Fiawo 2 18
1 Le Israel fia, Hosea, Ela ƒe vi ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe etɔ̃lia me la, Yuda fia, Ahaz ƒe viŋutsu Hezekia zu fia.
Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wesithathu kaHosheya indodana kaEla, inkosi yakoIsrayeli, uHezekhiya indodana kaAhazi inkosi yakoJuda waba yinkosi.
2 Edze fiaɖuɖu gɔme esi wòxɔ ƒe blaeve vɔ atɔ̃. Eɖu fia ƒe blaeve-vɔ-asiekɛ le Yerusalem. Dadaa ŋkɔe nye Abiya, Zekaria ƒe vinyɔnu.
Wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lanhlanu lapho esiba yinkosi; wabusa iminyaka engamatshumi amabili lesificamunwemunye eJerusalema. Lebizo likanina lalinguAbhi indodakazi kaZekhariya.
3 Eɖu fia nyuie le Mawu ƒe ŋkume abe fofoa, David ene.
Wasesenza okulungileyo emehlweni eNkosi njengakho konke uDavida uyise akwenzayo.
4 Hezekia gbã nuxeƒe siwo nɔ toawo dzi kple woƒe aƒeliwo. Eho aƒeliwo, hegbã akɔblida si Mose wɔ eye wona ŋkɔe be Nehustan elabena va se ɖe fifia la, Israelviwo gadoa dzudzɔ nɛ.
Yena wasusa indawo eziphakemeyo, wabhidliza insika eziyizithombe, wagamula izixuku, wachoboza inyoka yethusi uMozisi ayeyenzile, ngoba kuze kube yilezonsuku abantwana bakoIsrayeli babeyitshisela impepha; wayibiza ngokuthi nguNehushitani.
5 Exɔ Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la dzi se kple dzi blibo eye fia siwo do ŋgɔ nɛ kple esiwo kplɔe ɖo la dometɔ aɖeke menɔ Yehowa ŋu kplikplikpli kpɔ abe eya ene o.
Wathembela eNkosini, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli; okwathi emva kwakhe kakubanga khona onjengaye emakhosini wonke akoJuda, loba ayengaphambi kwakhe.
6 Elé ɖe Yehowa ŋu eye megbugbɔ le eyome o. Elé se siwo katã Yehowa de na Mose la me ɖe asi.
Ngoba wanamathela eNkosini, kaphambukanga ekuyilandeleni, kodwa wagcina imilayo yayo iNkosi eyayilaya uMozisi.
7 Yehowa nɔ kplii eye wòna nu sia nu si wòwɔ la dze edzi nɛ. Etso ɖe Asiria fia ŋu eye mesubɔe o.
LeNkosi yaba laye; loba ngaphi lapho aphumela khona waphumelela. Wavukela inkosi yeAsiriya, kayisebenzelanga.
8 Hezekia ɖu Filistitɔwo dzi tso gbetakpɔxɔ dzi va se ɖe du siwo woɖo gli ƒo xlãe la dzi; eɖu Filistitɔwo dzi yi ɖe Gaza kple eƒe nutowo me ke.
Yena watshaya amaFilisti waze wafika eGaza lemingcele yayo, kusukela emphotshongweni wabalindi kuze kube semzini obiyelweyo.
9 Le eƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe enelia si nye Fia Hosea, Ela vi, ƒe fiaɖuɖu le Israel ƒe ƒe adrelia me la, Asiria fia, Salmaneser, ho aʋa ɖe Israel ŋu eye wòɖe to ɖe Samaria du la.
Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wesine wenkosi uHezekhiya, owawungumnyaka wesikhombisa kaHosheya indodana kaEla, inkosi yakoIsrayeli, uShalimaneseri inkosi yeAsiriya wenyuka wamelana leSamariya, wayivimbezela.
10 Le ƒe etɔ̃ megbe, si nye Fia Hezekia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe adelia kple Israel fia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe asiekɛlia me la, woɖu Samaria dzi.
Basebeyithumba ekupheleni kweminyaka emithathu. Ngomnyaka wesithupha kaHezekhiya, owawungumnyaka wesificamunwemunye kaHosheya inkosi yakoIsrayeli, iSamariya yathunjwa.
11 Ɣe ma ɣie Asiria fia ɖe aboyo Israelviwo yi Asiria eye wòda wo ɖe Hala du la me kple teƒe siwo le Habor tɔsisi la to le Gozan kple Mediatɔwo ƒe duwo me.
Inkosi yeAsiriya yathumbela uIsrayeli eAsiriya, yababeka eHala leHabori umfula weGozani, lemizini yamaMede.
