Yesaia 39

1 Saa ɛberɛ no Merodak-Baladan a ɔyɛ Babiloniahene Baladan babarima soma ma wɔde krataa ne akyɛdeɛ kɔmaa Hesekia, ɛfiri sɛ na wate sɛ wayare ama ne ho atɔ no.

At the same time, Merodach Baladan, the sonne of Baladan, King of Babel, sent letters, and a present to Hezekiah: for he had heard that he had bene sicke, and was recouered.

2 Hesekia gyee asomafoɔ no fɛw so, na afei ɔde deɛ ɔwɔ wɔ nʼakoradan mu kyerɛɛ wɔn: dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ, nnuhwam, ngohwam, nʼakodeɛ akoraeɛ ne biribiara a ɛka nʼademudeɛ ho. Biribiara nni nʼahemfie ne nʼahennie mu a Hesekia amfa ankyerɛ wɔn.

And Hezekiah was glad of them, and shewed them the house of the treasures, the siluer, and the golde, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was founde in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his kingdome that Hezekiah shewed them not.

3 Afei Odiyifoɔ Yesaia kɔɔ ɔhene Hesekia nkyɛn, kɔbisaa no sɛ, “Asɛm bɛn na saa mmarima no kaaeɛ na ɛhe na wɔfiri baeɛ?” Hesekia buaa sɛ, “Wɔfiri akyirikyiri asase bi so. Wɔfiri Babilonia, na wɔbaa me nkyɛn.”

Then came Isaiah the Prophet vnto King Hezekiah, and said vnto him, What said these men? and from whence came they to thee? And Hezekiah saide, They are come from a farre countrey vnto me, from Babel.

4 Odiyifoɔ no bisaa sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na wɔhunuu wɔ wʼahemfie hɔ?” Hesekia buaa sɛ, “Wɔhunuu biribiara a ɛwɔ mʼahemfie ha. Biribiara nni mʼademudeɛ mu a mamfa ankyerɛ wɔn.”

Then saide he, What haue they seene in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in mine house haue they seene: there is nothing among my treasures, that I haue not shewed them.

5 Afei, Yesaia ka kyerɛɛ Hesekia sɛ, “Tie asɛm a ɛfiri Asafo Awurade nkyɛn:

And Isaiah saide to Hezekiah, Heare the worde of the Lord of hostes,

6 Nokorɛm, ɛberɛ bi bɛba a, wɔbɛsoa biribiara a ɛwɔ wʼahemfie ne agyapadeɛ a wʼagyanom akora de abɛduru ɛnnɛ no akɔ Babilonia. Biribiara renka, sei na Awurade seɛ.

Beholde, the dayes come, that all that is in thine house, and which thy fathers haue layed vp in store vntill this day, shall be caried to Babel: nothing shall be left, sayeth the Lord.

7 Na afei wʼasefoɔ mu bi, wʼankasa wo mogya a wɔbɛwo wɔn ama wo no, wɔbɛsoa wɔn akɔ na wɔakɔyɛ apiafoɔ wɔ Babiloniahene ahemfie.”

And of thy sonnes, that shall proceede out of thee, and which thou shalt beget, shall they take away, and they shall be eunuches in the palace of the King of Babel.

8 Hesekia dwenee sɛ ne ɔman no bɛnya asomdwoeɛ ne banbɔ wɔ ne mmerɛ so, enti ɔbuaa sɛ, “Awurade asɛm a woabɛka yi yɛ asɛm papa.”

Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, The worde of the Lord is good, which thou hast spoken: and he saide, Yet let there be peace, and trueth in my dayes.
