Ezayi 20
1 Na mobu oyo mokonzi monene ya basoda, oyo Sargoni, mokonzi ya Asiri, atindaki, ayaki kobundisa mpe kobotola engumba Asidodi;
Ngomnyaka wokufika kukaTharithani eAshidodi, lapho uSarigoni inkosi yeAsiriya emthuma, lapho walwa leAshidodi wayithumba;
2 kaka na tango wana, Yawe alobaki maloba oyo na nzela ya Ezayi, mwana mobali ya Amotsi: « Kende, longola bilamba ya saki na nzoto na yo, mpe basapato na makolo na yo. » Mpe asalaki kaka bongo; akomaki kotambola bolumbu mpe makolo ngulu.
ngalesosikhathi iNkosi yakhuluma ngesandla sikaIsaya indodana kaAmozi isithi: Hamba, ukhulule isaka ekhalweni lwakho, ukhuphe inyathela lakho enyaweni zakho. Wasesenza njalo, ehambaze engafakanga manyathela.
3 Bongo Yawe alobaki: « Lokola mosali na Ngai, Ezayi, atamboli bolumbu mpe makolo ngulu mibu misato mpo na kozala elembo mpe ekamwiseli na miso ya Ejipito mpe ya Kushi,
INkosi yasisithi: Njengalokhu inceku yami uIsaya isihambeze ingafakanga manyathela okweminyaka emithathu, kube yisibonakaliso lesimanga phezu kweGibhithe laphezu kweEthiyophiya;
4 mokonzi ya Asiri akomema bakangami ya Ejipito mpe bawumbu ya Kushi bolumbu mpe makolo ngulu: ezala bilenge to bampaka, bakotambola bolumbu mpe makolo ngulu mpo na soni ya Ejipito.
ngokunjalo inkosi yeAsiriya izaqhuba abathunjiweyo beGibhithe labaxotshiweyo beEthiyophiya, abatsha labadala, beze bengafakanga manyathela, lezibunu zisegcekeni, kube lihlazo eGibhithe.
5 Bato nyonso oyo batiaki elikya na bango na Kushi mpe bakomaki lofundu mpo na Ejipito bakokweya mpe bakotonda na soni.
Basebesethuka baba lenhloni ngeEthiyophiya ithemba labo, langeGibhithe udumo lwabo.
6 Na mokolo wana, bavandi ya esanga bakoloba: ‹ Tala, makambo nini ekomeli bato oyo biso tozalaki kotiela mitema? Tozalaki kokima epai na bango mpo na kozwa lisungi mpe lobiko liboso ya mokonzi ya Asiri. Biso sik’oyo tokosuka ndenge nini? › »
Abahlali balesisihlenge bazakuthi ngalolosuku: Khangela, linjalo ithemba lethu, lapho esabalekelela usizo khona ukuze sikhululwe ebusweni benkosi yeAsiriya. Pho, thina sizaphunyuka njani?
