< 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.
In pacl sac pacna Merodach Baladan, tokosra lun acn Babylonia su wen natul Baladan, el lohng lah Tokosra Hezekiah el mas, na el supwala leta se wi mwe kite se nu sel.
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.
Hezekiah el paing mwet tutafpo inge nu in lohm sel, ac sang elos in liye lupan mwe kasrup lal inge: silver ac gold lal, mwe akyuye mwe mongo ac ono keng lal, ac kufwen mwe mweun nukewa lal. Wangin kutena ma ke nien filma lal, ku kutena acn in tokosrai lal, su el tia sang elos in liye.
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.”
Tukun ma inge, mwet palu Isaiah el som nu yorol Tokosra Hezekiah ac siyuk, “Mwet inge tuku ya me, ac mea elos fahk nu sum ah?” Hezekiah el topuk, “Elos tuku Babylonia me, sie facl su oan yen loessula.”
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.”
“Mea elos liye inkul sin tokosra?” “Elos liye ma nukewa. Wangin kutena ma in nien filma su nga tia sang elos liye.”
5 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the LORD of Hosts:
Na Isaiah el fahk nu sel tokosra, “LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk mu
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.
pacl se ac fah tuku ke ma nukewa inkul sum uh, ac ma nukewa ma mwet matu lom elos tuh elosak nwe misenge, ac fah utukla nu Babylonia. Wangin ma ac fah oan.
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.”
Kutu sin tulik na pwaye ke fwilin tulik nutum ac fah utukla in orekla mwet eunuch tuh elos in kulansap ke inkul sin tokosra lun acn Babylonia.”
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.”
Tokosra Hezekiah el eis mu kalmen ma se inge pa ac fah oasr misla ac wangin lokoalok wacl. Ouinge el fahk, “Wona kas in palu ma kom fahk nu sik sin LEUM GOD inge.”
