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

Hagi Negeho ne' Deviti'ma hu'neaza huno Hezekaia Ra Anumzamofo avurera maka fatgo avu'avaza hu'ne.

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).

Hagi havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hunentaza kumatmina Hezekai'a eri haviza hunetreno havema asente'nezama mono'ma nehaza havea ru tamana hunetreno, Asera havi anumzamofo amema'ama zafare'ma antre'za tro'ma hunte'nazana rukafri atre'ne.

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

Hezekai'a Israeli vahe Ra Anumzantera hanavetino amentintia hu'ne. Hagi ko'ma Juda vahe kinima mani'za e'naza kini vahe'ene, agriteti'ma henkama fore'ma hu'naza kini vahepintira magore hu'za agrikna kinia forera osu'naze.

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

Agra Ra Anumzamofona maka kna azeri antrako nehuno, amefira huomi'ne. Ana nehuno Ra Anumzamo'ma Mosesema ami'nea kasegea amage ante'ne.

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

Anama higeno'a Ra Anumzamo'a Hezekai'ene mani'negeno, maka'zama agrama hiazamo'a knare'zanke hu'ne. Hagi Asiria kinimofo kema antahino agri agoragama mani'neno eri'zama'ama erinte'zankura aveosi'ne.

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

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

Hagi Hezekai'ama kinima manino egeno 4ma hia kafurera, Ela nemofo Hosea'ma Israeli kinima mani'neana kafu'amo'a 7ni hu'ne. Ana kafufina Asiria kini ne' Salmaneseli'a sondia vahezaga'ane eno ha'huzmante'naku Sameria kumara eme avazagi kagi'ne.

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.

Hagi Asiria vahe'mo'za Sameria rankumara avazagikagiza hara hume nevazageno 3'a kafu evutege'za, ana kumara hara huzmagatere'za eri'naze. Higeno ama ana kafumo'a Hezekaima kinima manino e'nea kafua 6si higeno, Hosea'ma kinima manino'ma e'nea kafua 9ni hu'ne.

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.

Anama huteno Asiria kini ne'mo'a Israeli vahera zamavareno Asiria vuno, mago'a ome zamatrege'za Hala kumate nemanizageno, mago'a Habori ti tvaonte Gosani kaziga nemanizageno, mago'a Midia vahe'ma nemaniza ranra kumatmimpi zamatrege'za mani'naze.

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.

Na'ankure ana maka knazama Israeli vahete'ma fore hu'neana, zamagra Ra Anumzana Anumza zamimofo nanekea amage nonte'za, Ra Anumzamo'ma zamagranema erihagerafi huvempa kema hu'neana rutagre'za, Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Mosese'ma zami'nea kasegenena zamefi huminagu, anara hu'naze.

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

Hagi Hezekaia'ma Juda vahe kinima mani'negeno 14nima hia kafufina, Asiria kini ne' Senakeripi'a Juda vahera eme hahuzmanteno ana maka ranra kuma'ma hankave keginama hu'naza kumatmina erivagare'ne.

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.

Hagi Asiria kini ne' Senakeripi'ma Lakisi kumate'ma mani'negeno'a, Juda kini ne' Hezekai'a amanage huno kea atrentegeno vu'ne, Nagra hazenke hu'noe. E'ina hu'negu kagra natrenka rukrahe hunka vuo. Anama hnanke'na nagra nazano mizasenantoma hunka hanana zana amne kamigahue. Higeno Asiria kini ne'mo'a Hezekaiankura asamino, silva zagoa kna'amo'a 11tausen kilo hu'nesia nenaminka, golia kna'amo'a 1tausen kilonaza hu'nenia namigahane huno hunte'ne.

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

Hagi anagema higeno'a, Ra Anumzamofo mono nompima silva zagoma me'neama'ane, kini ne'mofo nompima zagoma nentafima silva zagoma me'neama'a ana maka Hezekaia'a erivagareno ami'ne.

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.

