Isaiah 39

1 Te vaeng tue ah Hezekiah tlo tih koep a thoh te Babylon manghai Baladan capa Merodachbaladan loh a yaak tih ca neh khocang a pat.

At that time, Merodach-baladan son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah, —for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick, and had recovered.

2 Hezekiah loh te te a kohoe tih a anhoi im khaw, a likmal khaw, cak neh sui khaw, botui neh situi then khaw, a im kah hnopai boeih te amih a tueng. A thakvoh khuikah a cungkuem te khaw a hmuh sak. A im neh a khohung pum kah aka om te Hezekiah loh amih a tueng pawh hno pakhat khaw om pawh.

And Hezekiah, rejoiced over them, and showed them his house of precious things—the silver and the gold and the spices and the precious ointment and all his armoury—and all that was found among his treasures, —there was nothing, which Hezekiah, did not show them—in his house or in all his dominion.

3 Te phoeiah tonghma Isaiah loh manghai Hezekiah te a paan tih, “Hekah hlang rhoek he balae a thui uh? Me lamkah lae nang taengla ha pawk uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah Hezekiah loh, “Khohla hmuen Babylon lamloh kai taengla ha pawk uh dae he,” a ti nah.

Then came Isaiah the prophet, unto King Hezekiah, —and said unto him—What said these men? and whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, From a land far away, came they unto me, from Babylon!

4 Te phoeiah, “Na im ah balae a hmuh uh,” a ti nah hatah Hezekiah loh, “Ka im kah te boeih a hmuh uh. Ka thakvoh khuikah te amih ka tueng pawh hno pakhat khaw om pawh,” a ti nah.

And he said, What have they seen in thy house? Then said Hezekiah, —All that is in my house, have they seen, there is nothing which I shewed them not among my treasures.

5 Te vaengah Isaiah loh Hezekiah te, “caempuei BOEIPA kah ol he hnatun lah.

Then said Isaiah unto Hezekiah, —Hear thou the word of Yahweh of hosts:

6 A khohnin ha pawk vaengah na im kah aka om boeih neh na pa rhoek loh tihnin duela a kael te khaw a phueih ni. Babylon loh hno pakhat khaw caknoi mahpawh, BOEIPA loh a thui.

Lo! days are coming, when all that is in thy house, and that which thy fathers have treasured up until this day, shall be carried away unto Babylon, —nothing, shall be left, Saith Yahweh.

7 Namah lamkah na sak na ca rhoek lamloh aka thoeng rhoek te khaw a khuen uh vetih Babylon manghai bawkim ah imkhoem la poeh uh ni,” a ti nah.

And of thy sons who shall issue from thee whom thou shalt beget, shall they take away, —and they shall become eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.

8 Hezekiah loh Isaiah taengah, “BOEIPA kah ol then ni na thui coeng te. Kamah tue vaengah ngaimong neh uepomnah om sak ham ni a thui dae,” a ti nah.

And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, Good is the word of Yahweh, which thou hast spoken. And he said, Surely, there shall be peace and stability in my days.
