< Isaya 37 >
1 Mambo Hezekia akati anzwa izvi, akabvarura nguo dzake akafuka masaga akapinda mutemberi yaJehovha.
Awo kabaka Keezeekiya bwe yabiwulira n’ayuza engoye ze n’ayambala ebibukutu n’ayingira mu nnyumba ya Mukama.
2 Akatuma Eriakimu mutariri womuzinda wamambo, naShebhina munyori, navakuru vavaprista, vose vakapfeka masaga, kumuprofita Isaya mwanakomana waAmozi.
N’atuma Eriyakimu eyali akulira olubiri ne Sebuna omuwandiisi ne bakabona abakulu, nga bambadde ebibukutu, eri nnabbi Isaaya mutabani wa Amozi.
3 Vakati kwaari, “Zvanzi naHezekia: Nhasi izuva renhamo nokutukwa uye kunyadziswa, sezvinoitika kana vana vakasvika pakuzvarwa asi simba rokusununguka pasina.
Ne bamugamba nti, “Keezeekiya atutumye okukugamba nti, Olunaku luno lunaku lwa kulabiramu nnaku era lwa kuvumirwamu era lwa kujoogebwa; kubanga abaana batuuse okuzaalibwa naye nga tewali maanyi ga kubazaala.
4 Zvimwe Jehovha Mwari wenyu achanzwa mashoko omukuru wehondo, akatumwa naishe wake, mambo weAsiria, kuzomhura Mwari mupenyu, uye kuti azomutuka pamusoro pamashoko aakanzwa iye Jehovha Mwari wenyu. Naizvozvo nyengetererai vakasara vari vapenyu.”
Oboolyawo Mukama Katonda wo anaawulira ebigambo bya Labusake eyatumibwa kabaka w’e Bwasuli mukama we okuvuma Katonda omulamu, Mukama Katonda wo n’amunenya olw’ebigambo by’awulidde: Kale waayo okusaba kwo wegayiririre ekitundu ekikyasigaddewo.”
5 Vabati vaHezekia vakati vasvika kuna Isaya,
Abaddu ba kabaka Keezeekiya bwe bajja eri Isaaya,
6 Isaya akati kwavari, “Udzai ishe wenyu kuti, ‘Zvanzi naJehovha: Usatya hako zvawakanzwa, mashoko andakamhurwa nawo navaranda vamambo weAsiria.
Isaaya n’abagamba nti, “Mutegeeze mukama wammwe nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, Ebigambo by’owulidde abaddu ba kabaka w’e Bwasuli bye banvumye, tebikutiisa.
7 Teererai! Ndichaisa mweya maari wokuti akangonzwa rimwe guhu, achadzokera kunyika yake, uye ikoko, ndichaita kuti aurayiwe nomunondo.’”
Laba ndimusindikira omwoyo omubi, awulire olugambo addeyo mu nsi ye. Era eyo gye ndimuzikiririza afe ekitala.’”
8 Mukuru wehondo akati anzwa kuti mambo weAsiria akanga abva kuBhakishi, akadzoka akawana mambo achirwa neRibhina.
Awo Labusake omuduumizi wa Bwasuli bwe yaddayo, n’asanga kabaka w’e ng’alwana ne Libuna: kubanga yawulira nti avudde e Lakisi.
9 Zvino Senakeribhi akagamuchira mashoko okuti Tirihaka, muEtiopia mambo weIjipiti, akanga achiuya kuzorwa naye. Akati anzwa izvozvo, akatuma nhume kuna mambo Hezekia neshoko iri rokuti:
Ate era kabaka Sennakeribu n’afuna obubaka nti Tiraaka kabaka w’e Kuusi azze okumulwanyisa. Bwe yakiwulira n’asindika ababaka eri Keezeekiya n’obubaka buno nti,
10 “Udzai Hezekia mambo weJudha muti: Mwari waunovimba naye ngaarege kukunyengera achiti, ‘Jerusarema harizoiswa muruoko rwamambo weAsiria.’
“Keezeekiya kabaka wa Yuda mumugambe nti, Katonda wo gwe weesiga takulimbanga ng’ayogera nti, ‘Yerusaalemi tekirigabulwa mu mukono gwa kabaka w’e Bwasuli.’
11 Zvirokwazvo wakanzwa zvakaitwa namadzimambo eAsiria kunyika dzose vachidziparadza chose. Zvino iwe ucharwirwa here?
Laba wawulira bakabaka b’e Bwasuli kye baakola amawanga gonna, ne bagazikiririza ddala. Mwe munaawona?
