Ezayi 39
1 Nan menm epòk sa a, wa peyi Babilòn lan, Mewodak-Baladan, pitit gason Baladan, vin konnen wa Ezekyas te malad epi li refè. Li voye yon lèt ba li ansanm ak yon kado.
At that time, Merodach Baladan, the son of Baladan, the king of Babylon, sent letters and gifts to Hezekiah. For he had heard that he had fallen ill and had recovered.
2 Ezekyas te kontan jès la. Li moutre mesaje wa Babilòn te voye yo tout richès li yo: pyès an ajan, lò, epis, boutèy odè, zam ansanm ak tout lòt bagay li te gen nan depo l' yo. Li fè yo wè dènye bagay li te gen lakay li ak nan tout peyi a.
And Hezekiah rejoiced over them, and he showed them the storehouses of his aromatic spices, and of the silver and gold, and of the perfumes and precious ointments, and all the repositories for his belongings, and all the things that were found in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah did not show them.
3 Lè sa a, pwofèt Ezayi al jwenn wa Ezekyas, li mande l': -Kote mesye sa yo soti? Kisa yo di ou? Ezekyas reponn: -Yo soti nan yon peyi byen lwen, yo soti nan peyi Babilòn.
Then Isaiah the prophet entered before king Hezekiah, and he said to him, “What did these men say, and from where did they come to you?” And Hezekiah said, “They came to me from a far away land, from Babylon.”
4 Ezayi di l' konsa: -Kisa yo wè nan palè a? Ezekyas reponn li: -Yo wè tou sa ki nan palè a. Mwen fè yo wè dènye bagay mwen gen nan depo m' yo.
And he said, “What did they see in your house?” And Hezekiah said: “They have seen all the things that are in my house. There was nothing that I did not show them among my treasures.”
5 Ezayi di wa Ezekyas konsa: -Koute mesaj Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a voye ba ou:
And Isaiah said to Hezekiah: “Hear the word of the Lord of hosts:
6 Yon lè gen pou rive. Lè sa a, y'ap pran dènye bagay ki nan palè ou la, tou sa zansèt ou yo te anpile jouk jounen jòdi a, y'ap pote yo ale nan peyi Babilòn. Yo p'ap kite anyen. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and all that your fathers have stored up, even to this day, will be taken away to Babylon. There will be nothing left behind, says the Lord.
7 Y'ap pran kèk nan pwòp pitit pitit ou yo, y'ap depòte yo, y'ap chatre yo pou yo ka sèvi nèg konfyans nan palè wa Babilòn lan.
And your children, who will issue from you, whom you will produce, they will be taken away. And they will become eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”
8 Ezekyas reponn Ezayi, li di l' konsa: -Mesaj Bondye ba ou pou di m' lan gen tan bon. Men li t'ap di nan kè l': Depi pa gen boulvès, depi pa gen lagè nan peyi a tout tan m'ap viv la!
And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of the Lord which he has spoken is good.” And he said, “But let there be peace and truth in my days.”
