Isaiah 39
1 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.
Nan lè sa a Merodac-Baladan, fis a Baladan nan, wa Babylon nan, te voye lèt ak yon kado bay Ézéchias, paske li te tande ke li te malad, e li te refè.
2 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.
Ézéchias te kontan e te montre yo tout trezò lakay li yo; ajan ak lò a, epis ak lwil presye, tout zam li yo ak tout sa ki te la nan trezò a. Pa t gen anyen lakay li a ni nan tout wayòm li an ke Ézéchias pa t montre yo.
3 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.”
Alò, Ésaïe, pwofèt la, te vin kote Wa Ézéchias. Li te di l: “Se kisa mesye sa yo te di, e se kibò yo sòti pou vin kote nou la a?” Ézéchias te di: “Yo vin kote m soti nan yon peyi lwen, Babylone.”
4 “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.”
Li te di: “Se kisa yo te wè lakay ou a?” Ézéchias te reponn: “Yo te wè tout sa ki lakay mwen an. Nanpwen anyen pami trezò mwen yo ke mwen pa t montre yo.”
5 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the LORD of Hosts:
Konsa, Ésaïe te di a Ézéchias: “Tande pawòl SENYÈ dèzame yo,
6 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.
‘Gade byen, jou yo ap vini lè tout sa ki lakay ou ak tout sa ke papa ou yo te mete nan depo, jis rive nan jodi a, va pote ale Babylone. Anyen p ap rete’, pale SENYÈ a.
7 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.”
‘Va gen kèk nan fis ou yo ki sòti nan ou menm, ke ou va fè. Yo va pote ale, e yo va vin fè ofisye nan palè a wa Babylon nan.’”
8 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.”
Ézéchias te di a Ésaïe: “Pawòl SENYÈ ke ou te pale a, bon.” Paske li te panse: “Ap gen lapè ak verite nan jou mwen yo.”
