< 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.
Ie amy zay, nampañitrike taratasy naho ravoravo am’ Iekizkia t’i Merodak-baladane ana’ i Baladane, mpanjaka’ i Bavele; amy te jinanji’e t’ie natindry vaho nibodañe.
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.
Nifale t’Iekizkia vaho natoro’e iareo ty trañom-bara’e, ty volafoty, ty volamena, naho o fampafiriañeo, i menake sarotsey naho i trañom-pikalaña’e iabiy naho ze hene nioniñe amo vara’eo; tsy añ’anjomba’e ao ndra am-pifehea’e iaby ty tsy natoro’e.
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.”
Aa le niheo mb’ am’ Iekizkia mb’eo t’Iesaià nanao ty hoe: Ino ty nisaontsia’ indaty rey? Le aia ty nihirifa’ iareo te nimb’ ama’o? Le hoe t’Iekizkia: Boak’ am-pifelehañe tsietoitane añe t’ie nimb’ amako mb’ etoy; hirike e Bavele añe.
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.”
Le hoe re: Ino ty niisa’ iareo añ’anjomba’o ao? Nanoiñe ty hoe t’Iekizkia: Fonga niisa’ iereo ze añ’anjombako ao, tsy amo varakoo ty tsy nitoroako.
5 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the LORD of Hosts:
Aa le hoe t’Iesaià am’ Iekizkia: Janjiño ty tsara’ Iehovà’ i Màroy:
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.
Toe ho avy ty andro, te hendeseñe mb’e Bavele mb’eo ze he’e añ’ anjomba’o ao naho o vara nahajan-droae’o ho ami’ty andro toio, leo raike tsy hapoke, hoe t’Iehovà.
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.”
Le o anake hiboak’ ama’oo, o hasama’oo, ro hasese mb’eo ho vositse añ’ anjombam-panjaka’ i Bavele ao.
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.”
Le hoe ty natoi’ Iekizkia am’ Iesaià: Soa i tsara’ Iehovà nisaon­tsie’oy, ie nañereñere ty hoe; Amy te hanjo fierañerañañe naho havañonan-draho amo androkoo.
