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, Marduk-Baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah; for he heard that he had been sick, and had 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.

Hezekiah was pleased with them, and showed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, 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 asked him, "What did these men say? Where did they come from to you?" Hezekiah said, "They have come from a country far from 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 asked, "What have they seen in your house?" 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 said Isaiah to Hezekiah, "Hear the word of the LORD 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.

'Look, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have stored up until this day, will be carried to Babylon. Nothing will be left,' says the LORD.

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.

'They will take away your descendants who will issue from you, whom you shall father, and they will be eunuchs in the king of Babylon's palace.'"

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 LORD's word which you have spoken is good." He said moreover, "For there will be peace and truth in my days."
