< 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.
त्यस बेला बेबिलोनका राजा बलदानका छोरा मरोदकबलदानले हिजकियालाई पत्रहरू र उपहार पठाए । किनभने हिजकिया बिरामी भएका थिए र निको भए भनी उनले सुनेका थिए ।
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.
यी कुराहरूमा हिजकिया प्रशन्‍न भएका थिए । ती दूतहरूलाई आफ्‍ना चाँदी, सुन, मसलाहरू र बहुमूल्य तेलका भण्‍डार, आफ्‍ना हतियारहरूका भण्डार र आफ्‍ना भण्डारमा भेट्टाएका सबै थोक तिनले देखाए । हिजकियाले तिनीहरूलाई नदेखाएका तिनक दरवारमा र राज्यमा कुनै पनि कुरा थिएन ।
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.
त्यसपछि यशैया अगमवक्ता हिजकिया राजाकहाँ आए र तिनलाई सोधे, “यी मानिसहरूले तपाईंलाई के भने? तिनीहरू कहाँबाट आएका थिए?” हिजकियाले भने, “तिनीहरू बेबिलोनको टाढा देशबाट मकहाँ आएका हुन् ।”
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.”
यशैयाले सोधे, “तिनीहरूले तपाईंको दरवार के कुरा हेरेका छन्?” हिजकियाले जवाफ दिए, “तिनीहरूले मेरो दरवारका हरेक कुरा हेरेका छन् । मेरा बहुमूल्य थोकहरूमस तिनीहरूलाई मैले नदेखाएको कुनै पनि थोक छैन ।”
5 Isaiah told Hezekiah, “Listen to what the Lord says:
तब यशैयाले हिजकियालाई भने, “सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको वचन सुन्‍नुहोस्,
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.
‘हेर्, यस्‍ता दिनहरू आउँदैछन् जति बेला तेरा दरवारमा भएका हरेक कुरा, आजको दिनसम्म तेरा पुर्खाहरूले भण्डारण गरेका कुराहरू बेबिलोनमा लगिनेछ । परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ, कुनै कुरा पनि छोडिनेछैन ।
7 Some of your sons, your own offspring, will be taken to serve as eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”
तँबाट जन्मिएका छोराहरू, जसका बाबु तँ आफैं होस्, तिनीहरूले नै ती लानेछन् र बेबिलोनका राजाको दरबारमा तिनीहरू नपुङ्सकहरू बन्‍नेछन् ।’”
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.”
तब हिजकियाले यशैयालाई भने, “तपाईंले भन्‍नुभएको परमप्रभुको वचन असल छ ।” किनकि तिनले सोचे, “मेरो जीवनकालभरि शान्ति र स्थिरता हुनेछ ।”
