1 Awo olwatuuka, mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’ena ogw’obufuzi bwa kabaka Keezeekiya, Sennakeribu kabaka w’e Bwasuli n’ayambuka okulumba ebibuga byonna ebya Yuda ebyali bizimbiddwako bbugwe n’abiwamba.

Ɔhene Hesekia adedie mfeɛ dunan so no, Asiriahene Sanaherib bɛto hyɛɛ Yuda nkuropɔn a wɔabɔ ho ban no so dii so.

2 Awo kabaka w’e Bwasuli n’asindika Labusake omuduumizi we ow’oku ntikko okuva e Lakisi n’eggye eddene ayolekere Yerusaalemi ewa kabaka Keezeekiya. Omuduumizi ono n’asimba amakanda ku mabbali g’omukutu gw’amazzi omunene ku luguudo olugenda ku Nnimiro y’Omwozi w’Engoye.

Afei, Asiriahene somaa nʼananmusifoɔ firi Lakis a akodɔm kɛseɛ ka ne ho kɔhyiaa Ɔhene Hesekia wɔ Yerusalem. Ɛberɛ a ɔsahene no bɛgyinaa nsudorobɛn bi a ɛfiri Atifi Tadeɛ de kɔ Ntomasifoɔ Atenaeɛ hɔ no,

3 Awo Eriyakimu mutabani wa Kirukiya, eyali akulira olubiri, ne Sebuna omuwandiisi, ne Yoswa mutabani wa Asafu eyavunaanyizibwanga ebiwandiiko ne bafuluma okumusisinkana.

Hilkia babarima Eliakim a na ɔhwɛ ahemfie no ntotoeɛ so ne Sebna a na ɔyɛ ɔtwerɛfoɔ ne Asaf babarima Yoa a na ɔno nso yɛ ɔtwerɛfoɔ kɔhyiaa no.

4 Labusake n’abagamba nti, “Mugambe Keezeekiya nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera kabaka omukulu, kabaka w’e Bwasuli nti, Kiki ddala kye weesiga?

Na ɔsahene no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monka nkyerɛ Hesekia sɛ, “‘Asɛm a otumfoɔ Asiriahene ka nie: Ɛdeɛn na wode wo ho to so a ɛma wogye wo ho di saa?

5 Olowooza ebigambo obugambo birina amaanyi n’amagezi okuwangula olutalo. Ani gwe weesiga olyoke onjemere?

Woka sɛ wowɔ akodie ho nyansa ne nʼahoɔden, nanso woka nsɛm hunu. Hwan na ɔtaa wʼakyi a enti wote mʼanim atua?

6 Laba weesiga Misiri, ogwo omuggo obuggo, olumuli olubetente, oluyinza okufumita engalo z’omuntu ng’alwesigamyeko: bw’atyo Falaawo, ye kabaka w’e Misiri bw’ayisa bonna abamwesiga.’

Misraim anaa? Sɛ wotwere Misraim a, wobɛhunu sɛ, ɛte sɛ abaa a wo mu duru bɛbu no, na awɔ wo ahwire wo nsam. Misraim Farao mpo mu nni ahotosoɔ korakora.

7 Naye bw’onoŋŋamba nti, ‘Twesiga Mukama Katonda waffe,’ si ye yali nannyini byoto n’ebifo ebigulumivu Keezeekiya bye yaggyawo n’agamba Yuda ne Yerusaalemi nti, ‘Mu maaso g’ekyoto kino we munaasinzizanga’?

Na sɛ moka kyerɛ me sɛ, “Yɛde yɛn ho ato Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn so” a, ɛnyɛ ɔno na Hesekia yiyii nʼasɔreɛ ne nʼafɔrebukyia na ɔka kyerɛɛ Yuda ne Yerusalem sɛ, “Ɛsɛ sɛ mosɔre wɔ saa afɔrebukyia yi anim no” anaa?

8 “‘Kale nno Mukama wange Kabaka w’e Bwasuli agamba nti, Ajja kukuwa embalaasi enkumi bbiri bw’obanga ddala olina abanaazeebagala.

“‘Mɛka asɛm bi akyerɛ wo! Me wura Asiriahene ne wo bɛyɛ nhyehyɛeɛ bi. Sɛ wobɛnya apɔnkɔsotefoɔ mpenu, afiri wʼasraadɔm mu a, ɔbɛma wɔn apɔnkɔ mpenu ama wɔatenatena wɔn so.

9 Mu mbeera eyo gy’olimu oyinza otya okuwangula wadde omuduumizi asembayo obunafu mu gye lyaffe ne bwe weesiga ebigaali n’embalaasi za Misiri?

Na wʼasraadɔm ketewa sɛɛ yi, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na woaso daeɛ sɛ wobɛtumi ne me wura akodɔm no mu fa bi a wɔyɛ mmerɛ mpo adi asie. Menim sɛ wode wo ho ato Misraim nteaseɛnam ne apɔnkɔsotefoɔ mmoa so.

10 Ate ekirala olowooza nzize okulumba ensi eno n’okugizikiriza nga Mukama si y’andagidde? Mukama yaŋŋamba nnumbe ensi eno ngizikirize.’”

Bio, wogye di sɛ, maba sɛ merebɛto ahyɛ asase yi so asɛe no kwa a Awurade nsa nni mu? Awurade ankasa ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, menkɔko ntia saa asase yi na mensɛe no.’”

11 Awo Eriyakimu ne Sebuna ne Yoswa ne bagamba Labusake nti, “Tukwegayiridde yogera n’abaddu bo mu Lusuuli kubanga tulumanyi, toyogera naffe mu Luyudaaya ng’abantu abali ku bbugwe bawulira.”

