Isaiah 39

1 At that time Merodach-baladan son of Baladan king of Babylon sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah, for he had heard about Hezekiah’s illness and recovery.

1 那时，巴拉但的儿子巴比伦王米罗达·巴拉但听说希西迦患病及痊愈的事，便派人送来书信和礼物。

2 And Hezekiah welcomed the envoys gladly and showed them what was in his treasure house—the silver, the gold, the spices, and the precious oil, as well as his entire armory—all that was found in his storehouses. There was nothing in his palace or in all his dominion that Hezekiah did not show them.

2 希西迦欣然接见使者，让他们观看国库里的金银、香料、珍贵膏油、所有兵器和一切宝物。希西迦把宫中及国内的一切悉数给他们看。

3 Then the prophet Isaiah went to King Hezekiah and asked, “Where did those men come from, and what did they say to you?” “They came to me from a distant land,” Hezekiah replied, “from Babylon.”

3 以赛亚先知来见希西迦王，问他：“这些人说了些什么？他们从哪里来？” 希西迦答道：“他们来自遥远的巴比伦。”

4 “What have they seen in your palace?” Isaiah asked. “They have seen everything in my palace,” answered Hezekiah. “There is nothing among my treasures that I did not show them.”

4 以赛亚问：“他们在你宫里看到了什么？” 希西迦答道：“他们看到了我宫中的一切。我把国库里的一切悉数给他们看了。”

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

5 以赛亚对希西迦说：“你要听万军之耶和华的话，

6 The time will surely come when everything in your palace and all that your fathers have stored up until this day will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says the LORD.

6 ‘看啊，时候快到了，你宫中的一切和你祖先积攒到现在的一切必被掳到巴比伦，一件不留。这是耶和华说的。

7 And some of your descendants, your own flesh and blood, will be taken away to be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”

7 你自己亲生的子孙中必有人被掳去，在巴比伦王的宫中做太监。’”

8 But Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of the LORD that you have spoken is good.” For he thought, “At least there will be peace and security in my lifetime.”

8 希西迦对以赛亚说：“耶和华借你说的话很好。”因为他想：“我有生之年将平安稳妥。”
