1 Hagi Hesekia'ma agu'areti'ma huno Ra Anumzamofo kema antahino maka eri'zama eri vagama neregeno'a, Asiria kini ne' Senakeripi'a Juda vahera hara eme huzmanteno, hanavenentake vihu kegina me'nea kumatamina zamaheno hanareno kegava huzmanteku hu'ne.

Ngemva kwakho konke lokhu uHezekhiya ayekwenze ngokwethembeka, kweza uSenakheribhi inkosi yase-Asiriya wahlasela elakoJuda. Wavimbezela amadolobho ayelezinqaba, edinga ukuwanqoba abe ngawakhe.

2 Hagi Hesekai'ma keama Senakeripi'ma Jerusalemi rankuma'ma ankanireno ha'ma huzmantenaku'ma egeno'a,

UHezekhiya uthe ebona ukuthi uSenakheribhi usefikile njalo uhlose ukuhlasela iJerusalema,

3 megiati'ma Jerusalemi rankumapima enefrea tima rurega humitre antahintahi retro higeno, koroma osu hanave sondia vahe'amozane, ugota eri'za vahe'amo'za aza hu'za megiama me'nea tine, tinkeria renkanire'naze.

wabuza izikhulu zakhe kanye labebutho ukuthi kwakungaba njani ukuthi kuvalwe amanzi avela emithonjeni engaphandle kwedolobho, bahle bamncedisa.

4 Ana'ma nehazageno'a, tusi'a vahe'mo'za eme atru hu'za osi tintamine, ranra tintaminema maka anama'afima me'neana rurega ome humitre eme humi atre nehu'za amanage hu'naze, Asiria kini vahe'mo'za rama'a tina me'nenige'za eme nesagi renkaniresune.

Ixuku elikhulu lamadoda labuthana, lakanye bawavala amanzi awemthonjeni lawesifula esasidabula phakathi kwelizwe. Bathi, “Kungani amakhosi ase-Asiriya afanele afice amanzi amanengi na?”

5 Ana nehuno Hesekai'a Jerusalemi rankuma keginamo'ma havizama hu'neama'a eri so'e nehuno, kuma'ma kegavama hu zaza nona ana agofetu negino, ana have keginamofo amefira mago have kegina nehuno, Deviti kumapima mopamo'ma uraminerega tukeheno mopa kateno ante aviteno evu'ne. Ana nehuno ha'ma hu'zantamine, hankoraminena rama'a tro hu'ne.

Ngakho wasebenza ngamandla evuselela umduli lokwakha imiphotshongo phezu kwawo. Wakha omunye umduli ngaphandle kwalowo waseqinisa imithangala eyayivele ingeyoMuzi kaDavida. Wenza lezikhali lezihlangu ezinengi kakhulu.

6 Hagi sondia vahete kva vahera Jerusalemi rankumamofo kafante atruma nehazafi Hesekai'a zamazeri atru huno zamazeri hankaveti naneke amanage huno zamasami'ne,

Wabeka izikhulu zebutho zaphatha abantu wasezimisa phambi kwakhe egcekeni lesango elingasedolobheni wazikhuthaza ngalamazwi:

7 korora osuta hankavetita otiho. Asiria kini ne'ene rama'a sondia vahe'araminkura korora huta tamahirahikura osiho. Na'ankure tagri kazigama mani'nea ne'mofo hankavemo'a, agri kazigama mani'naza vahe'mofo hankavea razampi agatere'ne.

“Qinani libe lesibindi. Lingesabi njalo lingethuselwa libutho elikhulu kangaka lenkosi yase-Asiriya ngoba kulamandla amakhulu akithi adlula akuye.

8 Asiria kini ne'mofo kazigama mani'naza sondia vahera amne vahetfanke mani'naze. Hianagi Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamo tagri kaziga mani'neankino, taza huno ha' vahetia hara huzmantegahie. Hagi Juda kini ne' Hesekai'ma hiankema sondia vahe'mo'zama nentahi'za hankave eri'naze.

Yena ulengalo yenyama kuphela, kodwa thina siloThixo uNkulunkulu wethu ukusisiza lokusilwela izimpi zethu.” Abantu baba lesibindi ngenxa yalokho okwatshiwo yinkosi yakoJuda uHezekhiya.

