Yesaya 39
1 Le ɣe ma ɣi la, Marduk Baladan, si nye Babilonia fia Baladan ƒe vi la dɔ amewo ɖa be woatsɔ agbalẽ kple nunana ayi na Hezekia elabena ese eƒe dɔdzedze kple hayahaya.
At that time Merodach Baladan, the son of Baladan king of Babylon, sent letters and presents to Ezechias: for he had heard that he had been sick and was recovered.
2 Hezekia xɔ ame dɔdɔawo kple dzidzɔ, eye wòtsɔ nu siwo katã le eƒe nudzraɖoƒe la fia wo; esiwo nye klosalo, sika, atike ʋeʋĩwo, ami tɔxɛwo, aʋawɔnu siwo katã le esi kple nu sia nu si le eƒe kesinɔnuwo dzraɖoƒe. Naneke mele fiasã alo fiaɖuƒe blibo la me si Hezekia mefia wo o.
And Ezechias rejoiced at their coming, and he shewed them the storehouses of his aromatical spices, and of the silver, and of the gold, and of the sweet odours, and of the precious ointment, and all the storehouses of his furniture, and all things that were found in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion that Ezechias shewed them not.
3 Emegbe la, Nyagblɔɖila Yesaya yi ɖe Fia Hezekia gbɔ ɖabiae be, “Nya ka ame siawo gblɔ, eye afi ka wotso?” Hezekia ɖo eŋu be, “Wotso anyigba didi aɖe dzi, tso keke Babilonia.”
Then Isaias the prophet came to king Ezechias, and said to him: What said these men, and from whence came they to thee? And Ezechias said: From a far country they came to me, from Babylon.
4 Nyagblɔɖila la biae be, “Nu ka wokpɔ le wò fiasã me?” Hezekia ɖo eŋu be, “Wokpɔ nu sia nu si le nye fiasã la me. Naneke mele nye kesinɔnuwo dome si nyemefia wo o.”
And he said: What saw they in thy house? And Ezechias said: All things that are in my house have they seen, there was not any thing which I have not shewn them in my treasures.
5 Tete Yesaya gblɔ na Hezekia be, “Ɖo to nya si Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔ.
And Isaias said to Ezechias: Rear the word of the Lord of hosts.
6 Ŋkekewo li gbɔna, esiwo me nu sia nu si le wò fiasã me, kpe ɖe nu siwo katã fofowòwo dzra ɖo ŋu la, woalɔ wo katã ayi ɖe Babilonia. Naneke masusɔ o. Yehowae gblɔe.
Behold the days shall come, that all that is in thy house, and that thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried away into Babylon: there shall not any thing be left, saith the Lord.
7 Wò dzidzimevi aɖewo kple vi siwo wodzi na wò ŋutɔ hã, woakplɔ wo adzoe, eye woazu ŋutsu tata siwo anye aƒedzikpɔlawo le Babilonia fia ƒe fiasã me.”
And of thy children, that shall issue from thee, whom thou shalt beget, they shall take away, and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
8 Hezekia ɖo eŋu be, “Yehowa ƒe nya siwo nègblɔ la nyo,” elabena esusu be, “Ŋutifafa kple dedinɔnɔ anɔ yeƒe agbemeŋkekewo me.”
And Ezechias said to Isaias: The word of the Lord, which he hath spoken, is good. And he said: Only let peace and truth be in my days.
