Isaiæ 39

NOVA VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
1 In tempore illo misit Merodachbaladan filius Baladan rex Babylonislitteras et munera ad Ezechiam; audierat enim quod aegrotasset et convaluisset.	1 At that time, the king of Babylon, Merodach-Baladan son of Baladan, sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah,for he had heard of his illness and his recovery.
2 Laetatus est autem super eis Ezechias et ostendit eis cellam thesauri sui etargentum et aurum et aromata et oleum optimum et omnes apothecas supellectilissuae et universa, quae inventa sunt in thesauris eius. Nihil fuit, quod nonostenderet eis Ezechias in domo sua et in omni potestate sua.	2 Hezekiah was delighted at this and showed the ambassadors his entire treasury, the silver, gold,spices, precious oil, his armoury too, and everything to be seen in his storehouses. There was nothing in hispalace or in his whole domain that Hezekiah did not show them.
3 Introivit autem Isaias propheta ad Ezechiam regem et dixit ei: “ Quiddixerunt viri isti et unde venerunt ad te? ”. Et dixit Ezechias: “ De terralonginqua venerunt ad me, de Babylone ”.	3 The prophet Isaiah then came to King Hezekiah and asked him, 'What have these men said, and wherehave they come to you from?' Hezekiah answered, 'They have come from a distant country, from Babylon.'
4 Et dixit: “Quid viderunt in domotua?”. Et dixit Ezechias: “ Omnia, quae in domo mea sunt, viderunt; non fuitres, quam non ostenderim eis in thesauris meis ”.	4 Isaiah said, 'What have they seen in your palace?' 'They have seen everything in my palace,' Hezekiahanswered. 'There is nothing in my storehouses that I have not shown them.'
5 Et dixit Isaias ad Ezechiam: “ Audi verbum Domini exercituum:	5 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, 'Listen to the word of Yahweh Sabaoth,
6 Ecce diesvenient, et auferentur omnia, quae in domo tua sunt, et quae thesaurizaveruntpatres tui usque ad diem hanc, in Babylonem; non relinquetur quidquam, dicitDominus.	6 "The days are coming when everything in your palace, everything that your ancestors have amasseduntil now, wil be carried off to Babylon. Not a thing wil be left," Yahweh says.
7 Et de filiis tuis, qui exibunt de te, quos genueris, tollent, eterunt eunuchi in palatio regis Babylonis ”.	7 "Sons sprung from you, sons begotten by you, will be abducted to be eunuchs in the palace of the kingof Babylon." '
8 Et dixit Ezechias ad Isaiam: “Bonum verbum Domini, quod locutus est ”. Et dixit: “ Dummodo fiat pax etsecuritas in diebus meis ”.	8 Hezekiah said to Isaiah, 'This word of Yahweh that you announce is reassuring,' for he was thinking,'There is going to be peace and security during my lifetime.'
