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.
Sa mga oras na iyon si Merodac Baladan anak ni Baladan, hari ng Babylonia, ay nagpadala ng mga liham at regalo kay Hezekias; dahil narinig niya na nagkasakit si Hezekias at gumaling.
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].
Si Hezekias ay nagalak sa mga bagay na ito; ipinakita niya sa mensahero ang kanyang imbakan ng mga mahahalagang bagay - ang pilak, ang ginto, ang pabango at mamahaling langis. ang imbakan ng kanyang mga sandata, at lahat ng matatagpuan sa kaniyang mga imbakan. Wala siyang hindi ipinakita sa kanila, sa kaniyang tahanan, ni sa kaniyang kaharian.
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.”
Pagkatapos lumapit si Isaias ang propeta kay Haring Hezekias at tinanong siya, “Ano ang sinabi sa iyo ng mga taong ito? Saan sila nagmula?” Sumagot si Hezekias, “Naparito sila sa akin mula sa malayong bansa ng 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.”
Tinanong ni Isaias, “Ano ang nakita nila sa tahanan mo?” Sagot ni Hezekias, “Nakita nilang ang lahat sa tahanan ko. Walang mahalagang bagay ang hindi ko ipinakita sa kanila.”
5 Then I said to Hezekiah, “Listen to this message from the Commander of the armies of angels:
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Isaias kay Hezekias, “Makinig ka sa salita ni Yahweh ng mga hukbo:
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.
'Masdan mo, darating ang araw na ang lahat sa iyong kaharian, mga bagay na itinabi ng iyong ninuno hanggang sa mga panahong ito, ay dadalahin sa Babilonia. Walang matitira, sabi ni Yahweh.
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.'”
At ang mga lalaking nagmula sa iyo, na ikaw mismo ang ama - sila ay kukunin palayo, at sila ay magiging mga eunuko sa palasyo ng hari ng 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.”
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Hezekias kay Isaias, “Ang sinabi ni Yahweh na iyong binanggit ay mabuti.” Dahil kanyang inakala, “Magkakaroon ng kapayapaan at tatatag ang aking mga araw.”
