2 Athamaki 20
1 Matukũ-inĩ macio Hezekia akĩrwara, na aarĩ hakuhĩ gũkua. Mũnabii Isaia mũrũ wa Amozu agĩthiĩ kũrĩ we, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Thondeka maũndũ ma mũciĩ waku, tondũ nĩũgũkua, ndũkũhona.”
Masiku amenewo Hezekiya anadwala ndipo anali pafupi kufa. Mneneri Yesaya, mwana wa Amozi anapita kukamuona ndipo anamuwuza kuti, “Yehova akuti: Konza nyumba yako chifukwa umwalira ndipo suchira.”
2 Hezekia akĩhũgũra ũthiũ wake, akĩrora rũthingo-inĩ, na akĩhooya Jehova, akiuga atĩrĩ,
Hezekiya anatembenuka nayangʼana ku khoma ndipo anapemphera kwa Yehova kuti,
3 “Wee Jehova, ririkana ũrĩa ngoretwo ngĩthiĩ na mĩthiĩre ya kwĩhokeka mbere yaku, na ngeheana na ngoro yakwa yothe, na ngeeka ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ maku.” Nake Hezekia akĩrĩra mũno.
“Inu Yehova, kumbukirani ndithu mmene ndayendera mokhulupirika ndi mtima wonse ndipo ndachita zolungama pamaso panu.” Hezekiya analira kwambiri.
4 Isaia atanakinya nja ya gatagatĩ-rĩ, kiugo kĩa Jehova gĩkĩmũkinyĩra, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
Yesaya asanatuluke mʼbwalo lapakati, Yehova anayankhula kuti,
5 “Cooka, ũkeere Hezekia mũtongoria wa andũ akwa atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova Ngai wa thoguo Daudi ekuuga ũũ: Nĩnjiguĩte ihooya rĩaku, na ngoona maithori maku; nĩngũkũhonia. Mũthenya wa ĩtatũ kuuma rĩu nĩũkambata ũthiĩ hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova.
“Bwerera, kamuwuze Hezekiya mtsogoleri wa anthu anga kuti, ‘Yehova Mulungu wa Davide kholo lako akuti: Ndamva pemphero lako ndipo misozi yako ndayiona ndipo ndidzakuchiritsa. Tsiku lachitatu kuchokera lero udzapita ku Nyumba ya Yehova.
6 Nĩngũkuongerera mĩaka ikũmi na ĩtano ya gũtũũra muoyo. Na nĩngũkũhonokia hamwe na itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene kuuma guoko-inĩ kwa mũthamaki wa Ashuri. Nĩngũgitĩra itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene nĩ ũndũ wakwa, na nĩ ũndũ wa Daudi ndungata yakwa.’”
Ndidzawonjezera zaka khumi ndi zisanu pa moyo wako. Ndidzakupulumutsa iwe pamodzi ndi mzinda umenewu mʼdzanja la mfumu ya ku Asiriya. Ndidzateteza mzinda umenewu chifukwa cha Ine mwini ndiponso chifukwa cha Davide mtumiki wanga.’”
7 Ningĩ Isaia akiuga atĩrĩ, “Thondekai gĩkũmba kĩa ngũyũ.” Nao magĩĩka o ũguo, na magĩkĩigĩrĩra ihũha-inĩ rĩu, nake Hezekia akĩhona.
Pamenepo Yesaya anati, “Konzani phala lankhuyu.” Iwo anakonza phalalo nalipaka pa chithupsacho ndipo Hezekiya anachira.
8 Hezekia nĩoorĩtie Isaia atĩrĩ, “Kĩmenyithia gĩgaakorwo kĩrĩ kĩrĩkũ kĩa atĩ Jehova nĩekũũhonia, na atĩ nĩngambata thiĩ hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova mũthenya wa gatatũ kuuma ũmũthĩ?”
Tsono Hezekiya anafunsa Yesaya kuti, “Kodi padzakhala chizindikiro chanji choonetsa kuti Yehova adzandichiritsa ndi kuti ndidzapita ku Nyumba ya Yehova pa tsiku lachitatu kuchokera lero lino?”
9 Nake Isaia akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩmenyithia kĩrĩa Jehova egũkũhe, kĩa atĩ Jehova nĩegwĩka ũndũ ũcio akwĩrĩire: Ũkwenda kĩĩruru gĩthiĩ mbere makinya ikũmi, kana gĩcooke thuutha makinya ikũmi?”
Yesaya anayankha kuti, “Chizindikiro cha Yehova chosonyeza kuti Iye adzachita chimene walonjeza ndi ichi: Kodi chithunzithunzi chipite patsogolo kapena chibwerere pambuyo makwerero khumi?”
10 Nake Hezekia akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kĩĩruru gũthiĩ na mbere makinya ikũmi nĩ ũndũ mũhũthũ, nĩ kaba kĩĩruru gĩcooke na thuutha makinya ikũmi.”
Hezekiya anati, “Nʼchapafupi kuti chithunzithunzi chipite patsogolo makwerero khumi, kulekana nʼkuti chithunzithunzicho chibwerere mʼmbuyo makwerero khumi.”
11 Nake mũnabii Isaia agĩkaĩra Jehova, nake Jehova agĩtũma kĩĩruru gĩcooke na thuutha makinya macio ikũmi marĩa gĩaikũrũkĩte ngathĩ-inĩ ya Ahazu.
