Isaiah 39
1 At that time, Merodach-baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he heard that he had been sick, and had recovered.
Saa bere no Merodak-Baladan a ɔyɛ Babiloniahene Baladan babarima soma ma wɔde krataa ne akyɛde kɔmaa Hesekia, efisɛ na wate sɛ wayare ama ne ho atɔ no.
2 Hezekiah was pleased with them, and showed them the house of his precious things, the silver, the gold, the spices, and the precious oil, and all the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah did not show them.
Hesekia gyee asomafo no fɛw so, na afei ɔde nea ɔwɔ wɔ ne adekoradan mu kyerɛɛ wɔn; dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ, nnuhuam, ngohuam, nʼakode akorae ne biribiara a ɛka nʼademude ho. Biribiara nni nʼahemfi ne nʼahenni mu a Hesekia amfa ankyerɛ wɔn.
3 Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah, and asked him, “What did these men say? From where did they come to you?” Hezekiah said, “They have come from a country far from me, even from Babylon.”
Afei Odiyifo Yesaia kɔɔ ɔhene Hesekia nkyɛn, kobisaa no se, “Asɛm bɛn na saa mmarima no kae na he na wofi bae?” Hesekia buae se, “Wofi akyirikyiri asase bi so. Wofi Babilonia, na wɔbaa me nkyɛn.”
4 Then he asked, “What have they seen in your house?” Hezekiah answered, “They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.”
Odiyifo no bisae se, “Dɛn na wohuu wɔ wʼahemfi hɔ?” Hesekia buae se, “Wohuu biribiara a ɛwɔ mʼahemfi ha. Biribiara nni mʼademude mu a mamfa ankyerɛ wɔn.”
5 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the LORD of Armies:
Afei Yesaia ka kyerɛɛ Hesekia se, “Tie asɛm a efi Asafo Awurade nkyɛn:
6 ‘Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have stored up until today, will be carried to Babylon. Nothing will be left,’ says the LORD.
Nokware, bere bi bɛba a, wɔbɛsoa biribiara a ɛwɔ wʼahemfi ne agyapade a wʼagyanom akora de abedu nnɛ no akɔ Babilonia. Biribiara renka, sɛɛ na Awurade se.
7 ‘They will take away your sons who will issue from you, whom you shall father, and they will be eunuchs in the king of Babylon’s palace.’”
Wʼankasa wʼasefo bi mpo, wɔbɛfa wɔn nnommum. Wɔbɛyɛ piamfo a wɔbɛsom wɔ Babiloniahene ahemfi.”
8 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The LORD’s word which you have spoken is good.” He said moreover, “For there will be peace and truth in my days.”
Na Hesekia ka kyerɛɛ Yesaia se, “Saa asɛm yi a efi Awurade nkyɛn a woaka akyerɛ me yi yɛ asɛm papa.” Nanso na ɔhene no redwene sɛ, ne bere so de, obenya asomdwoe ne bammɔ.
