2 Mafumu 18

1 Mʼchaka chachitatu cha Hoseya mwana wa Ela mfumu ya Israeli, Hezekiya mwana wa Ahazi mfumu ya Yuda analowa ufumu.

E higa mar adek mar loch Hoshea wuod Ela ruodh Israel, Hezekia wuod Ahaz ruodh Juda nodoko ruoth.

2 Anakhala mfumu ali ndi zaka 25 ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu zaka 29. Amayi ake anali Abi, mwana wa Zekariya.

Ne en ja-higni piero ariyo gabich kane obedo ruoth, kendo norito piny kuom higni piero ariyo gochiko, kodak Jerusalem. Min mare ne nyinge Abija nyar Zekaria.

3 Iye anachita zolungama pamaso pa Yehova monga anachitira Davide kholo lake.

Notimo gima kare e nyim wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye, mana kaka kwar mare Daudi notimo.

4 Anachotsa malo opembedzerako mafano, anaphwanya miyala yachipembedzo ndiponso anadula mafano a Asera. Iye anaphwanya njoka yamkuwa imene Mose anapanga, pakuti mpaka kufikira nthawi imeneyi Aisraeli amafukiza lubani kwa njoka imeneyi. (Imatchedwa Nehusitani).

Nomuko kuonde motingʼore malo mag lemo, mi otoyo kite milamo kendo ongʼado sirni milamo mag Ashera. Ne otoyo matindo tindo thuond mula mane Musa oloso, nikech nyaka chop ndalono jo-Israel nosebedo kawangʼo ne ubani (ne iluonge ni Nehushtan).

5 Hezekiya anadalira Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli. Kotero panalibe wina wofanana naye pakati pa mafumu onse a Yuda, asanakhale mfumu kapena atakhala kale mfumu.

Hezekia ne ogeno kuom Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel. Ne onge ngʼama osechalo kode e dier ruodhi duto mag Juda, bedni negisebedo e loch chon kata bangʼe.

6 Iye anakangamira Yehova ndipo sanamusiye koma anasunga malamulo amene Yehova anapatsa Mose.

Ne osiko kogeno kuom Jehova Nyasaye mi ok noweyo luwe; kendo ne orito chike mane Jehova Nyasaye omiyo Musa.

7 Ndipo Yehova anali naye ndipo kulikonse kumene anapita zinthu zinkamuyendera bwino. Iye anagalukira mfumu ya ku Asiriya ndipo sanayitumikirenso.

Jehova Nyasaye ne ni kode, kendo ne odhi maber e gik moko duto mane otimo. Nongʼanyone ruodh Asuria kendo ne ok otiyone.

8 Iye anakantha Afilisti kuyambira ku nsanja ya alonda mpaka ku mzinda wotetezedwa. Anakafika mpaka ku Gaza ndi ku malire ake.

Noloyo jo-Filistia chakre kuonde ngʼicho motingʼore gi malo nyaka dala maduongʼ mochiel motegno, mochopo nyaka Gaza gi mier mokiewo kode.

9 Mʼchaka chachinayi cha Mfumu Hezekiya, chimene chinali chaka chachisanu ndi chiwiri cha Hoseya mwana wa Ela mfumu ya Israeli, Salimenezeri, mfumu ya ku Asiriya anabwera kudzathira nkhondo mzinda wa Samariya ndi kuwuzinga

E higa mar angʼwen mar loch Hezekia, ma en higa mar abiriyo mar Hoshea wuod Ela ruodh Israel, Shalmaneser ruodh Asuria nomonjo Samaria kendo jolweny nolwore.

10 Asiriya analanda mzindawu patatha zaka zitatu. Choncho mzinda wa Samariya unalandidwa chaka chachisanu ndi chimodzi cha Hezekiya, chimene chinali chaka chachisanu ndi chinayi cha Hoseya mfumu ya Israeli.

Bangʼ higni adek, jo-Asuria nokaw Samaria. Omiyo Samaria nokaw e higa mar auchiel mar loch Hezekia mane en higa mar ochiko mar Hoshea ruodh Israel.

11 Mfumu ya ku Asiriya inatenga Aisraeli kupita nawo ku ukapolo ku Asiriya ndipo anakawakhazika ku Hala, ku Habori pafupi ndi mtsinje wa Gozani ndi mʼmizinda ya Amedi.

