Isaiah 39
1 At that time Merodach-Baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent a letter and a present to Hezekiah; for he had heard that he had been sick and had recovered.
Awo mu nnaku ezo Merodakubaladani mutabani wa Baladani kabaka w’e Babulooni, n’aweereza Keezeekiya ebbaluwa n’ekirabo, kubanga yawulira nti yali alwadde naye ng’awonye.
2 And Hezekiah was glad of them, and shewed them the house of his precious things, the silver and the gold, and the spices and the fine oil, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found amongst his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah did not shew them.
Keezeekiya n’abasanyukira, n’abalaga ennyumba ye ey’ebintu bye eby’omuwendo omungi, effeeza ne zaabu, n’ebyakaloosa, n’amafuta ag’omuwendo omungi, n’ennyumba yonna ey’ebyokulwanyisa. Byonna ebyali mu bugagga bwe, tewaali kintu mu nnyumba ye newaakubadde mu bwakabaka bwe bwonna Keezeekiya ky’ataabalaga.
3 Then came the prophet Isaiah to king Hezekiah, and said to him, What said these men? and from whence came they to thee? And Hezekiah said, They came from a far country to me, from Babylon.
Awo Isaaya nnabbi n’ajja eri kabaka Keezeekiya n’amubuuza nti, “Abasajja banno bagamba ki? Era bavudde wa okujja gy’oli?” Keezeekiya n’amuddamu nti, “Bazze wange, bava mu nsi ey’ewala e Babulooni.”
4 And he said, What have they seen in thy house? And Hezekiah said, All that is in my house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewn them.
N’amubuuza nti, “Balabye ki mu nnyumba yo?” Keezeekiya n’addamu nti, “Byonna ebiri mu nnyumba yange babirabye, tewali kintu mu byobugagga bwange kye sibalaze.”
5 And Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Hear the word of Jehovah of hosts:
Awo Isaaya n’agamba Keezeekiya nti, “Wuliriza Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye ky’agamba:
6 Behold, days come when all that is in thy house, and that which thy fathers have laid up until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith Jehovah.
Laba, ennaku zijja, byonna ebiri mu nnyumba yo n’ebyo bajjajjaabo bye baaterekanga ebikyaliwo n’okutuusa leero, lwe biritwalibwa e Babulooni, ne watasigala kintu na kimu, bw’ayogera Mukama.
7 And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, whom thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
N’abamu ku batabani bo, ggwe kennyini b’ozaala balitwalibwa mu lubiri lwa kabaka w’e Babulooni ne balaayibwa.”
8 And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, Good is the word of Jehovah which thou hast spoken. And he said, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.
Awo Keezeekiya n’agamba Isaaya nti, “Ekigambo kya Mukama ky’oŋŋambye kirungi.” Kubanga yalowooza nti, “Kasita emirembe, n’obutebenkevu binaabangawo mu mulembe gwange.”
