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 sent Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, the king of Babylon, letters and a present to Hezekiah; for he had heard that he had been sick, and was become strong again.
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 was rejoiced on their account, and showed them his treasure-house, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil, and the whole of his armor-house, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing that Hezekiah showed them not, in his house, and in all his dominion.
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 came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What did these men say? and whence did they come unto thee? And Hezekiah said, From a far-off country are they come unto me, 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.
And he said, What did they see in thy house? And Hezekiah said, all that is in my house have they seen; there is nothing that I did not show them in my treasures.
5 Ezayi alobaki na Ezekiasi: — Yoka liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi:
And 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.
Behold, days are coming when all that is in thy house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith 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 of thy sons that will issue from thee, whom thou wilt beget, shall they take; and they shall be court-servants 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. »
Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and stability in my days.