Ruodh Asuria nodaro jo-Israel motero e twech e piny Asuria kendo noketogi gidak Hala, Gozan man e bath Aora Habor kaachiel gi mier mag Medes.

12 Izi zinachitika chifukwa sanamvere zonena za Yehova Mulungu wawo, koma anaphwanya pangano lake ndi zonse zimene Mose mtumiki wa Yehova anawalamula. Iwo sanamvere malamulowo kapena kuwagwiritsa ntchito.

Ma notimore nikech ne ok girito chike Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi, to negiketho singruok mane Musa jatich Jehova Nyasaye ochikogi. Kata kamano ne ok girito chikene kata timo dwarone.

13 Mʼchaka chakhumi ndi chinayi cha ulamuliro wa Mfumu Hezekiya, Senakeribu mfumu ya ku Asiriya anathira nkhondo mizinda yonse yotetezedwa ya Yuda, nayilanda.

E higa mar apar gangʼwen mar loch Ruoth Hezekia, Senakerib ruodh Asuria nomonjo mier madongo duto mochiel motegno mag Juda mokawogi.

14 Choncho Hezekiya mfumu ya Yuda anatumiza uthenga kwa mfumu ya ku Asiriya ku Lakisi wonena kuti, “Ine ndalakwa. Chokani kuno ndipo ndidzakupatsani chilichonse chimene munene.” Mfumu ya ku Asiriya inalamula mfumu Hezekiya, mfumu ya Yuda, kuti azipereka makilogalamu a siliva okwana 3,000 ndi makilogalamu a golide 1,000.

Omiyo Hezekia ruodh Juda nooro wach ne ruodh Asuria ka en Lakish kowacho kama: “Aseketho, koro yie iwe kedo koda nikech abiro chulo gimoro amora midwaro.” Ruodh Asuria nokawo kuom Hezekia ruodh Juda fedha ma pekne romo kilo alufu apar gi dhahabu ma pekne romo kilo alufu achiel.

15 Mfumu Hezekiya inapereka siliva yense amene anapezeka mʼNyumba ya Yehova ndi mʼnyumba zosungiramo chuma cha mfumu.

Omiyo Hezekia nomiye fedha duto mane oyud e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye to gi ute keno duto mag od ruoth.

16 Nthawi imeneyi Hezekiya mfumu ya Yuda anakanganula golide amene anakuta zitseko ndi mphuthu za chipata cha Nyumba ya Yehova namupereka kwa mfumu ya ku Asiriya.

E sa onogo ema ne Hezekia ruodh Juda ne ogolo oko dhahabu mane obawogo dhoudi kod sirni mag hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kendo nomiyogi ruodh Asuria.

17 Mfumu ya ku Asiriya inatuma Taritani, Rabusarisi ndi Rabusake pamodzi ndi gulu lalikulu la ankhondo, kwa Mfumu Hezekiya ku Yerusalemu kuchokera ku Lakisi. Iwo anafika ku Yerusalemu nakayima pafupi ndi ngalande ya madzi yochokera ku Dziwe Lakumtunda, pa msewu waukulu wopita ku malo a Munda wa Mmisiri Wochapa.

Ruodh Asuria nooro jatend jolweny mare maduongʼ, jatend jolweny maluwe to gi jatend lweny motelo e kar kedo kaachiel gi jolweny mangʼeny ir Hezekia Jerusalem ka gia Lakish. Negidhi nyaka Jerusalem ma gichopo e bath Soko man malo nyaka e puoth jaluoko.

18 Iwo anayitana mfumu, ndipo Eliyakimu mwana wa Hilikiya woyangʼanira nyumba ya mfumu, Sebina mlembi wa bwalo ndi Yowa mwana wa Asafu mlembi wa zochitika anapita kwa anthuwo.

Kane giluongo ruoth, to Eliakim wuod Hilkia jatend od ruoth, Shebna jagoro kendo Joa wuod Asaf mane jachan weche nodhi irgi.

19 Ndipo Rabusake anawawuza kuti, “Kamuwuzeni Hezekiya kuti, “‘Mfumu yayikulu, mfumu ya ku Asiriya ikunena kuti, ‘Kodi chikukulimbitsa mtima ndi chiyani?’

Jatend lweny nowachonegi niya, “Wachneuru Hezekia kama: “‘Ma e gima ruoth maduongʼ ma ruodh Asuria wacho: En kama nade miketoe genoni momiyo in-gi chir kama?

