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.
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 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.
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 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.”
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 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.”
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 Afei, Yesaia ka kyerɛɛ Hesekia sɛ, “Tie asɛm a ɛfiri Asafo Awurade nkyɛn:
Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe ʻIsaia kia Hesekaia, “Fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau:
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.
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 Na afei wʼasefoɔ mu bi, wʼankasa wo mogya a wɔbɛwo wɔn ama wo no, wɔbɛsoa wɔn akɔ na wɔakɔyɛ apiafoɔ wɔ Babiloniahene ahemfie.”
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 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.”
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.”