12 Eva eme alea elabena Israelviwo gbe toɖoɖo Yehowa, woƒe Mawu la eye womewɔ nu si wòdi be woawɔ la o, ke boŋ woda le eƒe nubabla la dzi eye wogbe se siwo katã Mose, Yehowa ƒe dɔla de na wo la dzi wɔwɔ.
Ngoba bengalilalelanga ilizwi leNkosi uNkulunkulu wabo, kodwa baseqa isivumelwano sayo, konke uMozisi inceku yeNkosi eyayikulayile; kabalalelanga, kabenzanga.
13 Emegbe le Fia Hezekia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe wuienelia me la, Asiria fia, Senakerib ɖe to ɖe Yuda du siwo katã woglã la eye wòɖu wo dzi.
Langomnyaka wetshumi lane wenkosi uHezekhiya, uSenakheribi inkosi yeAsiriya wenyuka wamelana layo yonke imizi yakoJuda ebiyelweyo, wayithumba.
14 Fia Hezekia ɖe kuku, bia ŋutifafa eye wòɖo du ɖe Asiria fia le Lakis be, “Meda vo eya ta maxe fe ɖe sia ɖe si nàbla nam ne àdzo le nye anyigba dzi ko.” Ale Asiria fia bia be wòaxe klosalo kilo akpe ewo kple sika kilo akpe ɖeka na ye.
UHezekhiya inkosi yakoJuda wasethumela enkosini yeAsiriya eLakishi esithi: Ngonile; buyela usuke kimi; okubeka phezu kwami ngizakuthwala. Inkosi yeAsiriya yasibeka phezu kukaHezekhiya inkosi yakoJuda amathalenta esiliva angamakhulu amathathu, lamathalenta angamatshumi amathathu egolide.
15 Hena ga home sia kpɔkpɔ la, Fia Hezekia dzra klosalo si wodzra ɖo ɖe gbedoxɔ la kple fiasã la ƒe nudzraɖoƒewo me.
UHezekhiya wasemnika sonke isiliva esatholakala endlini kaJehova lenothweni yendlu yenkosi.
16 Etsɔ sika si wofa ɖe gbedoxɔ la ƒe ʋɔtruwo ŋu kple esi eya ŋutɔ fa ɖe ʋɔtrutiwo ŋu gɔ̃ hã la katã na Asiria fia.
Ngalesosikhathi uHezekhiya waquma igolide ezivalweni zethempeli leNkosi, lemigubazini uHezekhiya inkosi yakoJuda ayekunamathisele, walinika inkosi yeAsiriya.
17 Togbɔ be Fia Hezekia wɔ nu sia hã la, Asiria fia ɖo eƒe aʋafia, aʋakplɔlawo ƒe amegã, gadzikpɔlawo ƒe tatɔ kple asrafo siwo le gbedzi la ƒe amegã ɖa tso Lakis kple aʋakɔ gã aɖe ɖe Fia Hezekia gbɔ le Yerusalem. Esi wova ɖo Yerusalem la, woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe mɔ gã la to le afi si woɖaa avɔ le le Dzigbeta la to.
Inkosi yeAsiriya yasithuma uTharithani loRabi-Sarisi loRabi-Shake besuka eLakishi besiya enkosini uHezekhiya belebutho elinzima eJerusalema. Benyuka-ke bafika eJerusalema. Sebenyuke bafika bema emgelweni wechibi eliphezulu, elisemgwaqweni omkhulu wensimu yomwatshi.
18 Wobia tso Fia Hezekia si be wòava ƒo nu kple yewo, ke Hezekia ɖo Eliakim, Hilkia ƒe vi si nye eƒe asitsanyawo dzi kpɔla, Sebna, eƒe nuŋlɔla kple Yoa, Asaf ƒe vi, dukɔwo ƒe ŋutinyanyala ɖa be woabia ŋutifafa.
Sebebize inkosi, kwaphumela kibo uEliyakhimi indodana kaHilikhiya owayengumphathi wendlu, loShebina umbhali, loJowa indodana kaAsafi umabhalane.
19 Aʋafia la gblɔ na wo be, “Gblɔ na Hezekia be, “Ale Asiria fia, fiagã la gblɔe nye esi: ‘Nu ka dzie nètu wò dzideƒo sia ɖo?
URabi-Shake wasesithi kibo: Khulumani khathesi kuHezekhiya: Itsho njalo inkosi enkulu, inkosi yeAsiriya ithi: Yisibindi bani lesi, othembela kuso?
