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, Marduk-Baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah; for he heard that he had been sick, and had 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.

Hezekiah was pleased with them, and showed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, the spices, and the precious oil, and all the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah did not show them.

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 Isaiah the prophet came to king Hezekiah, and asked him, "What did these men say? Where did they come from to you?" Hezekiah said, "They have come from a country far from me, even 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.”

Then he asked, "What have they seen in your house?" Hezekiah answered, "They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them."

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

Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, "Hear the word of Jehovah 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.

'Look, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have stored up until this day, will be carried to Babylon. Nothing will be left,' says Jehovah.

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.”

'They will take away your descendants who will issue from you, whom you shall father, and they will be eunuchs in the king of Babylon's palace.'"

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

Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "Jehovah's word which you have spoken is good." He said moreover, "For there will be peace and truth in my days."
