2 Kva 19
1 Hagi Hezekaia'ma ana nanekema nentahino'a ame huno kukena'a tagato tagatu huno asunku kukena nehuno, Ra Anumzamofo mono nompi umareri'ne.
Kwathi lapho uHezekhiya, inkosi, esezwe lokhu, wadabula izigqoko zakhe wagqoka amasaka, wasesiya ethempelini likaThixo.
2 Hagi kini ne'mofo nonte kva nehia ne' Eliakiminki, avontafe'ma kreno eri fatgoma nehia ne' Sebnanki, mago'a ugagota hu'naza pristi vaheki huno Hezekai'a huzmantege'za zamasunku kukena hute'za kasnampa ne' Amosi nemofo Aisaia mani'nerega vu'naze.
Wathuma u-Eliyakhimu umphathi wesigodlo, uShebhina umabhalane labaphristi abangabakhokheli, bonke begqoke amasaka, baya kumphrofethi u-Isaya indodana ka-Amozi.
3 Hagi Aisaia'ma mani'nere vute'za Hezekaia'ma hu'nea nanekea amanage hu'za ome asami'naze, Asiria vahe'mo'za tazeri haviza hu naneke hazageno tagrira tusi tagaze higeta tusi'a knafi mani'none. Ana hunkeno mago a'mo mofavre ante kna'amo erava'o hu'neanagi, hankave'a omnegeno mofavrea ame huno'ma onteaza huno, tagrira hankavetia omne'ne.
Bathi kuye, “UHezekhiya uthi: ilanga lanamhla lusuku losizi lokusolwa kanye lehlazo njengalapho abantwana sekufike isikhathi sokuthi bazalwe kodwa amandla okubeletha engekho.
4 Hagi Asiria kini ne'mofo sondia vahete kva ne'ma huntegeno eno Ra Anumzana kasefa huno mani'nea Anumzamofoma huhavizama hunteankea, hago antahinegahianki nunamuna hunka Ra Anumzana kagri Anumzamofona mago'azana huntegahifi antahigo. Ana nehunka tagrama ofri'ma mani'nona naga'amotagura Ra Anumzamofontega nunamuna hunka antahigo.
Mhlawumbe uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho izawezwa wonke amazwi omlawuli webutho, onkosi yakhe, inkosi yase-Asiriya, emthume ukuba athuke uNkulunkulu ophilayo, lokuthi uzamthuka ngenxa yamazwi uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho awazwileyo. Ngakho-ke khulekela insali elokhu iphila.”
5 Hagi kini ne' Hezekaia eri'za vahe'mo'zama Aisaiante'ma azageno'a,
Kwathi izithunywa zenkosi uHezekhiya sezifikile ku-Isaya,
6 Aisaia'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hianki vuta kini ne' Hesekaiana ome asmiho, Asiria kini ne'mofo eri'za vahe'mo'zama Nagri'ma huhavizama hunantaza kea kagra nentahinka korora osuo.
u-Isaya wathi kuzo, “Tshelani inkosi yenu lithi, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: Ungesabi lokhu okuzwileyo, amazwi lawana izinceku zenkosi yase-Asiriya ezingithuke ngawo.
7 Hagi antahio! Nagra mago avamu Asiria kini nera antente'na antahintahi'a azeri savri ha'nena, kantegati mago'a naneke nentahino, mopa'arega ete rukrahe huno vanige'za bainati kazinteti ahe frigahaze.
Lalela! Ngizafaka umoya ozamenza athi nxa esizwa umbiko othile, afune ukubuyela elizweni lakhe, athi angafika khonale ngenze ukuba abulawe ngenkemba.’”
8 Hagi anante Asiria sondia vahete kva ne' Rabsakima antahiama, Asiria kini ne' Senakeripima Lakisi kuma'ma atreno vuno Libna kumate vahe'ma ha'ma ome hunezmantea nanekema nentahino'a, agra Jerusalemi rankumara atreno vuno Asiria kini nera anantega ome ke'ne.
