Isaaya 39
1 Awo mu nnaku ezo Merodakubaladani mutabani wa Baladani kabaka w’e Babulooni, n’aweereza Keezeekiya ebbaluwa n’ekirabo, kubanga yawulira nti yali alwadde naye ng’awonye.
Saa ɛberɛ no Merodak-Baladan a ɔyɛ Babiloniahene Baladan babarima soma ma wɔde krataa ne akyɛdeɛ kɔmaa Hesekia, ɛfiri sɛ na wate sɛ wayare ama ne ho atɔ no.
2 Keezeekiya n’abasanyukira, n’abalaga ennyumba ye ey’ebintu bye eby’omuwendo omungi, effeeza ne zaabu, n’ebyakaloosa, n’amafuta ag’omuwendo omungi, n’ennyumba yonna ey’ebyokulwanyisa. Byonna ebyali mu bugagga bwe, tewaali kintu mu nnyumba ye newaakubadde mu bwakabaka bwe bwonna Keezeekiya ky’ataabalaga.
Hesekia gyee asomafoɔ no fɛw so, na afei ɔde deɛ ɔwɔ wɔ nʼakoradan mu kyerɛɛ wɔn: dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ, nnuhwam, ngohwam, nʼakodeɛ akoraeɛ ne biribiara a ɛka nʼademudeɛ ho. Biribiara nni nʼahemfie ne nʼahennie mu a Hesekia amfa ankyerɛ wɔn.
3 Awo Isaaya nnabbi n’ajja eri kabaka Keezeekiya n’amubuuza nti, “Abasajja banno bagamba ki? Era bavudde wa okujja gy’oli?” Keezeekiya n’amuddamu nti, “Bazze wange, bava mu nsi ey’ewala e Babulooni.”
Afei Odiyifoɔ Yesaia kɔɔ ɔhene Hesekia nkyɛn, kɔbisaa no sɛ, “Asɛm bɛn na saa mmarima no kaaeɛ na ɛhe na wɔfiri baeɛ?” Hesekia buaa sɛ, “Wɔfiri akyirikyiri asase bi so. Wɔfiri Babilonia, na wɔbaa me nkyɛn.”
4 N’amubuuza nti, “Balabye ki mu nnyumba yo?” Keezeekiya n’addamu nti, “Byonna ebiri mu nnyumba yange babirabye, tewali kintu mu byobugagga bwange kye sibalaze.”
Odiyifoɔ no bisaa sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na wɔhunuu wɔ wʼahemfie hɔ?” Hesekia buaa sɛ, “Wɔhunuu biribiara a ɛwɔ mʼahemfie ha. Biribiara nni mʼademudeɛ mu a mamfa ankyerɛ wɔn.”
5 Awo Isaaya n’agamba Keezeekiya nti, “Wuliriza Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye ky’agamba:
Afei, Yesaia ka kyerɛɛ Hesekia sɛ, “Tie asɛm a ɛfiri Asafo Awurade nkyɛn:
6 Laba, ennaku zijja, byonna ebiri mu nnyumba yo n’ebyo bajjajjaabo bye baaterekanga ebikyaliwo n’okutuusa leero, lwe biritwalibwa e Babulooni, ne watasigala kintu na kimu, bw’ayogera Mukama.
Nokorɛm, ɛberɛ bi bɛba a, wɔbɛsoa biribiara a ɛwɔ wʼahemfie ne agyapadeɛ a wʼagyanom akora de abɛduru ɛnnɛ no akɔ Babilonia. Biribiara renka, sei na Awurade seɛ.
7 N’abamu ku batabani bo, ggwe kennyini b’ozaala balitwalibwa mu lubiri lwa kabaka w’e Babulooni ne balaayibwa.”
Na afei wʼasefoɔ mu bi, wʼankasa wo mogya a wɔbɛwo wɔn ama wo no, wɔbɛsoa wɔn akɔ na wɔakɔyɛ apiafoɔ wɔ Babiloniahene ahemfie.”
8 Awo Keezeekiya n’agamba Isaaya nti, “Ekigambo kya Mukama ky’oŋŋambye kirungi.” Kubanga yalowooza nti, “Kasita emirembe, n’obutebenkevu binaabangawo mu mulembe gwange.”
Hesekia dwenee sɛ ne ɔman no bɛnya asomdwoeɛ ne banbɔ wɔ ne mmerɛ so, enti ɔbuaa sɛ, “Awurade asɛm a woabɛka yi yɛ asɛm papa.”
