2 Bassekabaka 20

1 Mu biro ebyo Keezeekiya n’alwala n’abulako katono okufa. Nnabbi Isaaya mutabani wa Amozi n’agenda gy’ali n’amugamba nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti: Teekateeka ennyumba yo, kubanga ogenda kufa so togenda kuwona.”

Saa nna no mu no, Hesekia yaree owuyare, na Amos babarima Odiyifo Yesaia kɔɔ ne nkyɛn kɔkae se, “Sɛnea Awurade se ni: Toto wʼakwan yiye, efisɛ worebewu; na wo ho renyɛ wo den bio.”

2 Keezeekiya ne yeekyusa n’atunuulira ekisenge, ne yeegayirira Mukama ng’agamba nti,

Bere a Hesekia tee asɛm yi, otwaa nʼani hwɛɛ ɔfasu, bɔɔ Awurade mpae se,

3 “Jjukira, Ayi Mukama Katonda, nga bwe ntambulidde mu maaso go mu bwesigwa n’omutima ogutuukiridde, era ne nkola ebirungi mu maaso go.” Keezeekiya n’akaaba nnyo.

“Kae, Awurade, sɛnea manantew wʼanim nokware mu na mede me koma ayɛ nea ɛfata wɔ wʼanim.” Na Hesekia suu bebree.

4 Awo Isaaya bwe yali nga tannava mu luggya olwa wakati, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kimujjira nti,

Na ansa na Yesaia befi adiwo no mfimfini no, Awurade de asɛm yi besii ne so se,

5 “Ddayo ogambe Keezeekiya omukulembeze w’abantu bange nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama, Katonda wa jjajjaawo Dawudi nti: Mpulidde okusaba kwo, era n’amaziga go ngalabye. Nzija kukuwonya. Oluvannyuma lw’ennaku ssatu onooyambuka n’olaga mu yeekaalu ya Mukama.

“San kɔ Hesekia a ɔyɛ me nkurɔfo kannifo no nkyɛn, na kɔka kyerɛ no se, ‘Sɛɛ na Awurade a ɔyɛ wʼagya Dawid Nyankopɔn se: Mate wo mpaebɔ no, ahu wo nusu no. Mɛsa wo yare, na nnansa akyi no, wobɛsɔre afi mpa so, na woakɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu.

6 Ndikwongerako emyaka emirala kkumi n’ettaano, era laba ndikulokola ggwe n’ekibuga kino mu mukono gwa kabaka w’e Bwasuli, nga nnwanirira ekibuga kino ku lwange nze ne ku lw’omuddu wange Dawudi.’”

Mede mfe dunum bɛka wo mfe ho, na megye wo ne saa kuropɔn yi afi Asiriahene nsam. Me somfo Dawid nti, mɛyɛ eyi de agye mʼanuonyam.’”

7 Awo Isaaya n’alagira baleete ekitole ky’ettiini, ne bakisiiga ku jjute, Keezeekiya n’awona.

Na Yesaia ka kyerɛɛ Hesekia asomfo no se, “Momfa borɔdɔma nyɛ ngo, na momfa nsrasra pɔmpɔ no so.” Wɔyɛɛ saa, na Hesekia nyaa ahoɔden.

8 Keezeekiya yali abuuzizza Isaaya nti, “Kabonero ki akalindaga nti Mukama amponyezza, era nti ndyambuka mu yeekaalu ya Mukama nga wayiseewo ennaku ssatu?”

Ansa na ɔrebenya ayaresa no, Hesekia bisaa Yesaia se, “Nsɛnkyerɛnne bɛn na Awurade bɛyɛ, de akyerɛ sɛ ɔbɛsa me yare, na matumi akɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu nnansa so?”

9 Isaaya n’addamu nti, “Kano ke kaliba akabonero gy’oli okuva eri Mukama nti ajja kutuukiriza kye yasuubiza: ekisiikirize kinaatambula mu maaso amadaala kkumi, oba kinaaddayo emabega amadaala kkumi?”

Yesaia buae se, “Eyi ne nsɛnkyerɛnne a Awurade bɛyɛ akyerɛ wo sɛ obedi ne bɔhyɛ so. Wopɛ sɛ sunsuma no kɔ nʼanim anammɔntu du anaa ɛsan nʼakyi anammɔntu du?”

10 Keezeekiya n’addamu nti, “Kintu kyangu nnyo ekisiikirize okugenda mu maaso amadaala kkumi, Noolwekyo kiddeyo emabega amadaala kkumi.”

Hesekia buae se, “Honhom no kɔ nʼanim bere biara. Na mmom, ma ɛnkɔ nʼakyi.”

11 Awo Isaaya n’akoowoola erinnya lya Mukama, era Mukama n’azzaayo ekisiikirize emabega amadaala kkumi okuva ne we kyali ku madaala ga Akazi.

Enti Yesaia srɛɛ Awurade sɛ ɔnyɛ eyi, na ɔmaa sunsuma no tetew san nʼakyi anammɔntu du wɔ Ahas atrapoe no so.

