Isaiah 39

1 Hiche phat chomkhat jouvin, Baladan chapa Merodach-baladan Babylon lengpan, Hezekiah chu deisahna thuthot leh thilpeh ho athotnin ahi. Aman Hezekiah chu nasatah in anadam mon, tun adamdoh tai tithu ana jah ahi.

At that time Merodach-baladan son of Baladan king of Babylon sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah, for he had heard about Hezekiah’s illness and recovery.

2 Babylon akon'a hung palai ho chunga Hezekiah akipah lheh jengin, athikhol na mun jouse avetsah soh keijin-sana, dangka, gouho leh thao namtiu ho. Gal manchah kikoina ho vedin apui kitnin, leng thilkholna jouse avetsah soh keijin ahi! Hezekiah in leng inpi sung hihen lang, lenggam sung hijong leh avetsah lou a umpon ahi.

And Hezekiah welcomed the envoys gladly and showed them what was in his treasure house—the silver, the gold, the spices, and the precious oil, as well as his entire armory—all that was found in his storehouses. There was nothing in his palace or in all his dominion that Hezekiah did not show them.

3 Hichun themgao Isaiah chu Hezekiah lengpa kom'a achen, a dongtan ahi. “Hiche miho hin ipi angaichat uham? Hoilai akon'a hung hiuva ham? Hezekiah in adonbut in, “Amaho hi gamla tah aum Babylon'a kon hung ahiuve.”

Then the prophet Isaiah went to King Hezekiah and asked, “Where did those men come from, and what did they say to you?” “They came to me from a distant land,” Hezekiah replied, “from Babylon.”

4 “Leng inpi sunga chu ipi pi amu uvem?” tin Isaiah in adongin ahi. “Imajouse amu soh keijuve,” tin Hezekiah in adonbut in, “Kanei jouse- thilkholna jouse kavetsah soh keijin ahi: ati.

“What have they seen in your palace?” Isaiah asked. “They have seen everything in my palace,” answered Hezekiah. “There is nothing among my treasures that I did not show them.”

5 Hichun Isaiah in Hezekiah hnga aseitan, “Van Janel Pakai in thuhil nahin thot hi ngaijin:

Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the LORD of Hosts:

6 'Phat ahung lhunge, leng inpi a'um umajouse-napu napa gou anakhol jouse leh tua na kikhol tup jouseu, Babylon'a poh doh gam ding ahitai. Imacha kidalha lou ding ahi, tin Pakai in aseije.

The time will surely come when everything in your palace and all that your fathers have stored up until this day will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says the LORD.

7 'Na chateu pasal phabep puimang umdiu ahi. Amaho chu Babylon lengpa insunga nukiso'a pangu va, mi jenle'a umdiu ahi.”

And some of your descendants, your own flesh and blood, will be taken away to be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”

8 Hichun Hezekiah in Isaiah henga aseijin “Hichu thuhil Pakai'a kon'a neipeh hi aphaleh jenge.” Ajehchu lengpan ageldan chu, “Ka hin sunga hi chamna leh bitna umding ahinai,” ti ahi.

But Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of the LORD that you have spoken is good.” For he thought, “At least there will be peace and security in my lifetime.”
