1希西家展示所有宝物(王下20:12-15。参代下32:27-31)
1At that time hath Merodach-Baladan, son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah, when he heareth that he hath been sick, and is become strong.
2希西家就十分高兴,并且把他的宝库、银子、金子、香料和贵重的油,以及他整个武器库里和他府库里的一切物件,都给使者们看;他家里和他全国里的东西,希西家没有一样不给他们看。
2And Hezekiah rejoiceth over them, and sheweth them the house of his spices, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the good ointment, and all the house of his vessels, and all that hath been found in his treasures; there hath not been a thing in his house, and in all his dominion, that Hezekiah hath not shewed them.
3于是以赛亚先知来见希西家王,问他说:“这些人说了些什么?他们从哪里来见你?”希西家说:“他们是从远方的巴比伦来见我的。”
3And Isaiah the prophet cometh in unto king Hezekiah, and saith unto him, `What said these men? and whence come they unto thee?` And Hezekiah saith, `From a land afar off they have come unto me — from Babylon.`
4以赛亚又问:“他们在你家里看见了什么?”希西家回答:“我家中所有的,他们都看了;我的财宝中,没有一样不给他们看。”
4And he saith, `What saw they in thy house?` and Hezekiah saith, `All that [is] in my house they saw; there hath not been a thing that I have not shewed them among my treasures.`
5以赛亚预言被掳(王下20:16-19)以赛亚对希西家说:“你要听万军之耶和华的话。
5And Isaiah saith unto Hezekiah, `Hear a word of Jehovah of Hosts:
6看哪!日子必到,你家中所有的,以及你列祖所积蓄到今日的,都要被带到巴比伦去,一样也不留,这是耶和华说的。
6Lo, days are coming, and borne hath been all that [is] in thy house, and that thy fathers have treasured up till this day, to Babylon; there is not left a thing, said Jehovah;
7从你所出的众子,就是你所生的,其中必有被掳去的,在巴比伦王宫里作太监。”
7and of thy sons who come forth from thee, whom thou begettest, they take, and they have been eunuchs in a palace of the king of Babylon.`
8希西家对以赛亚说:“你所说耶和华的话不错呀!”因为他心里想:“在我有生之日,必有平安和稳固。”
8And Hezekiah saith unto Isaiah, `Good [is] the word of Jehovah that thou hast spoken;` and he saith, `Because there is peace and truth in my days.`