20 Ègblɔ be, aʋawɔmɔnuwo kple aʋawɔwɔ ƒe ŋusẽ le ye si, ke nya dzodzrowo ko gblɔm nèle. Ame ka ŋue nèle ŋu ɖom ɖo hafi dze aglã ɖe ŋunye?
Uthi, kodwa yilizwi lendebe nje: Kulecebo lamandla empi. Usuthembe bani ukuthi ungivukele?
21 Kpɔ ɖa, azɔ la, èle ŋu ɖom ɖe Egipte ŋu, Egipte si nye aƒla ŋeŋe si tɔa asi na ame, dea abi ame ŋu ne èziɔ ɖe eŋu. Nenema tututue Farao, Egipte fia le ɖe ame sia ame si ɖoa ŋu ɖe eŋu la ŋuti.
Khangela-ke, wena uthembele odondolweni lomhlanga owephukileyo, oluyiGibhithe, uba umuntu eseyama phezu kwalo, luzangena esandleni sakhe lusihlabe. Unjalo uFaro inkosi yeGibhithe kubo bonke abathembela kuye.
22 Ne ègblɔ be, “Míele ŋu ɖom ɖe Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la ŋu” la, ɖe menye eya ƒe nuxeƒewo kple vɔsamlekpuiwoe Hezekia gbã, hegblɔ na Yuda kple Yerusalem be, “Ele na mi be miasubɔ le vɔsamlekpui sia ŋgɔ le Yerusalem” oa?
Kodwa uba lisithi kimi: ENkosini uNkulunkulu wethu siyathemba; angithi yiyo elezindawo zayo eziphakemeyo lamalathi ayo uHezekhiya awasusileyo, wathi kuJuda leJerusalema: Phambi kwalelilathi lizakhonza eJerusalema?
23 “‘Va azɔ ne nàtso gbe kple nye aƒetɔ Asiria fia. Matsɔ sɔ akpe eve na wò ne àte ŋu akpɔ wo dolawo ko!
Ngakho-ke, akunike isibambiso enkosini yami, inkosi yeAsiriya, njalo ngizakunika amabhiza azinkulungwane ezimbili, uba wena ulakho ukunika abagadi bawo.
24 Togbɔ be nèle dzi ɖom ɖe Egipte ŋu be wòana tasiaɖamwo kple sɔdolawo wò hã la, aleke nàte ŋu awɔ aɖu nye aƒetɔ ƒe aʋafiawo dometɔ suetɔ gɔ̃ hã dzi?
Pho, uzabuyisela emuva njani ubuso benduna eyodwa yabancinyane nje benceku zenkosi yami; wena-ke uthembele eGibhithe ngezinqola labagadi bamabhiza?
25 Gawu la, ɖe meva be madze teƒe sia dzi atsrɔ̃e ne nyemexɔ gbe tso Yehowa gbɔ oa? Yehowa ŋutɔe gblɔ nam be mava ƒo ɖe dukɔ sia dzi ne matsrɔ̃e.’”
Kambe ngenyukile yini ukumelana lalindawo ngingelaJehova ukuyichitha? UJehova uthe kimi: Yenyuka umelane lalelilizwe, ulichithe.
26 Eliakim, Hilkia ƒe vi, Sebna kple Yoa gblɔ na wo be, “Míeɖe kuku ƒo nu na mí le Aramgbe me elabena míese Aramgbe. Migaƒo nu na mí le Hebrigbe me o: ame siwo le glia dzi la ava se míaƒe nyawo.”
UEliyakhimi indodana kaHilikhiya loShebina loJowa basebesithi kuRabi-Shake: Akukhulume lenceku zakho ngesiSiriya, ngoba siyasizwa; ungakhulumi lathi ngesiJuda endlebeni zabantu abasemdulini.
27 Ke Asiriatɔwo ƒe aʋafia la ɖo eŋu be, “Ɖe nye aƒetɔ ɖom ɖa be maƒo nu na mi kple miaƒe aƒetɔ koa? Ɖe meɖom ɖe ame siwo le glia dzi la hã gbɔ oa? Elabena evɔ na wo abe miawo ke ene. Woaɖu woawo ŋutɔ ƒe afɔdzi eye woano woawo ŋutɔ ƒe aɖuɖɔ!”
Kodwa uRabi-Shake wathi kubo: Inkosi yami ingithumile yini enkosini yakho lakuwe ukukhuluma lamazwi? Kakusebantwini yini abahlezi phezu komduli ukuze badle ubulongwe babo, banathe umchamo wabo kanye lani?