9 Hagi mago'a kna evutegeno, Asiria kini ne' Senakeripi'a sondia vahe'ane vuno Lakisi kumate vahe'ene hara ome nehuno, Juda kini ne' Hesekaiantegane maka Juda vahetmima Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza vahetmintega amanage huno kea atrezmante'ne,

Muva, uSenakheribhi inkosi yase-Asiriya lawo wonke amabutho akhe esavimbezele eLakhishi, wathuma izikhulu zakhe eJerusalema ziphethe lelilizwi elalisiya kuHezekhiya inkosi yakoJuda kanye labantu bonke abakoJuda abebekhona lapho wathi:

10 Nagra Asiria kini ne' Senakeripi'na amanage hu'na tamantahigoe, tamagra nazante tamenarentinti hu'neta, Jerusalemi kumama avazagi kaginoana, ontahegahie huta mani'nazo?

“Nanku okutshiwo nguSenakheribhi inkosi yase-Asiriya uthi: Usithatha ngaphi wena isibindi, esokuthi wale ulokhu useJerusalema yona ivinjezelwe?

11 Tamagri kini ne' Hesekaia'a huno, Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamo'a Asiria kini ne' azampintira tamaguvazigahie huno neramasmie. Hianagi reramavatga nehiankita, nezanku'ene tinku'enena frigahaze.

Nxa uHezekhiya esithi, ‘UThixo uNkulunkulu wethu uzasisindisa ezandleni zenkosi yase-Asiriya,’ uyalikhohlisa, ukuba life ngendlala langomhawu wamanzi.

12 Hagi Hesekai'a agonafima mono'ma nehaza kumatamina eri haviza nehuno, kresramanama nevaza itaramina taganavazi netreno, Juda vahe'motane Jerusalemi vahe'mota magoke Kresramana vu itareke ofa eme Kresramana nevuta, monora hiho hu'ne.

UHezekhiya akasuye yini ngokwakhe owasusa izindawo zikankulunkulu lowu eziphakemeyo lama-alithare, esithi kuJuda leJerusalema, ‘Kumele likhonzele e-alithareni elilodwa njalo litshisele kulo imihlatshelo na’?

13 Hagi mago'a kumate vahetaminte'ma ko'ma nagehe'mo'zama hu'naza zane, nagrama menima nehua zana tamagra ontahi'nazo? Hagi ana vahetmina anumzazmimo'za zamaza hu'za nagri hanavefintira zamagura vazi'nazafi?

Kutsho ukuthi alikwazi yini lokho engikwenzileyo lalokho okwenziwa ngobaba ebantwini bamanye amazwe na? Kambe onkulunkulu balezozizwe benelisa yini ukukhulula ilizwe labo esandleni sami na?

14 Hagi magore huno ana havi anumzamo'za nagri nazampintira zamagura ovazi'naze. Hagi inankna huno nagri nazampintira, tamagri Anumzamo'a tamagura vazigahie?

Nguphi kubo bonke onkulunkulu bamazwe balezozizwe ezabhujiswa ngobaba owake wenelisa ukukhulula abantu bakhe kimi na? UNkulunkulu wenu angalikhulula njani esandleni sami?

15 E'ina hu'negu atrenkeno Hesekaia'a amanara huno reramavatga osino. Hagi agri kerera tamentintia osiho, na'ankure magore huno mago kumate vahera anumzazmimo'a nagri nazampinti'ene, nafahe'mokizmi zamazampintira zamagura ovazi'ne. E'ina hu'neankino tamagri Anumzamo'a nagri nazampintira tamagura ovazigahie.

Qaphelani lingakhohliswa nguHezekhiya limyekele elilahlekisa. Lingamethembi, ngoba kakho unkulunkulu loba ngowasiphi isizwe loba yiwuphi umbuso oseke wenelisa ukukhulula abantu bakhe esandleni sami loba esandleni sabokhokho. Pho kanganani ukuba owenu unkulunkulu angalikhulula yini esandleni sami!”

16 Anagema nehige'za, Senakeripi eri'za vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofone eri'za ne'a Hesekainena ke ha'rezanante'naze.

Izikhulu zikaSenakheribi zaqhubekela phambili zikhuluma kubi ngoThixo uNkulunkulu langenceku yakhe uHezekhiya.

17 Ana nehuno Senakeripi'a mago'a avonkreno Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamofona kiza zokago kea amanage huno hu havizana huno hufenkamitre'ne, Mago'a kumate vahe anumzamo'za zamazama osu'nazaza huno, Hesekaia Anumzamo'a nagri nazampintira tamagura ovazigahie.

