< 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.
Nan menm epòk sa a, wa peyi Babilòn lan, Mewodak-Baladan, pitit gason Baladan, vin konnen wa Ezekyas te malad epi li refè. Li voye yon lèt ba li ansanm ak yon kado.
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.
Ezekyas te kontan jès la. Li moutre mesaje wa Babilòn te voye yo tout richès li yo: pyès an ajan, lò, epis, boutèy odè, zam ansanm ak tout lòt bagay li te gen nan depo l' yo. Li fè yo wè dènye bagay li te gen lakay li ak nan tout peyi a.
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.
Lè sa a, pwofèt Ezayi al jwenn wa Ezekyas, li mande l': -Kote mesye sa yo soti? Kisa yo di ou? Ezekyas reponn: -Yo soti nan yon peyi byen lwen, yo soti nan peyi Babilòn.
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.
Ezayi di l' konsa: -Kisa yo wè nan palè a? Ezekyas reponn li: -Yo wè tou sa ki nan palè a. Mwen fè yo wè dènye bagay mwen gen nan depo m' yo.
5 Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Give ear to the word of the Lord of armies:
Ezayi di wa Ezekyas konsa: -Koute mesaj Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a voye ba ou:
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.
Yon lè gen pou rive. Lè sa a, y'ap pran dènye bagay ki nan palè ou la, tou sa zansèt ou yo te anpile jouk jounen jòdi a, y'ap pote yo ale nan peyi Babilòn. Yo p'ap kite anyen. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
7 And your sons, even your offspring, will they take away to be unsexed servants in the house of the king of Babylon.
Y'ap pran kèk nan pwòp pitit pitit ou yo, y'ap depòte yo, y'ap chatre yo pou yo ka sèvi nèg konfyans nan palè wa Babilòn lan.
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.
Ezekyas reponn Ezayi, li di l' konsa: -Mesaj Bondye ba ou pou di m' lan gen tan bon. Men li t'ap di nan kè l': Depi pa gen boulvès, depi pa gen lagè nan peyi a tout tan m'ap viv la!
