1 Hanki Hezekaia'ma kinima manino egeno 14nima hia kafufina, Asiria kini ne' Senakeribi'a marerino Juda mopafima hankavenentake vihuma hu'naza ranra kumatmina ha' eme huzmanteno eri vagare'ne.

Ngomnyaka wetshumi lane wokubusa kwenkosi uHezekhiya, uSenakheribhi inkosi yase-Asiriya wahlasela wonke amadolobho avikelweyo akoJuda wawathumba.

2 Ana hu'neankino Asiria kini ne'mo'a Lakisi kumate mani'nereti sondia vahete kva vahe'ene rama'a sondia vahe'ene huzmantege'za kini ne' Hezekaia'ma Jerusalemi kumate'ma mani'nerega vu'naze. Hagi Jerusalemi vute'za sondia vahete kva ne' Rabsaki'a vuno kumamofo anaga kazigama me'nea tirupinti'ma mopama kafi'za tima avre'za Jerusalemi kumapima urami'nazare oti'ne. Hagi anama kafi'za tima avre'naza tinkamo'a, kukenama sesema nehazaregama vu'nea kamofo tva'onte me'ne.

Emva kwalokho inkosi yase-Asiriya yathuma umlawuli wayo lebutho elikhulu lisuka eLakhishi lisiya enkosini uHezekhiya eJerusalema. Kwathi umlawuli webutho esemi emgelweni wechibi elingaphezulu, elisendleleni eya eNsimini yoMgezisi,

3 Hagi anante kinimofo nompi kva ne' Hilkia nemofo Eliakimiki avontafe'ma kre eri'zama eneria ne' Sibnaki, kinimo'ma tro'ma nehiazama avompima krenentea ne' Asapu nemofo Joaki hu'za ana ne'ma mani'nerega e'naze.

u-Eliyakhimu indodana kaHilikhiya umgcini wesigodlo, loShebhina umabhalane kanye loJowa indodana ka-Asafi umbhali, baya kuye.

4 Hanki ana Asiria sondia vahete ugota kva ne' Rebsaki'a ana 3'a nagara amanage huno zamasami'ne, Hezekaiana amanage huta ome asamiho, marerisa Asiria kini ne'mo'a amanage hu'ne, kagra inankna hankaveka'agu antahintahia nehunka knare hu'noe hunka nehane?

Umlawuli webutho wathi kubo, “Tshelani uHezekhiya ukuthi, ‘Nanku okutshiwo yinkosi enkulu, inkosi yase-Asiriya ithi: Uthembeni ngalesisibindi sakho na?

5 Hagi keagage'ma hu'zampintira magora hara agateregahampi? Iza naza hugahie hunka kagesa nentahinka nagrira hara renenantane?

Uthi ulamaqhinga lamandla ebutho kodwa ukhuluma amazwi ayize. Uthembe bani uze ungihlamukele nje?

6 Hanki ko, menina Isipi vahe'mo'za naza hugahaze hunka kagra antahi amuha nehane. Hianagi Isipi kini ne' Fero avu'avamo'a, mago hakemo hagege hiaza hu'neankino, ana kanonte'ma azama erino rempimpima hanimofona ana azotamo'a futagino azampi kota aheaza hugahie. Hagi Feronte'ma amuha'ma hunemiza vahe'mo'za e'inahu hu'za haviza hugahaze.

Khangela, ngiyazi uthembe iGibhithe, yona enjengomhlanga ozimvava osika isandla somuntu umlimaze nxa eweyamile. Unjalo uFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe kubo bonke abathembele kuye.

7 Hianagi Hezekai'a menina Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofonku antahi nemifi? Na'ankure kora Hezekaia'a Ra Anumzamofoma agonaramimpima mono'ma hunentaza kumatamine kresramna vu itaraminema me'neana, eri atre vaganereno, Juda vahe'ene Jerusalemima nemaniza vaheku'ma zamasamino, Jerusalemima magoke'ma me'nea kresramna vu itareke ofa hiho huno hu'nea ne' mani'ne.

Njalo nxa lisithi kimi, “Thina sithembe uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu,” kasuye yini uHezekhiya asusa izindawo zakhe eziphakemeyo lama-alithare akhe, esithi kuJuda leJerusalema, “Kumele likhonzele phambi kwaleli i-alithari”?