20 Iwe ukuti uli ndi luso ndiponso mphamvu pa nkhondo, komatu ukuyankhula mawu opanda pake. Kodi tsono iwe ukudalira yani kuti undiwukire ine?

Uwacho ni un gi rieko kod teko mangʼeny mar lweny, to gik ma uwacho onge tiendgi. En ngʼa ma uketo genou kuome, mamiyo ungʼanyo uweya?

21 Taona tsono, iwe ukudalira Igupto, bango lothyokalo, limene limalasa mʼmanja mwa munthu ngati waliyesa ndodo yoyendera! Umo ndi mmene Farao mfumu ya ku Igupto imachitira aliyense amene akuyidalira.’”

Neuru, sani koro uketo genou kuom Misri, machalo odundu mobarore ma ka ngʼato orere to opilore mochwo ngʼatno kendo kelo adhola! Mano e kaka Farao ruodh Misri chalo ne joma ogeno kuome.

22 Ndipo ngati ukunena kwa ine kuti, “Ife tikudalira Yehova Mulungu wathu.” Kodi si Mulungu yemweyo amene nyumba zake ndi maguwa ake Hezekiya anachotsa, nawuza anthu a ku Yuda ndi a ku Yerusalemu kuti, “Muzipembedza pa guwa lansembe ili mu Yerusalemu?”

To ka uwachona niya, “Wan waketo genowa kuom Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa,” to donge en ema kuondene motingʼore malo kod kendene mag misango Hezekia nogolo kowachone jo-Juda gi jo-Jerusalem niya, “Nyaka ulam mana e nyim kendoni e Jerusalem?”

23 “‘Ndipo tsopano bwera udzakambirane ndi mbuye wanga, mfumu ya ku Asiriya: ine ndidzakupatsa akavalo 2,000 ngati ungathe kupeza okwerapo!

“‘Biuru sani mondo uwinjru gi ruodha, ma en ruodh Asuria: Abiro miyou farese alufu ariyo, ka unyalo yudo joma riembogi!

24 Ungathe bwanji kugonjetsa ngakhale mmodzi mwa akazembe angʼonoangʼono a mbuye wanga, pamene ukudalira Igupto kuti akupatse magaleta ndi anthu okwera pa akavalo?

Ere kaka uparo ni unyalo loyo achiel kuom jotend jolweny matinie moloyo mag ruodha ka uketo genou mana kuom jolwenj Misri gi faresegi?

25 Kuwonjezera pamenepa, kodi ine ndabwera kudzathira nkhondo ndi kuwononga malo ano popanda chilolezo cha Yehova? Yehova mwini ndiye anandiwuza kuti ndidzathire nkhondo ndi kuwononga dziko lino.’”

To moloyo, bende dibed ni asebiro monjo kendo ketho dalani ka ok en kuom wach Jehova Nyasaye? Jehova Nyasaye owuon ema osenyisa mondo abi amonj pinyni kendo akethe.’”

26 Pamenepo Eliyakimu mwana wa Hilikiya, Sebina ndi Yowa anawuza Rabusakeyo kuti, “Chonde yankhulani kwa atumiki anufe mʼChiaramu, popeza timachimva. Musayankhule nafe mu Chihebri kuopa kuti anthu onse amene ali pa khomapa angamve.”

Eka Eliakim wuod Hilkia, Shebna kod Joa nowachone Rabshake jatend lweny niya, “Yie iwuo gi jotichni gi dho jo-Aram, nimar wawinjo dhokno. We wuoyo kodwa gi dho jo-Hibrania nikech joma ni e ohinga nyalo winjo gik miwachonwa.”

27 Koma Rabusake anayankha kuti, “Kodi mbuye wanga wandituma kuti ndidzanene zinthu izi kwa mbuye wanu yekha ndi inu nokha basi? Ayi, komanso kwa anthu amene akhala pa khomawa. Iwowa adzadya chimbudzi chawo chomwe ndi kumwa mkodzo wawo womwe monga momwe mudzachitire inuyonso.”

To Rabshake jatend lweny nodwokogi niya, “Uparo ni un kod ruodhu kendu ema ne ruodha oora iru mondo awachnu wechegi, to ok ne joma obedo ei ohinga; bende ungʼeyo ni jogo kaachiel gi un biro bangʼo chiethgi kendo madho lachgi?”