Kwathi lapho umlawuli webutho esezwile ukuthi inkosi yase-Asiriya yayisisukile eLakhishi, laye wasuka wayathola inkosi isilwa leLibhina.
9 Hagi Asiria kini ne' Senakeripi'ma ha'ma nehuno antahiana, Kusiti ne' Isipi kini ne'ma Tirhaka'ma hahuganteku ne'e hu'za eme asami'naze. E'ina higeno Asiria kini ne'mo'a Hezekaiantega amanage huno kea atrente'ne.
USenakheribhi wemukela umbiko othi uThirihaka, inkosi yaseKhushi, wayesiza ukuba amhlasele. Ngakho wathumela njalo izithunywa kuHezekhiya lombiko othi:
10 Amanage hutma Juda kini ne' Hezekaiana ome asmiho, kagrama kamentintima nehana Anumzamo'ma kasamino, kza hanugeno Asiria kini ne'mo'a hara huganteno Jerusalemi kumara e'origahie huno'ma regavatgama hiankegura ontahio.
“Tshela uHezekhiya inkosi yakoJuda ukuthi: Ungavumi ukuthi unkulunkulu omthembileyo akukhohlise esithi, ‘IJerusalema kaliyikunikelwa enkosini yase-Asiriya.’
11 Hagi tagra Asiria kinimotama ha'ma huzmantona kuma'ma zamazeri havizantfama nehunana kagra ko antahi'nane. Kagrama antahisanana nagri kumara anara osugahie hunka nentahino?
Ngempela usukuzwile okwenziwa ngamakhosi ase-Asiriya emazweni wonke, ewabhidliza okupheleleyo. Wena-ke uzaphepha na?
12 Hagi korapara nagri nafahe'za, Gosani rankuma'ma, Harani rankuma'ma, Rezefi rankumapima nemaniza vahe'ene, Ideni vahe'ma Tel-Asa rankumate'ma nemaniza vahe'enema ha'ma huzmante'nazana anumza zamimo'a zamaza osu'ne.
Onkulunkulu bezizwe ezatshabalaliswa ngokhokho bami bake bazikhulula na onkulunkulu beGozani, leHarani, leRezefi kanye labantu base-Edeni ababeseThelasari?
13 Hagi Hamati rankumate kinima, Arpa kumate kinima, Sefarvaimi kumate kinima, Hena kumate kinima, Iva rankumate kininena menina iga mani'naze? Ana maka hago zamahe vagaronke'za fri'naze.
Ingaphi inkosi yaseHamathi, inkosi yase-Ariphadi, angaphi amakhosi aseLayiri leSefavayimi, loba eyaseHena kumbe eyase-Iva?”
14 Hagi anante Asiria kini ne' Senakeripi'ma huzmantege'za e'naza vahe'mokizmi zamazampinti, Hezekaia'a ana avona erino hampriteno, ana avona erino Ra Anumzamofo mono nompi marerino, Ra Anumzamofo avure ana avona eritareno ante'ne.
UHezekhiya wamukela incwadi eyeza lezithunywa wayibala. Emva kwalokho waya ethempelini leNkosi, wayichaya phambi kukaThixo.
15 Ana huteno Hezekaia'a amanage huno Ra Anumzamofontega nunamuna hu'ne, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mota Anumzamoka, Kagri tra'mo'a zamagekona retare'naza ankerontami amu'nompi me'ne. Kagrake ama mopafi maka vahe'mokizmi Ra Anumzana mani'nane. Kagrake monane mopanena tro hu'nane.
UHezekhiya wakhuleka kuThixo esithi: “Thixo, Nkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, osebukhosini phakathi kwamaKherubhi, wena kuphela nguwe onguNkulunkulu wemibuso yonke yasemhlabeni. Nguwe owenza izulu lomhlaba.
