< Ezayi 39 >
1 Nan lè sa a Merodac-Baladan, fis a Baladan nan, wa Babylon nan, te voye lèt ak yon kado bay Ézéchias, paske li te tande ke li te malad, e li te refè.
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 Ézéchias te kontan e te montre yo tout trezò lakay li yo; ajan ak lò a, epis ak lwil presye, tout zam li yo ak tout sa ki te la nan trezò a. Pa t gen anyen lakay li a ni nan tout wayòm li an ke Ézéchias pa t montre yo.
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 Alò, Ésaïe, pwofèt la, te vin kote Wa Ézéchias. Li te di l: “Se kisa mesye sa yo te di, e se kibò yo sòti pou vin kote nou la a?” Ézéchias te di: “Yo vin kote m soti nan yon peyi lwen, Babylone.”
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 Li te di: “Se kisa yo te wè lakay ou a?” Ézéchias te reponn: “Yo te wè tout sa ki lakay mwen an. Nanpwen anyen pami trezò mwen yo ke mwen pa t montre 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 Konsa, Ésaïe te di a Ézéchias: “Tande pawòl SENYÈ dèzame yo,
And Isaiah said to Hezekiah: “Hear the word of the Lord of hosts:
6 ‘Gade byen, jou yo ap vini lè tout sa ki lakay ou ak tout sa ke papa ou yo te mete nan depo, jis rive nan jodi a, va pote ale Babylone. Anyen p ap rete’, pale SENYÈ a.
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 ‘Va gen kèk nan fis ou yo ki sòti nan ou menm, ke ou va fè. Yo va pote ale, e yo va vin fè ofisye nan palè a wa Babylon nan.’”
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 Ézéchias te di a Ésaïe: “Pawòl SENYÈ ke ou te pale a, bon.” Paske li te panse: “Ap gen lapè ak verite nan jou mwen yo.”
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.”