Pamenepo mneneri Yesaya anapemphera kwa Yehova ndipo Yehova anachititsa kuti chithunzithunzi chibwerere mʼmbuyo makwerero khumi pa makwerero amene mfumu Ahazi anamanga.
12 Ihinda-inĩ rĩu-rĩ, Merodaki-Baladani mũrũ wa Baladani mũthamaki wa Babuloni nĩatũmĩire Hezekia marũa na kĩheo, tondũ nĩaiguĩte ũhoro wa ndwari ya Hezekia.
Pa nthawi imeneyo Merodaki-Baladani mwana wa Baladani mfumu ya Babuloni anatumiza amithenga kwa Hezekiya kukapereka makalata ndi mphatso, chifukwa nʼkuti atamva za kudwala kwa Hezekiyayo.
13 Hezekia akĩamũkĩra andũ arĩa maatũmĩtwo, na akĩmoonia indo ciothe iria aigĩte makũmbĩ make, akĩmoonia betha, na thahabu, na mahuti marĩa manungi wega, na maguta marĩa mega mũno, na indo ciake cia mbaara, na indo ciothe iria ciarĩ igĩĩna-inĩ ciake. Gũtirĩ kĩndũ o na kĩmwe thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya ũthamaki kana kĩarĩ ũthamaki-inĩ wake wothe Hezekia ataamoonirie.
Hezekiya analandira amithengawo ndipo anawaonetsa zonse zimene zinali mʼnyumba zake zosungiramo chuma. Anawaonetsa siliva, golide, zonunkhiritsa zakudya ndi mafuta abwino kwambiri, zida zake zankhondo ndiponso china chilichonse chimene chinali mosungiramo zinthu zake. Panalibe chinthu mʼnyumba yake yaufumu kapena mu ufumu wake wonse chimene Hezekiya sanawaonetse.
14 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũnabii Isaia agĩthiĩ kũrĩ Mũthamaki Hezekia akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Andũ acio moiga atĩa, na mekuumĩte kũ?” Nake Hezekia agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Moimĩte bũrũri wa kũraya, megũkĩte kuuma bũrũri wa Babuloni.”
Tsono mneneri Yesaya anapita kwa Mfumu Hezekiya namufunsa kuti, “Kodi anthu aja anakuwuzani zotani ndipo anachokera kuti?” Hezekiya anayankha kuti, “Anachokera ku dziko lakutali, ku Babuloni.”
15 Nake mũnabii akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ monire nyũmba-inĩ yaku ya ũthamaki?” Nake Hezekia agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Monire indo ciothe nyũmba-inĩ yakwa ya ũthamaki. Gũtirĩ kĩndũ o na kĩmwe kĩrĩ igĩĩna-inĩ ciakwa itanamonia.”
Mneneriyo anafunsa kuti, “Kodi anaona chiyani mʼnyumba yanu yaufumu?” Hezekiya anayankha kuti, “Anaona china chilichonse mʼnyumba yanga yaufumu ndipo palibe ndi chinthu chimodzi chomwe chimene sindinawaonetse mʼnyumba zanga zosungiramo chuma.”
16 Nake Isaia akĩĩra Hezekia atĩrĩ, “Ta igua kiugo kĩa Jehova:
Pamenepo Yesaya anawuza Hezekiya kuti, “Imvani zimene Yehova akunena:
17 Ti-itherũ ihinda nĩrĩgakinya, rĩrĩa indo ciothe iria irĩ thĩinĩ wa nyũmba yaku ya ũthamaki, na indo iria ciothe maithe maku matũire maigĩte nginya ũmũthĩ, ĩgaakuuo itwarwo Babuloni. Gũtirĩ o na kĩmwe gĩgaatigara, ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
Taonani, masiku akubwera ndithu pamene zonse za mʼnyumba yanu yaufumu, zonse zimene makolo anu anazisunga mpaka lero, zidzatengedwa kupita ku Babuloni. Palibe chimene chidzatsale, akutero Yehova.
18 Na andũ amwe a rũciaro rwaku, o arĩa moimĩte mũthiimo-inĩ na thakame-inĩ yaku, o arĩa wee ũgũciara, nĩmagathaamio, na nĩmakaahakũrwo nĩguo matungatage nyũmba-inĩ ya mũthamaki wa Babuloni.”
Ndipo ena mwa ana anu omwe, amene mudzabereke adzatengedwa ndipo adzawasandutsa anthu ofulidwa mʼnyumba yaufumu ya mfumu ya Babuloni.”
19 Nake Hezekia agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Kiugo kĩa Jehova kĩrĩa waria nĩ kĩega,” Tondũ eeciiririe atĩrĩ, “Githĩ gũtigũkorwo na thayũ na ũgitĩri matukũ-inĩ mothe ma muoyo wakwa?”
Hezekiya anayankha kuti, “Mawu a Yehova amene mwayankhulawa ndi abwino. Pakuti iye ankaganiza kuti, ‘Kodi pa nthawi yanga sipadzakhala mtendere ndi bata?’”
20 Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Hezekia, na marĩa mothe eekire, na ũrĩa aathondekire Karia, o na mũtaro wa kũrehe maaĩ itũũra-inĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Juda?
Ntchito zina za Hezekiya ndi zonse zimene anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Yuda?
21 Nake Hezekia akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make. Nake mũriũ Manase agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
Hezekiya anamwalira nagona pamodzi ndi makolo ake. Ndipo Manase mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