Hagi Ra Anumzamofo mono nomofo kafaraminte'ene kafa zafare'ma, Hezekaia'ma anoma vazinte'nea golinena ana zupa, agra'a maka kanopevareno Asiria kini nera ami'ne.

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.

Hagi Asiria kini ne'ma Lakisi kumate'ma mani'neno, sondia vahete'ma ugagota hu'naza 3'a kva vahera huzmantege'za, tusi sondia vahe'zagane Hezekai'ma Jerusalemi mani'nerega vu'naze. Hagi ana vahe'mo'za Jerusalemi uhanatite'za, anaga kazigama me'nea tirutegati'ma kerima ase'za tima avre'za Jerusalemi kumapima urami'nazare vu'za ana tvaonte umani'naze. Ana tima avre'naza kerimo'a tavravere'ma penima fre'za tro'ma nehaza kumategama vu'nea kamofo tvaonte me'ne.

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.

Hagi ana kini ne' Hezekaianku ke hazageno, agri nonte'ma kegavama nehia ne' Hilkia nemofo Eliakiminki, avontafe'ma kreno eri fatgoma nehia ne' Sebnanki, kini ne'mo'ma ana maka'zama hiazama avompima krenentea ne', Asapu nemofo Joanki huno huzmantege'za vu'naze.

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

Hagi ana 3'a Hezekaia eri'za vahe'ma uhanatizageno'a, Siria sondia vahete ugota kva ne' Rabsake'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Asiria kumate hanavenentake kini ne'mo'a amanage huno hie, Kagra ina hankveka'agu nentahinka nagri nagorga mani'nakura nosane hanki Hezekaiana ome asamiho.

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

Kagrama nehanana ha'ma hu antahintahine sondia vahe'enena knare hu'noe hunka nehananagi, kekamo'a nena'a forera osugahie. Ina vahe'mo kzahuku higenka, kagra nagri nagorga nomani'ne.

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.’”

Hagi menina kagra Isipi vahe'mo'za naza hanage'na hara hugahue hunka kavua nentane. Hianagi Isipi kumamo'a ketamo rufutagiankna hu'ne. E'ina hu'neankinka ana ketama erinkama azompama renka'ma vnanana kzampi kregahie. Hagi Isipi kini ne'mofo avu'ava'amo'a e'ina ketakna hu'neankino, agrama tamazama haniana e'ina hugahie.

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?”

Hianagi kagrama hunka, Israeli vahe'mota Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamofonte tamentinti nehunankino, taza hugahie hunka hugahananagi, tamaza osugahie. Na'ankure Hezekaiaga kagra mono'ma hunentaza kumatamine Kresramanama nevaza itaramina ana maka eri haviza huvaganerenka, Juda vahe'ene Jerusalemi vahekura zamasaminka, Jerusalemige eta magoke kresramna vu itama me'nereke monora eme hunteho hunka hu'nane.

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

Hagi Hezekaiagagura Asiria kini nemo'a amanage huno hu'ne, Kagrama hu izo hunka mago krimpama hnanke'na, kagri sondia vahe'ma knare huno rama'ama mani'nesazana amne 2tauseni'a hosi afura kamisnuge'za agumpina mani'za vugahazanagi nagrama antahuana e'inahu avamentera sondia vaheka'a omani'naze.

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

Hagi kagrama Isipi vahe'mokizmi karisine, hosi afu agumpima mani'za ha'ma nehaza sondia vaheku'ma antahinezaminana, inanka hunka tagripintira mago agi omaneno, amne sondia vahera hara hugateregahane?

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.’”

Hagi mago'anena nagra navesite e'na hara eme hugante'na mopaka'a eri haviza hunakura ome'noe. Ra Anumzamo hunanteno vunka ha' ome huzmantenka mopazamia eri haviza huo huno hige'na e'noe.

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.”