12 Ko, vamwari vamamwe marudzi akaparadzwa namadzibaba angu vakavarwira here, vamwari veGezani, neHarani neRezefi navanhu vokuEdheni vakanga vari kuTeri Asari?
Amawanga bakitange ge baasaanyaawo, Gozani, ne Kalani, ne Lezefu n’abantu ba Adeni abaabanga mu Terasali, bakatonda baago, baabayamba?
13 Mambo weHamati aripiko, namambo weArifadhi namambo weguta reSefarivhaimi, kana Hena kana Ivha?”
Ali ludda wa kabaka w’e Kamasi ne kabaka w’e Alupadi ne kabaka w’ekibuga Sefarayimu oba ow’e Keena, oba ow’e Yiva?”
14 Hezekia akagamuchira tsamba kubva mumaoko enhume, akaiverenga. Ipapo akakwidza kutemberi yaJehovha akaitambanudza pamberi paJehovha.
Keezeekiya n’aggya ebbaluwa mu mukono gw’ababaka n’agisoma: Keezeekiya n’ayambuka mu nnyumba ya Mukama n’agyanjuluza mu maaso ga Mukama.
15 Uye Hezekia akanyengetera kuna Jehovha achiti,
N’asaba ne yeegayirira Mukama nga agamba nti,
16 “Haiwa Jehovha Wamasimba Ose, Mwari waIsraeri, mugere pakati pamakerubhimi, imi moga ndimi Mwari aripo pamusoro poumambo hwose hwenyika. Makasika denga nepasi.
“Ayi Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri, atuula wakati mu bakerubbi, ggwe Katonda wekka afuga obwakabaka bwonna obw’omu nsi, ggwe wakola eggulu n’ensi.
17 Rerekai nzeve yenyu, Jehovha, munzwe; zarurai meso enyu, Jehovha muone; teererai mashoko ose aSenakeribhi aakatuma kuzozvidza nawo Mwari mupenyu.
Otege okutu kwo Ayi Mukama owulire, ozibule amaaso go, Ayi Mukama, olabe: owulire ebigambo byonna ebya Sennakeribu by’aweerezza okuvuma Katonda omulamu.
18 “Ichokwadi, Jehovha, kuti madzimambo eAsiria akaparadza chose ndudzi idzi dzose nenyika dzadzo.
“Mazima ddala Mukama, bakabaka b’e Bwasuli baazisa amawanga gonna n’ensi zaago,
19 Vakakanda vamwari vavo mumoto vakavaparadza, nokuti vakanga vasiri vamwari asi matanda chete namatombo akaitwa namaoko avanhu.
ne basuula bakatonda baabwe mu muliro: kubanga tebaali bakatonda, naye mulimu gwa ngalo z’abantu, miti na mayinja; kyebaava babazikiriza.
20 Zvino, Jehovha Mwari wedu, tidzikinurei kubva muruoko rwake, kuitira kuti madzimambo ose enyika azive kuti imi moga, Jehovha, ndimi Mwari.”
Kale nno, ayi Mukama Katonda waffe, tulokole mu mukono gwa Sennakeribu, obwakabaka bwonna obw’ensi butegeere nga ggwe wekka ggwe Mukama.”
21 Ipapo Isaya mwanakomana waAmozi akatumira shoko kuna Hezekia achiti, “Zvanzi naJehovha, Mwari waIsraeri: Nokuda kwokuti wanyengetera kwandiri pamusoro paSenakeribhi mambo weAsiria,
Awo Isaaya mutabani wa Amozi n’atumira Keezeekiya ng’ayogera nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, Kubanga onneegayiridde ku bya Sennakeribu kabaka w’e Bwasuli,
22 heri shoko rakataurwa naJehovha pamusoro pake: “Mhandara Mwanasikana weZioni anokuzvidza uye anokuseka. Mwanasikana weJerusarema anokudzungudzira musoro wake paunenge uchitiza.
kino kye kigambo kye mmwogeddeko: “‘Omuwala wa Sayuuni embeerera akunyooma era akusekerera. Omuwala wa Yerusaalemi akunyeenyeza omutwe gwe nga bw’odduka.
23 Ndianiko wawatuka uye ukamhura? Ndianiko wawasimudzira inzwi rako, uye ukasimudzira meso ako uchizvikudza? Ndiye Mutsvene waIsraeri!
Ani gw’ovumye gw’ovodde? Era ani gw’oyimuyisirizzaako eddoboozi lyo n’okanulira n’amaaso? Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri!