16 Hagi Ra Anumzamoka kagesa antenka nunamuni'a nentahinka, Ra Anumzamoka kavua antenka negenka, Asiria kini ne' Senakeripi'ma kasefa hunka mani'nana Ra Anumzamoka kagima huhavizama hiana antahi'nane.
Beka indlebe, Thixo, uzwe; vula amehlo akho Thixo, ubone. Lalela uzwe amazwi uSenakheribhi awathumele ukuzathuka uNkulunkulu ophilayo.
17 Hagi tamage, Ra Anumzamoka Asiria kini vahe'mo'za rama'a vahe'ma zamahe nefri'zama, kuma'zamima eri havizama hu'nazana tagra antahi'none.
Kuliqiniso, Thixo, ukuthi amakhosi ase-Asiriya azitshabalalisa lezizizwe kanye lamazwe azo.
18 Hagi ana nehu'za, anama zamazeri havizama haza vahe'mokizmi anumzazamia tevefi hanavazi'za kre'naze. Na'ankure zamagra kaza osu havi anumza zafareti'ene, havereti tro huntene'za mono hunentaza zantami Asiria vahe'mo'za anara hu'naze.
Aphosele onkulunkulu bawo emlilweni abatshabalalisa, ngoba kungesibo onkulunkulu kodwa yizigodo lamatshe kuphela, okubunjwe ngezandla zabantu.
19 Hianagi kagra menina tagri Ra Anumza mani'nanku hunka Asiria kini ne'mofo azampintira tagu'vazinka taza hananke'za, ama mopafima maka kaziga mani'naza ke'za antahi'za hanazana, Ra Anumzana kagrake tamage Anumza mani'nane hu'za hugahaze.
Khathesi, Thixo, Nkulunkulu wethu, sikhulule esandleni sakhe, ukuze imibuso yonke emhlabeni ibekwazi, ukuthi wena wedwa, Thixo, unguNkulunkulu.”
20 Hagi anante Amosi nemofo Aisaia'a amanage huno Hezekaina kea atrente'ne, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mota Anumzamo'a amanage huno hie, kagrama Asiria kini ne' Senakeripinku'ma hana nunamuna hago nagra antahi'noe.
U-Isaya indodana ka-Amozi wathumela ilizwi kuHezekhiya elithi: “Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli: Ngiwuzwile umkhuleko wakho mayelana loSenakheribhi inkosi yase-Asiriya.
21 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Asiria kini ne' Senakeripinkura amanage huno huhaviza hunte'ne. Jerusalemi kumamo'a mago vene omase'nea mofakna hu'neankino, koroma nefresankeno'a kamage nevuno kagiza nereno, zokago ke huneganteno, agena rugahie.
Nanti ilizwi uThixo aselikhulume ngaye: ‘Ndodakazi eGcweleyo iZiyoni iyakweyisa njalo iyakuklolodela. Ndodakazi iJerusalema inqekuza ikhanda layo lapho wena ubaleka.
22 Hagi kagra Senakeripigama huhavizama nehunka, zokago kema nehunka, kagima erisgama nehunka, kavufgama atare'nanana, izante anara hu'noe hunka kagesa antahi'nane? E'ina'ma hu'nanana Nagra Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mokizmi ruotage hu'noa Anumzamo'nare anara hu'nane.
Ngubani lowo omthukileyo wamhlazisa? Ngubani lowo omphakamisele ilizwi lakho wamphakamisela lamehlo akho ngokuzigqaja na? NgoNgcwele ka-Israyeli!
23 Hagi kagra kato vaheka'amokizmi zamagite nanekea antanke'za Ra Anumzamo'na nagia huhaviza hu'naze. Ana higenka kagra amanage hunka kagia erisga hu'nane. Nagra karisiramini'a eri'na Lebanoni kaziga mareri agatere'nea agona morusapi vano nehue hu'nane. Ana nehu'na Lebanonia tusi'a zafa ta'nopa me'nefi ufre'na, vahe vano nosazama'afinti, zaza'ma hu'nea sida zafaramine, knarenare'ma hu'nea saipresi zafaramina antagi'na e'noe hu'nane.
