< 2 Bassekabaka 19 >
1 Kabaka Keezeekiya olwawulira ebyo byonna, n’ayuza ebyambalo bye, n’ayambala ebibukutu, n’alaga mu yeekaalu ya Mukama.
Ɛberɛ a ɔhene Hesekia tee yeinom no, ɔsunsuanee ne ntadeɛ mu, ɛnna ɔfiraa ayitoma, na ɔkɔɔ Awurade asɔredan mu.
2 N’atuma Eriyakimu eyali ssabakaaki, ne Sebuna omuwandiisi ne bakabona ab’oku ntikko, nga bonna bambadde ebibukutu, okugenda eri Isaaya nnabbi mutabani wa Amozi.
Na ɔsomaa ahemfie sohwɛfoɔ Eliakim, ɔtwerɛfoɔ Sebna ne asɔfoɔ mpanin a wɔn nyinaa hyehyɛ ayitadeɛ kɔɔ Amos babarima odiyifoɔ Yesaia nkyɛn.
3 Ne bamugamba nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Keezeekiya nti Leero lunaku lwa buyinike, era lwa kunenyezebwa, era lwa kuswazibwa, ng’abaana bwe batuuka okuzaalibwa, naye ne wataba maanyi ga ku bazaala.
Wɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Sɛdeɛ ɔhene Hesekia ka nie: Saa ɛda yi yɛ ɔhaw, animka ne animguaseɛ da. Ayɛ te sɛ deɛ mmɔfra awoɔ duru so na ahoɔden a wɔde bɛwo wɔn nni hɔ.
4 Kiyinzika okuba nga Mukama Katonda wo yawulidde obubaka bwonna obwa Labusake, mukama we kabaka w’e Bwasuli bwe yaweereza ng’anyooma Katonda omulamu, era nti amunenye olw’ebigambo byonna Mukama Katonda wo by’awulidde. Noolwekyo ssabira ekitundu ekikyasigaddewo.”
Nanso, ebia Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn ate sɛ Asiria ɔnanmusini no regu Onyankopɔn teasefoɔ no anim ase, na wɔbɛtwe nʼaso wɔ ne nsɛnkeka no ho. Enti mommɔ mpaeɛ mma nkaeɛfoɔ a wɔte nkwa mu no.”
5 Awo abakungu ba Kabaka Keezeekiya bwe baatuuka eri Isaaya,
Na ɔhene Hesekia mpanimfoɔ no kɔkaa ɔhene nkra no kyerɛɛ Yesaia,
6 Isaaya n’abagamba nti, “Mutegeeze mukama wammwe nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, Ebigambo by’owulidde, abaddu ba kabaka w’e Bwasuli bye banvumye, tebikutiisa.
na Yesaia buaa sɛ, “Ka kyerɛ wo wura sɛ, ‘Sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie: Mma abususɛm a Asiriahene asomafoɔ no ka tiaa me no nha wo.
7 Wuliriza! Nzija kumuteekamu omwoyo, awulire olugambo ku bikwata ku nsi ye addeyo mu nsi ye, era gye ndimuzikiririza n’ekitala.’”
Montie! Mede honhom bi rebɛhyɛ ne mu, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a sɛ ɔte asɛm bi a ɔbɛsane akɔ ne ɔman mu, na ɛhɔ na mɛma wɔde akofena akum no.’”
8 Labusake bwe yawulira nti kabaka w’e Bwasuli avudde mu Lakisi, n’avaayo, n’asanga kabaka ng’alwana ne Libuna.
Ɛberɛ a ɔsahene no tee sɛ Asiriahene afiri Lakis no, ɔsanee nʼakyi kɔhunuu sɛ ɔhene no ne Libna reko.
9 Awo Sennakeribu n’afuna obubaka obukwata ku Tiraka kabaka w’e Esiyopya nti, “Laba amaliridde okulwana naawe,” era n’addamu n’atuma ababaka eri Keezeekiya ng’agamba nti,
Ankyɛre, ɔhene Sanaherib nyaa nkra sɛ, Etiopiahene Tirhaka adi akodɔm anim, rebɛko atia no. Na ansa na ɔbɛsane akohyia akodɔm no, ɔtoo saa nkra yi sɛ wɔmfa nkɔma Hesekia wɔ Yerusalem.
