2 Ebyomumirembe 32

1 Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo byonna Keezeekiya bye yakola n’obwesigwa, Sennakeribu kabaka w’e Bwasuli n’alumba Yuda, n’asiisira ebweru w’ebibuga ebiriko bbugwe, n’alowooza mu mutima gwe okubyetwalira.

Ɔhene Hesekia de nokorɛdie wiee saa dwumadie yi, Asiriahene Sanaherib bɛto hyɛɛ Yuda so, dii so nkonim. Ɔtuaa nkuro a wɔabɔ ho ban no, na ɔhyɛɛ nʼakodɔm sɛ wɔmmubu wɔn afasuo no, mmɔ nhyɛne mu.

2 Awo Keezeekiya bwe yalaba nga Sennakeribu azze, era ng’amaliridde okulwana ne Yerusaalemi,

Ɛberɛ a Hesekia hunuu sɛ Sanaherib asane ayɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛto ahyɛ Yerusalem so no,

3 n’ateesa n’abakungu be n’abasajja be abalwanyi abazira, ku ky’okuziba enzizi ezaali ebweru w’ekibuga, era ne bakikola.

ɔne ne mpanimfoɔ ne nʼasraafoɔ mu afotufoɔ tuu agyina. Wɔsii gyinaeɛ sɛ, wɔbɛsi nsutire no kwan na antene ankɔ kuropɔn no akyi.

4 Ekibiina kinene eky’abantu ne kikuŋŋaana, ne baziba enzizi zonna n’akagga akayita mu nsi, nga bagamba nti, “Lwaki bakabaka b’e Bwasuli bajja ne basanga amazzi amangi bwe gatyo?”

Wɔboaboaa adwumayɛfoɔ ano sɛ wɔnkɔsi nsutire kwan na antene ankɔ mfuo no mu. Na wɔkaa sɛ, “Adɛn enti na ɛsɛ sɛ Asiria ahemfo bɛba ha abɛnya nsuo bebree?”

5 N’afuba nnyo n’addaabiriza ebitundu byonna ebya bbugwe ebyali bimenyese, n’azimba n’eminaala ku bbugwe, n’anyweza n’ebigulumu ebyanywezanga ekibuga kya Dawudi. N’akozesa n’ebyokulwanyisa bingi n’engabo nnyingi.

Afei, Hesekia miaa ne banbɔ mu, ɔsiesiee ɔfasuo no baabiara a abubuo no, na ɔtoo ɔfasuo foforɔ kaa deɛ ɛwɔ hɔ dada no ho. Ɔsane miaa banbɔ a ɛwɔ Milo a ɛwɔ Dawid kuropɔn no mu no. Afei ɔyɛɛ akodeɛ ne akokyɛm bebree.

6 N’alonda abaduumizi b’eggye okukulembera abantu, ne babakuŋŋaanyiza gy’ali mu kifo ekigazi awali wankaaki w’ekibuga; n’abagumya ng’agamba nti,

Ɔyii asraafoɔ mpanimfoɔ, ma wɔhwɛɛ ɔmanfoɔ no so, na ɔhyɛɛ sɛ wɔmmɛhyia no wɔ kuro no ɛpono ano adwaberem hɔ. Na Hesekia kaa nkuranhyɛsɛm kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ,

7 “Mube n’amaanyi, mugume omwoyo. Temutya so temwelariikirira olwa kabaka w’e Bwasuli n’eggye lye eddene, kubanga waliwo eggye eririsinga eriri awamu naffe.

“Monyɛ den na momma mo bo nyɛ duru. Monnsuro Asiriahene anaa nʼakodɔm kɛseɛ no, na yɛwɔ tumi a ɛso wɔ yɛn afa.

8 Sennakeribu akozesa omukono ogw’omubiri, naye ffe tulina Mukama Katonda waffe atulwanirira mu ntalo zaffe.” Abantu ne baguma omwoyo olw’ebigambo Keezeekiya kabaka wa Yuda bye yayogera.

Ɛwom sɛ ɔwɔ akodɔm kɛseɛ deɛ, nanso wɔyɛ nnipa kɛkɛ. Yɛwɔ Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn a ɔbɛboa yɛn, adi ako ama yɛn.” Saa nsɛm a Hesekia, Yudahene kaeɛ yi hyɛɛ ɔmanfoɔ no nkuran bebree.

