Isaiah 39
1 Soon after that, Baladan’s son Merodach-Baladan, the King of Babylon, heard a report that Hezekiah had been very sick but that he had recovered. So he wrote some notes and gave them to some messengers to take to Hezekiah, along with a gift.
そのころバラダンの子バビロン王メロダクバラダン、ヒゼキヤが病をうれへて愈しことをききければ書と禮物とをおくれり
2 [When the messengers arrived], Hezekiah welcomed them gladly. [Then] he showed them everything that was in his (treasure houses/places where very valuable things were kept)—the silver, the gold, the spices, and the nice-smelling [olive] oil. He also took them to see the place where they kept their soldiers’ weapons, and he showed them the other valuable things that were in the storehouses. Hezekiah showed them everything [LIT] that was in the palace or in other places [HYP].
ヒゼキヤその使者のきたるによりて喜びこれに財物 金銀 香料 たふとき油ををさめたる家およびすべての軍器ををさめたる家また庫のなかなる物をことごとく見す おほよそヒゼキヤのいへの裏にあるものと全國のうちにあるものと 見せざるものは一もあらざりき
3 Then I went to King Hezekiah and asked him, “Where did those men come from, and what did they want?” He replied, “They came from the far away land of Babylon.”
ここに預言者イザヤ、ヒゼキヤ王のもとに來りていひけるは この人々はなにをいひしや何處よりなんぢのもとに來りしや ヒゼキヤ曰けるは かれらはとほき國よりバビロンより我にきたれり
4 I asked him, “What did they see in your palace?” Hezekiah replied, “They saw everything. I showed them absolutely everything that I own—all my valuable things.”
イザヤいふ 彼等はなんぢの家にてなにを見たりしや ヒゼキヤ答ふ かれらはわが家にあるものを皆みたり又わが庫のなかにあるものは一つをもかれらに見せざるものなかりき
5 Then I said to Hezekiah, “Listen to this message from the Commander of the armies of angels:
イザヤ、ヒゼキヤにいふ なんぢ萬軍のヱホバの言をきけ
6 'There will be a time when everything in your palace, all the valuable things that your ancestors stored there up until the present time, will be carried away to Babylon. Yahweh says that there will be nothing left.
みよ日きたらん なんぢの家のものなんぢの列祖がけふまで蓄へたるものは皆バビロンにたづさへゆかれて遺るもの一もなかるべし 是はヱホバのみことばなり
7 Furthermore, some of your sons will be forced to go to Babylon. They will be castrated in order that they can become servants in the palace of the king of Babylon.'”
なんぢの身より生れいでん者もとらはれ寺人とせられてバビロン王の宮のうちにあらん
8 Then Hezekiah replied to me, “That message from Yahweh that you have given to me is good.” He said that because he was thinking, “Even if that happens, there will be peace, and people in this country will be safe during the time that I am alive.”
ヒゼキヤ、イザヤにいひけるは 汝がかたるヱホバのみことばは善し また云 わが世にあるほどは太平と眞理とあるべしと
