Isaayyaas 39

1 Yeroo sanatti Meroodak Baladaan ilmi Baladaan mootiin Baabilon sababii akka Hisqiyaas dhukkubsatee fayye dhagaʼeef xalayootaa fi kennaa ergeef.

At that time Merodach Baladan, the son of Baladan king of Babylon, sent letters and presents to Ezechias: for he had heard that he had been sick and was recovered.

2 Hisqiyaasis ergamoota sana gammachuudhaan simatee waan mankuusa isaa keessa ture meetii, warqee, urgooftuu, zayitii qulqulluu akkasumas kuusaa miʼa lolaa isaa guutuu fi waan mankuusa isaa keessatti argamu hunda isaanitti argisiise. Wanni Hisqiyaas masaraa mootummaa isaa keessaa yookaan mootummaa isaa hunda keessaa isaanitti hin argisiisin tokko iyyuu hin turre.

And Ezechias rejoiced at their coming, and he shewed them the storehouses of his aromatical spices, and of the silver, and of the gold, and of the sweet odours, and of the precious ointment, and all the storehouses of his furniture, and all things that were found in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion that Ezechias shewed them not.

3 Kana irratti Isaayyaas raajichi gara Hisqiyaas mootichaa dhaqee, “Namoonni sun maal jedhan? Isaan eessaa dhufan?” jedhee gaafate. Hisqiyaasis, “Isaan Baabilonii biyya fagoodhaa na bira dhufan” jedhee deebise.

Then Isaias the prophet came to king Ezechias, and said to him: What said these men, and from whence came they to thee? And Ezechias said: From a far country they came to me, from Babylon.

4 Raajichi, “Jarri masaraa mootummaa keetii keessatti maal argan?” jedhee gaafate. Hisqiyaas immoo, “Isaan waan masaraa mootummaa koo keessa jiru hunda argan; wanni ani mankuusa koo keessaa isaanitti hin argisiisin tokko iyyuu hin jiru” jedheen.

And he said: What saw they in thy house? And Ezechias said: All things that are in my house have they seen, there was not any thing which I have not shewn them in my treasures.

5 Isaayyaasis kana irratti Hisqiyaasiin akkana jedhe; “Dubbii Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu dhagaʼi:

And Isaias said to Ezechias: Rear the word of the Lord of hosts.

6 Yeroon itti wanni masaraa mootummaa keetii keessa jiru hundii fi wanni abbootiin kee hamma harʼaatti kuusan hundinuu saamamee gara Baabilonitti geeffamu tokko dhugumaan ni dhufa. Wanni tokko iyyuu hin hafu, jedha Waaqayyo.

Behold the days shall come, that all that is in thy house, and that thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried away into Babylon: there shall not any thing be left, saith the Lord.

7 Sanyii kee keessaa namoonni tokko tokko, foonii fi dhiigni kee kanneen siif dhalatan boojiʼamanii masaraa mootummaa mooticha Baabilon keessatti xuʼaashiiwwan taʼu.”

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

8 Hisqiyaasis, “Dubbiin Waaqayyoo kan ati dubbatte kun gaarii dha” jedhee deebise. Inni, “Bara jireenya koo keessa nagaa fi tasgabbiin ni jiraata” jedhee yaadee tureetii.

And Ezechias said to Isaias: The word of the Lord, which he hath spoken, is good. And he said: Only let peace and truth be in my days.