9 Awo Sennakeribu kabaka w’e Bwasuli n’eggye lye lyonna bwe baali bakyali e Lakisi kye baali bazingizza, n’atuma abakungu be e Yerusaalemi eri Keezeekiya kabaka wa Yuda, n’eri abantu bonna aba Yuda abaaliyo, ng’agamba nti,

Ɛberɛ a Asiriahene Sanaherib gu so retua Lakis kuro no, ɔsomaa mpanimfoɔ kɔɔ Yerusalem sɛ wɔmfa saa nkra yi nkɔma Hesekia ne ne manfoɔ a wɔwɔ kuro no mu nyinaa:

10 “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Sennakeribu kabaka w’e Bwasuli nti, ‘Mwesiga ki okusigala mu Yerusaalemi nga kizingiziddwa?

“Sɛdeɛ Asiriahene Sanaherib seɛ nie: Ɛdeɛn na mode mo ho to so, na ɛma mo susu sɛ, mobɛtumi agyina Yerusalem tua yi ano?

11 Mulowooza nga Keezeekiya bw’ayogera nti, “Mukama Katonda waffe alitulokola mu mukono gwa kabaka w’e Bwasuli,” abatalimba, n’okwagala okubassa enjala n’ennyonta?

Hesekia aka sɛ: ‘Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn, bɛgye yɛn afiri Asiriahene nsam.’ Nokorɛm, Hesekia regyegye mo, ama ɛkɔm ne sukɔm akum mo!

12 Keezeekiya si ye yaggyawo ebifo ebigulumivu n’ebyoto, n’alagira Yuda ne Yerusaalemi ng’agamba nti, “Munaasinzizanga mu maaso g’ekyoto kimu, era okwo kwe munaayoterezanga obubaane”?

Nokorɛm, deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ mote aseɛ ne sɛ, Hesekia no ara na ɔbubuu Awurade asɔreeɛ ne afɔrebukyia no nyinaa. Ɔhyɛɛ Yuda ne Yerusalem sɛ wɔnsom wɔ afɔrebukyia baako pɛ a ɛwɔ Asɔredan no mu no so, na wɔmmɔ afɔdeɛ ahodoɔ wɔ ɛno nko ara so.

13 “‘Temumanyi, nze ne bajjajjange bye twakola amawanga gonna ag’omu nsi endala? Bakatonda abamawanga ago, baayinza okubawonya mu mukono gwange?

“Nokorɛm, ɛsɛ sɛ mohunu deɛ me ne Asiria ahemfo a aka no ayɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ asase so. Anyame a na wɔwɔ saa aman no so no tumi gyee wɔn nkurɔfoɔ firii me tumi ase?

14 Ani ku bakatonda abamawanga ago bajjajjange ge baazikiriza, eyayinza okubalokola mu mukono gwange? Katonda wammwe anaabawonya atya mu mukono gwange?

Ma nhwɛsoɔ baako kyerɛ onyame bi a ɔwɔ baabi a ɔtumi gyee ne nkurɔfoɔ firii me nsam! Ɛdeɛn na ɛma wodwene sɛ, wo Onyankopɔn bɛtumi ayɛ ade pa bi?

15 Kale nno, Keezeekiya aleme kubalimbalimba newaakubadde okubasendasenda mu nsonga eyo. Temumukkiriza, kubanga tewali katonda ow’eggwanga lyonna oba bwakabaka, eyayinza okulokola abantu be mu mukono gwange newaakubadde eyayinza okubalokola mu mukono gwa bajjajjange. Kale Katonda wammwe alibawonya atya mu mukono gwange?’”

Mommma Hesekia mmu mo kwasea. Mommma ɔnnaadaa mo saa! Meti mu, ka bio sɛ, ɔman biara nyame ntumi nnyee ne nkurɔfoɔ mfirii me anaa mʼagyanom nsam da. Na ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na mo Onyankopɔn agye mo afiri me tumi ase!”

16 Abakungu ba Sennakeribu ne boogera bingi nnyo n’okusingawo ku Mukama Katonda ne ku muddu we Keezeekiya.

Na Sanaherib mpanimfoɔ kɔɔ so dii Awurade Onyankopɔn ne ne ɔsomfoɔ Hesekia ho fɛw, twaa no adapaa.

17 Kabaka oyo n’awandiika n’amabaluwa agavuma Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, ng’agamba nti, “Nga bakatonda abamawanga ag’ensi bwe bataabawonya mu mukono gwange, bw’atyo ne Katonda wa Keezeekiya bw’ataliwonya bantu be mu mukono gwange.”

