¹في ذلك الزمان ارسل مرودخ بلادان بن بلادان ملك بابل رسائل وهدية الى حزقيا لانه سمع انه مرض ثم صحّ.

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

²ففرح بهم حزقيا واراهم بيت ذخائره الفضة والذهب والاطياب والزيت الطيب وكل بيت اسلحته وكل ما وجد في خزائنه. لم يكن شيء لم يرهم اياه حزقيا في بيته وفي كل ملكه

²Hezekiah was pleased with them, and showed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, the spices, and the precious oil, and all the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah didn’t show them.

³فجاء اشعياء النبي الى الملك حزقيا وقال له. ماذا قال هؤلاء الرجال ومن اين جاءوا اليك. فقال حزقيا جاءوا اليّ من ارض بعيدة من بابل.

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

⁴فقال ماذا رأوا في بيتك. فقال حزقيا رأوا كل ما في بيتي. ليس في خزائني شيء لم أرهم اياه.

⁴Then he asked, “What have they seen in your house?” Hezekiah answered, “They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.”

⁵فقال اشعياء لحزقيا اسمع قول رب الجنود.

⁵Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of Yahweh of Armies:

⁶هوذا تأتي ايام يحمل فيها كل ما في بيتك وما خزنه آباؤك الى هذا اليوم الى بابل. لا يترك شيء يقول الرب.

⁶‘Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have stored up until this day, will be carried to Babylon. Nothing will be left,’ says Yahweh.

⁷ومن بنيك الذين يخرجون منك الذين تلدهم ياخذون فيكونون خصيانا في قصر ملك بابل.

⁷‘They will take away your sons who will issue from you, whom you shall father, and they will be eunuchs in the king of Babylon’s palace.’”

⁸فقال حزقيا لاشعياء جيد هو قول الرب الذي تكلمت به. وقال فانه يكون سلام وامان في ايامي

⁸Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “Yahweh’s word which you have spoken is good.” He said moreover, “For there will be peace and truth in my days.”
