Isaiah 39

1 To nathuem ah Babylon siangpahrang, Baladan capa Merodak-Baladan mah, Hezekiah loe ngannat, toe ngantui let boeh, tiah thaih naah, ca hoi tangqumnawk to pat pae.

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

2 Hezekiah mah to laicaehnawk to anghoehaih hoiah dawt moe, hmuenmae suekhaih imthung ih atho kaom hmuenmaenawk to patuek, sui hoi sumkanglung, hmuihoih tuinawk, atho kaom situi, hmuenmae patunghaih ahmuennawk, kahoih koek qawk ah suek ih hmuenmaenawk to anih mah patuek; Hezekiah mah a imthung ih hmuen hoi a prae thungah kaom hmuennawk nihcae khae patuek ai ih hmuen tidoeh om ai.

And Hezekiah was delighted with them, and showed the embassy his treasure-house, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil, and his whole armory, and all that was found in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, which Hezekiah did not show them.

3 To naah tahmaa Isaiah loe Hezekiah siangpahrang khaeah caeh moe, Hae kaminawk mah timaw thuih o? Naabang hoiah maw angzoh o? tiah a duengh. Hezekiah mah, Angthla parai prae, Babylon hoiah angzoh o, tiah a naa.

Then came Isaiah the prophet to King Hezekiah, and said to him, What did these men say, and whence did they come to thee? And Hezekiah said, They came to me from a distant country, from Babylon.

4 To naah tahmaa mah, Na siangpahrang imthung ih tih hmuennawk maw a hnuk o loe? tiah a duengh. Hezekiah mah, Ka siangpahrang imthung ih hmuennawk to a hnuk o boih; hmuenmae ka suekhaih ahmuen ah kaom hmuennawk thungah nihcae mah hnuk ai ih hmuenmae tidoeh om ai, tiah a naa.

Then said he, What have they seen in thy house? And Hezekiah answered: All that is in my house have they seen. There is nothing in my treasures which I have not shown them.

5 To naah Isaiah mah, Misatuh kaminawk Angraeng ih lok to tahngai ah;

Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, hear the word of Jehovah of hosts,

6 khenah, Na siangpahrang imthung ih hmuenmaenawk boih, nam panawk mah vaihni ni khoek to patung o ih hmuenmaenawk boih, Babylon ah phaw o tih boeh; maeto doeh anghmat o sak mak ai, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.

Behold, the days shall come, when all that is in thy house, and that thy fathers have treasured up to this day, shall be carried away to Babylon. Nothing shall be left, saith Jehovah.

7 Thoemto na caanawk, nangmah ih athii angan thung hoi tacawt kaminawk to nihcae mah naeh o boih ueloe, nihcae to Babylon siangpahrang im ah tangyat kret pae o tih, tiah a naa.

And of thy sons, which shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away, and they shall he eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.

8 Hezekiah mah kawbangah doeh ka hing nathung loe misa mong tangtanghaih to om tih, tiah a poek; anih mah Isaiah khaeah, Na thuih ih Angraeng lok loe hoih, tiah a naa.

Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of Jehovah, which thou hast spoken. For, said he, there shall be peace and security in my days.