Ɔhene no sane twerɛɛ nkrataa de buu Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn animtiaa. Ɔtwerɛɛ sɛ: “Sɛdeɛ anyame a wɔwɔ aman ahodoɔ so antumi annye wɔn nkurɔfoɔ amfiri me tumi ase no, saa ara, na Hesekia Onyankopɔn nso bɛdi nkoguo.”

18 Ne bakoowoola abantu ba Yerusaalemi abaali ku bbugwe mu lw’Ebbulaniya, nga babatiisatiisa baggweemu amaanyi, balyoke bawambe ekibuga.

Asiria mpanimfoɔ a wɔde krataa no baeɛ no teateaam de Hebri kasa kaa saa asɛm yi kyerɛɛ nnipa a wɔaboa wɔn ho ano wɔ kuro no ɔfasuo fasin so, de hunahunaa wɔn, sɛdeɛ wɔbɛtumi afa kuropɔn no a wɔmmerɛ ho.

19 Ne boogera ku Katonda wa Yerusaalemi nga bwe baayogeranga ku bakatonda abamawanga amalala ag’omu nsi endala, abakolebwa abantu.

Saa mpanimfoɔ yi kasa faa Yerusalem Onyankopɔn yi ho te sɛ abosonsomfoɔ anyame no mu baako a wɔde nnipa nsa na ɛyɛeɛ no.

20 Awo Kabaka Keezeekiya ne nnabbi Isaaya mutabani wa Amozi ne basaba nga bakaabira eri eggulu ku nsonga eyo.

Afei, ɔhene Hesekia ne Amos babarima odiyifoɔ Yesaia bɔɔ mpaeɛ denden, frɛɛ ɔsorosoro Onyankopɔn no.

21 Mukama n’atuma malayika, n’atemaatema abasajja abalwanyi abazira ab’amaanyi bonna n’abaduumizi, n’abakungu mu nkambi ya kabaka w’e Bwasuli. Sennakeribu n’addayo mu nsi ye ng’ensonyi zimukutte. Bwe yayingira mu yeekaalu ya katonda we, abamu ku batabani be ne bamutta n’ekitala.

Na Awurade somaa ɔbɔfoɔ, bɛsɛee Asiria akodɔm ne wɔn asahene ne wɔn mpanimfoɔ nyinaa. Na Sanaherib de aniwuo sane kɔɔ ne kurom. Na ɔwuraa ne nyame abosonnan mu no, ɔno ankasa mmammarima no mu baako twee ne so akofena, kumm no.

22 Awo Mukama n’alokola Keezeekiya n’abantu ba Yerusaalemi mu mukono gwa Sennakeribu kabaka w’e Bwasuli ne mu mukono gw’abalabe baabwe bonna abalala. N’abaakuumanga enjuuyi zonna.

Saa ɛkwan yi na Awurade faa so de gyee Hesekia ne Yerusalem manfoɔ nkwa, firii Asiriahene Sanaherib ne wɔn a wɔhunahuna wɔn no nyinaa nsam. Enti, ɛmaa asomdwoeɛ baa asase no so nyinaa.

23 Bangi ne baleetera Mukama ebirabo e Yerusaalemi, ne Keezeekiya kabaka wa Yuda n’afuna ebirabo eby’omuwendo omungi. N’okuva ku lunaku olwo n’aweebwa ekitiibwa kinene mu mawanga gonna.

Ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, aman a atwa wɔn ho ahyia no de obuo ne anidie a ɛnni kabea maa ɔhene Hesekia, na wɔde akyɛdeɛ bebree a ɛyɛ Awurade dea kɔɔ Yerusalem, na wɔde nneɛma a ɛsom bo kɔmaa Ɔhene Hesekia nso.

24 Mu biro ebyo, Keezeekiya n’alwala nnyo kumpi n’okufa. N’asaba Mukama amuwonye, n’amuddamu n’akabonero.

Ɛberɛ no mu, Hesekia yaree yarewuo. Ɔbɔɔ mpaeɛ frɛɛ Awurade, maa ɔsaa no yadeɛ daa nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ nwanwasoɔ bi adi kyerɛɛ no.

25 Naye Keezeekiya n’ateebaza ebyekisa ekya mukolerwa, olw’amalala agaali mu ye. Obusungu bwa Mukama kyebwava bubuubuukira ku ye ne ku Yuda ne ku Yerusaalemi.

