros) la casa de su tesoro, la plata, el oro, los perfumes, los ungüentos olorosos, toda su armería y cuanto tenía en su tesorería. No hubo nada en la casa de Ezequías, ni en su poder, que no les mostrase.

3 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.

Entonces se presentó el profeta Isaías ante el rey Ezequías y le preguntó: “¿Qué han dicho esos hombres, y de dónde han llegado a ti?” Respondió Ezequías: “De un país lejano han venido a verme: de Babilonia.”

4 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.

Y le preguntó: “¿Qué han visto en tu casa?” Repuso Ezequías: “Han visto todo cuanto hay en mi casa; no hay cosa entre mis tesoros que no les haya mostrado.”

5 And Esaias said to him, Hear the word of the Lord of hosts:

Mas Isaías dijo a Ezequías: “Oye la palabra de Yahvé de los ejércitos:

6 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,

He aquí que días vendrán en que será llevado a Babilonia todo cuanto hay en tu casa, y cuanto han atesorado tus padres hasta este día; no quedará nada, dice Yahvé.

7 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.

Y de los hijos que nacieren de ti y que tú engendrares serán llevados algunos para ser eunucos en el palacio del rey de Babilonia.”

8 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.

Respondió Ezequías a Isaías: “Buena es la palabra de Yahvé que tú acabas de anunciarme.” Y agregó: “Habrá, pues, paz y seguridad en mis días.”
