2 Amakhosi 20
1 Ngalezonsuku uHezekhiya wagula, eselengela ekufeni. Umphrofethi u-Isaya indodana ka-Amozi waya kuye wathi: “Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: Lungisa indlu yakho, ngoba uzakufa; awuyikusila.”
Le ŋkeke mawo me la, Hezekia dze dɔ eye wòɖo kudo nu. Nyagblɔɖila Yesaya, Amoz ƒe vi yi egbɔ eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Ɖɔ wò aƒe ɖo elabena èle kuku ge eye màhaya o.’”
2 UHezekhiya waphendula ubuso bakhe wakhangela emdulini wakhuleka kuThixo esithi,
Hezekia trɔ mo ɖo ɖe gli ŋu eye wòdo gbe ɖa, ɖe kuku na Yehowa be,
3 “Khumbula, Thixo, ukuthi ngihambe phambi kwakho ngokuthembeka langokuzinikela ngenhliziyo yami yonke, njalo ngenze okuhle emehlweni akho.” UHezekhiya wakhala kabuhlungu.
“Oo Yehowa, ɖo ŋku ale si mezɔ le ŋkuwòme le anukwareɖiɖi me kple ale si metsɔ nye dzi blibo la wɔ nu si nyo le ŋkuwò me la dzi.” Eye Hezekia fa avi vevie.
4 U-Isaya engakasuki egumeni elingaphakathi, kwafika ilizwi likaThixo kuye lisithi:
Hafi Yesaya nado le xɔxɔnu titinatɔ me la, Yehowa ƒe gbe va nɛ bena,
5 “Buyela uyetshela uHezekhiya, umkhokheli wabantu bami uthi, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo, uNkulunkulu kayihlo uDavida. Uthi: Ngiwuzwile umkhuleko wakho njalo ngizibonile lezinyembezi zakho; ngizakusilisa. Ngosuku lwesithathu kusukela khathesi uzakhwela uye ethempelini likaThixo.
“Trɔ nàyi ɖagblɔ na Hezekia, nye dukɔ ƒe kplɔla be, ‘Ale Yehowa, fofowò David ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: Mese wò gbedodoɖa eye mekpɔ wò aɖatsiwo. Mayɔ dɔ wò. Ŋkeke etɔ̃ tso egbe sia dzi la, àyi Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me.
6 Ngizakwengezelela iminyaka elitshumi lanhlanu empilweni yakho. Ngizakukhulula wena kanye ledolobho leli ezandleni zenkosi yase-Asiriya. Ngizavikela idolobho leli ngizenzela mina njalo ngisenzela inceku yami uDavida.’”
Mada ƒe wuiatɔ̃ ɖe wò agbenɔƒewo dzi eye maɖe wò kple du sia tso Asiria fia ƒe asi me. Maʋli du sia ta le nye ŋkɔ kple nye dɔla David ta.’”
7 U-Isaya wathi: “Lungisani isigaqa semikhiwa.” Bakwenza lokho basebethoba ngaso ithumba, wasesila.
Tete Yesaya gblɔ nɛ be, “Tu gbotsetsewo wòabla nyuie.” Wotui eye wokae ɖo ƒoƒoeawo dzi nɛ eye eƒe lãme se.
8 UHezekhiya wayebuze u-Isaya wathi, “Kuyini okuzakuba yisibonakaliso sokuthi uThixo uzangisilisa kanye lokuthi ngizakhwela ngiye phezulu ethempelini leNkosi ngosuku lwesithathu kusukela khathesi na?”
Hezekia bia Yesaya be, “Nu kae anye dzesi be Yehowa ayɔ dɔm eye mayi Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me ŋkeke etɔ̃ tso egbe sia dzi?”
9 U-Isaya waphendula wathi, “Nansi isibonakaliso sikaThixo kuwe, esokuthi uThixo uzakwenza akuthembisayo. Kambe isithunzi sizakuya phambili amanyathelo alitshumi kumbe sizabuyela emuva amanyathelo alitshumi na?”
Yesaya ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Esiae nye Yehowa ƒe dzesi na wò be Yehowa awɔ nu si ƒe ŋugbe wòdo; àdi be vɔvɔli nayi megbe ɖoƒe ewo loo wòayi ŋgɔ ɖoƒe ewoa?”
10 “UHezekhiya wathi kulula ukuba isithunzi siye phambili amanyathelo alitshumi, kodwa kasiyi emuva amanyathelo alitshumi.”
Hezekia gblɔ nɛ be, “Enye nu bɔbɔe be vɔvɔli nayi ŋgɔ ɖoƒe ewo, eya ta na wòayi megbe ɖoƒe ewo boŋ.”
11 Ngakho umphrofethi u-Isaya wacela kuThixo, uThixo wenza ukuthi isithunzi sibuyele emuva okwezinyathelo ezilitshumi esasehle ngawo ezikhwelelweni zika-Ahazi.
