Isaías 39— comparação

1Naquele tempo, Merodaque-Baladã, filho de Baladã, rei da Babilônia, enviou cartas e um presente a Ezequias, pois soube que ele estivera doente e havia se recuperado.

2Ezequias se alegrou com eles, e lhes mostrou a casa de suas coisas preciosas, a prata, o ouro, as especiarias e o óleo precioso, e toda a casa de suas armas, e tudo o que se encontrava em seus tesouros. Não houve nada em sua casa, nem em todo o seu domínio, que Ezequias não lhes mostrasse.

3Então o profeta Isaías veio ao rei Ezequias, e lhe perguntou: “O que estes homens disseram? De onde eles vieram até você?”

4Então ele perguntou: “O que eles viram em sua casa?”

5Então Isaías disse a Ezequias: “Ouça a palavra do SENHOR dos Exércitos:

6‘Eis que vêm dias em que tudo o que há em sua casa, e o que os seus pais acumularam até o dia de hoje, será levado para a Babilônia. Nada restará’, diz o SENHOR.

7‘Eles levarão os seus filhos que procederão de você, os quais você gerará, e eles serão eunucos no palácio do rei da Babilônia.’”

8Então Ezequias disse a Isaías: “A palavra do SENHOR que você falou é boa.” Ele disse mais: “Pois haverá paz e verdade em meus dias.”

1At 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.

2Hezekiah 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.

3Then 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.”

4Then 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.”

5Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of Yahweh of Armies:

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 Yahweh.

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.’”

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