8 Hagi tamagrama antahintahi tamima rukrahe'ma hanaza nanekea menina kvani'a Asiria kini ne'mo'a amanage hu'ne, tamagrama sondia nagatamima knare'ma hu'nesnage'na, hosi agumpima mani'nezama ha'ma hanaza zana 2 tauseni'a hosi afutami tamigahue hu'ne.

Khathesi woza wenze isivumelwano lenkosi yami, inkosi yase-Asiriya: Ngizakunika amabhiza azinkulungwane ezimbili nxa bekhona abazawagada!

9 Hagi tamagra Isipi vaheku'ma antahizamita karisiramine hosi afutaminena eme taza hanageta hara hugahune hutma nentahize. Hianagi nagri kva ne'mofo sondia vahe'mokizmi kva vahepinti mago agi omane kva ne'mo tamagrira hara huramagateregahie.

Pho ungayehlula njani induna eyodwa yezikhulu ezincane zenkosi yami, lanxa uthembele eGibhithe ekutholeni izinqola zempi labagadi bamabhiza na?

10 Tamagrama antahi'zana agra'a antahi'zanteti e'no hara huranteno mopatia eri haviza huku nehie hutma nentahizafi? I'o. Ra Anumzamo hunanteno marerinka vunka ama kumara hara ome huntenka eri haviza huo huno hunante'ne.

Phezu kwalokho, kanti ngizehlasela lokuzochitha ilizwe leli kungatshongo uThixo na? UThixo uqobo nguye othe ngizohlasela ilizwe leli ngilichithe.’”

11 Hagi anante Eliakimiki, Sibnaki, Joaki hu'za anankema nentahi'za, Asiria sondia vahete kva nera amanage hu'za asami'naze. Tagra eri'za vahekamota muse hugantonanki, Aramu kea antahi'nonanki, antahinoma kefinti tasamio, na'ankure kagrama Hibru tagerupinti'ma nerasaminanke'za, kuma keginamofo agofetu'ma mani'naza vahe'mo'za anankea antahigahaze.

Ngakho u-Eliyakhimu loShebhina loJowa bathi kumlawuli webutho, “Ake ukhulume ezincekwini zakho ngesi-Aramayikhi ngoba siyasizwa. Ungasikhulumisi ngesiHebheru lababantu abasemdulini besizwa.”

12 Hianagi Asiria sondia vahete kva ne' Rebsakia amanage hu'ne, nagri kva ne'mo'ma ama'na kema atrege'nama eri'na e'noana, tamagri kva nete'ene tamagriteke'za atrege'na ome'noanki, anamu kuma kegina agofetu'ma mani'naza vahe'mo'zanena ama nanekea antahigahaze. Na'ankure ha'ma erita eta Jerusalemi kuma'ma eme avazagi kagisanunketa tamagra kva vahe'ene maka vahe'motanena rifane avinena retma negahaze.

Kodwa umlawuli webutho waphendula esithi, “Inkosi yami ingithume ukuba izinto lezi ngizitsho kuphela enkosini yenu lakini, hatshi ebantwini abahlezi emdulini okuzakuthi labo njengani badle ubulongwe babo banathe lomchamo wabo na?”

13 Anage nehuno ana Asiria sondia kva ne'mo'a Hibru kefinti kezatino amanage hu'ne, marerisa Asiria kini ne'mo'a amanage hu'neanki antahiho.

Umlawuli webutho wasukuma wasememeza ngesiHebheru esithi, “Zwanini amazwi enkosi enkulu, inkosi yase-Asiriya!

14 Tamagra atrenkeno Hezekaia'a reramataga osino, na'ankure Hezekai'a tamagrira hara huno tamagura vazigara osu'ne.

Lokhu yikho okutshiwo yinkosi: Lingamvumeli uHezekhiya ukuba alikhohlise. Angeke alikhulule.

15 Hezekaia'ma huno Ra Anumzamo'a taza hanigeta Asiria vahera hara huzmagatereta Jerusalemi kumara agu'vazigahune huno'ma hania kegura tamentintia osiho.