Hagi Hilkia nemofo Eliakimi'ma, Sebna'ma, Joasi'ma hu'za anankema nentahi'za, Asiria sondia vahete'ma ugota hu'nea sondia ne' Rabsakena amanage hu'za asmi'naze, tagra kagri eri'za vahe mani'nonanki Asiria vahe'mokizmi zamagerupinti tasamio. Na'ankure tagra ana tamagerura antahinone. Hagi Hibru tagerupintira ontasamio, kagrama anama hnanke'za kuma keginamofo agofetu'ma mani'naza vahe'mo'za hanana nanekea antahigahaze hu'za hu'naze.

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.”

Hianagi ana sondia vahete kva ne'mo'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Kvani'amo'ma hunantege'na e'noana tamagri 3'a nagate'ene kini tamimofontegagera ama nanekea atreramantege'na eri'na ome'noanki, anama kegina agofetu'ma mani'naza vahemo'zanena amne ananke'a antahighaze.

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

Hagi anante ana sondia vahete kva ne'mo'a otino Hibru vahe'mokizmi zamagerupinti kezatino amanage huno zamasami'ne, tamagra amarega tamagesa ante'neta hankave kini ne' Asiria kini ne'mofonkea antahiho!

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

Hagi Asiria kini ne'mo'a amanage huno hu'ne, Tamagra atrenkeno Hezekaia'a reramatga osino, agra muhara osu'neankino nagri nazampintira tamagura ovazigahie.

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

Hagi Hezekaia'ma huno Ra Anumzamo'a taza hanigeta knare huta manisunke'za Asiria vahe'mo'za Jerusalemi rankumara hara huragatere'za e'origahazanki Ra Anumzamofontega tamentinti hihoma huno tutu huramantesia kegura antahiomiho.

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,

Hagi tamagra Hezekaia nanekea antahimita ha'mahu tamagesa ontahiho. Asiria kini ne'mo'a huno tamagrama natresage'nama kumatmima erisu'na, nagra amne tamatresugetma, waini hozatmifintira wainia tagita nenetma, fiki zafa ragatamia tagitma nenetma, tinkeri tamifintira tina afitma negahaze.

Sankhani moyo osati imfa! “Musamvere zonena Hezekiya, pakuti iye akukusocheretsani ponena kuti, ‘Yehova adzatipulumutsa.’

Hagi ana hutma kofta kna'afi mani'nesnage'na, nagra eme tamavre'na vu'na tamagri mopagna mopama, witi ragane waini timo'ene, bretine waini hozamo'ene, olivi zafamo'ene tumerimo'ma tusizama hu'nea mopa ome tamihanugeta ofrita umanigahaze. E'ina hu'negu Hezekaiama huno, Ra Anumzamo tagu'vazigahie huno havigema nehia kagura ontahiho.

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

Hagi mago kaziga mopare anumzamo'a vahe'a zamagu vazige'za Asiria kinia hara hu'za agaterenazafi? A'o mago kuma'mo'e huno anara osu'ne.

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

Hagi Hamati rankuma'ma, Arpati rankuma'ma, Sefarvaimi rankuma'ma, Hena rankum'ma, Iva rankuma'enema, tagrama vuta ha'ma huzmante'nonana anumza zamimo'za iga mani'ne'za zamaza osu'naze. Hagi Sameria kuma'ma ha'ma huzmante'nonana anumzazmimo'a zamagura ovazi'ne.

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?”

Hagi mago'a kuma'ma ha'ma huzmante'nonana anumza zamimo'a mago kumare huno zamaza hige'za hara huragateore'naze. E'ina hu'negu inankna huno Ra Anumzamo'a tamazahina tagrira hara huragatereta Jerusalemi kumara agura vazigahaze?

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

Hagi ana Asiria sondia vahete kva ne'mo'ma keagama hu'neana zamagra akohe'za mani'ne'za keaga'arera magore hu'za kenona'a osu'naze. Na'ankure kini ne' Hezekaia'a zamasamino, Keaga'arera mago kea nona osiho huno huzmante'nege'za anara hu'naze.

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.