12 Mu biro ebyo Berodakubaladani mutabani wa Baladani kabaka w’e Babulooni n’aweereza Keezeekiya ebbaluwa n’ekirabo, kubanga yawulira nti Keezeekiya yali alwadde.

Saa bere yi mu na Babiloniahene Baladan babarima Merodak-Baladan soma ma wɔkɔmaa Hesekia tirinkwa ne akyɛde, efisɛ na wate sɛ ɔyare dennen bi bɔɔ Hesekia.

13 Keezeekiya n’ayaniriza ababaka abaleeta ebbaluwa, n’abalambuza amawanika ge gonna omwali eby’omuwendo ebingi ng’effeeza, ne zaabu, n’ebyakaloosa n’amafuta ag’omuwendo omungi. Yabalambuza ennyumba omwali ebyokulwanyisa, n’eby’omuwendo ebirala ebyali mu mawanika ge. Tewali kintu mu lubiri wadde mu bwakabaka bwe bwonna Keezeekiya ky’ataabalaga.

Hesekia gyee Babilonia ananmusifo yi, kyerɛɛ wɔn biribiara a ɔwɔ wɔ nʼadekoradan mu a ɛyɛ dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ, nnuhuam ne ngo a ɛyɛ huam. Afei nso, ɔde wɔn kɔɔ nʼadekorabea, san kyerɛɛ wɔn nʼadekoradan mu biribiara. Biribiara nni nʼahemfi hɔ anaa nʼaheman mu hɔ a Hesekia ankyerɛ wɔn.

14 Awo nnabbi Isaaya n’agenda eri Kabaka Keezeekiya n’amubuuza nti, “Abasajja abo bagambye ki era bavudde wa?” Keezeekiya n’addamu nti, “Bavudde mu nsi ey’ewala mu Babulooni.”

Afei Odiyifo Yesaia kɔɔ ɔhene Hesekia nkyɛn, kobisaa no se, “Asɛm bɛn na saa mmarima no kae na he na wofi bae?” Hesekia buae se, “Wofi akyirikyiri asase bi so. Wofi Babilonia, na wɔbaa me nkyɛn.”

15 Nnabbi n’amubuuza nti, “Balabye ki mu lubiri lwo?” N’addamu nti, “Balabye buli kintu mu lubiri lwange, tewali na kimu ku by’omu mawanika gange kye nabakwese.”

Odiyifo no bisae se, “Dɛn na wohuu wɔ wʼahemfi hɔ?” Hesekia buae se, “Wohuu biribiara a ɛwɔ mʼahemfi ha. Biribiara nni mʼademude mu a mamfa ankyerɛ wɔn.”

16 Isaaya n’agamba Keezeekiya nti, “Wuliriza Mukama Katonda ky’agamba:

Na Yesaia ka kyerɛɛ Hesekia se, “Tie saa asɛm a efi Awurade nkyɛn yi:

17 Laba, ekiseera kijja byonna ebiri mu lubiri lwo, ne byonna bajjajjaabo bye baatereka, lwe biritwalibwa e Babulooni. Tewaliba kintu ekirisigalawo,” bw’ayogera Mukama.

Nokware, bere bi bɛba a, wɔbɛsoa biribiara a ɛwɔ wʼahemfi ne agyapade a wʼagyanom akora de abedu nnɛ no akɔ Babilonia. Biribiara renka, sɛɛ na Awurade se.

18 “Era abamu ku bazzukulu bo, ab’omubiri gwo n’omusaayi gwo, abaliba bakuzaaliddwa balitwalibwa mu busibe, era baliba balaawe mu lubiri lwa kabaka w’e Babulooni.”

Wʼankasa wʼasefo bi mpo, wɔbɛfa wɔn nnommum. Wɔbɛyɛ piamfo a wɔbɛsom wɔ Babiloniahene ahemfi.”

19 Keezeekiya n’addamu nti, “Ekigambo kya Mukama ekyo ky’oyogedde kirungi.” Yalowooza mu mutima gwe nti, “Kasita, emirembe n’obutebenkevu binaabeerangawo mu mirembe gyange.”

Na Hesekia ka kyerɛɛ Yesaia se, “Saa asɛm yi a efi Awurade nkyɛn a woaka akyerɛ me yi yɛ asɛm papa.” Nanso na ɔhene no redwene sɛ, ne bere so de, obenya asomdwoe ne bammɔ.

20 Ebirala byonna ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Keezeekiya n’ebyobuzira bye byonna, ne bwe yakola ekidiba n’omudumu omunene ebyaleetanga amazzi mu kibuga, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo ky’ebyafaayo eky’ebyomumirembe bya bassekabaka ba Yuda?

Nsɛm a esisii Hesekia ahenni mu nkae no a ne tumidi ka ho, ne sɛnea ɔyɛɛ subun, twaa suka maa nsu baa kurow no mu no nyinaa, wɔankyerɛw angu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?

21 Keezeekiya n’afa, mutabani we Manase n’amusikira okuba kabaka.

Bere a Hesekia wui no, ne babarima Manase na odii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