Inkosi yaloba lezincwadi ithuka uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, isitsho lokhu okubi ngaye: “Njengoba onkulunkulu babantu bamanye amazwe behluleka ukukhulula abantu babo esandleni sami, kuyafanana kunjalo uNkulunkulu kaHezekhiya kasoze enelise ukukhulula abantu bakhe esandleni sami.”

18 Anagema huteno'a, Jerusalemi rankumamofo have kegina agofetuma mani'naza vahe'tmima Senakeripi eri'za vahe'mo'za zamazeri koro hu'za, ana rankuma'ma zamahe'za hanarenakura, Hibru vahe kefinti ranke hu'za kezati'zami'naze.

Basebememeza ngesiHebheru ebantwini baseJerusalema ababephezu komduli, bebethusela ukuze besabe babesebethumba idolobho.

19 Ana vahe'mo'za mago'a kumate vahe'mo'zama zamazanteti'ma tro'ma hu'naza havi anumzantaminku'ma hu'nazankna ke Jerusalemi kumate nemaniza vahe'mo'zama mono'ma hunentaza Anumzamofonkura hu'naze.

Bakhuluma ngoNkulunkulu weJerusalema njengalokho abakwenza ngabonkulunkulu babanye abantu bemhlabeni, izinto ezibunjwe yizandla zabantu.

20 Hagi anankema nentahikea, kini ne' Hezekai'a ene kasnampa ne' Emosi nemofo Aisaia'enena zanazama hanigura Ra Anumzamofontega nunamuna hu'na'e.

INkosi uHezekhiya lomphrofethi u-Isaya indodana ka-Amozi bakhala ngomkhuleko ngalokhu.

21 Ana'ma hakeno'a, Ra Anumzamo'a mago ankero huntegeno, maka sondia vahetamine, sondia vahete ugagota kva vahetmina Asiria kini nemofo seli nonkumapintira zamahe hana hu'ne. Ana higeno Sinakeripi'a agazegu nehuno atreno mopa'arega vuno havi anumzama'amofo nompima unefregeno'a, mago'a ne' mofavre naga'amo'za bainati kazinteti eme ahe fri'naze.

UThixo wathuma ingilosi, eyabhubhisa wonke amadoda empi labakhokheli lezikhulu enkambeni yenkosi yase-Asiriya. Ngakho wabuyela elizweni lakhe ngokuyangeka. Esengene ethempelini likankulunkulu wakhe, amanye amadodana akhe amjuqa ngenkemba.

22 Ana higeno Asiria kini ne' Senakerepi azampinti'ene, mago'a ha' vahetmimofo zamazampintira Hesekaiane, Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza vahetmina Ra Anumzamo'a zamagu nevazino, maka'zama hazazampina kegava huzmantege'za fru hu'za mani'naze.

Ngalokho uThixo wamsindisa uHezekhiya labantu baseJerusalema esandleni sikaSenakheribhi inkosi yase-Asiriya lakuzo zonke ezinye izitha. UThixo wabavikela wabaphatha kuhle inxa zonke.

23 Ana higeno rama'a vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofontega musezana eri'za Jerusalemi kumatera ne-eza, zago'amo marerisa muse zana Juda kini ne' Hesekaiana eri'za eme ami'naze. Ana'ma hutege'za mika kumate vahe'mo'za Hesekaiana ra agi amiza husga hunte'naze.

Abanengi balethela uThixo iminikelo eJerusalema kanye lezipho eziligugu kuHezekhiya inkosi yakoJuda. Kusukela lapho waba lesithunzi wahlonitshwa yizizwe zonke.

24 Hagi ana knafina Hesekaia'a kri erino fri'za hu'ne. Hagi ana'ma nehuno'a, Hesekaia'a Ra Anumzamofontega nunamu higeno, kri'amo'ma vagamarenogura Ra Anumzamo'a mago avame'za eri averi hu'ne.

Ngalezonsuku uHezekhiya wagula eselengela ekufeni. Wakhuleka kuThixo, wamphendula ngokumnika isibonakaliso.

25 Hianagi Hesekai'a avufga ra nehuno, Ra Anumzamo'ma knare'ma hunteno azama hia zankura, musena huonte'ne. E'ina higeno Ra Anumzamo'a agri'ene Juda vahetminku'ene, Jerusalemi kumate'ma nemaniza vahetminkura tusi arimpa ahezmante'ne.

