Aizaia 39

1 Hanki ana knafina Babiloni kini ne' Baladani nemofo Merodak-Baladani'a Hezekaia'ma krima erino mase'nefinti'ma kanamre'ne hu'zama haza nanekema nentahino'a, mago avonkreno nanekema eri'za vu'za e'za hu vahe nezamino, muse zanena antentege'za eri'za Hesekaiantega vu'naze.

Soon after that, Baladan’s son Merodach-Baladan, the King of Babylon, heard a report that Hezekiah had been very sick but that he had recovered. So he wrote some notes and gave them to some messengers to take to Hezekiah, along with a gift.

2 Hesekaia'a ana vahe'ma azageno'a, muse nehuno zamazeri frufra huteno zagoma nentea nonki, silvane goline mnanentake zantamine knare'nare masavene ha' zama nentea none, ana maka fenozama nentea nontamina zamaveri huvagare'ne. Hagi Hesekaia'ma kegava hu'nea mopa'afima me'nea zantamine, kinimofo nompima me'nea zantaminena magore huno otreno ana maka zamaveri huvagare'ne.

[When the messengers arrived], Hezekiah welcomed them gladly. [Then] he showed them everything that was in his (treasure houses/places where very valuable things were kept)—the silver, the gold, the spices, and the nice-smelling [olive] oil. He also took them to see the place where they kept their soldiers’ weapons, and he showed them the other valuable things that were in the storehouses. Hezekiah showed them everything [LIT] that was in the palace or in other places [HYP].

3 Anante kasnampa ne' Aisaia'a, kini ne' Hesekaiante eno amanage huno antahige'ne, Amama ete'zama vaza vahera igati ete'za, na'ane hu'za eme hute'za vaze. Anage higeno Hesekaia'a kenona'a huno, afete mopa Babiloni moparegati e'naze.

Then I went to King Hezekiah and asked him, “Where did those men come from, and what did they want?” He replied, “They came from the far away land of Babylon.”

4 Anage higeno Aisaia'a amanage huno antahige'ne, Kinimoka nompina na'a ke'naze? Higeno Hesekaia'a kenona huno, Kinimo'na nompima me'nea zantamina ana maka kevagare'naze. Ana nehu'na zago fenoma nentoa nontamina magore hu'na otre'na ana maka zamaverihu vagaroge'za kevagare'naze.

I asked him, “What did they see in your palace?” Hezekiah replied, “They saw everything. I showed them absolutely everything that I own—all my valuable things.”

5 Hagi anante Aisaia'a amanage huno Hesekaiana asami'ne, Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Hankavenentake Ra Anumzamo'a amanahu naneke hianki kagesa antenka antahio,

Then I said to Hezekiah, “Listen to this message from the Commander of the armies of angels:

6 tamagerfa huno mago kna ne-eankino ananknama ehanatisnigeno'a, ana maka kinimoka nompima me'nea marerisa feno zantamine, kafahe'mozama ko'ma eritruma hazageno meno eno meninema me'nea zantaminena magore hu'za otre'za ana maka eri'za Babiloni moparega vugahaze huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

'There will be a time when everything in your palace, all the valuable things that your ancestors stored there up until the present time, will be carried away to Babylon. Yahweh says that there will be nothing left.

7 Ana nehu'za kagripinti'ma fore'ma hanaza mofavrerampinti mago'a zamavare'za Babiloni moparega vute'za, zamagonknaza ome harisnage'za mani'ne'za Babiloni kini ne'mofo nompi eri'zana erigahaze.

Furthermore, some of your sons will be forced to go to Babylon. They will be castrated in order that they can become servants in the palace of the king of Babylon.'”

8 Hanki anagema higeno'a Hesekaia'a antahiteno, agrama antahiana Aisaia'ma eme hia zantamimo'a, agrama manisnia kna'afina ha' zana forera osina mani fru huta manigahune huno agesa nentahino, amanage huno Aisaiana asami'ne, Ra Anumzamofo nanekema kagrama eme nasamina nanekemo'a knare hie.

Then Hezekiah replied to me, “That message from Yahweh that you have given to me is good.” He said that because he was thinking, “Even if that happens, there will be peace, and people in this country will be safe during the time that I am alive.”
