Isaiah 39
1 At that time Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters with an offering to Hezekiah, because he had news that Hezekiah had been ill, and was well again.
Nthawi imeneyo Merodaki-Baladani, mwana wa Baladani mfumu ya ku Babuloni anatumiza nthumwi kwa Hezekiya nawapatsira makalata ndi mphatso, pakuti anamva za kudwala kwake ndi kuti anachira.
2 And Hezekiah was glad at their coming, and let them see all his store of wealth, the silver and the gold and the spices and the oil, and all the house of his arms, and everything there was in his stores: there was nothing in all his house or his kingdom which he did not let them see.
Hezekiya anawalandira mwasangala ndipo anawaonetsa zonse zimene zinali mʼnyumba zake zosungiramo siliva, golide, zokometsera zakudya, mafuta abwino kwambiri, zida zonse zankhondo ndiponso zonse zimene zinkapezeka mʼnyumba zake zosungiramo chuma. Panalibe kanthu kalikonse ka mʼnyumba yaufumu kapena mu ufumu wake onse kamene sanawaonetse.
3 Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah, and said to him, What did these men say, and where did they come from? And Hezekiah said, They came from a far country, even from Babylon.
Tsono mneneri Yesaya anapita kwa mfumu Hezekiya ndipo anamufunsa kuti, “Kodi anthu aja anakuwuzani chiyani, ndipo anachokera kuti?” Hezekiya anayankha kuti, “Anachokera ku dziko lakutali, ku Babuloni.”
4 And he said, What have they seen in your house? And Hezekiah said in answer, They saw everything in my house: there is nothing among my stores which I did not let them see.
Mneneri anafunsanso kuti, “Kodi mʼnyumba yanu yaufumu anaonamo chiyani?” Hezekiya anati, “Anaona chilichonse cha mʼnyumba yanga yaufumu. Palibe ndi chimodzi chomwe za mʼnyumba yosungiramo chuma changa chimene sindinawaonetse.”
5 Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Give ear to the word of the Lord of armies:
Pamenepo Yesaya anati kwa Hezekiya, “Imvani mawu a Yehova Wamphamvuzonse:
6 Truly, the days are coming when everything in your house, and whatever your fathers have put in store till this day, will be taken away to Babylon: all will be gone.
Yehova akuti, nthawi idzafika ndithu pamene zonse za mʼnyumba mwanu ndi zonse zimene makolo anu anazisonkhanitsa mpaka lero lino, zidzatengedwa kupita nazo ku Babuloni. Sipadzatsalapo ndi kanthu kamodzi komwe.
7 And your sons, even your offspring, will they take away to be unsexed servants in the house of the king of Babylon.
Ndipo ena mwa ana anu, obala inu amene adzatengedwanso, ndipo adzawasandutsa adindo ofulidwa mʼnyumba ya mfumu ya ku Babuloni.”
8 Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord which you have said. And he said in his heart, There will be peace and quiet in my days.
Hezekiya anayankha kuti, “Mawu a Yehova amene mwayankhula ndi abwino.” Ponena izi iye ankaganiza kuti, “Padzakhala mtendere ndi chitetezo masiku a moyo wanga onse.”
