< 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 Marodach Baladan, the son of Baladan, the king of Babylonia, sent letters and ambassadors and gifts to Ezekias: for he had heard that he had been sick [even] to death, and was 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 Ezekias was glad of their coming, and he showed them the house of [his] spices, and of silver, and gold, and myrrh, and incense, and ointment, and all the houses of his treasures, and all that he had in his stores: and there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, which Ezekias did not show.
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.
And Esaias the prophet came to king Ezekias, and said to him, What say these men? and whence came they to you? and Ezekias said, They are come to me from a land afar off, 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 Esaias said, What have they seen in your house? and Ezekias said, They have seen everything in my house; and there is nothing in my house which they have not seen: yes, also the [possessions] in my treasuries.
5 Te vaengah Isaiah loh Hezekiah te, “caempuei BOEIPA kah ol he hnatun lah.
And Esaias said to him, Hear the word of the Lord 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.
Behold, the days come, when they shall take all the [things that are] in your house, and all that your fathers have gathered until this day, shall go to Babylon; and they shall not leave anything at all: and God has said,
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.
that they shall take also of your children whom you shall beget; and they shall make them eunuchs in the house of the king of the Babylonians.
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 Ezekias said to Esaias, Good is the word of the Lord, which he has spoken: let there, I pray, be peace and righteousness in my days.
