Ihaia 39

1 I taua wa ka tukua mai he pukapuka me tetahi hakari ki a Hetekia e Meroraka Pararana, tama a Pararana kingi o Papurona; i rongo hoki i te mate ia a kua ora.

At that time Merodach-baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he heard that he had been sick, and was recovered.

2 A koa tonu a Hetekia ki a ratou, whakakitea ana e ia ki a ratou te whare o ana mea papai, te hiriwa, te koura, nga kinaki kakara, te hinu pai, me te whare katoa o ana mea mo te whawhai, me nga mea katoa i rokohanga ki roto ki ona taonga; kahore t etahi mea o tona whare, o tona kingitanga katoa, i kore te whakakitea e Hetekia ki a ratou.

And Hezekiah was glad of them, and showed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil, and all the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah did not show them.

3 Katahi a Ihaia poropiti ka haere ki a Kingi Hetekia, ka mea ki a ia, I pehea mai enei tangata? i haere mai hoki ratou i hea ki a koe? Ano ra ko Hetekia, I haere mai ratou ki ahau, i te whenua hoi, i Papurona.

Then Isaiah the prophet came to king Hezekiah, and said to him, What did these men say? And from where did they come to thee? And Hezekiah said, They have come from a far country to me, even from Babylon.

4 Ano ra ko tera, Ko ehea mea i kitea e ratou i roto i tou whare? Ka mea a Hetekia, Kua kitea e ratou nga mea katoa i toku whare. Kahore tetahi mea i roto i oku taonga i kore te whakakitea e ahau ki a ratou.

Then he said, What have they seen in thy house? And Hezekiah answered, They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.

5 Na ka mea a Ihaia ki a Hetekia, Whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa o nga mano.

Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Hear the word of Jehovah of hosts:

6 Nana, kei te haere mai nga ra e kawea ai ki Papurona nga mea katoa o tou whare, me nga mea kua rongoatia nei e ou matua a taea noatia tenei ra; e kore tetahi mea e mahue, e ai ta Ihowa.

Behold, the 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, says Jehovah.

7 Ka tangohia ano e ratou etahi o au tama e puta mai i a koe, e whanau nei mau; a hei unaka ratou ki te whare o te kingi o Papurona.

And of thy sons who shall issue from thee, whom thou shall beget, they shall take away, and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.

8 Ano ra ko Hetekia ki a Ihaia, Pai tonu te kupu a Ihowa i korerotia na e koe. I mea hoki ia, Ka mau hoki te rongo me te pono i oku ra.

Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, The word of Jehovah which thou have spoken is good. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.
