< यशैया 39 >

1 त्यस बेला बेबिलोनका राजा बलदानका छोरा मरोदकबलदानले हिजकियालाई पत्रहरू र उपहार पठाए । किनभने हिजकिया बिरामी भएका थिए र निको भए भनी उनले सुनेका थिए ।
At that time Merodach-baladan son of Baladan king of Babylon sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah, for he had heard about Hezekiah’s illness and recovery.
2 यी कुराहरूमा हिजकिया प्रशन्‍न भएका थिए । ती दूतहरूलाई आफ्‍ना चाँदी, सुन, मसलाहरू र बहुमूल्य तेलका भण्‍डार, आफ्‍ना हतियारहरूका भण्डार र आफ्‍ना भण्डारमा भेट्टाएका सबै थोक तिनले देखाए । हिजकियाले तिनीहरूलाई नदेखाएका तिनक दरवारमा र राज्यमा कुनै पनि कुरा थिएन ।
And Hezekiah welcomed the envoys gladly and showed them what was in his treasure house—the silver, the gold, the spices, and the precious oil, as well as his entire armory—all that was found in his storehouses. There was nothing in his palace or in all his dominion that Hezekiah did not show them.
3 त्यसपछि यशैया अगमवक्ता हिजकिया राजाकहाँ आए र तिनलाई सोधे, “यी मानिसहरूले तपाईंलाई के भने? तिनीहरू कहाँबाट आएका थिए?” हिजकियाले भने, “तिनीहरू बेबिलोनको टाढा देशबाट मकहाँ आएका हुन् ।”
Then the prophet Isaiah went to King Hezekiah and asked, “Where did those men come from, and what did they say to you?” “They came to me from a distant land,” Hezekiah replied, “from Babylon.”
4 यशैयाले सोधे, “तिनीहरूले तपाईंको दरवार के कुरा हेरेका छन्?” हिजकियाले जवाफ दिए, “तिनीहरूले मेरो दरवारका हरेक कुरा हेरेका छन् । मेरा बहुमूल्य थोकहरूमस तिनीहरूलाई मैले नदेखाएको कुनै पनि थोक छैन ।”
“What have they seen in your palace?” Isaiah asked. “They have seen everything in my palace,” answered Hezekiah. “There is nothing among my treasures that I did not show them.”
5 तब यशैयाले हिजकियालाई भने, “सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको वचन सुन्‍नुहोस्,
Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the LORD of Hosts:
6 ‘हेर्, यस्‍ता दिनहरू आउँदैछन् जति बेला तेरा दरवारमा भएका हरेक कुरा, आजको दिनसम्म तेरा पुर्खाहरूले भण्डारण गरेका कुराहरू बेबिलोनमा लगिनेछ । परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ, कुनै कुरा पनि छोडिनेछैन ।
The time will surely come when everything in your palace and all that your fathers have stored up until this day will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says the LORD.
7 तँबाट जन्मिएका छोराहरू, जसका बाबु तँ आफैं होस्, तिनीहरूले नै ती लानेछन् र बेबिलोनका राजाको दरबारमा तिनीहरू नपुङ्सकहरू बन्‍नेछन् ।’”
And some of your descendants, your own flesh and blood, will be taken away to be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”
8 तब हिजकियाले यशैयालाई भने, “तपाईंले भन्‍नुभएको परमप्रभुको वचन असल छ ।” किनकि तिनले सोचे, “मेरो जीवनकालभरि शान्ति र स्थिरता हुनेछ ।”
But Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of the LORD that you have spoken is good.” For he thought, “At least there will be peace and security in my lifetime.”
