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.
Hatnae tueng navah, Babilon siangpahrang, Baladan capa Merodakbaladan ni Hezekiah siangpahrang teh damhoehnae koehoi bout a dam toe tie a thai navah, ca hoi poehno a sin sak teh laicei a patoun.
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].
Hezekiah teh a lunghawi poung dawkvah, amae sui kuemnae hoi sui, ngun, hmuitui, aphu kaawm e satui, senehmaica hmouknae, hoi hnopai hmouknae dawk kaawm e hno pueng hote laiceinaw hah a patue. Ama e imthung e kaawm e hoi a ram thung e kaawm e naw hah a patue hoeh e awm hoeh.
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.”
Hat toteh, profet Isaiah ni, Hezekiah siangpahrang koe a cei teh, hete taminaw ni bangmaw a kâhei awh. Ahnimanaw heh nâhoi maw nang koe a tho awh telah a pacei navah, Hezekiah siangpahrang ni, ahnimouh teh, ahlanae koe e ram Babilon hoi a tho awh, telah ati.
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.”
Hathnukkhu, nange im thung e hno bangmaw ahnimouh ni a hmu awh toung, telah bout a pacei navah, im thung e hno pueng koung a hmu awh toe. Hno hmouknae thung hoi ka patue hoeh e hno banghai awm hoeh, bout atipouh.
5 Then I said to Hezekiah, “Listen to this message from the Commander of the armies of angels:
Hat toteh, Isaiah ni, ransahu BAWIPA e lawk hah thai haw.
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.
Nange im thung kaawm e puenghoi, sahnin ditouh mintoenaw ni a hmouk awh e pueng hah, Babilon kho lah a phu awh nahane hnin teh ka phat han. Bang hno ca boehai cawi mahoeh. BAWIPA ni ati.
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.'”
Nang ni na khe e na canaw hoi na catounnaw hai koung hrawi awh vaiteh, ahnimouh teh, Babilon siangpahrang hanlah tuenlanaw lah ao awh han, telah Hezekiah koe a dei pouh.
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.”
Hezekiah ni, atangcalah kai dawk lungmawngnae hoi roumnae ao han doeh telah Isaiah koe atipouh navah, Isaiah ni, na dei e BAWIPA e lawk teh ahawi doeh telah atipouh.
