< Esias 39 >
1 At that time Marodach Baladan, the son of Baladan, the king of Babylonia, sent letters and ambassadors and gifts to Ezekias: for he had heard that he had been sick [even] to death, and was recovered.
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 Ezekias was glad of their coming, and he showed them the house of [his] spices, and of silver, and gold, and myrrh, and incense, and ointment, and all the houses of his treasures, and all that he had in his stores: and there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, which Ezekias did not show.
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 And Esaias the prophet came to king Ezekias, and said to him, What say these men? and whence came they to you? and Ezekias said, They are come to me from a land afar off, 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 Esaias said, What have they seen in your house? and Ezekias said, They have seen everything in my house; and there is nothing in my house which they have not seen: yes, also the [possessions] in my treasuries.
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 And Esaias said to him, Hear the word of the Lord of hosts:
Pamenepo Yesaya anati kwa Hezekiya, “Imvani mawu a Yehova Wamphamvuzonse:
6 Behold, the days come, when they shall take all the [things that are] in your house, and all that your fathers have gathered until this day, shall go to Babylon; and they shall not leave anything at all: and God has said,
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 that they shall take also of your children whom you shall beget; and they shall make them eunuchs in the house of the king of the Babylonians.
Ndipo ena mwa ana anu, obala inu amene adzatengedwanso, ndipo adzawasandutsa adindo ofulidwa mʼnyumba ya mfumu ya ku Babuloni.”
8 And Ezekias said to Esaias, Good is the word of the Lord, which he has spoken: let there, I pray, be peace and righteousness 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.”
