< 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.
In pacl sac pacna Merodach Baladan, tokosra lun acn Babylonia su wen natul Baladan, el lohng lah Tokosra Hezekiah el mas, na el supwala leta se wi mwe kite se nu sel.
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.
Hezekiah el paing mwet tutafpo inge nu in lohm sel, ac sang elos in liye lupan mwe kasrup lal inge: silver ac gold lal, mwe akyuye mwe mongo ac ono keng lal, ac kufwen mwe mweun nukewa lal. Wangin kutena ma ke nien filma lal, ku kutena acn in tokosrai lal, su el tia sang elos in liye.
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.
Tukun ma inge, mwet palu Isaiah el som nu yorol Tokosra Hezekiah ac siyuk, “Mwet inge tuku ya me, ac mea elos fahk nu sum ah?” Hezekiah el topuk, “Elos tuku Babylonia me, sie facl su oan yen loessula.”
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.”
“Mea elos liye inkul sin tokosra?” “Elos liye ma nukewa. Wangin kutena ma in nien filma su nga tia sang elos liye.”
5 Isaiah told Hezekiah, “Listen to what the Lord says:
Na Isaiah el fahk nu sel tokosra, “LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk mu
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.
pacl se ac fah tuku ke ma nukewa inkul sum uh, ac ma nukewa ma mwet matu lom elos tuh elosak nwe misenge, ac fah utukla nu Babylonia. Wangin ma ac fah oan.
7 Some of your sons, your own offspring, will be taken to serve as eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”
Kutu sin tulik na pwaye ke fwilin tulik nutum ac fah utukla in orekla mwet eunuch tuh elos in kulansap ke inkul sin tokosra lun acn Babylonia.”
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.”
Tokosra Hezekiah el eis mu kalmen ma se inge pa ac fah oasr misla ac wangin lokoalok wacl. Ouinge el fahk, “Wona kas in palu ma kom fahk nu sik sin LEUM GOD inge.”