10 “Bwe muti bwe munagamba Keezeekiya kabaka wa Yuda nti, ‘Tokkiriza Katonda wo gwe weesiga kukulimbalimba ng’akusuubiza nti Yerusaalemi teriweebwayo mu mukono gwa kabaka w’e Bwasuli.’
“Monka nkyerɛ Yudahene Hesekia sɛ: Ɛmma onyame a wode wo ho ato no so no nnaadaa mo nka sɛ, ‘Asiriahene rentumi mfa Yerusalem.’
11 Ekyamazima wawulira bakabaka b’e Bwasuli kye bakoze amawanga gonna, nga bagasaanyizaawo ddala. Olowooza nti olirokolebwa?
Moate deɛ Asiria ahemfo ayɛ amanaman no nyinaa. Wɔasɛe wɔn pasaa. Na mo deɛ wɔbɛgye mo anaa?
12 Bakatonda baamawanga ag’e Gozani, n’e Kalani, n’e Lezefu, n’abantu ba Adeni abaali mu Terasali, abasaanyizibwawo bajjajjange, babalokola?
Anyame a wɔwɔ aman a me nananom sɛee wɔn no, aman te sɛ Gosan, Haran, Resef ne Edenfoɔ a na wɔwɔ Telasar no anyame gyee wɔn anaa?
13 Kabaka w’e Kamasi, kabaka w’e Alupadi, kabaka w’ekibuga kya Sefavayimu, oba kabaka w’e Kena oba kabaka w’e Yiva, bali ludda wa?”
Ɛhe na Hamathene ne Arpadhene, kuropɔn Sefarwaim anaa Hena anaa Iwa ahemfo no wɔ?”
14 Keezeekiya n’afuna ebbaluwa eyaleetebwa ababaka, n’agisoma. N’ayambuka n’agenda mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’agyanjuluza mu maaso ga Mukama.
Hesekia nsa kaa krataa a abɔfoɔ no de baeɛ no, ɔkenkaneeɛ. Afei ɔforo kɔɔ Awurade asɔredan no mu kɔtrɛɛ mu wɔ Awurade anim.
15 Keezeekiya n’asaba eri Mukama ng’agamba nti, “Ayi Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, atuula waggulu ku bakerubi, ggwe wekka, ggwe Katonda ow’obwakabaka bwonna obw’ensi, era ggwe wakola eggulu n’ensi.
Na Hesekia bɔɔ mpaeɛ kyerɛɛ Awurade sɛ: “Ao, Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn a wodi ɔhene firi Kerubim ntam, wo nko ara na woyɛ Onyankopɔn wɔ asase so ahennie nyinaa so. Wo na wobɔɔ ɔsoro ne asase.
16 Otege okutu kwo, Ayi Mukama, owulire; ozibule amaaso go Ayi Mukama, olabe; owulire ebigambo bya Sennakeribu, byayogedde ng’avvoola Katonda omulamu.
Brɛ wʼaso ase, Ao Awurade, na tie! Bue wʼani, Ao Awurade, na hwɛ! Tie Sanaherib nsɛm a ɔka de bu Onyankopɔn teasefoɔ no animtiaa.
17 “Kya mazima, Ayi Mukama, nti bakabaka b’e Bwasuli baazikiriza amawanga n’ensi zaabwe,
“Awurade, ɛyɛ nokorɛ sɛ Asiria ahemfo asɛe aman yi nyinaa, sɛdeɛ nkra no ka no.
18 ne basuula bakatonda baabwe mu muliro. Naye abo tebaali Katonda, baali mirimu gy’emikono gy’abantu, nga mbaawo n’amayinja, era kyebaava bazikirizibwa.
Na wɔato aman yi anyame agu ogya mu, ahye wɔn. Asiriafoɔ no tumi sɛe wɔn ɛfiri sɛ na wɔnyɛ anyame koraa. Na wɔyɛ nnua ne aboɔ ahoni a nnipa de wɔn nsa ayɛ.
19 Kaakano, Ayi Mukama, Katonda waffe, tukwegayiridde, otulokole mu mukono gwe, amawanga gonna ku nsi gamanye nga ggwe, Ayi Mukama, gwe Katonda wekka.”
Afei, Ao Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn, gye yɛn firi ne tumi ase, na ɛbɛma ahennie a ɛwɔ asase so nyinaa ahunu sɛ wo nko ara, Ao Awurade, na woyɛ Onyankopɔn.”