Ngezithunywa zakho umthukile uThixo. Utshilo njalo ukuthi, “Ngezinqola zami ezinengi ngikhwelile eziqongweni zezintaba, iziqongo eziphezulu kakhulu zaseLebhanoni. Sengigamule ngawisa izihlahla ezinde zemisedari, izihlahla ezikhethiweyo zamaphayini. Ngifikile eziqongweni zalo ezikhatshana, emaguswini alo amahle kakhulu.
24 Anage nehunka amanage hu'nane, Nagra Isipi mopafina nagiareti ana maka tintamina reho'mu nehu'na, ru vahe'mokizmi mopafina nagrani'a tinkeria kafi'na tina ne'noe hunka hu'nane.
Ngigebhile imithombo ezizweni nganatha amanzi khona. Ngezinyawo zami ngomisile zonke izifula zaseGibhithe.”’”
25 Hagi Senakeripiga kagra ontahi'nane, korapa ana zana forera osu'nege'na, Nagra ru knafi huvame hunte'noa zamofo menina eriama nehu'na hankavea negamugenka, kagra hankave nentake have keginama hugagi'naza ranra kumatmina, hara huzmagaterankeno, have kegina zamimo'a fragu vaziramino mopafina hihi huno mareri'ne.
“‘Kawuzwanga na? Lokhu ngakumisa endulo. Ngakuceba ensukwini zasendulo; khathesi sengenze ukuba kufezeke, ukuthi usudilize amadolobho avikelweyo aba yizinqwaba zamatshe.
26 Hagi ana kumatmimpi vahe'mokizmi hankavea omnege'za, antahintahi hakare nehazageno tusi zamagaze hu'ne. Anama hazazamo'a mopafi tra'zamo kasefa kasefa huno marenerigeno, trazamo nomoteti hageno marenerigeno zagemo'ma rentegeno hagegema hiaza hu'naze.
Abantu bakhona, abangaselamandla, badangele njalo bayangekile. Banjengezilimo ensimini, njengamahlumela aluhlaza, lanjengotshani obuhluma ephahleni lwendlu bubuye butshe bungakakhuli.
27 Hianagi kagra menina inante mani'nano, inantegati ano, inantega vano nehunka, menima krimpama ahenantanana ko antahi'na ke'na hu'noe.
Kodwa ngiyakwazi lapho okhona, lalapho usiza uphinde uhambe; kanye lokuthi ungithukuthelela kangakanani.
28 Hagi kagrama kavufga erisga nehunka, krimpa ahenantana zamo'a Nagrite ege'na antahi'noe. E'ina hu'negu menina Nagra hosimofo agipima renentaza ani atupa eri'na kagipi antete'na, kazeri rukrahe ha'nena e'nana kantega ete vugahane.
Ngenxa yokungithukuthelela kwakho langenxa yokuthi ubuqholo bakho sebufikile ezindlebeni zami ngizafaka umkhala wami emakhaleni akho lamatomu ami emlonyeni wakho, njalo ngizakwenza ubuyele ngendlela oze ngayo.’
29 Hagi Aisaia'ma Sinakeripinku'ma asamia kemo'ma tamage huno efore hanigenoma kesigura, Hezekaiana amanahu avame ke asmi'ne, meni kafufina hozafima agraragisama hagesia ne'za hamareta nenetma, anante kafufina anampinti'ma rutri hanifinti'ma hageno mrerino raga rentesia ne'za hamareta negahaze. Hianagi nampa 3 kafufina tamagra'a ne'zana krita nenetma, tamagra'a waini hoza antetma raga'a tagitma negahaze.
