1 Nʼoge ahụ, Merodak-Baladan, nwa Baladan, bụ eze Babilọn zigaara Hezekaya akwụkwọ ozi ekele na onyinye, nʼihi na ọ nụrụ na Hezekaya rịara ọrịa ma nwe ahụ ike.
Ngalesosikhathi uMerodakhi-Bhaladani indodana kaBhaladani inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, wathumela izincwadi lesipho kuHezekhiya, ngoba wayezwile ngokugula kwakhe lokusila kwakhe.
2 Hezekaya nabatara ndị ozi ahụ nke ọma gosi ha ihe ndị dị nʼụlọakụ ya, ọlaọcha, na ọlaedo, ụda dị iche iche na-esi isi ụtọ, ezigbo mmanụ oliv, ụlọ niile ebe ngwa agha ya niile dị, na ihe niile bụ akụ o nwere. Ọ dịghị ihe dị nʼụlọeze ya maọbụ nʼalaeze ya niile nke ọ na-egosighị ha.
UHezekhiya wazamukela izithunywa ngokuthaba, wazitshengisa okwakusendlini yakhe yokugcinela impahla, isiliva, igolide, iziyoliso, amafutha acengekileyo, izikhali zakhe zonke, lakho konke okwakukhona enothweni yakhe. Akulalutho esigodlweni sakhe loba embusweni wakhe wonke angazitshengisanga khona.
3 Mgbe ahụ, Aịzaya onye amụma jekwuru eze Hezekaya jụọ ya sị, “Gịnị ka ndị ikom ndị ahụ kwuru? Ebeekwa ka ha si bịakwute gị?” Hezekaya zara sị, “Ọ bụ nʼala dị anya ka ha si bịakwute m, ha si Babilọn.”
Ngakho u-Isaya umphrofethi waya kuHezekhiya inkosi wambuza wathi, “Atheni amadoda lawana, njalo avela ngaphi?” UHezekhiya waphendula wathi, “Avela elizweni elikhatshana. Aze kimi evela eBhabhiloni.”
4 Onye amụma jụrụ, “Gịnị ka ha hụrụ nʼụlọ gị?” Hezekaya zara sị, “Ihe niile nke dị nʼụlọ m ka ha hụrụ. Ọ dịghị ihe niile dị nʼụlọakụ m nke m na-egosighị ha.”
Umphrofethi wabuza wathi, “Aboneni esigodlweni sakho?” UHezekhiya wathi, “Abone konke okusesigodlweni sami. Akulalutho phakathi kwempahla zami eziligugu engingawatshengisanga khona.”
5 Mgbe ahụ, Aịzaya sịrị Hezekaya, “Gee ntị nụrụ okwu Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile.
Ngakho u-Isaya wasesithi kuHezekhiya, “Zwana ilizwi likaThixo uSomandla lithi:
6 Lee, oge na-abịa mgbe a ga-eburu ihe niile dị nʼụlọeze gị, na ihe niile nke nna nna gị ha debere nʼụlọakụ ruo taa, buru ha bulaa Babilọn. Ọ dịkwaghị ihe ga-afọdụ, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
Isikhathi sizafika sibili lapho konke okusesigodlweni sakho lakho konke oyihlo abakugcinayo kusiyafika lolosuku, kuzathwalelwa eBhabhiloni. Akuyikusala lutho, kutsho uThixo.
7 A ga-ebupụ ụfọdụ nʼime ụmụ gị, ndị bụ ahụ na ọbara gị, ndị a ga-amụtara gị, buru ha pụọ nʼebe dị anya, ha ga-abụ ndị onozi nʼụlọeze nke eze Babilọn.”
Njalo abanye besizukulwane sakho, abenyama legazi lakho, abazazalwa nguwe, bazathathwa bayekuba ngabathenwa esigodlweni senkosi yaseBhabhiloni.”
8 Hezekaya zaghachiri, “Okwu Onyenwe anyị nke i kwuru dị mma.” Nʼihi na o chere nʼobi ya sị, “Udo na nchekwa ga-adị nʼoge ndụ m.”
UHezekhiya waphendula wathi, “Ilizwi likaThixo olikhulumileyo lilungile.” Ngoba wayenakana esithi, “Kuzakuba lokuthula lokuvikeleka ekuphileni kwami.”
