Isaia 39

1 Tamin’ izany andro izany no nampitondran’ i Merodaka-baladana, zanak’ i Baladana, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, taratasy sy fanomezana ho an’ i Hezekia; fa efa reny fa narary izy ka sitrana.

At that time Marodach Baladan, the son of Baladan, the king of Babylonia, sent letters and ambassadors and gifts to Ezekias: for he had heard that he had been sick [even] to death, and was recovered.

2 Ary dia faly Hezekia noho izany ka nampiseho azy ny trano fitehirizany zava-tsoa, dia volafotsy sy volamena sy zava-manitra ary menaka tsara, sy ny trano fitehirizana ny fiadiany rehetra mbamin’ izay rehetra tao amin’ ny firaketany; tsy nisy zavatra tsy nasehon’ i Hezekia azy, na ny tao an-tranony, na ny tao amin’ ny fanjakany rehetra.

And Ezekias was glad of their coming, and he shewed them the house of [his] spices, and of silver, and gold, and myrrh, and incense, and ointment, and all the houses of his treasures, and all that he had in his stores: and there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, which Ezekias did not shew.

3 Dia nankany amin’ i Hezekia mpanjaka mpaminany ka nanao taminy hoe: Ahoana no nolazain’ ireo olona ireo, ary avy taiza nihaviany hankatỳ aminao? Ary hoy Hezekia: Nankaty amiko avy tany an-tany lavitra izy, dia avy tany Babylona.

And Esaias the prophet came to king Ezekias, and said to him, What say these men? and whence came they to thee? and Ezekias said, They are come to me from a land afar off, from Babylon.

4 Dia hoy izy: Ka inona avy anefa no hitany tato ananonao? Ary hoy Hezekia: Izay rehetra an-tranoko dia efa hitany avokoa; tsy nisy zavatra tsy nasehoko azy ny ao amin’ ny firaketako rehetra.

And Esaias said, What have they seen in thine house? and Ezekias said, They have seen everything in my house; and there is nothing in my house which they have not seen: yea, also the [possessions] in my treasuries.

5 Ary hoy Isaia tamin’ i Hezekia: Henoy ny tenin’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro:

And Esaias said to him, Hear the word of the Lord of hosts:

6 Indro, avy ny andro, ka ho entina ho any Babylona izay rehetra ao an-tranonao sy izay rehetra noharin’ ny razanao ka voatahiry mandraka androany; eny, tsy hisy sisa hijanona inona na inona, hoy Jehovah.

Behold, the days come, when they shall take all the [things that are] in thine house, and all that thy fathers have gathered until this day, shall go to Babylon; and they shall not leave anything at all: and God hath said,

7 Ary na dia terakao aza dia hisy ho entiny koa, ka ho tandonaka any amin’ ny lapan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona ireo.

that they shall take also of thy children whom thou shalt beget; and they shall make them eunuchs in the house of the king of the Babylonians.

8 Dia hoy Hezekia tamin’ Isaia: Tsara ny tenin’ i Jehovah izay nolazainao. Ary hoy koa izy: Eny, hisy fiadanana amin’ ny androko handry fahizay.

And Ezekias said to Esaias, Good is the word of the Lord, which he hath spoken: let there, I pray, be peace and righteousness in my days.
