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 heard that he had been sick, and was recovered.

I taua wa ka tukua mai he pukapuka me tetahi hakari ki a Hetekia e Meroraka Pararana, tama a Pararana kingi o Papurona; i rongo hoki i te mate ia a kua ora.

2 And Hezekiah was glad of them, and showed them his treasure-house, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures; there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah showed them not.

A koa tonu a Hetekia ki a ratou, whakakitea ana e ia ki a ratou te whare o ana mea papai, te hiriwa, te koura, nga kinaki kakara, te hinu pai, me te whare katoa o ana mea mo te whawhai, me nga mea katoa i rokohanga ki roto ki ona taonga; kahore t etahi mea o tona whare, o tona kingitanga katoa, i kore te whakakitea e Hetekia ki a ratou.

3 Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him: 'What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee?' And Hezekiah said: 'They are come from a far country unto me, even from Babylon.'

Katahi a Ihaia poropiti ka haere ki a Kingi Hetekia, ka mea ki a ia, I pehea mai enei tangata? i haere mai hoki ratou i hea ki a koe? Ano ra ko Hetekia, I haere mai ratou ki ahau, i te whenua hoi, i Papurona.

4 Then said he: 'What have they seen in thy house?' And Hezekiah answered: 'All that is in my house have they seen; there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.'

Ano ra ko tera, Ko ehea mea i kitea e ratou i roto i tou whare? Ka mea a Hetekia, Kua kitea e ratou nga mea katoa i toku whare. Kahore tetahi mea i roto i oku taonga i kore te whakakitea e ahau ki a ratou.

5 Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah: 'Hear the word of the LORD of hosts:

Na ka mea a Ihaia ki a Hetekia, Whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa o nga mano.

6 Behold, the days come, that all that is in thy house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon; nothing shall be left, saith the LORD.

Nana, kei te haere mai nga ra e kawea ai ki Papurona nga mea katoa o tou whare, me nga mea kua rongoatia nei e ou matua a taea noatia tenei ra; e kore tetahi mea e mahue, e ai ta Ihowa.

7 And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, whom thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be officers in the palace of the king of Babylon.'

Ka tangohia ano e ratou etahi o au tama e puta mai i a koe, e whanau nei mau; a hei unaka ratou ki te whare o te kingi o Papurona.

8 Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah: 'Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken.' He said moreover: 'If but there shall be peace and truth in my days.'

Ano ra ko Hetekia ki a Ihaia, Pai tonu te kupu a Ihowa i korerotia na e koe. I mea hoki ia, Ka mau hoki te rongo me te pono i oku ra.
