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.”
Hagi ana knafina Hezekai'a kri erino fri'za hu'ne. Ana higeno kasnampa ne' Amosi nemofo Aisaia'a vuno ome negeno amanage huno asami'ne, Ra Anumzamo'a kagrikura amanage hu'ne, kagra krika'afintira onkanamrenka frisanku, mika zanka'a erinfatgo huo.
2 UHezekhiya waphendula ubuso bakhe wakhangela emdulini wakhuleka kuThixo esithi,
Hagi Hezekai'ma anankema nentahino'a avugosa rukrahe huno noma hunaragi asantega hunenteno, Ra Anumzamofontega nunamuna amanage huno hu'ne,
3 “Khumbula, Thixo, ukuthi ngihambe phambi kwakho ngokuthembeka langokuzinikela ngenhliziyo yami yonke, njalo ngenze okuhle emehlweni akho.” UHezekhiya wakhala kabuhlungu.
Ra Anumzamoka muse hugantoanki, maka zupama Kagri kema ruotagre'nama, maka nagu'areti'ma hu'na Kagri kavure'ma knare avu'ava'ma hu'noa zankura Kagra kagesa antahinamio. Anage nehuno Hezekaia'a krafage huno tusi zavite'ne.
4 U-Isaya engakasuki egumeni elingaphakathi, kwafika ilizwi likaThixo kuye lisithi:
Hagi Aisaia'a kinimofo nona atreno megi'a atirami'neanagi, kumara atreno ovu'negeno Ra Anumzamo'a ete nanekea amanage huno asmi'ne,
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.
ete rukrahe hunka vahenimofo kva ne' Hezekai'ante vunka, Ra Anumzana negageho Deviti Anumzamo'a amanage hie hunka ome asamio, kagrama hana nunamunka'a hago antahi'na, zavi'ma atana kavunura hago ke'noe. E'ina hu'neanki'na Nagra kazeri kanamresugenka, tagufa zage kna manitenka, marerinka Ra Anumzamo'na mono nompi monora ome hunantegahane.
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.’”
Hagi Nagra knaka'a erinte za'za ha'nena 15ni'a kafu manigahane. Ana nehu'na Asiria kini nera atra'nena kagrira hara hugagetereno Jerusalemi kumara e'origahie. Hagi Jerusalemi rankuma'ma kegavama hanuana, Nagri'ma ra nagima namisagu anara nehu'na, eri'za vaheni'a Devitima huvempama hunte'noa kegu'ene anara hugahue.
7 U-Isaya wathi: “Lungisani isigaqa semikhiwa.” Bakwenza lokho basebethoba ngaso ithumba, wasesila.
Hagi anagema hutegeno'a, Aisaia'a amanage huno kini ne'mofo eri'za vahera zamasami'ne, tamagra vutma hagagema hu'nesia fiki zafa raga ome erita eho, hige'za ome eri'za ete'za Hezekaia usge namuntera regripe'za rekamrentazageno namu'amo'a tegani'ne.
8 UHezekhiya wayebuze u-Isaya wathi, “Kuyini okuzakuba yisibonakaliso sokuthi uThixo uzangisilisa kanye lokuthi ngizakhwela ngiye phezulu ethempelini leNkosi ngosuku lwesithathu kusukela khathesi na?”
Anante Hezekaia'a amanage huno Aisaiana antahige'ne, Ra Anumzamo'a nagriku'ma huno kazeri kanamresugenka tagufa zage kna manitenka, marerinka mono noma'afima mono'ma ome hunantegahanema hu'neana ina avame'za nagritera eriforera hanige'na nege'na, Ra Anumzamo'a tamage hu'ne hu'na hugahue?
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?”
Higeno Aisaia'a kenona'a amanage huno asami'ne, Ra Anumzamo'ma hu'nea naneke'ama eri hankavema atinakura, ama avame'za kaveri hugahie. Nonte'ma mareneri'za latare'ma zagemo'ma rentesigeno amema'amo'ma 10ni'a zupa renakereno ana latarera avugatira vanigu kave'nesifi, 10ni'a zupa renakereno amefitira e'niegu kavenesie?
10 “UHezekhiya wathi kulula ukuba isithunzi siye phambili amanyathelo alitshumi, kodwa kasiyi emuva amanyathelo alitshumi.”
Higeno Hezekai'a amanage hu'ne, Amne amuhoa osu'neankino zagemo'ma rentesigeno'a latamofo amema'amo'a 10ni'a zupa renekereno avugatira vugahie. E'ina hu'neanagi atregeno ana latamofo amema'amo'a ame huno 10ni'a zupa amefira eno.
11 Ngakho umphrofethi u-Isaya wacela kuThixo, uThixo wenza ukuthi isithunzi sibuyele emuva okwezinyathelo ezilitshumi esasehle ngawo ezikhwelelweni zika-Ahazi.
Hagi anante kasnampa ne' Aisaia'a Ra Anumzamofontega hanavetino nunamuna higeno, Ahasi'ma korapa tro'ma hu'nea latarera Ra Anumzamo'a higeno zagea rentegeno amema'amo'a ame huno 10ni'a zupa amefi urami'ne.
