4 Mukuru wehondo akati kwavari, “Udzai Hezekia kuti: “‘Zvanzi namambo mukuru, iye mambo weAsiria: Uri kuvimba nei chaizvo?
Nake mũnene ũcio wa mbũtũ ya ita akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ĩrai Hezekia atĩrĩ, “‘Mũthamaki ũrĩa mũnene o we mũthamaki wa Ashuri, ekũũria atĩrĩ: Ũrutĩte ũũmĩrĩru ũcio ũrĩ naguo kũ?
5 Iwe unoti une urongwa nesimba rokurwa, asi uri kutaura mashoko asina maturo. Ko, unovimba naaniko, zvawandimukira?
Wee uugaga nĩ ũũĩ kũrũa na ũrĩ na hinya wa mbũtũ cia ita, no waragia o ciugo cia tũhũ. Nũũ ũcio wĩhokete nĩguo ũnemere?

Atĩrĩrĩ, wee wĩhokete andũ a Misiri, acio mahaana ta kamũrangi koinĩkangu, karĩa gatheecaga mũndũ guoko, gakamũguraria etiirania nako! Ũguo nĩguo Firaũni mũthamaki wa Misiri ahaana kũrĩ arĩa othe mamwĩhokaga.
7 Asi kana ukati kwandiri, “Isu tinovimba naJehovha Mwari wedu,” haasi iye here ane nzvimbo dzakakwirira nearitari dzakabviswa naHezekia, iye akati kuJudha neJerusarema, “Munofanira kunamata pamberi pearitari iyi”?
O na ũngĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ twĩhokete Jehova Ngai witũ,” githĩ ũcio tiwe Hezekia aatharĩirie igongona na kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, na akĩĩra andũ a Juda na a Jerusalemu atĩrĩ, “No nginya mũhooyagĩre kĩgongona-inĩ gĩkĩ”?
8 “‘Zvino chiuya, ita sungano natenzi wangu, mambo weAsiria: Ndichakupa mabhiza anokwana zviuru zviviri, kana ukagona kuisa vatasvi pamusoro pawo!
“‘Rĩu-rĩ, ũka ũkeiguithanie na mwathi wakwa, mũthamaki wa Ashuri: Nĩngũkũhe mbarathi ngiri igĩrĩ, angĩkorwo ũrĩ na andũ a gũthiĩ macihaicĩte!

Wakĩhota atĩa gũtooria o na mũnene ũrĩa mũnini mũno thĩinĩ wa anene a mwathi wakwa, o na gũtuĩka wĩhokete ngaari cia ita na andũ arĩa mathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi a Misiri?
10 Pamusoro pezvo, ndauya kuzorwa nenyika ino nokuiparadza ndisina Jehovha here? Jehovha pachake andiudza kuti ndiuye munyika ino ndizoiparadza.’”
Na ningĩ-rĩ, njũkĩte gũtharĩkĩra na kwananga bũrũri ũyũ iterĩĩtwo nĩ Jehova? Jehova we mwene nĩwe wanjĩĩrire njũke hũũre bũrũri ũyũ na ndĩwanange.’”
11 Ipapo Eriakimu, naShebhina, naJoa vakati kumukuru wehondo, “Tapota hedu, taurai kuvaranda venyu norurimi rwechiAramu, sezvo tichirunzwa. Musataura nesu nechiHebheru vanhu vari parusvingo vachinzwa.”
Nao Eliakimu, na Shebina, na Joa makĩĩra mũnene ũcio wa mbũtũ cia ita atĩrĩ, “Twagũthaitha arĩria ndungata ciaku na rũthiomi rwa Asuriata, tondũ nĩtũrũũĩ. Tiga gũtwarĩria na rũthiomi rwa Kĩhibirania andũ aya marĩ rũthingo-inĩ makĩiguaga.”
12 Asi mukuru wehondo akapindura akati, “Ko, ndakatumwa natenzi wangu kuna tenzi wenyu nemi chete ndisingatauriwo kuvarume vagere parusvingo, ivo vanofanira kudya tsvina yavo nokunwa mvura yavo kufanana nemi here?”
No mũnene ũcio wa mbũtũ cia ita agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ ndatũmirwo nĩ mwathi wakwa kũrĩ o mwathi wanyu na kũrĩ o inyuĩ, ndĩmwĩre maũndũ maya, na ti kũrĩ andũ aya maikarĩte rũthingo igũrũ, o aya makaarĩa kĩoro kĩao na manyue mathugumo mao o ene o ta ũrĩa inyuĩ mũgeeka?”
13 Ipapo mukuru wehondo akasimuka akadanidzira nechiHebheru achiti, “Inzwai mashoko amambo mukuru, mambo weAsiria!
Ningĩ mũnene ũcio wa mbũtũ cia ita akĩrũgama akĩanĩrĩra na Kĩhibirania, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Thikĩrĩriai ndũmĩrĩri ya mũthamaki ũrĩa mũnene, mũthamaki wa Ashuri!
14 Zvanzi namambo: Musarega Hezekia achikunyengerai. Iye haangagoni kukurwirai!
Mũthamaki ekuuga ũũ: Mũtigetĩkĩre Hezekia amũheenie. Ndangĩhota kũmũhonokia!
15 Musarega Hezekia achikunyengetedzai kuti muvimbe naJehovha achiti, ‘Jehovha achakurwirai zvirokwazvo; guta rino harizoiswa muruoko rwamambo weAsiria.’
Mũtigetĩkĩre Hezekia amũringĩrĩrie kwĩhoka Jehova hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Ti-itherũ Jehova nĩegũtũhonokia; itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene rĩtikaaneanwo guoko-inĩ kwa mũthamaki wa Ashuri.’

21 Asi vanhu vakaramba vanyerere, vakasapindura chinhu, nokuti mambo akanga arayira achiti, “Musamupindura.”
No rĩrĩ, andũ acio magĩkira ki na matirĩ ũndũ maamũcookeirie, tondũ mũthamaki nĩamathĩte, akameera atĩrĩ, “Mũtikamũcookerie ũndũ.”
22 Ipapo Eriakimu mwanakomana waHirikia mutariri womuzinda wamambo, naShebhina munyori, naJoa mwanakomana waAsafi munyori wenhoroondo vakaenda kuna Hezekia, nenguo dzavo dzakabvaruka, vakamuudza zvakanga zvataurwa nomukuru wehondo.
