Gott findet es nicht so toll, was Hiskija dann macht

1 In der Zeit war in Babylonien gerade Merodach-Baladan an der Macht, der aus der Familie von Baladan kam. Als der hörte, dass Hiskija schlimm krank gewesen war, es ihm jetzt aber besser ging, schickte er einen Blumenstrauß, einen großen Obstkorb, Schokolade und einen Brief. Das Ganze wurde von ein paar Angestellten Hiskija persönlich überbracht. 

2 Hiskija freute sich voll darüber. Er lud die Angestellten zu sich nach Hause ein und zeigte ihnen sein ganzes Anwesen. Schließlich gab es sogar noch eine Führung durch das ganze Regierungsgebäude und seine eigene Villa. Er zeigte ihnen seinen privaten Waffenschrank, seinen großen begehbaren Kühlschrank mit Spezialitäten ‚aus aller Welt, seine Sammlung von voll teuren Parfüms, seine Antiquitätensammlung, den ganzen Goldschmuck, den er besaß, und am Ende ließ er sie sogar in seine Kontoauszüge sehen, um zu zeigen, wie reich er ist. 

3 Als die Männer wieder weg waren, kam der Prophetentyp Jesaja mal auf Besuch vorbei. „Was wollten diese Männer eigentlich hier?“, fragte er Hiskija. „Und woher kamen die?“ – „Die kamen aus dem Ausland, aus Babylonien“, antwortete er. 

4 „Und was haben die sich in Ihrem Haus alles angesehen?“ – „Eigentlich alles“, lachte Hiskija. „Es gibt nichts, was ich ihnen nicht gezeigt hätte, inklusive meiner Kontoauszüge und des ganzen Goldschmucks, der mir gehört.“ 

5 „Hm, hören Sie mal, was der Chef von allem, Gott selbst, dazu zu sagen hat: 

6 ,Es wird eine Zeit geben, da kommt alles, was dir gehört, also der ganze Besitz, inklusive der Sachen, die du von deinem Vater geerbt hast, nach Babylon. Nichts wird davon hierbleiben. 

7 Viele deiner Söhne werden nach Babylon verschleppt, und zwar auch die, die du erst noch bekommen wirst. Sie werden direkt beim Präsidenten in seinem Privathaushalt Zwangsarbeit machen müssen.‘“ 

8 „Gut, wenn Gott das so sagt, dann ist das wohl okay für mich“, meinte Hiskija. Dabei dachte er: „Solange alles friedlich abgeht, während ich noch lebe, ist das für mich okay so.“

Jesaja 39

King James Version

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

2 And Hezekiah was glad of them, and shewed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not. 

3 Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country unto me, even from Babylon. 

4 Then said he, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them. 

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

6 Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD. 

7 And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon. 

8 Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.

English Standard Version

Envoys from Babylon

1 At that time Merodach-baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent envoys with letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he heard that he had been sick and had recovered. (2Kön 20,12; 2Chr 32,31) 

2 And Hezekiah welcomed them gladly. And he showed them his treasure house, the silver, the gold, the spices, the precious oil, his whole armory, all that was found in his storehouses. There was nothing in his house or in all his realm that Hezekiah did not show them. (2Kön 18,15; 2Kön 18,16; 2Chr 32,25) 

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

4 He said, “What have they seen in your house?” Hezekiah answered, “They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing in my storehouses that I did not show them.” 

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

6 Behold, the days are coming, when all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have stored up till this day, shall be carried to Babylon. Nothing shall be left, says the LORD. (2Kön 24,13; 2Kön 25,13) 

7 And some of your own sons, who will come from you, whom you will father, shall be taken away, and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.” (Dan 1,2; Dan 1,3; Dan 1,7) 

8 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of the LORD that you have spoken is good.” For he thought, “There will be peace and security in my days.” (2Chr 32,26)
