ʻIsaia 39

1 ‌ʻI he kuonga ko ia naʻe ʻave ʻe Melotaki-Palatani ko e foha ʻo Palatani, ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ʻae ngaahi tohi mo e meʻa foaki kia Hesekaia: he kuo ne fanongo naʻe mahaki ia, pea kuo moʻui.

2 Pea naʻe fiefia ai ʻa Hesekaia, pea naʻa ne fakahā ʻae fale ʻo ʻene ngaahi meʻa mahuʻinga, ʻae siliva, mo e koula, mo e ngaahi meʻa namu kakala, mo e lolo mahuʻinga, mo e fale kotoa ʻo ʻene mahafutau, pea mo ia kotoa pē naʻe ʻilo ʻi hono ngaahi tukunga koloa: naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ʻi hono fale, pe ʻi hono puleʻanga kotoa pē, naʻe taʻefakahā ʻe Hesekaia kiate kinautolu.

3 Pea naʻe toki haʻu ʻa ʻIsaia ko e palōfita ki he tuʻi ko Hesekaia, pea pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻae lea ʻae kau tangata ni? Pea naʻa nau haʻu mei fē kiate koe?” Pea pehē ʻe Hesekaia, “Kuo nau haʻu mei he fonua mamaʻo kiate au, ʻio, mei Papilone.

4 Pea pehē ʻe ia, Ko e hā kuo nau mamata ai ʻi ho fale? Pea pehēange ʻe Hesekaia, “Ko ia kotoa pē ʻi hoku fale kuo nau mamata ki ai: ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻi heʻeku koloa kuo u taʻefakahā kiate kinautolu.”

5 Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe ʻIsaia kia Hesekaia, “Fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau:

6 Vakai, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻE haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ʻe fetuku ki Papilone ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ho fale, pea mo ia kuo tānaki ʻe hoʻo ngaahi tamai ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni: ʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe toe.

7 Pea ko ho ngaahi foha ʻe tupu ʻiate koe, ʻaia te ke fakatupu, te nau ʻave; pea te nau hoko ko e kau talifekau ʻi he fale fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Papilone.”

8 Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe Hesekaia kia ʻIsaia, “ʻOku lelei ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaia kuo ke lea ʻaki.” Pea naʻa ne toe pehē, “Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻi hoku ngaahi ʻaho ʻoʻoku ʻae melino mo e moʻoni.”
