1 A t that time Merodach-baladan son of Baladan king of Babylon sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he had heard that he had been sick and had recovered.

En aquel tiempo Merodac-baladán hijo de Baladán, rey de Babilonia, envió cartas y presentes a Ezequías; porque supo que había estado enfermo, y que había convalecido.

2 A nd Hezekiah was glad and welcomed them and showed them the house of his spices and precious things—the silver, the gold, the spices, the precious ointment, all the house of his armor and his jewels, and all that was found in his treasuries. There was nothing in his house nor in all his dominion that Hezekiah did not show them.

Y se regocijó con ellos Ezequías, y les mostró la casa de su tesoro, plata y oro, especias, ung: uentos preciosos, toda su casa de armas, y todo lo que se hallaba en sus tesoros; no hubo cosa en su casa y en todos sus dominios, que Ezequías no les mostrase.

3 T hen came Isaiah the prophet to King Hezekiah and said to him, What did these men say? From where did they come to you? And Hezekiah said, They came to me from a far country, even from Babylon.

Entonces el profeta Isaías vino al rey Ezequías, y le dijo: ¿Qué dicen estos hombres, y de dónde han venido a ti? Y Ezequías respondió: De tierra muy lejana han venido a mí, de Babilonia.

4 T hen Isaiah said, What have they seen in your house? And Hezekiah answered, They have seen all that is in my house; there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.

Dijo entonces: ¿Qué han visto en tu casa? Y dijo Ezequías: Todo lo que hay en mi casa han visto, y ninguna cosa hay en mis tesoros que no les haya mostrado.

5 T hen said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the Lord of hosts:

Entonces dijo Isaías a Ezequías: Oye palabra de Jehová de los ejércitos:

6 B ehold, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and that which your predecessors have stored up till this day, shall be carried to Babylon. Nothing shall be left, says the Lord.

He aquí vienen días en que será llevado a Babilonia todo lo que hay en tu casa, y lo que tus padres han atesorado hasta hoy; ninguna cosa quedará, dice Jehová.

7 A nd some of your own sons who are born to you shall be taken away, and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.

De tus hijos que saldrán de ti, y que habrás engendrado, tomarán, y serán eunucos en el palacio del rey de Babilonia.

8 T hen said Hezekiah to Isaiah, The word of the Lord which you have spoken is good. And he added, For there will be peace and faithfulness in my days.

Y dijo Ezequías a Isaías: La palabra de Jehová que has hablado es buena. Y añadió: A lo menos, haya paz y seguridad en mis días.
