Isaia 39

1 I A manawa, hoouka mai la o Merodaka-Baladana, ke keiki a Baladana, ke alii o Babulona, i mau palapala, a i makana hoi, na Hezekia, no ka mea, ua lohe oia i kona mai ana, a ua ola.

At the same time Merodach-baladan, son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah, because he had heard that Hezekiah was sick and had recovered.

2 Olioli iho la o Hezekia ia lakou, a hoike aku la ia lakou i ka hale o kona waiwai, i ke kala, a me ke gula, a me na mea ala, a me ka mea hamo maikai, a me ka hale a pau o kona mea kaua, a me na mea a pau i loaa maloko o kona waiwai: aohe hoi mea maloko o kona hale, aole hoi ma kona aupuni a pau a Hezekia i hoike ole ai ia lakou.

Hezekiah happily welcomed the visitors and showed them what he had in his treasury—all the silver, the gold, the spices, and the expensive oils. He also showed them his whole armory and all that he had in his storehouses. In fact there wasn't anything in his palace or in the whole of his kingdom that Hezekiah didn't show them.

3 Alaila, hele mai la o Isaia, ke kaula i ke alii, ia Hezekia, i mai la ia ia, Heaha ka keia poe kanaka i olelo mai ai? Maihea mai hoi lakou i hele mai ai iou la? I aku la o Hezekia, Mai ka aina mamao aku lakou i hele mai ai io'u nei, mai Babulona mai hoi.

Then the prophet Isaiah went to King Hezekiah and asked him, “Where did those men come from, and what did they tell you?” “They came to see me from a long way away, from Babylon,” Hezekiah replied.

4 Ninau mai la no hoi ia, Heaha ka lakou i ike ai iloko o kou hale? I aku la o Hezekia, O na mea a pau iloko o ko'u hale, ua ike no lakou. Aohe mea iloko o ko'u waiwai i hoike ole ia ia lakou e au.

“What did they see in your palace?” Isaiah asked. “They saw everything in my palace,” replied Hezekiah. “There wasn't anything in all my storehouses I didn't show them.”

5 Alaila, i mai la o Isaia ia Hezekia, E hoolohe mai oe i ka olelo a Iehova o na kaua:

Isaiah told Hezekiah, “Listen to what the Lord says:

6 Aia hoi, e hiki mai ana na la e laweia'ku ai i Babulona na mea a pau iloko o kou hale, a me na mea a kou mau kupuna i hoahu ai, a hiki mai i keia la; aole e koe kekahi mea, wahi a Iehova.

You can be certain that the time is coming when everything in your palace, and everything that your forefathers have saved up until now, will be taken away to Babylon. There will be nothing left, says the Lord.

7 A e lawe aku no lakou i kekahi o na keiki au, na mea i puka mai loko mai ou, na mea hoi au e hoohanau ai, a e lilo lakou i mea poaia ma ka halealii o ke alii o Babulona.

Some of your sons, your own offspring, will be taken to serve as eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”

8 I aku la o Hezekia ia Isaia, Maikai no ka olelo a Iehova, au e olelo mai nei. I aku la hoi ia, E oia mau ana no ke kuapapanui a me ka pono i ko'u mau la.

Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The message from the Lord that you have told me is fine.” For he said to himself, “There'll definitely be peace and safety in my lifetime.”
