< Isaias 39 >
1 Sa mga oras na iyon si Merodac Baladan anak ni Baladan, hari ng Babylonia, ay nagpadala ng mga liham at regalo kay Hezekias; dahil narinig niya na nagkasakit si Hezekias at gumaling.
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 Si Hezekias ay nagalak sa mga bagay na ito; ipinakita niya sa mensahero ang kanyang imbakan ng mga mahahalagang bagay - ang pilak, ang ginto, ang pabango at mamahaling langis. ang imbakan ng kanyang mga sandata, at lahat ng matatagpuan sa kaniyang mga imbakan. Wala siyang hindi ipinakita sa kanila, sa kaniyang tahanan, ni sa kaniyang kaharian.
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 Pagkatapos lumapit si Isaias ang propeta kay Haring Hezekias at tinanong siya, “Ano ang sinabi sa iyo ng mga taong ito? Saan sila nagmula?” Sumagot si Hezekias, “Naparito sila sa akin mula sa malayong bansa ng Babilonia.”
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 Tinanong ni Isaias, “Ano ang nakita nila sa tahanan mo?” Sagot ni Hezekias, “Nakita nilang ang lahat sa tahanan ko. Walang mahalagang bagay ang hindi ko ipinakita sa kanila.”
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 Pagkatapos sinabi ni Isaias kay Hezekias, “Makinig ka sa salita ni Yahweh ng mga hukbo:
And Isaias said to Ezechias: Rear the word of the Lord of hosts.
6 'Masdan mo, darating ang araw na ang lahat sa iyong kaharian, mga bagay na itinabi ng iyong ninuno hanggang sa mga panahong ito, ay dadalahin sa Babilonia. Walang matitira, sabi ni Yahweh.
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 At ang mga lalaking nagmula sa iyo, na ikaw mismo ang ama - sila ay kukunin palayo, at sila ay magiging mga eunuko sa palasyo ng hari ng Babilonia.”'
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 Pagkatapos sinabi ni Hezekias kay Isaias, “Ang sinabi ni Yahweh na iyong binanggit ay mabuti.” Dahil kanyang inakala, “Magkakaroon ng kapayapaan at tatatag ang aking mga araw.”
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.
