Isaiah 39

New International Version

from Biblica
1 At that time Marduk-Baladan son of Baladan king of Babylon sent Hezekiah letters and a gift, because he had heard of his illness and recovery. 2 Hezekiah received the envoys gladly and showed them what was in his storehouses – the silver, the gold, the spices, the fine olive oil – his entire armoury and everything found among his treasures. There was nothing in his palace or in all his kingdom that Hezekiah did not show them. 3 Then Isaiah the prophet went to King Hezekiah and asked, ‘What did those men say, and where did they come from?’ ‘From a distant land,’ Hezekiah replied. ‘They came to me from Babylon.’ 4 The prophet asked, ‘What did they see in your palace?’ ‘They saw everything in my palace,’ Hezekiah said. ‘There is nothing among my treasures that I did not show them.’ 5 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, ‘Hear the word of the Lord Almighty: 6 the time will surely come when everything in your palace, and all that your predecessors have stored up until this day, will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says the Lord. 7 And some of your descendants, your own flesh and blood who will be born to you, will be taken away, and they will become eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.’ 8 ‘The word of the Lord you have spoken is good,’ Hezekiah replied. For he thought, ‘There will be peace and security in my lifetime.’

Isaiah 39

Nya Levande Bibeln

from Biblica
1 Strax efteråt skickade kungen i Babylon, Merodak-Baladan, Baladans son, gåvor och hälsningar till Hiskia, därför att han hört att denne varit svårt sjuk men blivit frisk igen. 2 Hiskia uppskattade detta mycket och tog med sig sändebuden från Babylon på en rundvandring i palatset och visade dem allt silver och guld, alla välluktande kryddor och parfymer. Han lät dem också komma in i skattkammaren och öppnade kassakistan. Han undanhöll inte något för dem. 3 Profeten Jesaja kom då till kungen och frågade: "Vad ville dina besökare? Var kom de ifrån?""De kom ända bortifrån Babylon", svarade Hiskia. 4 "Hur mycket lät du dem se?" undrade Jesaja."Jag visade dem allt. Jag dolde ingenting." 5 Då sa Jesaja till honom: "Hör här vad Herren, härskarornas Gud, säger till dig: 6 'Den tid ska komma då allt du äger, alla skatter som dina förfäder har samlat, ska föras bort till Babylon. Ingenting kommer att lämnas kvar. 7 Och några av dina egna söner kommer att bli slavar i den babyloniske kungens palats.' " 8 "Jaha", kommenterade Hiskia. "Allt som Herren säger är rätt och riktigt." Men för sig själv tänkte han: "Det kommer åtminstone att vara fred under min livstid!"
