Isaías 39
Dios Habla Hoy
Ezequías recibe a los enviados de Babilonia(A)
39 Por aquel tiempo el rey Merodac-baladán, hijo de Baladán, rey de Babilonia, oyó decir que Ezequías había estado enfermo pero que ya había recobrado la salud, y por medio de unos mensajeros le envió cartas y un regalo. 2 Ezequías se alegró de su llegada y les mostró su tesoro, la plata y el oro, los perfumes, el aceite fino y su depósito de armas, y todo lo que se encontraba en sus depósitos. No hubo nada en su palacio ni en todo su reino que no les mostrara. 3 Entonces fue el profeta Isaías a ver al rey Ezequías, y le preguntó:
—¿De dónde vinieron esos hombres, y qué te dijeron?
Ezequías respondió:
—Vinieron de un país lejano; vinieron de Babilonia.
4 Isaías le preguntó:
—¿Y qué vieron en tu palacio?
Ezequías contestó:
—Vieron todo lo que hay en él. No hubo nada en mis depósitos que yo no les mostrara.
5 Isaías dijo entonces a Ezequías:
—Escucha este mensaje del Señor todopoderoso: 6 “Van a venir días en que todo lo que hay en tu palacio y todo lo que juntaron tus antepasados hasta el día de hoy, será llevado a Babilonia. No quedará aquí nada. 7 Aun a algunos de tus propios descendientes se los llevarán a Babilonia, los castrarán y los pondrán como criados en el palacio del rey.”
8 Ezequías, pensando que al menos durante su vida habría paz y seguridad, respondió a Isaías:
—El mensaje que me has traído de parte del Señor es favorable.
Isaiah 39
New International Version
Envoys From Babylon(A)
39 At that time Marduk-Baladan son of Baladan king of Babylon(B) sent Hezekiah letters and a gift, because he had heard of his illness and recovery. 2 Hezekiah received the envoys(C) gladly and showed them what was in his storehouses—the silver, the gold,(D) the spices, the fine olive oil—his entire armory and everything found among his treasures.(E) There was nothing in his palace or in all his kingdom that Hezekiah did not show them.
3 Then Isaiah the prophet went to King Hezekiah and asked, “What did those men say, and where did they come from?”
“From a distant land,(F)” Hezekiah replied. “They came to me from Babylon.”
4 The prophet asked, “What did they see in your palace?”
“They saw everything in my palace,” Hezekiah said. “There is nothing among my treasures that I did not show them.”
5 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word(G) of the Lord Almighty: 6 The time will surely come when everything in your palace, and all that your predecessors have stored up until this day, will be carried off to Babylon.(H) Nothing will be left, says the Lord. 7 And some of your descendants, your own flesh and blood who will be born to you, will be taken away, and they will become eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.(I)”
8 “The word of the Lord you have spoken is good,(J)” Hezekiah replied. For he thought, “There will be peace and security in my lifetime.(K)”
Isaiah 39
English Standard Version
Envoys from Babylon
39 (A)At that time Merodach-baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, (B)sent envoys with letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he heard that he had been sick and had recovered. 2 And Hezekiah welcomed them gladly. And he showed them his treasure house, (C)the silver, the gold, the spices, the precious oil, his whole armory, all that was found in his storehouses. (D)There was nothing in his house or in all his realm that Hezekiah did not show them. 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 (E)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. 7 (F)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.” 8 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of the Lord that you have spoken is good.” For he thought, (G)“There will be peace and security in my days.”