Kodwa inhliziyo kaHezekhiya yagcwala ngokuzikhukhumeza ngakho kazange azihluphe ngesihawu ayesitshengisiwe; ngakho intukuthelo kaThixo yehlela phezu kwakhe lasebantwini bakoJuda labaseJerusalema.

26 Ana hu'neanagi Hesekaia'ene Jerusalemi kumate'ma nemaniza vahe'mo'zanena zamagu'a anteramiza manizageno, Hesekaia'ma kinima mani'nea kna'afina Ra Anumzamo'a arimpa ahe ozmante'ne.

Ngakho uHezekhiya waphenduka ukuzikhukhumeza ngenhliziyo yakhe, labantu baseJerusalema labo benza njalo; ngalokho ulaka lukaThixo alusabehlelanga ngezinsuku zikaHezekhiya.

27 Hesekaia'a tusi zagofeno ne' mani'nege'za vahe'mo'za husga hunte'naze. Hagi Hesekaia'a silvama, golima zago'amo'ma marerisa haveramima, mnanentake zama, hankoramima, mago'a zago'amo marerisa zantaminema antesia nona ki'ne.

UHezekhiya wayelenotho enengi njalo elodumo, wasesakha izindlu zokulondolozela isiliva sakhe legolide kanye lamatshe akhe aligugu, iziyoliso, izihlangu lakho konke okunye okuligugu.

28 Hagi hozafi ne'zantamina, witima, wainima, olivi masavema, antenia nona negino, bulimakao afutamine, sipisipi afutaminema ante'nia keginane nontaminena tro huntetere hu'ne.

Wakha njalo iziphala zokugcinela amabele, iwayini elitsha lamafutha, wakha izibaya zemihlobo eyehlukeneyo yenkomo, lezibaya zemihlambi yezimvu.

29 Ana nehuno rankumatmi tro huno sipisipi afutamine, bulimakao afutaminena zamante'ne. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a Hesekaina tusi afu kevune, zagofenone amigeno tusi zagofeno ne' mani'negu anara hu'ne.

Wakha imizi wazuza imihlambi yezimvu leyenkomo, ngoba uNkulunkulu wamnika inotho enkulu kakhulu.

30 Hagi Hesekai'a Kihoni tina mopa agu'a avreno Deviti rankumamofona zage fre kaziga e'ne. Hagi Hesekai'a maka zama hia zamo'a knare zanke hu'ne.

UHezekhiya nguye owavala amanzi entombo yangaphezulu kweGihoni wawadonsa agelezela ngentshonalanga koMuzi kaDavida. Waphumelela kukho konke ayekwenza.

31 Hagi Babiloni kumate kva vahe'mo'zama antahizama Anumzamo'ma Juda kumate'ma kaguvazama hiankema nentahiza, mago'a vahe huzmantazage'za ana kaguvazanku Hesekaia eme antahige'za kenaku e'naze. Hagi Anumzamo'a Hesekaiana agu'a reheno kenaku agrira atreneno ke'ne.

Ekufikeni kwamanxusa ayethunywe ngababusi beBhabhiloni bezobuza ngomangaliso owawenzakele elizweni, uNkulunkulu wamtshiya ukuze amhlole ukuthi azi konke okwakusenhliziyweni yakhe.

32 Hesekaia'ma kinima mani'neno hu'nea zantmimofo agenkea kasnampa ne' Amosi nemofo Aisaia'ma, Judane Israeli kini vahetmimofo zamagenkema krente'nea avontafepi krente'ne.

Ezinye izehlakalo ngokubusa kukaHezekhiya lemisebenzi yakhe yokuzinikela kulotshiwe embonweni womphrofethi u-Isaya indodana ka-Amozi egwalweni lwamakhosi akoJuda lawako-Israyeli.

33 Hagi Hesekai'ma frige'za, Deviti naga'mofo matipi agonafi asente'naze. Hagi anama asente'nazana maka Juda vahetamine, Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza vahe'mo'za marerisa vahe'ma asenezamantaza'za hu'za asente'naze. Ana hazageno, Manase nefa nona erino kinia mani'ne.

UHezekhiya waphumula labokhokho bakhe wangcwatshwa eqaqeni lapha okulamangcwaba abosendo lukaDavida. AbakoJuda bonke labantu baseJerusalema bamhlonipha ekufeni kwakhe. Kwathi uManase indodana yakhe wathatha isikhundla waba yinkosi.
