Isaiah 39

1 Hatnae tueng navah, Babilon siangpahrang, Baladan capa Merodakbaladan ni Hezekiah siangpahrang teh damhoehnae koehoi bout a dam toe tie a thai navah, ca hoi poehno a sin sak teh laicei a patoun.

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 Hezekiah teh a lunghawi poung dawkvah, amae sui kuemnae hoi sui, ngun, hmuitui, aphu kaawm e satui, senehmaica hmouknae, hoi hnopai hmouknae dawk kaawm e hno pueng hote laiceinaw hah a patue. Ama e imthung e kaawm e hoi a ram thung e kaawm e naw hah a patue hoeh e awm hoeh.

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 Hat toteh, profet Isaiah ni, Hezekiah siangpahrang koe a cei teh, hete taminaw ni bangmaw a kâhei awh. Ahnimanaw heh nâhoi maw nang koe a tho awh telah a pacei navah, Hezekiah siangpahrang ni, ahnimouh teh, ahlanae koe e ram Babilon hoi a tho awh, telah ati.

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 Hathnukkhu, nange im thung e hno bangmaw ahnimouh ni a hmu awh toung, telah bout a pacei navah, im thung e hno pueng koung a hmu awh toe. Hno hmouknae thung hoi ka patue hoeh e hno banghai awm hoeh, bout atipouh.

“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 Hat toteh, Isaiah ni, ransahu BAWIPA e lawk hah thai haw.

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

6 Nange im thung kaawm e puenghoi, sahnin ditouh mintoenaw ni a hmouk awh e pueng hah, Babilon kho lah a phu awh nahane hnin teh ka phat han. Bang hno ca boehai cawi mahoeh. BAWIPA ni ati.

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 Nang ni na khe e na canaw hoi na catounnaw hai koung hrawi awh vaiteh, ahnimouh teh, Babilon siangpahrang hanlah tuenlanaw lah ao awh han, telah Hezekiah koe a dei pouh.

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 Hezekiah ni, atangcalah kai dawk lungmawngnae hoi roumnae ao han doeh telah Isaiah koe atipouh navah, Isaiah ni, na dei e BAWIPA e lawk teh ahawi doeh telah atipouh.

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.”