Nanso, Hesekia anyɛ adɔeɛ a wɔyɛ kyerɛɛ no no so adeɛ, na mmom, ɔbɛyɛɛ ahantan. Enti, Awurade abufuo baa ɔno, Yuda ne Yerusalem nyinaa so.

26 Oluvannyuma, Keezeekiya ne yeenenya amalala agaali mu ye, ku lulwe ne ku lw’abantu ab’omu Yerusaalemi, ekiruyi kya Mukama ne butababuubuukirako mu mirembe gya Keezeekiya.

Enti, Hesekia nuu ne ho wɔ nʼahantansu no ho, na ɔmanfoɔ a wɔwɔ Yerusalem no nso brɛɛ wɔn ho ase. Ɛno enti, Hesekia nkwanna mu no, Awurade abufuo amma wɔn so.

27 Keezeekiya yalina eby’obugagga bingi nnyo n’ekitiibwa, ne yeezimbira n’amawanika ag’okukuumirangamu effeeza, ne zaabu, n’amayinja ag’omuwendo omungi, n’ebyakaloosa, n’engabo, n’ebintu eby’engeri zonna eby’omuwendo.

Hesekia nyaa ne ho, na wɔbuu no yie. Ɔsisii adekoradan sononko bi a ɔkoraa ne dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ, aboɔdemmoɔ, nnuhwam, nʼakyɛm ne ne nneɛma a ɛsom bo pii no wɔ mu.

28 N’azimba n’amaterekero ag’eŋŋaano, ne wayini, n’amafuta; n’azimba n’ebiraalo eby’ebika by’ente byonna, n’ebifo eby’ebisibo by’endiga.

Afei nso, ɔsisii adekoradan de nʼatokoɔ, ne nsã ne ne ngo guu mu; ɔsisii buo bebree maa nʼanantwie ne ne nnwan ne ne mpɔnkye.

29 Ne yeezimbira ebibuga, ne yeefunira n’ebisibo n’amagana mangi, kubanga Katonda yali amuwadde eby’obugagga bingi nnyo nnyini.

Ɔkyekyeree nkuro pii, pɛɛ nnwan ne anantwie bebree, ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn maa no ahonya bebree.

30 Keezeekiya, ye yaziba oluzzi olwa waggulu olwa Gikoni, amazzi n’agaserengesa ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba olw’ekibuga kya Dawudi. N’alaba omukisa mu buli kye yakolanga.

Ɔsii asutire a na ɛwɔ Gihon atifi fam no, na ɔde nsuo no faa dorobɛn mu kɔɔ Dawid kuropɔn atɔeɛ fam. Na biribiara a ɔyɛeɛ no nso, ɛyɛɛ yie.

31 Naye mu bigambo eby’ababaka abaatumibwa abakungu b’e Babulooni okumubuuza ku byamagero ebyakolebwa mu nsi ye, Katonda n’amugeza alyoke ategeere byonna ebyali mu mutima gwe.

Ɛberɛ a Babilonia ananmusifoɔ bɛbisaa nneɛma titire a asisi wɔ asase no so no, Onyankopɔn twee ne ho firi Hesekia ho, de sɔɔ no hwɛeɛ, pɛɛ sɛ ɔhunu deɛ ɛwɔ nʼakoma mu.

32 Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Keezeekiya, n’ebikolwa bye ebirungi eby’obunyiikivu, byawandiikibwa mu kwolesebwa kwa Isaaya nnabbi mutabani wa Amozi, mu kitabo kya bassekabaka ba Yuda ne Isirayiri.

Hesekia ahennie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ ne nʼahofama no, wɔatwerɛ wɔ Amos babarima odiyifoɔ Yesaia anisoadehunu a ɛka Yuda ne Israel ahemfo nwoma ho no mu.

33 Keezeekiya ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe, n’aziikibwa mu masiro g’abazzukulu ba Dawudi, era Yuda yonna, n’abatuuze bonna aba Yerusaalemi ne bamukungubagira ne bamuwa ekitiibwa ne mu kufa kwe. Manase mutabani we n’amusikira.

Ɛberɛ a Hesekia wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no wɔ adehyeɛ amusieeɛ no atifi fam, na Yuda ne Yerusalem nyinaa hyɛɛ no animuonyam ne wuo mu. Afei, ne babarima Manase, dii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
