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 the same time, Merodach Baladan, the sonne of Baladan, King of Babel, sent letters, and a present to Hezekiah: for he had heard that he had bene sicke, and was recouered.

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 Hezekiah was glad of them, and shewed them the house of the treasures, the siluer, and the golde, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was founde in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his kingdome that Hezekiah 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 came Isaiah the Prophet vnto King Hezekiah, and said vnto him, What said these men? and from whence came they to thee? And Hezekiah saide, They are come from a farre countrey vnto me, from Babel.

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.”

Then saide he, What haue they seene in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in mine house haue they seene: there is nothing among my treasures, that I haue not shewed them.

5 Tete Yesaya gblɔ na Hezekia be, “Ɖo to nya si Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔ.

And Isaiah saide to Hezekiah, Heare the worde of the Lord of hostes,

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.

Beholde, the dayes come, that all that is in thine house, and which thy fathers haue layed vp in store vntill this day, shall be caried to Babel: nothing shall be left, sayeth 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 sonnes, that shall proceede out of thee, and which thou shalt beget, shall they take away, and they shall be eunuches in the palace of the King of Babel.

8 Hezekia ɖo eŋu be, “Yehowa ƒe nya siwo nègblɔ la nyo,” elabena esusu be, “Ŋutifafa kple dedinɔnɔ anɔ yeƒe agbemeŋkekewo me.”

Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, The worde of the Lord is good, which thou hast spoken: and he saide, Yet let there be peace, and trueth in my dayes.