20 Awo Isaaya mutabani wa Amozi n’aweereza Keezeekiya obubaka nti: “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, Mpulidde okusaba kwo ku bikwata ku Sennakeribu kabaka w’e Bwasuli.
Na Amos babarima Yesaia too saa nkra yi kɔmaa Hesekia sɛ, “Sɛdeɛ Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, seɛ nie: ‘Mate wo mpaeɛbɔ a ɛfa Asiriahene Sanaherib ho no.
21 Kino kye kigambo Mukama ky’ayogedde ku bimukwatako: “‘Omuwala wa Sayuuni embeerera akunyooma era akusekerera. Omuwala wa Yerusaalemi akunyeenyeza omutwe gwe nga bw’odduka.
Yei ne asɛm a Awurade aka atia no: “‘Ɔbabaabunu Sion sopa wo, na ɔsere wo. Ɔbabaa Yerusalem di wo ho fɛ, na ɔwoso ne ti ɛberɛ a woredwane.
22 Ani gw’ovumye era n’ovvoola? Ani gw’okandulidde eddoboozi lyo, era ani gw’oyimusirizza amaaso go n’amalala? Obikoze Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri!
Hwan na wasopa no na woagu ne ho fi yi? Hwan na woama wo nne so atia no na wohwɛɛ no ahantan so? Ɛyɛ Israel ɔkronkronni no!
23 Ojereze Mukama ng’oyita mu babaka bo. Era ogambye nti, “Nninye ku ntikko z’ensozi n’amagaali gange amangi, ku ntikko ezisingirayo ddala obuwanvu eza Lebanooni. Ntemye emivule egisingirayo ddala obuwanvu n’emiberosi gyayo egisingirayo ddala obulungi. Ntuuse ne mu bifo ebisingirayo ddala okuba ebikusike ne mu bibira ebisingirayo ddala okuba ebirungi.
Wonam wʼasomafoɔ so adi Awurade ho fɛw. Na woaka sɛ, “Mede me nteaseɛnam bebrebe no adi bepɔ tentene pa ara so, aane, Lebanon nkokoɔ a ɛwɔ akyirikyiri no. Matwitwa ntweneduro atentene pa ara ne ne pepeaa a ɛdi mu no nso agu fam. Maduru ne twetwɛwa so akyirikyiri na manantenante ne kwaeɛbirentuo mu.
24 Nsimye enzizi mu bannamawanga, n’enywa amazzi gaamu. Nkazizza emigga egy’e Misiri gyonna, nga ngirinnyirira n’ebisinziiro by’ebigere byange.”
Matutu nsubura wɔ ahɔhoɔ nsase bebree so de ne nsu pa no adwodwo me ho. Mpo, mepaee Misraim nsubɔntene mu sɛdeɛ mʼakodɔm bɛtumi atwa!”
25 “‘Tewawulira nga nakisalawo dda? Mu biro eby’edda nakiteekateeka, era kaakano nkituukirizza, olyoke ofuule ebibuga ebiriko bbugwe okuba ng’entuumo y’amayinja.
“‘Na Monteeɛ? Ɛberɛ tentene a atwam na mehyɛ too hɔ. Ɛberɛ bi a atwam no na medwenee ho; afei mama aba mu sɛ, moadane nkuropɔn a mosɛe nkuro a wɔwɔ banbɔ ma wɔdane aboɔ asie.
26 Ababituulamu tebakyalina buyinza, batekemuse era baswazibbwa. Bafaanana ng’ebimera eby’omu nnimiro, ng’omuddo omubisi, ng’omuddo ogusibuse mu busolya bw’ennyumba, ne gutugibwa nga tegunnakula.
Wɔn nkurɔfoɔ a tumi afiri wɔn nsa no ho adwiri wɔn na animguaseɛ aka wɔn. Wɔte sɛ afuo so nnua, ne afifideɛ foforɔ a ɛyɛ mmrɛ; wɔte sɛ ɛserɛ a ɛfifiri ɛdan atifi a owia tumi hye so sɛe no.
27 “‘Naye mmanyi obutuuliro bwo era mmanyi okufuluma kwo n’okuyingira kwo n’obuswandi bw’ondaga.
“‘Nanso, menim deɛ woteɛ ɛberɛ a woba ne ɛberɛ a wokorɔ ne sɛdeɛ wo bo huru tia me.
