< Isaiah 39 >

1 Soon after that, Baladan’s son Merodach-Baladan, the King of Babylon, heard a report that Hezekiah had been very sick but that he had recovered. So he wrote some notes and gave them to some messengers to take to Hezekiah, along with a gift.
Niadtong panahona si Merodach-baladan ang anak nga lalake ni Baladan, hari sa Babilonia, mipadala ug mga sulat ug gasa kang Ezechias; kay siya nakadungog nga siya nagmasakiton ug naayo na.
2 [When the messengers arrived], Hezekiah welcomed them gladly. [Then] he showed them everything that was in his (treasure houses/places where very valuable things were kept)—the silver, the gold, the spices, and the nice-smelling [olive] oil. He also took them to see the place where they kept their soldiers’ weapons, and he showed them the other valuable things that were in the storehouses. Hezekiah showed them everything [LIT] that was in the palace or in other places [HYP].
Ug si Ezechias nahimuot kanila, ug gipakita kanila ang balay sa iyang mga mahal nga butang, ang salapi, ug ang bulawan, ug ang mga pahumot, ug ang lana nga mahal, ug ang tibook balay sa iyang mga hinagiban, ug ang tanan nga makita sa iyang mga bahandi: walay bisan unsa sa iyang balay, ni sa tanan niya nga ginsakpan, nga wala ipakita ni Ezechias kanila.
3 Then I went to King Hezekiah and asked him, “Where did those men come from, and what did they want?” He replied, “They came from the far away land of Babylon.”
Unya mianha si Isaias ang manalagna kang hari Ezechias, ug miingon kaniya: Unsay giingon niining mga tawohana? ug diin gikan sila nga ming-anhi kanimo? Ug si Ezechias miingon: Sila ming-anhi kanako gikan sa usa ka halayo nga yuta, nga mao ang Babilonia.
4 I asked him, “What did they see in your palace?” Hezekiah replied, “They saw everything. I showed them absolutely everything that I own—all my valuable things.”
Ug unya miingon siya: Unsa bay ilang hingkit-an sa imong balay? Ug si Ezechias mitubag: Ang tanan nga ania sa akong balay maoy ilang hingkit-an: walay bisan unsa sa akong mga bahandi nga wala nako ikapakita kanila.
5 Then I said to Hezekiah, “Listen to this message from the Commander of the armies of angels:
Unya miingon si Isaias kang Ezechias: Pamatia ang pulong ni Jehova sa mga panon:
6 'There will be a time when everything in your palace, all the valuable things that your ancestors stored there up until the present time, will be carried away to Babylon. Yahweh says that there will be nothing left.
Ania karon, ang mga adlaw mangabut, nga kanang tanan nga anaa sa imong balay, ug kanang gipanigum sa imong mga ginikanan hangtud niining adlawa, pagadad-on ngadto sa Babilonia: walay mahabilin, nagaingon si Jehova.
7 Furthermore, some of your sons will be forced to go to Babylon. They will be castrated in order that they can become servants in the palace of the king of Babylon.'”
Ug sa imong mga anak nga manggula gikan kanimo, nga imong igaanak, ilang pagakuhaon: ug sila mangahimong eunuco sa palacio sa hari sa Babilonia.
8 Then Hezekiah replied to me, “That message from Yahweh that you have given to me is good.” He said that because he was thinking, “Even if that happens, there will be peace, and people in this country will be safe during the time that I am alive.”
Unya miingon si Ezechias kang Isaias: Maayo ang pulong ni Jehova nga imong gisulti. Siya midugang pa gayud sa pag-ingon: Kay moabut ang pakigdait ug kamatuoran sa akong mga adlaw.
