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.”

A kwanakin nan sai Hezekiya ya kamu da rashin lafiya har ya kusa mutuwa. Sai annabi Ishaya ɗan Amoz ya zo wurinsa ya ce, “Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, ka kintsa gidanka domin za ka mutu, ba za ka warke ba.”

2 UHezekhiya waphendula ubuso bakhe wakhangela emdulini wakhuleka kuThixo esithi,

Hezekiya ya juya fuskarsa wajen bango ya yi addu’a ga Ubangiji ya ce,

3 “Khumbula, Thixo, ukuthi ngihambe phambi kwakho ngokuthembeka langokuzinikela ngenhliziyo yami yonke, njalo ngenze okuhle emehlweni akho.” UHezekhiya wakhala kabuhlungu.

“Ya Ubangiji, ka tuna yadda na yi tafiya a gabanka da aminci da zuciya ɗaya, na kuma aikata abin da yake daidai a gabanka.” Sai Hezekiya ya yi kuka mai zafi.

4 U-Isaya engakasuki egumeni elingaphakathi, kwafika ilizwi likaThixo kuye lisithi:

Kafin Ishaya yă bar tsakiyar filin gida, sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo masa cewa,

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.

“Ka koma ka ce wa Hezekiya, shugaban mutanena, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji Allah na mahaifinka Dawuda ya ce, na ji addu’arka na kuma ga hawayenka; zan warkar da kai. A rana ta uku daga yau za ka haura zuwa haikalin Ubangiji.

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.’”

Zan ƙara maka shekara goma sha biyar. Zan kuma cece ka daga hannun sarkin Assuriya. Zan kāre birnin nan saboda kaina da kuma bawana Dawuda.’”

7 U-Isaya wathi: “Lungisani isigaqa semikhiwa.” Bakwenza lokho basebethoba ngaso ithumba, wasesila.

Sai Ishaya ya ce, “A kwaɓa ɓaure.” Sai aka yi haka, aka shafa wa marurun, ya kuma warke.

8 UHezekhiya wayebuze u-Isaya wathi, “Kuyini okuzakuba yisibonakaliso sokuthi uThixo uzangisilisa kanye lokuthi ngizakhwela ngiye phezulu ethempelini leNkosi ngosuku lwesithathu kusukela khathesi na?”

Hezekiya ya tambayi Ishaya, “Wace alama ce za tă nuna cewa Ubangiji zai warkar da ni, kuma cewa in tafi haikalin Ubangiji kwana uku daga yanzu?”

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?”

Sai Ishaya ya ce, “Ga alamar Ubangiji zuwa gare ka da za tă nuna cewa Ubangiji zai cika alkawarinsa. Kana so inuwa tă yi gaba da taki goma, ko tă koma baya da taki goma?”

10 “UHezekhiya wathi kulula ukuba isithunzi siye phambili amanyathelo alitshumi, kodwa kasiyi emuva amanyathelo alitshumi.”

“Ai, abu mai sauƙi ne inuwa tă yi gaba da taki goma.” In ji Hezekiya, “Gwamma dai tă koma baya da taki goma.”

11 Ngakho umphrofethi u-Isaya wacela kuThixo, uThixo wenza ukuthi isithunzi sibuyele emuva okwezinyathelo ezilitshumi esasehle ngawo ezikhwelelweni zika-Ahazi.

Sai annabi Ishaya ya roƙi Ubangiji, Ubangiji kuwa ya sa inuwa ta koma baya da taki goma bisa ga magwajin rana wanda Sarki Ahaz ya gina.

12 Ngalesosikhathi uMerodakhi-Bhaladani indodana kaBhaladani inkosi yaseBhabhiloni wabhalela uHezekhiya izincwadi wamthumela lesipho ngoba wayezwile ngokugula kukaHezekhiya.

A wannan lokaci, Merodak-Baladan ɗan Baladan sarkin Babilon ya aika wa Hezekiya wasiƙu tare da kyauta, domin ya sami labarin rashin lafiyar Hezekiya.

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.

Hezekiya ya karɓi jakadun, ya nuna musu dukan abin da yake a ɗakunan ajiyarsa, azurfa, zinariya, kayan ƙanshi da mai, wurin ajiye makamansa da kuma dukan abin da aka samu a ɗakin ajiyarsa. Babu wani abu a fadansa ko a dukan mulkinsa da Hezekiya bai nuna musu ba.

14 Ngakho u-Isaya umphrofethi waya kuHezekhiya inkosi wambuza wathi, “Atheni amadoda lawana njalo avela ngaphi?” UHezekhiya waphendula wathi: “Avela elizweni elikhatshana. Avele eBhabhiloni.”

Sai annabi Ishaya ya tafi wurin Sarki Hezekiya ya tambaye shi ya ce, “Me mutanen nan suka ce, kuma daga ina suka fito?” Sai Hezekiya ya ce, “Daga ƙasa mai nisa. Daga Babilon.”

15 Umphrofethi wabuza wathi: “Aboneni esigodlweni sakho?” UHezekhiya wathi, “Abone konke okusesigodlweni sami. Akulalutho phakathi kwempahla zami eziligugu engingawatshengisanga khona.”

Annabin ya yi tambaya, “Me suka gani a fadanka?” Hezekiya ya ce, “Ba abin da yake a ma’ajina da ban nuna musu ba.”

16 Ngakho u-Isaya wasesithi kuHezekhiya, “Zwana ilizwi likaThixo lithi:

Sai Ishaya ya ce wa Hezekiya, “Ka ji kalmar Ubangiji.

17 Isikhathi sizafika sibili lapho konke okusesigodlweni sakho lakho konke oyihlo abakugcinayo kusiyafika lolosuku, kuzathwalelwa eBhabhiloni. Akuyikusala lutho, kutsho uThixo.

Lokaci yana zuwa da za a kwashe kome a fadanka da kuma dukan abubuwan da kakanninka suka tara har yă zuwa yau, a kai su Babilon. Ba abin da za a rage, in ji Ubangiji.

18 Njalo abanye besizukulwane sakho, abenyama legazi lakho, abazazalwa nguwe, bazathathwa bayekuba ngabathenwa esigodlweni senkosi yaseBhabhiloni.”

Za a kuma kwashe waɗansu daga cikin zuriyarka, na jiki da jininka waɗanda za a haifa maka, su zama bābānni a fadan sarkin Babilon.”

19 UHezekhiya waphendula wathi: “Ilizwi likaThixo olikhulumileyo lilungile.” Ngoba wayenakana esithi: “Kambe kakuyikuba lokuthula lokuvikeleka ekuphileni kwami na?”

Hezekiya ya ce, “Maganar Ubangiji da ka faɗa ta yi kyau.” Gama ya yi tunani cewa, “Ai, ba ni da damuwa, tun da yake za a yi zaman lafiya da salama a kwanakina.”

20 Ezinye izehlakalo zombuso kaHezekhiya, konke ukuphumelela kwakhe lokwakha kwakhe ichibi kanye lomgelo owaletha amanzi phakathi komuzi, akulotshwanga yini egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi akoJuda na?

Game da sauran ayyukan mulkin Hezekiya, dukan nasarorinsa da yadda ya yi tafki da kuma bututun ruwa inda ya kawo ruwa cikin birni, duk a rubuce suke a cikin littafin tarihin sarakunan Yahuda.

21 UHezekhiya waya ekuphumuleni kubokhokho bakhe. Indodana yakhe uManase yathatha ubukhosi.

Hezekiya ya huta tare da kakanninsa. Manasse ɗansa kuma ya gāje shi.
