Isaiah 39

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

Ob tistem času je babilonski kralj Merodáh Baladán poslal Ezekíju pisma in darilo, kajti slišal je, da je bil bolan in je okreval.

2 Hezekiah was pleased with them, and showed them the house of his precious things, the silver, the gold, the spices, and the precious oil, and all the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah didn’t show them.

Ezekíja jih je bil vesel in jim razkazal hišo svojih dragocenih stvari: srebro, zlato, dišave, dragoceno mazilo in vso hišo svoje orožarne in vsega, kar se je našlo v njegovih zakladnicah. Ničesar ni bilo v njegovi hiši niti v vsem njegovem gospostvu, česar jim Ezekíja ni razkazal.

3 Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah, and asked him, “What did these men say? From where did they come to you?” Hezekiah said, “They have come from a country far from me, even from Babylon.”

Potem je prerok Izaija prišel h kralju Ezekíju in mu rekel: »Kaj so rekli ti možje? In od kod so prišli k tebi?« Ezekíja je rekel: »K meni so prišli iz daljne dežele, celó iz Babilona.«

4 Then he asked, “What have they seen in your house?” Hezekiah answered, “They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.”

Potem je rekel: »Kaj so videli v tvoji hiši?« Ezekíja je odgovoril: »Videli so vse, kar je v moji hiši. Ničesar ni med mojimi zakladi, česar jim ne bi pokazal.«

5 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the LORD of Hosts:

Potem Izaija reče Ezekíju: »Poslušaj besedo Gospoda nad bojevniki:

6 ‘Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have stored up until today, will be carried to Babylon. Nothing will be left,’ says the LORD.

›Glej, prihajajo dnevi, da bo vse, kar je v tvoji hiši in to, kar so tvoji očetje prihranili v shrambi do tega dne, odneseno v Babilon. Nič ne bo ostalo, ‹ govori Gospod.

7 ‘They will take away your sons who will issue from you, whom you shall father, and they will be eunuchs in the king of Babylon’s palace.’”

›In izmed tvojih sinov, ki bodo izšli iz tebe, ki jih boš zaplodil, jih bodo odvedli proč in bodo evnuhi v palači babilonskega kralja.‹«

8 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The LORD’s word which you have spoken is good.” He said moreover, “For there will be peace and truth in my days.”

Potem je Ezekíja rekel Izaiju: »Dobra je Gospodova beseda, ki si jo povedal.« Poleg tega je rekel: »Kajti mir in resnica bosta v mojih dneh.«
