< 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 ɛberɛ no mu, ɔhene Hesekia yaree yarewuo, ɛnna Amos babarima odiyifoɔ Yesaia kɔsraa no. Ɔkaa saa asɛm yi kyerɛɛ ɔhene no, “Sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie: Hyɛ wo nsamanseɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, wobɛwu. Wo yadeɛ no rennyae.”
2 Keezeekiya ne yeekyusa n’atunuulira ekisenge, ne yeegayirira Mukama ng’agamba nti,
Ɛberɛ a Hesekia tee asɛm yi, ɔtwaa nʼani hwɛɛ fasuo, bɔɔ Awurade mpaeɛ sɛ,
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, Ao, Awurade, sɛdeɛ manante wʼanim nokorɛm na mede mʼakoma ayɛ deɛ 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 bɛfiri adihɔ no mfimfini no, Awurade de asɛm yi bɛsii ne so sɛ,
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.
“Sane kɔ Hesekia a ɔyɛ me nkurɔfoɔ ɔkannifoɔ no nkyɛn, na kɔka kyerɛ no sɛ, ‘Sei na Awurade a ɔyɛ wʼagya Dawid Onyankopɔn seɛ: Mate wo mpaeɛbɔ no, ahunu wo nisuo no. Mɛsa wo yadeɛ, na nnansa akyi no, wobɛsɔre afiri 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 mfeɛ dunum bɛka wo mfeɛ ho, na mɛgye wo ne saa kuropɔn yi afiri Asiriahene nsam. Me ɔsomfoɔ Dawid enti, mɛyɛ yei, de agye mʼanimuonyam.’”
7 Awo Isaaya n’alagira baleete ekitole ky’ettiini, ne bakisiiga ku jjute, Keezeekiya n’awona.
Na Yesaia ka kyerɛɛ Hesekia asomfoɔ no sɛ, “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 ɔrebɛnya ayaresa no, Hesekia bisaa Yesaia sɛ, “Nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ bɛn na Awurade bɛyɛ, de akyerɛ sɛ ɔbɛsa me yadeɛ, 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 buaa sɛ, “Yei ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a Awurade bɛyɛ akyerɛ wo sɛ ɔbɛdi ne bɔhyɛ so. Wopɛ sɛ sunsum a ɛda sunsumma susuniwa no kɔ nʼanim anammɔntuo edu anaa ɛsane nʼakyi anammɔntuo edu?”
10 Keezeekiya n’addamu nti, “Kintu kyangu nnyo ekisiikirize okugenda mu maaso amadaala kkumi, Noolwekyo kiddeyo emabega amadaala kkumi.”
Hesekia buaa sɛ, “Sunsum no kɔ nʼanim ɛberɛ 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 bisaa Awurade sɛ ɔnyɛ yei, na ɔmaa sunsum no tete sane nʼakyi anammɔntuo edu wɔ Ahas sunsumma susuniwa 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.
Yei akyi, Babiloniahene Baladan babarima Merodak-Baladan soma ma wɔkɔmaa Hesekia tirinkwa ne akyɛdeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, na wate sɛ yare denden 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 ananmusifoɔ yi, kyerɛɛ wɔn biribiara a ɔwɔ wɔ nʼadekoradan mu a ɛyɛ dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ, nnuhwam ne ngo a ɛyɛ hwam. Afei nso, ɔde wɔn kɔɔ nʼadekorabea, sane kyerɛɛ wɔn nʼadekoradan mu biribiara. Biribiara nni nʼahemfie hɔ anaa nʼahemman 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.”
Na odiyifoɔ Yesaia kɔɔ ɔhene Hesekia nkyɛn, kɔbisaa no sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na saa nnipa no repɛ? Na wɔfiri he na wɔbaeɛ?” Hesekia buaa sɛ, “Wɔfiri Babilonia akyirikyiri asase so pɛɛ.”
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.”
Yesaia bisaa no sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na wɔhunuu wɔ wʼahemfie hɔ?” Hesekia buaa sɛ, “Wɔhunuu biribiara a ɛwɔ mʼahemfie ha. Biribiara nni mʼademudeɛ mu a mamfa ankyerɛ wɔn.”
16 Isaaya n’agamba Keezeekiya nti, “Wuliriza Mukama Katonda ky’agamba:
Na Yesaia ka kyerɛɛ Hesekia sɛ, “Tie saa asɛm a ɛfiri 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.
Ɛberɛ bi reba a biribiara a wowɔ no, agyapadeɛ a wʼagyanom akora no nyinaa, wɔbɛtwe akɔ Babilonia a ɛrenka hwee. Sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie:
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 wʼasefoɔ bi mpo, wɔbɛfa wɔn nnommum. Wɔbɛyɛ apiafoɔ a wɔbɛsom wɔ Babiloniahene ahemfie.”
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 sɛ, “Saa asɛm yi a ɛfiri Awurade nkyɛn a woaka akyerɛ me yi yɛ asɛm papa.” Nanso, na ɔhene no redwene sɛ, “Me berɛ so deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ yɛnya asomdwoeɛ ne banbɔ.”
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 ɛsisii Hesekia ahennie mu nkaeɛ no a ne tumidie ka ho, ne sɛdeɛ ɔyɛɛ subunu, twaa suka maa nsuo baa kuro no mu no nyinaa, wɔatwerɛ agu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
21 Keezeekiya n’afa, mutabani we Manase n’amusikira okuba kabaka.
Ɛberɛ a Hesekia wuiɛ no, ne babarima Manase na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
