Jesaja 39 | New International Reader’s Version

Messengers come from Babylon to Hezekiah

1 At that time Marduk-Baladan, the king of Babylon, sent Hezekiah letters and a gift. He had heard that Hezekiah had been ill but had got well again. Marduk-Baladan was the son of Baladan. 2 Hezekiah gladly received the messengers. He showed them what was in his storerooms. He showed them the silver and gold. He took them to where the spices and the fine olive oil were kept. He showed them where he kept all his weapons. And he showed them all his treasures. In fact, he showed them everything that was in his palace and in his whole kingdom. 3 Then Isaiah the prophet went to King Hezekiah. Isaiah asked him, ‘What did those men say? Where did they come from?’ ‘They came from a land far away,’ Hezekiah said. ‘They came to me from Babylon.’ 4 Isaiah asked, ‘What did they see in your palace?’ ‘They saw everything in my palace,’ Hezekiah said. ‘I showed them all my treasures.’ 5 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, ‘Listen to the message of the LORD who rules over all. He says, 6 “You can be sure the time will come when everything in your palace will be carried off to Babylon. Everything the kings before you have stored up until this day will be taken away. There will not be anything left,” says the LORD. 7 “Some of the members of your family line will be taken away. They will be your own flesh and blood. They will include the children who will be born into your family line. And they will serve the king of Babylon in his palace.” ’ 8 ‘The message the LORD has spoken through you is good,’ Hezekiah replied. He thought, ‘There will be peace and safety while I’m still living.’

Hizkiya'nın Akılsızlığı

1 O sırada Hizkiya'nın hastalanıp iyileştiğini duyan Baladan oğlu Babil Kralı Merodak-Baladan, ona mektuplarla birlikte bir armağan gönderdi. 2 Bunlar Hizkiya'yı sevindirdi. O da deposundaki bütün değerli eşyaları -altını, gümüşü, baharatı, değerli yağı, silah deposunu ve hazine odalarındaki her şeyi- elçilere gösterdi. Sarayında da krallığında da onlara göstermediği hiçbir şey kalmadı. 3 Peygamber Yeşaya Kral Hizkiya'ya gidip, ‹‹Bu adamlar sana ne dediler, nereden gelmişler?›› diye sordu. Hizkiya, ‹‹Uzak bir ülkeden, Babil'den gelmişler›› diye karşılık verdi. 4 Yeşaya, ‹‹Sarayında ne gördüler?›› diye sordu. Hizkiya, ‹‹Sarayımdaki her şeyi gördüler, hazinelerimde onlara göstermediğim hiçbir şey kalmadı›› diye yanıtladı. 5 Bunun üzerine Yeşaya şöyle dedi: ‹‹Her Şeye Egemen RAB'bin sözüne kulak ver. 6 RAB diyor ki, ‹Gün gelecek, sarayındaki her şey, atalarının bugüne kadar bütün biriktirdikleri Babil'e taşınacak. Hiçbir şey kalmayacak. 7 Soyundan gelen bazı çocuklar alınıp götürülecek, Babil Kralı'nın sarayında hadım edilecek.› ›› 8 Hizkiya, ‹‹RAB'den ilettiğin bu söz iyi›› dedi. Çünkü, ‹‹Nasıl olsa yaşadığım sürece barış ve güvenlik olacak›› diye düşünüyordu.