Tete Nyagblɔɖila Yesaya do ɣli na Yehowa eye Yehowa na vɔvɔli yi megbe ɖoƒe ewo le Ahaz ƒe ɣega te.
12 Ngalesosikhathi uMerodakhi-Bhaladani indodana kaBhaladani inkosi yaseBhabhiloni wabhalela uHezekhiya izincwadi wamthumela lesipho ngoba wayezwile ngokugula kukaHezekhiya.
Le ɣe ma ɣi la, Marduk Baladan, si nye Babilonia fia Baladan ƒe vi la dɔ amewo ɖa be woatsɔ nunana ayi na Hezekia elabena ese be edze dɔ.
13 UHezekhiya wazamukela izithunywa wazitshengisa konke okwakusendlini yakhe yokugcinela impahla, isiliva, igolide, iziyoliso kanye lamafutha acengekileyo, izikhali zakhe lakho konke okwakukhona enothweni yakhe. Akulalutho esigodlweni sakhe loba embusweni wakhe wonke uHezekhiya angazitshengisanga lona.
Hezekia xɔ wo nyuie eye wòtsɔ eƒe kesinɔnuwo katã fia wo. Kesinɔnu siawoe nye klosalo, sika, atikeʋeʋĩ, ami xɔasiwo kple aʋawɔnuwo. Naneke mele fiasã la alo dukɔ la me esi Hezekia metsɔ fia wo o.
14 Ngakho u-Isaya umphrofethi waya kuHezekhiya inkosi wambuza wathi, “Atheni amadoda lawana njalo avela ngaphi?” UHezekhiya waphendula wathi: “Avela elizweni elikhatshana. Avele eBhabhiloni.”
Nyagblɔɖila Yesaya yi Fia Hezekia gbɔ eye wòbiae be, “Nu ka dim ame siawo le? Afi ka wotso?” Hezekia ɖo eŋu be, “Wotso Babilonia ke.”
15 Umphrofethi wabuza wathi: “Aboneni esigodlweni sakho?” UHezekhiya wathi, “Abone konke okusesigodlweni sami. Akulalutho phakathi kwempahla zami eziligugu engingawatshengisanga khona.”
Yesaya biae be, “Nu kawoe wokpɔ le wò fiasã me?” Hezekia ɖo eŋu be, “Metsɔ nye kesinɔnuwo katã fia wo.”
16 Ngakho u-Isaya wasesithi kuHezekhiya, “Zwana ilizwi likaThixo lithi:
Yesaya gblɔ nɛ be, “Ɖo to Yehowa ƒe nya sia:
17 Isikhathi sizafika sibili lapho konke okusesigodlweni sakho lakho konke oyihlo abakugcinayo kusiyafika lolosuku, kuzathwalelwa eBhabhiloni. Akuyikusala lutho, kutsho uThixo.
Ŋkekewo li gbɔna, esiwo me nu sia nu si le wò fiasã me, kpe ɖe nu siwo katã fofowòwo dzra ɖo ŋu la, woalɔ wo katã ayi ɖe Babilonia. Naneke masusɔ o. Yehowae gblɔe.
18 Njalo abanye besizukulwane sakho, abenyama legazi lakho, abazazalwa nguwe, bazathathwa bayekuba ngabathenwa esigodlweni senkosi yaseBhabhiloni.”
Wò dzidzimevi aɖewo kple vi siwo wodzi na wò ŋutɔ hã, woakplɔ wo adzoe, eye woazu ŋutsu tata siwo anye aƒedzikpɔlawo le Babilonia fia ƒe fiasã me.”
19 UHezekhiya waphendula wathi: “Ilizwi likaThixo olikhulumileyo lilungile.” Ngoba wayenakana esithi: “Kambe kakuyikuba lokuthula lokuvikeleka ekuphileni kwami na?”
Hezekia ɖo eŋu be, “Yehowa ƒe nya si nègblɔ la nyo.” Ke nu si tututu wòbu le eɖokui me lae nye, “Ŋutifafa kple dedinɔnɔ ɖeɖe nanɔ anyi le nye ŋutɔ nye agbemeŋkeke mamlɛawo me ko!”
20 Ezinye izehlakalo zombuso kaHezekhiya, konke ukuphumelela kwakhe lokwakha kwakhe ichibi kanye lomgelo owaletha amanzi phakathi komuzi, akulotshwanga yini egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi akoJuda na?
Woŋlɔ Hezekia ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛa, nu gã siwo wòwɔ abe ta kple tɔʋu siwo wòɖe ene kple ale si wòhe tsi va dua me la ɖe Yuda fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
21 UHezekhiya waya ekuphumuleni kubokhokho bakhe. Indodana yakhe uManase yathatha ubukhosi.
Esi Hezekia ku la, via Manase ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