Lokhu kuzakuba yisibonakaliso kuwe, Hezekhiya: Lonyaka lizakudla okuzikhulela kodwa, ngomnyaka wesibili lidle umkhukhuzela wakhona. Kodwa ngomnyaka wesithathu hlanyelani livune, hlanyelani izivini lidle izithelo zazo.
30 Ana nehanageno Juda nagapima ha' vahe'mo'zama ozmahage'za osi'ama mani'naza naga'mo'za ete zamagra hozafi avimzamo rafu'na atregeno mopafi uneramigeno, hageno raga renteankna hugahaze.
Futhi insali yendlu kaJuda izagxilisa njalo impande phansi ithele izithelo ngaphezulu.
31 Hagi Ra Anumzana hankavenentake Anumzamo Jerusalemi kumapine, Zaioni agonafima osi'a naga'ma mani'naza nagara, ofri mani'ne'za hagegahaze. Ana nehanageno Ra Anumzamo'a hankave agu'agesa antahi'neankino, anazana huzmantegahie.
Ngoba eJerusalema kuzavela insali, kuthi entabeni iZiyoni kuphume ixuku labasindayo. Ukutshiseka kukaThixo uSomandla kuzakwenza ukuba lokhu kufezeke.
32 E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzamo'a Asiria kini nekura amanage hu'ne, agra Jerusalemi kumapina enofreno, kevea magore huno ahetresigeno omegahie. Hanko'a erino erava'ona nosuno, kuma keginamofo tvaontera marerino ha'ma hu'zana mopa eritru huno trora osugahie.
Ngakho-ke mayelana lenkosi yase-Asiriya uThixo uthi: ‘Kasoze angene kulelidolobho loba atshoke umtshoko lapha. Kasoze eze kulo elehawu kumbe akhe umduli wokulivimbezela.
33 Hagi Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na huama huankino, Jerusalemi rankumapina eofretfa nehuno, agrama e'nea kantega ete rukrahe huno vugahie.
Uzabuyela ngendlela eza ngayo, kasoze angene kulelidolobho, kutsho uThixo.
34 Hagi Nagrama e'inama hanuana Nagri'ma ra nagima namisagu anara nehu'na, eri'za vaheni'a Devitima huvempama hunte'noa kegu ene anara hugahue.
Idolobho leli ngizalivikela ngilihlenge, ngenxa yami langenxa kaDavida inceku yami.’”
35 Hagi ana kenagera Ra Anumzamofo ankeromo Asiria sondia vahe'ma seli noma eme ki'za mani'nafi vuno, sondia vahe'zaga 185 tauseni'a zamahe fri'ne. Anama hutege'za nanterama oti'zama kazana ana kumapina maka fri'naza vahe zamavufagamoke'za avite'nege'za ke'naze.
Ngalobobusuku ingilosi kaThixo yasuka yayabulala abantu abalikhulu elilamatshumi ayisificaminwembili lanhlanu lezinkulungwane ezihonqweni zama-Asiriya. Kwathi lapho abantu bevuka ekuseni kwakhona bonke kwasekuyizidumbu kuphela!
36 Anama higeno'a Asiria kini ne' Senakeripi'a seli nonkuma'ma eme ante'zama mani'naza kumara atreno Ninive rankumate vuno umani'ne.
Ngakho uSenakheribhi inkosi yama-Asiriya wasuka ezihonqweni wahamba. Wabuyela eNiniva wahlala khona.
37 Hagi mago zupa Senakeripi'a Nisroku havi anumzama'amofo mono nompi mono hunentegeno, tare ne'mofavre'a Adramelekike Sareserikea eke bainati kazinteti eme ahe friteke, freke Ararati moparega umanikeno, nemofo Esarhadoni'a nefa nona erino kinia mani'ne.
Kwathi ngolunye usuku ekhonza ethempelini likaNisirokhi unkulunkulu wakhe, amadodana akhe u-Adrameleki loShareza ambulala ngenkemba asebalekela elizweni lase-Ararathi. U-Esarihadoni indodana yakhe yaba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
