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 the same time Merodach-baladan, son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah, because he had heard that Hezekiah was sick and had 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.

Hezekiah happily welcomed the visitors and showed them what he had in his treasury—all the silver, the gold, the spices, and the expensive oils. He also showed them his whole armory and all that he had in his storehouses. In fact there wasn't anything in his palace or in the whole of his kingdom that Hezekiah didn't show them.

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.

Then the prophet Isaiah went to King Hezekiah and asked him, “Where did those men come from, and what did they tell you?” “They came to see me from a long way away, from Babylon,” Hezekiah replied.

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.

“What did they see in your palace?” Isaiah asked. “They saw everything in my palace,” replied Hezekiah. “There wasn't anything in all my storehouses I didn't show them.”

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

Isaiah told Hezekiah, “Listen to what the Lord says:

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.

You can be certain that the time is coming when everything in your palace, and everything that your forefathers have saved up until now, will be taken away to Babylon. There will be nothing left, says the Lord.

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

Some of your sons, your own offspring, will be taken to serve as eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”

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.

Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The message from the Lord that you have told me is fine.” For he said to himself, “There'll definitely be peace and safety in my lifetime.”
