< U-Isaya 39 >
1 Ngalesosikhathi uMerodakhi-Bhaladani indodana kaBhaladani inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, wathumela izincwadi lesipho kuHezekhiya, ngoba wayezwile ngokugula kwakhe lokusila kwakhe.
Xu pǝyttǝ Baladanning oƣli Babil padixaⱨi Merodaⱪ-Baladan Ⱨǝzǝkiyaning kesǝl bolup yetip ⱪalƣanliⱪini ⱨǝm ǝsligǝ kǝlgǝnlikini angliƣaqⱪa, Ⱨǝzǝkiyaƣa hǝtlǝrni ⱨǝdiyǝ bilǝn ǝwǝtti.
2 UHezekhiya wazamukela izithunywa ngokuthaba, wazitshengisa okwakusendlini yakhe yokugcinela impahla, isiliva, igolide, iziyoliso, amafutha acengekileyo, izikhali zakhe zonke, lakho konke okwakukhona enothweni yakhe. Akulalutho esigodlweni sakhe loba embusweni wakhe wonke angazitshengisanga khona.
Ⱨǝzǝkiya ǝlqilǝrni huxalliⱪ bilǝn kütüp, uning hǝzinǝ-ambarlirida saⱪlanƣan nǝrsilirini kɵrsǝtti; yǝni kümüxni, altunni, dora-dǝrmanlarni, sǝrhil maylarni, sawut-ⱪorallarni saⱪlaydiƣan ɵyning ⱨǝmmisini wǝ bayliⱪlirining barliⱪini kɵrsǝtti; uning ordisi wǝ yaki pütkül padixaⱨliⱪi iqidiki nǝrsilǝrdin Ⱨǝzǝkiya ularƣa kɵrsǝtmigǝn birimu ⱪalmidi.
3 Ngakho u-Isaya umphrofethi waya kuHezekhiya inkosi wambuza wathi, “Atheni amadoda lawana, njalo avela ngaphi?” UHezekhiya waphendula wathi, “Avela elizweni elikhatshana. Aze kimi evela eBhabhiloni.”
Andin Yǝxaya pǝyƣǝmbǝr Ⱨǝzǝkiyaning aldiƣa berip, uningdin: — «Muxu kixilǝr nemǝ dedi? Ular seni yoⱪlaxⱪa nǝdin kǝlgǝn?» — dǝp soridi. Ⱨǝzǝkiya: — «Ular yiraⱪ bir yurttin, yǝni Babildin kǝlgǝn», dedi.
4 Umphrofethi wabuza wathi, “Aboneni esigodlweni sakho?” UHezekhiya wathi, “Abone konke okusesigodlweni sami. Akulalutho phakathi kwempahla zami eziligugu engingawatshengisanga khona.”
Yǝxaya yǝnǝ: — «Ular ordangda nemini kɵrdi?» dǝp soridi. Ⱨǝzǝkiya: — «Ordamda bar nǝrsilǝrni ular kɵrdi; bayliⱪlirimning arisidin ularƣa kɵrsǝtmigǝn birimu ⱪalmidi» — dedi.
5 Ngakho u-Isaya wasesithi kuHezekhiya, “Zwana ilizwi likaThixo uSomandla lithi:
Yǝxaya Ⱨǝzǝkiyaƣa mundaⱪ dedi: — Samawi ⱪoxunlarning Sǝrdari bolƣan Pǝrwǝrdigarning sɵzini anglap ⱪoyƣin: —
6 Isikhathi sizafika sibili lapho konke okusesigodlweni sakho lakho konke oyihlo abakugcinayo kusiyafika lolosuku, kuzathwalelwa eBhabhiloni. Akuyikusala lutho, kutsho uThixo.
— Mana xundaⱪ künlǝr keliduki, ordangda bar nǝrsilǝr wǝ bügüngǝ ⱪǝdǝr ata-bowiliring toplap, saⱪlap ⱪoyƣan ⱨǝmmǝ nǝrsǝ Babilƣa elip ketilidu; ⱨeqnǝrsǝ ⱪalmaydu — dǝydu Pǝrwǝrdigar,
7 Njalo abanye besizukulwane sakho, abenyama legazi lakho, abazazalwa nguwe, bazathathwa bayekuba ngabathenwa esigodlweni senkosi yaseBhabhiloni.”
— ⱨǝmdǝ [Babilliⱪlar] oƣulliringni, yǝni ɵzüngdin bolƣan ǝwladliringni elip ketidu; xuning bilǝn ular Babil padixaⱨining ordisida aƣwat bolidu.
8 UHezekhiya waphendula wathi, “Ilizwi likaThixo olikhulumileyo lilungile.” Ngoba wayenakana esithi, “Kuzakuba lokuthula lokuvikeleka ekuphileni kwami.”
Xuning bilǝn Ⱨǝzǝkiya ɵz-ɵzigǝ: «Ɵz künlirimdǝ bolsa aman-tinqliⱪ, [Hudaning] ⱨǝⱪiⱪǝt-wapaliⱪi bolidikǝnƣu» dǝp, Yǝxayaƣa: — «Siz eytⱪan Pǝrwǝrdigarning muxu sɵzi yahxi ikǝn» — dedi.