28 Tsono Rabusake anayimirira nafuwula mu Chihebri kuti, “Imvani mawu a mfumu yayikulu, mfumu ya ku Asiriya!

Eka jatend lweny nochungʼ moluongo matek gi dho jo-Hibrania niya, “Winjuru wach moa kuom ruoth maduongʼ, ma en ruodh Asuria!

29 Zimene mfumu ikunena ndi izi: ‘Musalole kuti Hezekiya akunamizeni. Iye sangakupulumutseni mʼdzanja langa.

Ma e gima ruoth wacho: Kik uyie Hezekia wuondu nikech ok onyal resou e lweta.

30 Hezekiya asakukakamizeni kudalira Yehova ndi mawu akuti, ‘Ndithu, Yehova adzatipulumutsa; ndipo sadzapereka mzindawu mʼdzanja la mfumu ya ku Asiriya.’

Kik uwe Hezekia hou mondo ugen kuom Jehova Nyasaye kowachonu ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye biro resowa adier, kendo dala maduongʼni ok nochiw e lwet ruodh Asuria.’

31 “Musamumvere Hezekiya. Zimene mfumu ya ku Asiriya ikunena ndi izi: Pangani mtendere ndi ine ndipo mutuluke mu mzinda. Mukatero aliyense wa inu adzadya mphesa ndi nkhuyu za mʼmunda mwake ndiponso adzamwa madzi a mʼchitsime chake,

“Kik uwinj wach Hezekia. Ma e gima ruodh Asuria wacho: Winjreuru koda kendo biuru ira oko. Bangʼe ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu nocham mzabibu kod ngʼowu kendo nomodh pi moa e sokone owuon,

32 mpaka nditabwera kudzakutengani kupita ku dziko lofanana ndi lanuli, dziko la tirigu ndi vinyo watsopano, dziko la chakudya ndi minda ya mipesa, dziko la mitengo ya olivi ndi uchi. Sankhani moyo osati imfa! “Musamvere zonena Hezekiya, pakuti iye akukusocheretsani ponena kuti, ‘Yehova adzatipulumutsa.’

nyaka chop abi mi ateru e piny machal gi pinyu, ma en piny machiego cham gi divai manyien, piny mopongʼ gi makati kod mzabibu, piny man-gi yiende zeituni kod mor kich. Yieruru ngima, to kik uyier tho! “Kik uwinj wach Hezekia, nimar owuondou kowacho ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye biro resowa.’

33 Kodi mulungu wa anthu a mtundu wina uliwonse wapulumutsapo dziko lake mʼdzanja la mfumu ya ku Asiriya?

Bende nyaka nene nyasach piny moro amora osereso ogandane e lwet ruodh Asuria?

34 Kodi ili kuti milungu ya Hamati ndi Aripadi? Ili kuti milungu ya Sefaravaimu, Hena ndi Ivani? Kodi inapulumutsa Samariya mʼdzanja langa?

Ere nyiseche mag Hamath gi Arpad? Ere nyiseche mag Sefarvaim, Hena kod Iva? Bende ne gireso Samaria e lweta?

35 Kodi ndi milungu iti mwa milungu yonse ya mayiko awa amene anapulumutsa dziko lake mʼdzanja langa? Nanga tsono Yehova adzapulumutsa Yerusalemu mʼdzanja langa motani?”

Kuom nyiseche duto mag pinjegi, en mane mosereso pinye e lweta? To koro ere kaka Jehova Nyasaye nyalo reso Jerusalem e lweta?”

36 Koma anthu anakhala chete ndipo sanayankhepo kanthu, chifukwa mfumu inawalamula kuti, “Musayankhe.”

To ji duto nolingʼ thi maonge ngʼama dwoko nimar ruoth Hezekia nosegolo chik niya, “Kik udwoke.”

37 Pamenepo anthu atatu aja Eliyakimu, mwana wa Hilikiya amene ankayangʼanira nyumba ya mfumu, Sebina mlembi wa bwalo ndi Yowa mwana wa Asafu, mlembi wa zochitika anapita kwa Hezekiya atangʼamba zovala zawo ndipo anamuwuza Hezekiya zonse zimene anayankhula Rabusake uja.

Eka Eliakim wuod Hilkia jatend od ruoth, gi Shebna jagoro kod Joa wuod Asaf jachan weche mag piny nodhi ir Hezekia, ka lepgi oyiech kendo negiwachone gima jatend lwenyno osewacho.
