Ezayi 39
1 Na tango wana, Merodaki-Baladani, mwana mobali ya Baladani, mokonzi ya Babiloni, atindaki mokanda mpe kado epai ya Ezekiasi, pamba te ayokaki sango ete Ezekiasi abelaki mpe abikaki.
At that time Merodach-baladan son of Baladan king of Babylon sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah, for he had heard about Hezekiah’s illness and recovery.
2 Ezekiasi ayambaki bantoma wana na esengo mpe alakisaki bibombelo biloko na ye ya motuya lokola palata mpe wolo, biloko ya mike-mike ya solo kitoko, mafuta ya kitoko, bibundeli na ye nyonso mpe bomengo na ye nyonso. Ezalaki na eloko moko te, ezala ya ndako na ye to ya mokili na ye mobimba, oyo azangaki kolakisa bango.
And Hezekiah welcomed the envoys gladly and showed them what was in his treasure house—the silver, the gold, the spices, and the precious oil, as well as his entire armory—all that was found in his storehouses. There was nothing in his palace or in all his dominion that Hezekiah did not show them.
3 Boye, mosakoli Ezayi akendeki epai ya mokonzi Ezekiasi mpe atunaki ye: — Bato wana balobi nini mpe bawuti wapi? Ezekiasi azongisaki: — Bawuti mosika, na mokili ya Babiloni, mpo na koya kotala ngai.
Then the prophet Isaiah went to King Hezekiah and asked, “Where did those men come from, and what did they say to you?” “They came to me from a distant land,” Hezekiah replied, “from Babylon.”
4 Ezayi atunaki: — Bamoni eloko nini kati na ndako na yo? Ezekiasi azongisaki: — Bamoni biloko nyonso oyo ezali kati na ndako na ngai; ezali na eloko moko te, kati na bibombelo na ngai, oyo nazangi kolakisa bango.
“What have they seen in your palace?” Isaiah asked. “They have seen everything in my palace,” answered Hezekiah. “There is nothing among my treasures that I did not show them.”
5 Ezayi alobaki na Ezekiasi: — Yoka liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi:
Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the LORD of Hosts:
6 « Solo, na mikolo oyo ekoya, nyonso oyo ezali kati na ndako na yo mpe nyonso oyo batata na yo babomba kino na mokolo ya lelo, bakomema yango na Babiloni; eloko moko te ekotikala, » elobi Yawe.
The time will surely come when everything in your palace and all that your fathers have stored up until this day will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says the LORD.
7 « Mingi kati na bakitani na yo, kati na ba-oyo babimi penza na mokongo na yo, bakomema bango mpe bakoboma bango mikongo mpo ete bakoma kosala kati na ndako ya mokonzi ya Babiloni. »
And some of your descendants, your own flesh and blood, will be taken away to be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”
8 Ezekiasi azongiselaki Ezayi: — Liloba na Yawe oyo osili koloba ezali malamu. Pamba te azalaki komilobela: « Kimia mpe bobatelami ekozala penza na mikolo ya bomoi na ngai. »
But Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of the LORD that you have spoken is good.” For he thought, “At least there will be peace and security in my lifetime.”
