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, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah: for he had heard that he had been sick, 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 Hezekiah was glad of them, and shewed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not.

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 from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country unto me, even 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.

Then said he, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them.

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

Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of Yhwh of Armies:

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, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith Yhwh.

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 that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be 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.

Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of Yhwh which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.