28 Kubanga ondaze obuswandi bwo, n’obujoozi bwo ne mbuwulira mu matu gange, kyendiva nteeka eddobo lyange mu nnyindo yo n’olukoba lwange mu mumwa gwo, era oliddirayo mu kkubo lye wajjiramu.’
Na ɛsiane mo ahomasoɔ a ɛtia me, na mʼankasa mate no enti, mede me darewa bɛsɔ mo hwene mu, na mede nnareka ato mo ano, na mama mo afa ɛkwan a mofaa so baeɛ no so, asane mo akyi.’
29 “Era kano ke kanaaba akabonero ko, ggwe Keezeekiya. “Omwaka guno olirya ekyo ekimera kyokka, ne mu mwaka ogwokubiri ekiriva mw’ekyo. Naye mu mwaka ogwokusatu siga era okungule; era simba ennimiro ez’emizabbibu, olye ku bibala bya kwo.
“Yei na ɛbɛyɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ ama woɔ, Ao Hesekia: “Saa afe yi wobɛdi deɛ ɛno ankasa fifirie, afe a ɛtɔ so mmienu no, wobɛdi deɛ ɛfiri mu ba. Na afe a ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa so no, mobɛdua mfudeɛ, na moatwa. Mobɛyɛ bobe nturo, na moadi nʼaba no.
30 Ekitundu ekisigaddewo eky’ennyumba ya Isirayiri kyekiriva kiddamu ne kisimba emizi wansi, ne kibala ebibala waggulu.
Na mo a moaka Yuda a moatumi agyina ntua no mu ɔhaw ne abɛbrɛsɛ no ano no, mobɛsane atena mo asase so, na mobɛdi yie na moadɔre.
31 Mu Yerusaalemi muliva ekitundu ekifisseewo, ne mu Lusozi Sayuuni ne muva abo abaliwona. Obuggya bwa Mukama ow’Eggye bulikituukiriza.
Na nkaeɛfoɔ bi bɛfiri Yerusalem aba, na nkaeɛfoɔ dɔm afiri Bepɔ Sion so. Asafo Awurade di nsiyɛ bɛhwɛ ama yei aba mu.
32 “Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ku bikwata ku kabaka w’e Bwasuli, nti, “‘Kabaka oyo taliyingira mu kibuga kino, wadde okulasayo akasaale. Talikisemberera n’engabo newaakubadde okutuumako ekifunvu ng’akitaayiza.
“Yei ne asɛm a Awurade ka fa Asiriahene ho: “Ɔrenhyɛne saa kuropɔn yi mu na ɔrento bɛmma wɔ ha. Ɔremfa akokyɛm mmɛnnyina kuropɔn no akyi na ɔrensi otua pie ntia no.
33 Ekkubo lye yakwata ng’ajja, omwo mw’aliddira, naye taliyingira mu kibuga kino, bw’ayogera Mukama.
Ɔhene no kwan a ɔfaa so baeɛ no ara so na ɔbɛsane afa akɔ nʼankasa ɔman mu. Awurade ka sɛ, ɔrenwura saa kuro yi mu.
34 Ndirwanirira ekibuga kino nkirokole, ku lwange, ne ku lw’omuddu wange Dawudi.’”
Esiane mʼankasa mʼanimuonyam ne mʼakoa Dawid enti, mɛbɔ ho ban.”
35 Ekiro ekyo malayika wa Mukama n’agenda mu nkambi ey’Abasuuli n’atta abasajja emitwalo kkumi na munaana mu enkumi ttaano. Ku makya abantu bwe baagolokoka, laba nga bonna mirambo.
Saa anadwo no, Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ kɔɔ Asiria sraban mu, kɔkumm Asiria akodɔm no mpem ɔha aduɔwɔtwe enum. Asiriafoɔ a wɔkaeɛ no nyanee anɔpa no, wɔhunuu sɛ afunu gugu mmɔntene so baabiara.
36 Awo Sennakeribu kabaka w’e Bwasuli n’ava mu nkambi, n’addayo ewuwe, n’agenda n’abeera e Nineeve.
Na Asiriahene Sanaherib gyaee ɔko no, kɔɔ nʼankasa nʼasase so. Ɔkɔtenaa nʼahenkuro Ninewe mu.
37 Awo bwe yali ng’asinziza mu ssabo lya katonda we Nisuloki Adulammereki ne Salezeri batabani be ne bamutta n’ekitala, ne baddukira mu nsi y’e Alalati. Esaladoni mutabani we n’amusikira.
