Isaiah 39
1 At that time, Merodach-Baladan, son of Baladan, king of Babylon, has sent letters and a present to Hezekiah when he hears that he has been sick and has become strong.
Katika mda ule Merodaki mtoto wa Baladani, mfalme wa Babeli, alituma zawadi na barua kwa Hezekia; maana alisikia Hezekia alikuwa anaumwa na amepona.
2 And Hezekiah rejoices over them, and shows them the house of his spices, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the good ointment, and all the house of his vessels, and all that has been found in his treasures; there has not been a thing in his house, and in all his dominion, that Hezekiah has not showed them.
Hezekia alifurahishwa na hivi vitu; alimuonyesha mjumbe nyumba ya ghala la vitu vya thamani- vitu kama fedha, dhahabu, viungo, na mafuta ya thamani, ghala la kuwekea silaha zake, na vitu vyote vilivyopatikana kwenye stoo yake. Hapakuwa na kitu katika nyumba yake, wala ufalme wake wote, Hezekia hakuwaonyesha wao.
3 And Isaiah the prophet comes to King Hezekiah and says to him, “What did these men say? And from where do they come to you?” And Hezekiah says, “They have come to me from a far-off land—from Babylon.”
Basi Isaya nabii alikuja kwa mfalme Hezekia na kumuuliza, ''Je watu hawa wamekuambia nini? wametoka wapi?, ''Wamekuja kwangu kutoka mbali nchi ya Babeli.''
4 And he says, “What did they see in your house?” And Hezekiah says, “They saw all that [is] in my house; there has not been a thing that I have not showed them among my treasures.”
Isaya akamuuliza je ni vitu gani walivyoviona katika nyumba yako? Hezekia akajibu, ''Wameona kila kitu katika nyumba nyangu. Hakuna kitu miongoni mwa vitu vyangu vya thamani ambavyo sijawaonyesha.''
5 And Isaiah says to Hezekiah, “Hear a word of YHWH of Hosts:
Basi Isaya akamwambia Hezekia, ''Sikiliza neno la Yahwe wa majeshi:
6 Behold, days are coming, and all that [is] in your house, and that your fathers have treasured up until this day, has been carried to Babylon; there is not a thing left, said YHWH;
'Tazama siku inakaribia kuja pale kila kitu katika nyumba yako, vitu ambavyo mababu zako wamevihifadhi mbali mpaka mda huu wa sasa Vitapelekwa Babeli. Hakuna kitakachobakizwa, asema Yahwe.
7 and of your sons who come forth from you, whom you beget, they take, and they have been eunuchs in a palace of the king of Babylon.”
Na watoto watazaliwa kutoka kwako, ambao wewe mwenyewe utawazaa- watachukuliwa mbali, na watakuwa matoashi katika jumba la mfalme wa Babeli.''
8 And Hezekiah says to Isaiah, “The word of YHWH that you have spoken [is] good”; and he says, “Because there is peace and truth in my days.”
Basi Hezekia akamwambia Isaya, ''Neno la Yahwe alilolizunumza ni zuri.'' Maana alifikiria, ''Patakuwa na amani na utulivu katika siku zangu.''
