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.
Ngalesosikhathi uMerodakhi-Bhaladani indodana kaBhaladani inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, wathumela izincwadi lesipho kuHezekhiya, ngoba wayezwile ngokugula kwakhe lokusila kwakhe.
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.
UHezekhiya wazamukela izithunywa ngokuthaba, wazitshengisa okwakusendlini yakhe yokugcinela impahla, isiliva, igolide, iziyoliso, amafutha acengekileyo, izikhali zakhe zonke, lakho konke okwakukhona enothweni yakhe. Akulalutho esigodlweni sakhe loba embusweni wakhe wonke angazitshengisanga khona.
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.
Ngakho u-Isaya umphrofethi waya kuHezekhiya inkosi wambuza wathi, “Atheni amadoda lawana, njalo avela ngaphi?” UHezekhiya waphendula wathi, “Avela elizweni elikhatshana. Aze kimi evela eBhabhiloni.”
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.
Umphrofethi wabuza wathi, “Aboneni esigodlweni sakho?” UHezekhiya wathi, “Abone konke okusesigodlweni sami. Akulalutho phakathi kwempahla zami eziligugu engingawatshengisanga khona.”
5 Alaila, i mai la o Isaia ia Hezekia, E hoolohe mai oe i ka olelo a Iehova o na kaua:
Ngakho u-Isaya wasesithi kuHezekhiya, “Zwana ilizwi likaThixo uSomandla lithi:
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.
Isikhathi sizafika sibili lapho konke okusesigodlweni sakho lakho konke oyihlo abakugcinayo kusiyafika lolosuku, kuzathwalelwa eBhabhiloni. Akuyikusala lutho, kutsho uThixo.
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.
Njalo abanye besizukulwane sakho, abenyama legazi lakho, abazazalwa nguwe, bazathathwa bayekuba ngabathenwa esigodlweni senkosi yaseBhabhiloni.”
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.
UHezekhiya waphendula wathi, “Ilizwi likaThixo olikhulumileyo lilungile.” Ngoba wayenakana esithi, “Kuzakuba lokuthula lokuvikeleka ekuphileni kwami.”
