1 Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wetshumi lane wenkosi uHezekhiya, uSenakheribi inkosi yeAsiriya wenyuka wamelana lemizi yonke evikelweyo yakoJuda, wayithatha.
Le Fia Hezekia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe wuienelia me la, Asiria fia, Senakerib ɖe to ɖe Yuda du siwo katã woglã la, eye wòɖu wo dzi.
2 Njalo inkosi yeAsiriya yathuma uRabi-Shake esuka eLakishi esiya eJerusalema enkosini uHezekhiya lebutho elinzima. Wasesima emfolweni wechibi elingaphezulu, emgwaqweni omkhulu wensimu yomwatshi.
Emegbe la, Asiria fia dɔ eƒe aʋafia kple aʋakɔ gã aɖe tso Lakis ɖo ɖe Fia Hezekia le Yerusalem. Esi aʋafia la kple eŋumewo va tɔ ɖe Dzigbeta la ƒe tɔʋu to, le mɔ si ɖo ta avɔnyala ƒe nunyaƒe la,
3 Kwasekuphumela kuye uEliyakhimi, indodana kaHilikhiya, owayephezu kwendlu, loShebina umbhali, loJowa indodana kaAsafi umabhalane.
Hilkia ƒe vi, Eliakim, ame si nye fiasã la ƒe dɔdzikpɔla, Sebna, agbalẽŋlɔla kple Asaf ƒe vi, Yoa, si nye nuŋlɔla la do go yi ɖakpee.
4 URabi-Shake wasesithi kubo: Tshonini khathesi kuHezekhiya ukuthi: Itsho njalo inkosi enkulu, inkosi yeAsiriya: Lithemba bani leli othembele kulo?
Aʋafia la gblɔ na wo be, “Gblɔ na Hezekia be: “‘Ale Asiria fia, fiagã la gblɔe nye esi: Nu ka dzi nètu wò dzideƒo sia ɖo?
5 Ngithi (kodwa yilizwi lendebe): Kuleseluleko lamandla empi. Khathesi uthembele kubani ukuthi ungivukele?
Ègblɔ be, aʋawɔmɔnu tɔxɛwo kple aʋawɔwɔ ƒe ŋusẽ le asiwò, ke nya ƒuƒluwo ko gblɔm nèle. Ame ka ŋu nèle ŋu ɖom ɖo hafi dze aglã ɖe ŋunye?
6 Khangela, uthembele kuloludondolo lwalo umhlanga owephukileyo, kuyo iGibhithe, okuthi uba umuntu eseyama kulo, luzangena esandleni sakhe lusihlabe. Unjalo uFaro inkosi yeGibhithe kubo bonke abathembela kuye.
Kpɔ ɖa, èle ŋu ɖom ɖe Egipte, aƒla ŋeŋe, atizɔti ma ŋu. Esi ne ame aɖe ziɔ ɖe eŋu la, aŋɔ asi nɛ ahade abi eŋu. Nenemae nye Egipte fia, Farao, na ame sia ame si aɖo ŋu ɖe eŋu.
7 Kodwa uba usithi kimi: Sithembela eNkosini uNkulunkulu wethu; kakusuye yini ozindawo zakhe eziphakemeyo lamalathi akhe uHezekhiya akususileyo, wathi kuJuda leJerusalema: Lizakhonza phambi kwaleli ilathi?
Ke ne ègblɔ nam be, “Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ŋue miele ŋu ɖom ɖo la,” ɖe menye eya ƒe nuxeƒewo kple vɔsamlekpuiwoe Hezekia gbã hegblɔ na Yuda kple Yerusalem be, “Ele na mi be miasubɔ le vɔsamlekpui sia ŋgɔ oa?”
8 Ngakho-ke ake unike isibambiso enkosini yami, inkosi yeAsiriya; njalo ngizakunika amabhiza azinkulungwane ezimbili, uba wena ulakho ukunika abagadi bamabhiza phezu kwawo.
“‘Va azɔ nàtso gbe kple nye amegã, Asiria fia. Matsɔ sɔ akpe eve na wò, ne ànya kpɔ edolawo ko.
9 Uzabuyisela njani-ke emuva ubuso bombusi oyedwa wabancinyane bezinceku zenkosi yami, wena-ke uthembela eGibhithe ngenxa yezinqola labagadi bamabhiza?
Ekema aleke nàte ŋu anya nye amegã ƒe dɔla si nye suetɔ, togbɔ be nèle ŋu ɖom ɖe Egipte ŋu be woakpe ɖe ŋuwò kple tasiaɖam kple sɔwo?
10 Khathesi sengenyukile yini ngingelaNkosi ngimelene lalelilizwe ukulichitha? INkosi yathi kimi: Yenyuka umelene lalelilizwe, ulichithe.
Gawu la, ɖe meva be madze anyigba sia dzi, ahatsrɔ̃e Yehowa manɔmea? Yehowa ŋutɔe gblɔ nam be maho aʋa ɖe dukɔ sia ŋuti ne matsrɔ̃e.’”
11 UEIiyakimi loShebina loJowa basebesithi kuRabi-Shake: Ake ukhulume lenceku zakho ngesiSiriya, ngoba siyasiqedisisa; ungakhulumi lathi ngesiJuda, endlebeni zabantu abaphezu komduli.
