1 Nang panahong yaon si Merodachbaladan na anak ni Baladan, na hari sa Babilonia, ay nagpadala ng mga sulat at isang kaloob kay Ezechias: sapagka't nabalitaan niya na siya'y nagkasakit, at gumaling.
1 At that time Merodach-baladan 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 At si Ezechias ay natuwa sa kanila, at ipinakita sa kanila ang bahay ng kaniyang mahalagang bagay, ang pilak, at ang ginto, at ang mga especia, at ang mahalagang langis, at ang buong bahay na kaniyang sakbatan, at lahat na nandoon sa kaniyang mga kayamanan: walang bagay sa kaniyang bahay, o sa buong sakop man niya, na hindi ipinakita ni Ezechias sa kanila.
2 Hezekiah was pleased, and showed them all his treasure house, the silver and the gold and the spices and the precious oil and his whole armory and all that was found in his treasuries. There was nothing in his house nor in all his dominion that Hezekiah did not show them.
3 Nang magkagayo'y dumating si Isaias na propeta sa haring Ezechias, at nagsabi sa kaniya, Anong sinabi ng mga lalaking ito? at saan nanggaling na nagsiparito sila sa iyo? At sinabi ni Ezechias, Sila'y nagsiparito sa akin mula sa malayong lupain, sa Babilonia.
3 Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and said to him, “What did these men say, and from where have they come to you?” And Hezekiah said, “They have come to me from a far country, from Babylon.”
4 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi niya, Anong kanilang nakita sa iyong bahay? At sumagot si Ezechias, Lahat ng nangasa aking bahay ay kanilang nakita: walang anomang bagay sa aking mga kayamanan na hindi ko ipinakita sa kanila.
4 He said, “What have they seen in your house?” So Hezekiah answered, “They have seen all that is in my house; there is nothing among my treasuries that I have not shown them.”
6 Narito, ang mga kaarawan ay dumarating, na ang lahat na nangasa iyong bahay, at ang mga tinangkilik ng iyong mga magulang hanggang sa kaarawang ito, dadalhin sa Babilonia: walang maiiwan, sabi ng Panginoon.
6 ‘Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house and all that your fathers have laid up in store to this day will be carried to Babylon; nothing will be left,’ says the Lord.
7 At sa iyong mga anak na magmumula sa iyo, na ipanganganak sa iyo, ay kanilang dadalhin; at sila'y magiging mga bating sa bahay ng hari sa Babilonia.
7 ‘And some of your sons who will issue from you, whom you will beget, will be taken away, and they will become officials in the palace of the king of Babylon.’”
8 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Ezechias kay Isaias, Mabuti ang salita ng Panginoon na iyong sinalita. Kaniyang sinabi bukod dito, Sapagka't magkakaroon ng kapayapaan at katotohanan sa aking mga kaarawan.
8 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of the Lord which you have spoken is good.” For he thought, “For there will be peace and truth in my days.”
