< Isaia 39 >
1 Na rĩrĩ, ihinda rĩu Merodaki-Baladani mũrũ wa Baladani mũthamaki wa Babuloni nĩatũmĩire Hezekia marũa na kĩheo, tondũ nĩaiguĩte ũhoro wa ndwari yake na kũhona gwake.
At that time Merodach-baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he heard that he had been sick, and was recovered.
2 Hezekia akĩamũkĩra andũ arĩa maatũmĩtwo na gĩkeno, na akĩmoonia indo ciothe iria aigĩte makũmbĩ make; akĩmoonia betha, na thahabu na mahuti marĩa manungi wega na maguta marĩa mega mũno, na indo ciake ciothe cia mbaara na indo ciothe iria ciarĩ igĩĩna-inĩ ciake. Gũtirĩ kĩndũ o na kĩmwe thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya ũthamaki kana kĩarĩ ũthamaki-inĩ wake wothe Hezekia ataamoonirie.
And Hezekiah was glad of them, and showed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and 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 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũnabii Isaia agĩthiĩ kũrĩ Mũthamaki Hezekia, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Andũ acio moiga atĩa, na mekuumĩte kũ?” Nake Hezekia agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Moimĩte bũrũri wa kũraya; megũkĩte kuuma bũrũri wa Babuloni.”
Then Isaiah the prophet came to king Hezekiah, and said to him, What did these men say? And from where did they come to thee? And Hezekiah said, They have come from a far country to me, even from Babylon.
4 Nake mũnabii akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ moonire nyũmba-inĩ yaku ya ũthamaki.” Nake Hezekia agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Moonire indo ciothe cia nyũmba yakwa ya ũthamaki. Gũtirĩ kĩndũ o na kĩmwe kĩrĩ igĩĩna-inĩ ciakwa itanamoonia.”
Then he said, What have they seen in thy house? And Hezekiah answered, They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.
5 Nake Isaia akĩĩra Hezekia atĩrĩ, “Ta igua kiugo kĩa Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe:
Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Hear the word of Jehovah of hosts:
6 Ti-itherũ ihinda nĩrĩgakinya, rĩrĩa indo ciothe iria irĩ thĩinĩ wa nyũmba yaku ya ũthamaki, na iria ciothe maithe maku matũire maigĩte nginya ũmũthĩ, igaakuuo itwarwo Babuloni. Gũtirĩ o na kĩmwe gĩgaatigara. Ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
Behold, the days are coming, when all that is in thy house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon. Nothing shall be left, says Jehovah.
7 Na andũ amwe a rũciaro rwaku, o arĩa moimĩte mũthiimo waku, o arĩa wee ũgaaciara, nĩmagathaamio, na nĩmakaahakũrwo nĩguo matungatage nyũmba-inĩ ya mũthamaki wa Babuloni.”
And of thy sons who shall issue from thee, whom thou shall beget, they shall take away, and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
8 Nake Hezekia agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Kiugo kĩa Jehova kĩrĩa waria nĩ kĩega,” tondũ eeciiririe atĩrĩ, “Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ngũtũũra muoyo nĩgũgũkorwo kũrĩ na thayũ na ũgitĩri.”
Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, The word of Jehovah which thou have spoken is good. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.
