< 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 Merodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah: for he had heard that he had been sick, and was recovered.
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 was glad of them, and showed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, 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 showed them not.
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 came Isaiah the prophet to king Hezekiah, and said to him, What said these men? and from where came they to you? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country to me, even 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 ।”
Then said he, What have they seen in your house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in my house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not showed them.
5 तब यशैयाले हिजकियालाई भने, “सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको वचन सुन्नुहोस्,
Then said Isaiah 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 ।
Behold, the days come, that all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall 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 of your sons that shall issue from you, which you shall beget, shall they take away; and they shall 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 ।”
Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which you have spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.