12 Ngalesosikhathi uMerodakhi-Bhaladani indodana kaBhaladani inkosi yaseBhabhiloni wabhalela uHezekhiya izincwadi wamthumela lesipho ngoba wayezwile ngokugula kukaHezekhiya.
Hagi ana knafina Baladani nemofo Merodak-Baladani Babiloni kini nemo'a, Hezekaia'ma krima eri'nea ke'ma nentahino'a, mago musezane avone krenezamino eriza vahe'a huzmantege'za Hezekaia eme kenaku e'naze.
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.
Hagi ana vahe'mo'za Hezekaia'ma eme ketageno'a, zamavareno vuno fenoma nentea nompi vuno, silvama golima, mnanentake zantamine, knare zantfama hu'nea masaventamima, ha'ma hu'zantaminena zamaveri hu'ne. Hagi kini nompima me'nea zantamine, ana maka mopa'afima me'nea zantamina magore huno erifra okino ana maka zamaveri huvagare'ne.
14 Ngakho u-Isaya umphrofethi waya kuHezekhiya inkosi wambuza wathi, “Atheni amadoda lawana njalo avela ngaphi?” UHezekhiya waphendula wathi: “Avela elizweni elikhatshana. Avele eBhabhiloni.”
Hagi anante kasnampa ne' Aisaia'a Hezekaiante eno amanage huno antahige'ne, Amama e'naza vahera igati e'ne'za, zamagra na'ane hu'za eme nehaze? Anage higeno Hezekai'a asamino, Zamagra Babilonia afete moparegati e'naze hu'ne.
15 Umphrofethi wabuza wathi: “Aboneni esigodlweni sakho?” UHezekhiya wathi, “Abone konke okusesigodlweni sami. Akulalutho phakathi kwempahla zami eziligugu engingawatshengisanga khona.”
Hagi Aisaia'a antahigeno, Zamagra naza kagri nompima me'nea zana ke'naze? Anage higeno Hezekai'a huno, Zagoma nentoa nompima ana maka zantamima me'nea zantamina magore hu'na erifrara oki'na, ana maka zamaveri huvagare'noe.
16 Ngakho u-Isaya wasesithi kuHezekhiya, “Zwana ilizwi likaThixo lithi:
Higeno anante Aisaia'a amanage huno Hezekaiana asami'ne, Ra Anumzamofonkea kagesa antenka antahio.
17 Isikhathi sizafika sibili lapho konke okusesigodlweni sakho lakho konke oyihlo abakugcinayo kusiyafika lolosuku, kuzathwalelwa eBhabhiloni. Akuyikusala lutho, kutsho uThixo.
Mago kna ne'eankino ana knama esigeno'a, kagri nompima ana maka fenoma me'nea fenone, kafahe'zama korapa eritruma hu'naza fenozanena, magore hu'za otre'za ana maka eme erivagare'za Babiloni moparega vugahaze huno Ra Anumzamo'a hie.
18 Njalo abanye besizukulwane sakho, abenyama legazi lakho, abazazalwa nguwe, bazathathwa bayekuba ngabathenwa esigodlweni senkosi yaseBhabhiloni.”
Ana nehina kagrama kasezamante'nana ne'mofavre nagara mago'a eme zamavare'za vu'za, zamagonknaza ome harisage'za, Babiloni kini ne'mofo nompi eri'za vahe umanigahaze.
19 UHezekhiya waphendula wathi: “Ilizwi likaThixo olikhulumileyo lilungile.” Ngoba wayenakana esithi: “Kambe kakuyikuba lokuthula lokuvikeleka ekuphileni kwami na?”
Hagi anagema higeno'a Hezekaia'a amanage huno Aisaiana asami'ne, Kagrama Ra Anumzamofo nanekema hanana knare hu'ne. Hezekaia'ma e'inahu kema hiana, nagrama kinima manisua knafina hara osuta, mani fru huta manigahune huno nentahino anankea hu'ne.
20 Ezinye izehlakalo zombuso kaHezekhiya, konke ukuphumelela kwakhe lokwakha kwakhe ichibi kanye lomgelo owaletha amanzi phakathi komuzi, akulotshwanga yini egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi akoJuda na?
Hagi Hezekaia'ma kinima mani'nea knafima fore'ma hu'nea zantamine, agrama mago'azama hu'nea zamofo agenkene, tiru'ma henkaniteno mopama kafino agu'afima tima avreno Jerusalemi rankumapima e'nea zamofo agenkenena, ana maka Juda vahe kini vahe'mokizmi zamagenkema krenentaza avontafepi krente'naze.
21 UHezekhiya waya ekuphumuleni kubokhokho bakhe. Indodana yakhe uManase yathatha ubukhosi.
Hagi henka Hezekai'ama fri'ge'za afahe'mokizmima asenezmante'nazafi asente'naze. Ana higeno nemofo Manase agri nona erino kinia mani'ne.
