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 had heard that he had been sick and was recovered.

‌ʻI he kuonga ko ia naʻe ʻave ʻe Melotaki-Palatani ko e foha ʻo Palatani, ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ʻae ngaahi tohi mo e meʻa foaki kia Hesekaia: he kuo ne fanongo naʻe mahaki ia, pea kuo moʻui.

2 And Hezekiah was delighted with them, and showed the embassy his treasure-house, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil, and his whole armory, and all that was found in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, which Hezekiah did not show them.

Pea naʻe fiefia ai ʻa Hesekaia, pea naʻa ne fakahā ʻae fale ʻo ʻene ngaahi meʻa mahuʻinga, ʻae siliva, mo e koula, mo e ngaahi meʻa namu kakala, mo e lolo mahuʻinga, mo e fale kotoa ʻo ʻene mahafutau, pea mo ia kotoa pē naʻe ʻilo ʻi hono ngaahi tukunga koloa: naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ʻi hono fale, pe ʻi hono puleʻanga kotoa pē, naʻe taʻefakahā ʻe Hesekaia kiate kinautolu.

3 Then came Isaiah the prophet to King Hezekiah, and said to him, What did these men say, and whence did they come to thee? And Hezekiah said, They came to me from a distant country, from Babylon.

Pea naʻe toki haʻu ʻa ʻIsaia ko e palōfita ki he tuʻi ko Hesekaia, pea pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻae lea ʻae kau tangata ni? Pea naʻa nau haʻu mei fē kiate koe?” Pea pehē ʻe Hesekaia, “Kuo nau haʻu mei he fonua mamaʻo kiate au, ʻio, mei Papilone.

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 in my treasures which I have not shown them.

Pea pehē ʻe ia, Ko e hā kuo nau mamata ai ʻi ho fale? Pea pehēange ʻe Hesekaia, “Ko ia kotoa pē ʻi hoku fale kuo nau mamata ki ai: ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻi heʻeku koloa kuo u taʻefakahā kiate kinautolu.”

5 Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, hear the word of Jehovah of hosts,

Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe ʻIsaia kia Hesekaia, “Fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau:

6 Behold, the days shall come, when all that is in thy house, and that thy fathers have treasured up to this day, shall be carried away to Babylon. Nothing shall be left, saith Jehovah.

Vakai, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻE haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ʻe fetuku ki Papilone ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ho fale, pea mo ia kuo tānaki ʻe hoʻo ngaahi tamai ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni: ʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe toe.

7 And of thy sons, which shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away, and they shall he eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.

Pea ko ho ngaahi foha ʻe tupu ʻiate koe, ʻaia te ke fakatupu, te nau ʻave; pea te nau hoko ko e kau talifekau ʻi he fale fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Papilone.”

8 Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of Jehovah, which thou hast spoken. For, said he, there shall be peace and security in my days.

Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe Hesekaia kia ʻIsaia, “ʻOku lelei ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaia kuo ke lea ʻaki.” Pea naʻa ne toe pehē, “Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻi hoku ngaahi ʻaho ʻoʻoku ʻae melino mo e moʻoni.”
