Isaiah 39

ba'et hahi shalakh merodakh baladan ben-baladan melekh-bavel sefarim uminkhah el-khizqiyyahu vayyishma ki khalah vayyekhezaq

At that time, Merodach-baladan son of Baladan, the king of Babylon, sent [envoys with] a letter and a gift to Hezekiah, for he had heard about his illness and recovery.

vayyismakh alehem khizqiyyahu vayyarem et-bet nekhotoh et-hakkesef ve'et-hazzahav ve'et-habbesamim ve'et hashemen hattov ve'et kol-bet kelayw ve'et kol-asher nimtsa be'otserotayw lo-hayah davar asher lo-heram khizqiyyahu beveto uvekhol-memshalto

Hezekiah was pleased by their coming, and he showed them his treasure house—the silver, the gold, the spices, and the fragrant oil—and all his armory, and everything that was to be found in his storehouses. There was nothing in his palace or in all his realm that Hezekiah did not show them.

vayyavo yeshayahu hannavi el-hammelekh khizqiyyahu vayyomer elayw mah ameru ha'anashim ha'elleh ume'ayin yavo'u elekha vayyomer khizqiyyahu me'erets rekhoqah ba'u elay mibbavel

Then the prophet Isaiah came to King Hezekiah. “What,” he demanded of him, “did those men say to you? Where have they come to you from?” “They have come to me,” replied Hezekiah, “from a far country, from Babylon.”

vayyomer mah ra'u bevetekha vayyomer khizqiyyahu et kol-asher beveti ra'u lo-hayah davar asher lo-hiritim be'otserotay

Next he asked, “What have they seen in your palace?” And Hezekiah replied, “They have seen everything there is in my palace. There was nothing in my storehouses that I did not show them.”

vayyomer yeshayahu el-khizqiyyahu shema devar-Adonai tseva'ot

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

hinneh yamim ba'im venissa kol-asher bevetekha va'asher atseru avotekha ad-hayyom hazzeh bavel lo-yivvater davar amar Adonai

A time is coming when everything in your palace, which your ancestors have stored up to this day, will be carried off to Babylon; nothing will be left behind, said GOD.

umibbanekha asher yetse'u mimmekha asher tolid yiqqakhu vehayu sarisim behekhal melekh bavel

And some of your sons, your own issue, whom you will have fathered, will be taken to serve as eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”

vayyomer khizqiyyahu el-yeshayahu tov devar-Adonai asher dibbarta vayyomer ki yihyeh shalom ve'emet beyamay

Hezekiah declared to Isaiah, “The word of GOD that you have spoken is good.” For he thought, “It means that safety is assured for my time.”