Lingamvumeli uHezekhiya elincenga ukuba lithembele kuThixo lapho esithi ‘Ngempela uThixo uzasikhulula; idolobho leli kaliyikuphiwa esandleni senkosi yase-Asiriya.’”

16 Hagi Hezekaia nanekea tamagra antahi omiho. Asiria kini ne'mo'a amanage hu'neanki antahiho. Tamagrama fru huta mani'neta tamagra'a waini hozafinti tagita neneta, tamagra'a fiki zafareti tagita neneta, tamagra'a tinkerifinti'ma tima afitama nesanunema hanutma, atretma nagrite enketa tarimpa fru hutama manisnuna nanekea erinte fatgo hamneno.

Lingamlaleli uHezekhiya. Nanku okutshiwo yinkosi yase-Asiriya: Yenza isivumelwano sokuthula lami, uphume uze kimi. Lapho-ke omunye lomunye uzakudla esivinini sakhe lasemikhiweni yakhe, anathe lamanzi emthonjeni wakhe,

17 Hagi anama huta mani'nesnage'na nagra eme tamavre'na mago mopa tamagri mopagna moparega ome tamantegahue. Ana mopafina waini tima tro hu'zana, waini hoza rama'a megeno, bretima tro hu'zana, witi hoza rama'a me'ne.

ngize ngifike ngilithathe, ngilise elizweni elifanana lelakini, ilizwe lamabele lewayini elitsha, ilizwe lesinkwa lezivini.

18 Hagi Hezekaia'ma tamagriku'ma huno Ra Anumzamo'a taza hanigeta Asiria vahera hara hu zamageteregahune huno nehiana reramatga nehianki kva hiho. Hianagi ama mopafina mago'a vahe'mofona ru anumzamo'a aza higeno, Asiria kini nera hara hugatere'nefi? I'o.

“Lingavumeli uHezekhiya ukuthi alikhohlise esithi, ‘UThixo uzasikhulula.’ Kulonkulunkulu wesinye isizwe osewake wakhulula ilizwe lakhe esandleni senkosi yase-Asiriya na?

19 Hagi Hamati vahe'ma Arpati vahe'ma Sefarvaimi vahe'ma huta ko'ma ha'ma hu zamagtere'nonana anumzazmimo'a iga mani'neno zamaza osu'ne. Ana hige'na Sameria kuma'enema ha'ma hunte'noana anumza'zmimo'a zamaza osige'na, hara hugaterogeno Sameria kumamo'a nagri nazampi me'ne.

Bangaphi onkulunkulu baseHamathi le-Ariphadi na? Bangaphi onkulunkulu baseSefavayimi na? Bayikhululile iSamariya esandleni sami na?

20 Hanki tagra rama'a kumatmi hara hu zamagate re'nonanagi, anumza zamimo'za zamaza osazageta mopazmia eri'none. E'ina hu'negu inankna huno Ra Anumzamo'a tamaza hanigeta, hara hutma Jerusalemi rankumara agura vazigahaze?

Nguphi kubo bonke onkulunkulu bamazwe la oke wenelisa ukukhulula ilizwe lakhe kimi na? Pho uThixo angayikhulula njani iJerusalema esandleni sami na?”

21 Hianagi Asiria sondia vahete kva ne'mo'ma hia nanekerera magore hu'za kenona'a osu'naze. Na'ankure kini ne' Hezekaia huzmanteno magore hutma ke'arera kenona osiho huno huzmante'nege'za anara hu'naze.

Kodwa abantu bathula kabazange batsho lutho, ngoba inkosi yayilaye yathi, “Lingamphenduli.”

22 Anante kini ne'mofo nompima kegavama nehia ne' Hilkia nemofo Eliakimiki, avontafe'ma erinte fatgoma huno negrea ne' Sibnaki, kinimo'ma tro'ma nehia zamofoma avompima krenentea ne' Joaki hu'za, kukena zamia tagato tagutu hute'za kini ne' Hezekaiante vu'za, Asiria sondia vahete kva ne' Rabsaki'ma hu'nea nenekea ome asami'naze.

U-Eliyakhimu indodana kaHilikhiya umgcini wesigodlo loShebhina umabhalane loJowa indodana ka-Asafi umbhali, baya kuHezekhiya izigqoko zabo zidabukile bamtshela okwakutshiwo ngumlawuli webutho.