Tete Eliakim, Sebna kple Yoa gblɔ na aʋafia la be, “Míeɖe kuku, ƒo nu na wò dɔlawo le Aramgbe me, elabena míese Aramgbe. Mègaƒo nu na mi le Hebrigbe me o. Ne menye nenema o la, ame siwo nɔ anyi ɖe glia dzi la ase wò nyawo gɔme.”
12 Kodwa uRabi-Shake wathi: Inkosi yami ingithume enkosini yakho lakuwe yini ukukhuluma lamazwi? Kakusebantwini yini abahlezi phezu komduli ukuze badle ubulongwe babo, banathe umchamo wabo kanye lani?
Aʋafiagã Rabsaki ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Ɖe wobe miaƒe amegã kple miawo gbɔ ko nye amegã ɖom ɖo be magblɔ nya siawo na, eye ame siwo le glia dzi la mele eme oa? Woawo kple miawo siaa, miaɖu miawo ŋutɔ ƒe afɔdzi, eye miano miawo ŋutɔ ƒe aɖuɖɔ.”
13 URabi-Shake wema-ke, wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu ngesiJuda, wathi: Zwanini amazwi enkosi enkulu, inkosi yeAsiriya.
Tete aʋafiagã la te va hedo ɣli gblɔ le Hebrigbe me be, “Mise Asiria fia, fiagã la ƒe nyawo!
14 Itsho njalo inkosi: UHezekhiya kangalikhohlisi, ngoba kayikuba lakho ukulikhulula.
Ale fia la gblɔe nye esi, migana Hezekia nable mi o. Mate ŋu aɖe mi o!
15 Futhi uHezekhiya angalenzi lithembele eNkosini, esithi: INkosi izasikhulula lokusikhulula; lumuzi kawuyikunikelwa esandleni senkosi yeAsiriya.
Migana Hezekia nable mia nu be, miɖo dzi ɖe Yehowa ŋu o, esime wògblɔ be, ‘Yehowa aɖe mi godoo; womatsɔ du sia ade asi na Asiria fia o.’
16 Lingamlaleli uHezekhiya, ngoba itsho njalo inkosi yeAsiriya: Dingani umusa wami ngesipho, lisithumele kimi; lidle ngulowo lalowo okwevini lakhe, langulowo lalowo okomkhiwa wakhe, linathe ngulowo lalowo amanzi omthombo wakhe;
“Migaɖo to Hezekia o. Ale Asiria fia gblɔe nye esi: ‘Mido va gbɔnye, miawɔ ŋutifafa kplim.’ Ekema ame sia ame aɖu eƒe waintsetse kple gbotsetse, eye wòano eya ŋutɔ ƒe vudometsi
17 ngize ngifike, ngilithathe, ngilise elizweni elifanana lelizwe lenu, ilizwe lamabele lewayini elitsha, ilizwe lesinkwa lezivini.
va se ɖe esime mava akplɔ mi ayi anyigba si ɖi mia tɔ la dzi, anyigba si dzi bli kple wain yeye, abolo kple waingblewo bɔ ɖo.
18 UHezekhiya kangalihugi esithi: INkosi izasikhulula. Onkulunkulu bezizwe bakhulule yini, ngulowo lalowo ilizwe lakhe, esandleni samakhosi eAsiriya?
“Migana Hezekia nable mi esi wògblɔ be, ‘Yehowa aɖe mi’ o. Ɖe dukɔ aɖe ƒe Mawu te ŋu ɖe eƒe anyigba tso Asiria fia ƒe asi me kpɔa?
19 Bangaphi onkulunkulu beHamathi leArpadi? Bangaphi onkulunkulu beSefavayimi? Bayikhulule yini layo iSamariya esandleni sami?
Afi ka Hamat kple Arpad ƒe mawuwo le? Afi ka Sefarvaim ƒe mawuwo le? Ɖe wote ŋu xɔ Samaria le asinyea?
20 Ngobani phakathi kwabo bonke onkulunkulu balawomazwe abakhulule ilizwe labo esandleni sami, ukuthi iNkosi ikhulule iJerusalema esandleni sami?
Ke mawuwo dometɔ kawoe le dukɔ siawo katã me si te ŋu ɖe eƒe anyigbawo tso nye asi me kpɔ hafi Yehowa ya ate ŋu aɖe Yerusalem tso nye asimea?”
21 Kodwa bathula, kabaze bamphendula lizwi, ngoba umlayo wenkosi wawuyikuthi: Lingamphenduli.
Ke ameawo katã zi ɖoɖoe, eye womeɖo nya aɖeke ŋu nɛ o, elabena fia la de se na wo be, “Migaɖo eŋu nɛ o.”
22 Kwasekufika uEliyakhimi, indodana kaHilikhiya, owayephezu kwendlu, loShebina umbhali, loJowa indodana kaAsafi, umabhalane, kuHezekhiya, izigqoko zabo zidatshuliwe, bamtshela amazwi kaRabi-Shake.
Tete Hilkia ƒe vi, Eliakim, fiasã la dɔdzikpɔla, agbalẽŋlɔla Sebna kple Asaf ƒe vi, Yoa, si nye nuŋlɔla la dze awu le wo ɖokuiwo ŋu heyi Fia Hezekia gbɔ, eye wogblɔ nu siwo katã aʋafiagã la gblɔ la nɛ.
