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，巴比伦王巴拉但的儿子米罗达·巴拉但听见希西家病而痊愈，就送书信和礼物给他。

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 希西家喜欢见使者，就把自己宝库的金子、银子、香料、贵重的膏油，和他武库的一切军器，并所有的财宝都给他们看；他家中和全国之内，希西家没有一样不给他们看的。

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 于是先知以赛亚来见希西家王，问他说：「这些人说什么？他们从哪里来见你？」希西家说：「他们从远方的巴比伦来见我。」

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 以赛亚说：「他们在你家里看见了什么？」希西家说：「凡我家中所有的，他们都看见了；我财宝中没有一样不给他们看的。」

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

5 以赛亚对希西家说：「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 日子必到，凡你家里所有的，并你列祖积蓄到如今的，都要被掳到巴比伦去，不留下一样；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 并且从你本身所生的众子，其中必有被掳去、在巴比伦王宫里当太监的。」

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 希西家对以赛亚说：「你所说耶和华的话甚好，因为在我的年日中必有太平和稳固的景况。」
