Isaías 39

1 At that time, Merodach-baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he heard that he had been sick, and had recovered. 2 Hezekiah was pleased with them, and showed them the house of his precious things, the silver, the gold, the spices, and the precious oil, and all the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah didn’t show them. 3 Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah, and asked him, "What did these men say? From where did they come to you?"

Hezekiah said, "They have come from a country far from me, even from Babylon."

4 Then he asked, "What have they seen in your house?"

Hezekiah answered, "They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them."

5 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, "Hear the word of Yahweh of Armies: 6 ‘Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have stored up until today, will be carried to Babylon. Nothing will be left,’ says Yahweh. 7 ‘They will take away your sons who will issue from you, whom you shall father, and they will be eunuchs in the king of Babylon’s palace.’"

8 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "Yahweh’s word which you have spoken is good." He said moreover, "For there will be peace and truth in my days."

Ka Pōwhiritia ngā Karere mai i Papurōna

1 I taua wā ka tukua mai he pukapuka me tētahi hākari ki a Hetekia e Meroraka Pararana, tama a Pararana kīngi o Papurōna; i rongo hoki i te mate ia, ā, kua ora. 2 Ā, koa tonu a Hetekia ki a rātou, whakakitea ana e ia ki a rātou te whare o āna mea papai, te hiriwa, te kōura, ngā kīnaki kakara, te hinu pai, me te whare katoa o āna mea mō te whawhai, me ngā mea katoa i rokohanga ki roto ki ōna taonga; kāhore tētahi mea o tōna whare, o tōna kīngitanga katoa, i kore te whakakitea e Hetekia ki a rātou.

3 Kātahi a Ihāia poropiti ka haere ki a Kīngi Hetekia, ka mea ki a ia, "I pēhea mai ēnei tāngata? I haere mai hoki rātou i hea ki a koe?"

Anō rā ko Hetekia, "I haere mai rātou ki ahau, i te whenua hoi, i Papurōna."

4 Anō rā ko tērā, "Ko ēhea mea i kitea e rātou i roto i tōu whare?"

Ka mea a Hetekia, "Kua kitea e rātou ngā mea katoa i tōku whare. Kāhore tētahi mea i roto i ōku taonga i kore te whakakitea e ahau ki a rātou."

5 Nā, ka mea a Ihāia ki a Hetekia, "Whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowā o ngā mano: 6 Nanā, kei te haere mai ngā rā e kawea ai ki Papurōna ngā mea katoa o tōu whare, me ngā mea kua rongoātia nei e ōu mātua ā taea noatia tēnei rā. E kore tētahi mea e mahue, e ai tā Ihowā. 7 Ka tangohia anō e rātou ētahi o āu tama e puta mai i a koe, e whānau nei māu, ā, hei unaka rātou ki te whare o te kīngi o Papurōna."

8 Anō rā ko Hetekia ki a Ihāia, "Pai tonu te kupu a Ihowā i kōrerotia nā e koe." I mea hoki ia, "Ka mau hoki te rongo me te pono i ōku rā."
