< Isaiah 39 >
1 At that time, Merodach Baladan, the son of Baladan, the king of Babylon, sent letters and gifts to Hezekiah. For he had heard that he had fallen ill and had recovered.
Nang panahong yaon si Merodachbaladan na anak ni Baladan, na hari sa Babilonia, ay nagpadala ng mga sulat at isang kaloob kay Ezechias: sapagka't nabalitaan niya na siya'y nagkasakit, at gumaling.
2 And Hezekiah rejoiced over them, and he showed them the storehouses of his aromatic spices, and of the silver and gold, and of the perfumes and precious ointments, and all the repositories for his belongings, and all the things that were found in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah did not show them.
At si Ezechias ay natuwa sa kanila, at ipinakita sa kanila ang bahay ng kaniyang mahalagang bagay, ang pilak, at ang ginto, at ang mga especia, at ang mahalagang langis, at ang buong bahay na kaniyang sakbatan, at lahat na nandoon sa kaniyang mga kayamanan: walang bagay sa kaniyang bahay, o sa buong sakop man niya, na hindi ipinakita ni Ezechias sa kanila.
3 Then Isaiah the prophet entered before king Hezekiah, and he said to him, “What did these men say, and from where did they come to you?” And Hezekiah said, “They came to me from a far away land, from Babylon.”
Nang magkagayo'y dumating si Isaias na propeta sa haring Ezechias, at nagsabi sa kaniya, Anong sinabi ng mga lalaking ito? at saan nanggaling na nagsiparito sila sa iyo? At sinabi ni Ezechias, Sila'y nagsiparito sa akin mula sa malayong lupain, sa Babilonia.
4 And he said, “What did they see in your house?” And Hezekiah said: “They have seen all the things that are in my house. There was nothing that I did not show them among my treasures.”
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi niya, Anong kanilang nakita sa iyong bahay? At sumagot si Ezechias, Lahat ng nangasa aking bahay ay kanilang nakita: walang anomang bagay sa aking mga kayamanan na hindi ko ipinakita sa kanila.
5 And Isaiah said to Hezekiah: “Hear the word of the Lord of hosts:
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Isaias kay Ezechias, Iyong pakinggan ang salita ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo.
6 Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and all that your fathers have stored up, even to this day, will be taken away to Babylon. There will be nothing left behind, says the Lord.
Narito, ang mga kaarawan ay dumarating, na ang lahat na nangasa iyong bahay, at ang mga tinangkilik ng iyong mga magulang hanggang sa kaarawang ito, dadalhin sa Babilonia: walang maiiwan, sabi ng Panginoon.
7 And your children, who will issue from you, whom you will produce, they will be taken away. And they will become eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”
At sa iyong mga anak na magmumula sa iyo, na ipanganganak sa iyo, ay kanilang dadalhin; at sila'y magiging mga bating sa bahay ng hari sa Babilonia.
8 And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of the Lord which he has spoken is good.” And he said, “But let there be peace and truth in my days.”
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Ezechias kay Isaias, Mabuti ang salita ng Panginoon na iyong sinalita. Kaniyang sinabi bukod dito, Sapagka't magkakaroon ng kapayapaan at katotohanan sa aking mga kaarawan.
