Isaiah 39
1 At the same time Merodach-baladan, son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah, because he had heard that Hezekiah was sick and had recovered.
Nan lè sa a Merodac-Baladan, fis a Baladan nan, wa Babylon nan, te voye lèt ak yon kado bay Ézéchias, paske li te tande ke li te malad, e li te refè.
2 Hezekiah happily welcomed the visitors and showed them what he had in his treasury—all the silver, the gold, the spices, and the expensive oils. He also showed them his whole armory and all that he had in his storehouses. In fact there wasn't anything in his palace or in the whole of his kingdom that Hezekiah didn't show them.
Ézéchias te kontan e te montre yo tout trezò lakay li yo; ajan ak lò a, epis ak lwil presye, tout zam li yo ak tout sa ki te la nan trezò a. Pa t gen anyen lakay li a ni nan tout wayòm li an ke Ézéchias pa t montre yo.
3 Then the prophet Isaiah went to King Hezekiah and asked him, “Where did those men come from, and what did they tell you?” “They came to see me from a long way away, from Babylon,” Hezekiah replied.
Alò, Ésaïe, pwofèt la, te vin kote Wa Ézéchias. Li te di l: “Se kisa mesye sa yo te di, e se kibò yo sòti pou vin kote nou la a?” Ézéchias te di: “Yo vin kote m soti nan yon peyi lwen, Babylone.”
4 “What did they see in your palace?” Isaiah asked. “They saw everything in my palace,” replied Hezekiah. “There wasn't anything in all my storehouses I didn't show them.”
Li te di: “Se kisa yo te wè lakay ou a?” Ézéchias te reponn: “Yo te wè tout sa ki lakay mwen an. Nanpwen anyen pami trezò mwen yo ke mwen pa t montre yo.”
5 Isaiah told Hezekiah, “Listen to what the Lord says:
Konsa, Ésaïe te di a Ézéchias: “Tande pawòl SENYÈ dèzame yo,
6 You can be certain that the time is coming when everything in your palace, and everything that your forefathers have saved up until now, will be taken away to Babylon. There will be nothing left, says the Lord.
‘Gade byen, jou yo ap vini lè tout sa ki lakay ou ak tout sa ke papa ou yo te mete nan depo, jis rive nan jodi a, va pote ale Babylone. Anyen p ap rete’, pale SENYÈ a.
7 Some of your sons, your own offspring, will be taken to serve as eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”
‘Va gen kèk nan fis ou yo ki sòti nan ou menm, ke ou va fè. Yo va pote ale, e yo va vin fè ofisye nan palè a wa Babylon nan.’”
8 Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The message from the Lord that you have told me is fine.” For he said to himself, “There'll definitely be peace and safety in my lifetime.”
Ézéchias te di a Ésaïe: “Pawòl SENYÈ ke ou te pale a, bon.” Paske li te panse: “Ap gen lapè ak verite nan jou mwen yo.”