28 Tete aʋafiagã la te va hedo ɣli gblɔ le Hebrigbe me be, “Mise Asiria fia, fiagã la ƒe nya!
URabi-Shake wasesima wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu ngesiJuda, wakhuluma esithi: Zwanini ilizwi lenkosi enkulu, inkosi yeAsiriya.
29 Ale fia la gblɔe nye esi, migana Hezekia nable mi o. Mate ŋu aɖe mi tso nye asi me o!
Itsho njalo inkosi: UHezekhiya kangalikhohlisi, ngoba kayikuba lakho ukulikhulula esandleni sayo.
30 Migana Hezekia nable mia nu be, miɖo dzi ɖe Yehowa ŋu o, esime wògblɔ be, ‘Yehowa aɖe mi godoo; womatsɔ du sia ade asi na Asiria fia o.’
Njalo uHezekhiya angalenzi lithembele eNkosini esithi: INkosi izasikhulula lokusikhulula, lalumuzi kawuyikunikelwa esandleni senkosi yeAsiriya.
31 “Migaɖo to Fia Hezekia o. Nya si Asiria fia gblɔe nye esi: Miwɔ ŋutifafa kplim eye miava gbɔnye. Ekema mia dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe aɖu nu tso eya ŋutɔ ƒe wain kple gboti me eye wòano tsi tso eya ŋutɔ ƒe vudo me
Lingamlaleli uHezekhiya, ngoba itsho njalo inkosi yeAsiriya: Yenzani isivumelwano sokuthula lami, liphume lize kimi; dlanini-ke, ngulowo lalowo okwevini lakhe langulowo lalowo okomkhiwa wakhe, linathe, ngulowo lalowo amanzi omthombo wakhe;
32 va se ɖe esime mava akplɔ mi ayi anyigba si ɖi mia tɔ la dzi, anyigba si dzi bli kple wain yeye le, afi si abolo bɔ ɖo eye waingblewo le, afi si amitiwo kple anyitsi le. Mitia agbe, ke menye ku o! “Migaɖo to Hezekia o, elabena ele mia flum ne egblɔ be, ‘Yehowa axɔ na mí.’
ngize ngifike ngilithathe ngilise elizweni elifanana lelizwe lakini, ilizwe lamabele lewayini elitsha, ilizwe lesinkwa lezivini, ilizwe lamafutha emihlwathi loluju, ukuze liphile lingafi. Lingamlaleli uHezekhiya ngoba eliyenga esithi: INkosi izasikhulula.
33 Dukɔ bubu aɖe ƒe mawuwo ɖe eƒe amewo tso Asiria fia ƒe asi me kpɔa?
Onkulunkulu bezizwe sebake bawakhulula yini ngulowo lalowo ilizwe lakhe esandleni senkosi yeAsiriya?
34 Nya kae dzɔ ɖe Hamat, Arpad, Sefarvaim, Hena kple Iva ƒe mawuwo dzi? Ɖe woɖe Samaria?
Bangaphi onkulunkulu beHamathi leArpadi? Bangaphi onkulunkulu beSefavayimi, beHena, leIva? Kambe bayikhulule yini iSamariya esandleni sami?
35 Ke mawuwo dometɔ kawoe le dukɔ siawo katã me si te ŋu ɖe eƒe anyigba tso nye asi me kpɔ hafi Yehowa ya ate ŋu aɖe Yerusalem tso nye asi me?”
Ngobani kubo bonke onkulunkulu balawomazwe abakhulule ilizwe labo esandleni sami, ukuthi iNkosi ikhulule iJerusalema esandleni sami?
36 Ke ame siwo nɔ glia dzi la meke nu o, elabena woƒe fia de se na wo be, womegagblɔ nya aɖeke o.
Kodwa abantu bathula, kabaze bamphendula lalizwi, ngoba umlayo wenkosi wawuyikuthi: Lingamphenduli.
37 Azɔ la, Eliakim, Hilkia ƒe vi, asitsanyawo dzikpɔla la kple Sebna, fia ƒe nuŋlɔla kple Yoa, Asaf ƒe vi, dukɔwo ƒe ŋutinyanyala dze woƒe awuwo eye woyi Fia Hezekia gbɔ hegblɔ nya siwo Asiriatɔwo ƒe aʋafia la gblɔ na wo la nɛ.
UEliyakhimi indodana kaHilikhiya owayengumphathi wendlu, loShebina umbhali, loJowa indodana kaAsafi umabhalane, basebesiza kuHezekhiya izigqoko zidatshuliwe, bamtshela amazwi kaRabi-Shake.