Na Eliakim, Sebna ne Yoa ka kyerɛɛ ɔsahene no sɛ, “Yɛsrɛ mo, monka Arameike kasa nkyerɛ mo asomfoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, yɛte aseɛ yie. Monnka Hebri na nnipa a wɔwɔ ɔfasuo no so no bɛte aseɛ.”

12 Naye Labusake n’ayogera nti, “Ebyo ebigambo Mukama wange yantumye kubyogera eri mukama wo n’eri ggwe mwekka, so si n’eri abasajja abatudde ku bbugwe abali nga mmwe abagenda okulya obubi bwabwe n’okunywa omusulo gwabwe?”

Na ɔsahene no buaa sɛ, “Me wura pɛ sɛ obiara a ɔwɔ Yerusalem te saa asɛm yi, na ɛnyɛ mo nko. Ɔpɛ sɛ wɔte sɛ, sɛ moamma mo nsa so a, wɔbɛtua kuropɔn yi. Ɛkɔm ne sukɔm werɛmfoɔ bɛde nkurɔfoɔ no ara kɔsi sɛ, wɔbɛdi wɔn ara agyanan, anom wɔn dwonsɔ.”

13 Awo Labusake n’ayimirira n’ayogera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka mu lulimi olw’Abayudaaya nti, “Muwulire ebigambo bya kabaka omukulu, kabaka w’e Bwasuli.

Afei, ɔsahene no sɔre gyina kasaa Hebri mu sɛ, “Montie saa nkra yi a ɛfiri ɔhempɔn, Asiriahene no nkyɛn!

14 Kabaka agambye bw’ati nti, Temukkiriza Keezeekiya kubalimbalimba tayinza kubawonya.

Sɛdeɛ ɔhene no seɛ nie: Mommma Hesekia nnaadaa mo. Ɔrentumi nye mo!

15 Temukkiriza Keezeekiya kubasigula ng’abagamba nti, ‘Mukama ddala ajja kutununula, ekibuga kino tekijja kugwa mu mukono gwa Bwasuli.’

Mommma Hesekia mfa saa asɛm a ɔkaa no sɛ, ‘Awurade bɛgye yɛn! Wɔremfa saa kuro yi mma Asiriahene’ no, mma mo tirim nyɛ mo dɛ.

16 “Temuwuliriza Keezeekiya kubanga bw’ati bw’ayogera kabaka w’e Bwasuli nti, ‘Mutabagane nange mufulume mujje gye ndi, olwo buli muntu ku mmwe lw’alirya ku muzabbibu gwe na buli muntu ku mutiini gwe, era buli omu alinywa ku mazzi ag’omu kidiba kye,

“Monntie Hesekia. Yeinom ne nhyehyɛeɛ a Asiriahene reyɛ. Mo ne me nni no asomdwoeɛ so. Mommue apono no, na mompue mmra. Na mɛma mo mu biara ɛkwan, na moatoa so adidi afiri mo bobe ne borɔdɔma mfikyifuo mu, anom nsuo afiri mo ara mo abura mu,

kɔsi sɛ mɛba abɛfa mo akɔ asase a ɛte sɛ mo deɛ yi so, ayuo ne nsã foforɔ asase, aduane ne bobe mfuo asase.

18 “Mwekuume Keezeekiya aleme okubasendasenda ng’ayogera nti, ‘Mukama alibalokola.’ Waliwo katonda yenna ow’amawanga eyali awonyezza ensi ye mu mukono gwa kabaka w’e Bwasuli?

“Mommma Hesekia nka sɛ, ‘Awurade bɛgye yɛn,’ mfa nnaadaa mo. Ɔman bi so nyame atumi agye ne ɔman afiri Asiriahene nsam pɛn anaa?

19 Bali ludda wa bakatonda ab’e Kamasi ne Alupadi? Bali ludda wa bakatonda ab’e Sefarayimu? Baali bawonyezza Samaliya mu mukono gwange?

Ɛhe na Hamat ne Arpad anyame no wɔ? Na Sefarwaim anyame no nso wɔ he? Wɔagye Samaria afiri me nsam anaa?

20 Baani ku bakatonda bonna ab’ensi ezo abaali bawonyezza ensi zaabwe mu mukono gwange? Kale Mukama asobola atya okuwonya Yerusaalemi mu mukono gwange?”

Ɔman bɛn so nyame na watumi agye ne manfoɔ afiri me tumi ase? Na afei ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na Awurade bɛtumi agye Yerusalem afiri me nsam?”

21 Kyokka bo baasirika busirisi tebaddamu, kubanga kabaka yali alagidde nti, “Temumuddamu.”

Na nnipa no yɛɛ komm a wɔamma mmuaeɛ biara, ɛfiri sɛ, na Hesekia aka akyerɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnnkasa.

22 Awo Eriyakimu mutabani wa Kirukiya eyali akulira olubiri ne Sebuna Omuwandiisi ne Yoswa mutabani wa Asafu Omukuumi w’ebiwandiiko, ne baddayo eri Keezeekiya nga bayuzizza engoye zaabwe, ne bamubuulira ebigambo bya Labusake.

Afei, Hilkia babarima Eliakim a na ɔhwɛ ahemfie no ntotoeɛ so ne Sebna a na ɔyɛ ɔtwerɛfoɔ ne Asaf babarima Yoa a ɔno nso yɛ ɔtwerɛfoɔ kɔɔ Hesekia nkyɛn a wɔasunsuane wɔn ntadeɛ mu, kɔkaa deɛ ɔsahene no aka kyerɛɛ no.