24 Navaranda vako watutira kutuka pamusoro paIshe. Uye wakati, ‘Nengoro dzangu zhinji ndakakwira makomo marefu, kumusoro-soro kweRebhanoni. Ndakatema misidhari yayo mirefu refu, nemisipuresi yayo yakanakisisa. Ndakasvika kumusoro-soro kwayo, nokumasango ayo akanakisisa.
Okozesezza abaddu bo okuvuma Mukama n’oyogera nti, Nyambuse n’amagaali gange amangi ku ntikko y’olusozi, ntuuse ku njuyi ez’omunda eza Lebanooni; era ntemedde ddala emivule gyakwo emiwanvu, n’enfugo zaakwo ezisinga obulungi, era natuuka ne ku lusozi lwakwo olukomererayo, ekibira kyayo ekisinga obunene.
25 Ndakachera matsime munyika yavamwe, ndikanwa mvura imomo. Netsoka dzangu ndakapwisa hova dzose dzeIjipiti.’
Waduula nti wasima enzizi era n’onywa n’amazzi mu mawanga era nti ebigere by’abajaasi bo byakaliza amazzi g’omugga Kiyira mu Misiri.’
26 “Hauna kunzwa here? Izvi ndakazviita kare. Ndakazvironga pamazuva akare; zvino ndaita kuti zviitike, nokuti wakaparadza maguta akakomberedzwa akava mirwi yamatombo.
“Tewawulira nga nakisalawo dda? Nakiteekateeka dda. Mu biro eby’edda nakiteekateeka; era kaakano nkituukirizza, olyoke ofuule ebibuga ebiriko bbugwe okuba ng’entuumo y’amayinja.
27 Vanhu vawo, vapererwa nesimba, vavhundutswa uye vanyadziswa. Vafanana nembeu mumunda, namabukira manyoro, sebundo ramera padenga remba, ratsva risati rakura.
Abantu baamu kyebaavanga baggwaamu amaanyi, ne baterebuka ne bakeŋŋentererwa ne baba ng’essubi mu nnimiro, ng’omuddo omuto, ng’omuddo ogumera ku nnyumba ogwokebwa ne gufa nga tegunnakula.
28 “Asi ndinoziva paunogara uye nguva yaunouya neyaunoenda uye kuti unondiitira hasha zvakadii.
“Naye mmanyi obutuuliro bwo era mmanyi okufuluma kwo n’okuyingira kwo n’obuswandi bw’ondaga.
29 Nokuda kwehasha dzako kwandiri uye nokuda kwokuti kusateerera kwako kwasvika munzeve dzangu, ndichaisa chiredzo changu mumhuno dzako namatomu angu mumuromo mako, uye ndichaita kuti udzokere nenzira yawakauya nayo.
Kubanga oneereegeddeko, okwepanka kw’okoze nkutuuseeko. Era kaakano ntuuse okuteeka eddobo mu nnyindo zo, n’oluuma ndufumite mu mimwa gyo, nkuzzeeyo ng’opaala mu kkubo lye wajjiramu.”
30 “Ichi ndicho chichava chiratidzo kuvarwi, iwe Hezekia: “Gore rino muchadya zvinomera zvoga, uye mugore rinotevera muchadya mabukira azvo. Asi mugore rechitatu mudyare mugokohwa, mudyare minda yemizambiringa mugodya michero yayo.
Awo Isaaya n’agamba Keezeekiya nti, “Kano ke kabonero akanaakuweebwa: Omwaka guno mugenda kulya eŋŋaano eyeemeza yokka. Eno gye muliryako n’omwaka ogwokubiri. Mu mwaka ogwokusatu mulirya ku birime byammwe bye musize era ne mukungula mu nnimiro zammwe ez’emizabbibu.
31 Zvakare, vakasara veimba yaJudha vachava nemidzi pasi uye vachabereka michero kumusoro.
Abantu ba Yuda abalifikkawo baliba ng’ebisimbe emirandira gyabyo nga gikka wansi ate nga bigimuka ne bibala.
32 Nokuti muJerusarema muchabuda vachasara, uye muZioni muchabuda boka ravachapunyuka. Kushingaira kwaJehovha kuchazviita.
Mu Yerusaalemi walibaawo abalisigalawo ne ku Lusozi Sayuuni walibeerawo abaliwona, kubanga Mukama Ayinzabyonna mu bumalirivu bwe, yeewaddeyo okukikola.
33 “Naizvozvo zvanzi naJehovha pamusoro pamambo weAsiria, “Haazopindi muguta iri kana kupfura museve pano. Haazosviki mberi kwaro nenhoo kana kuvaka gomo revhu pariri.
“Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ku bikwata ku Kabaka w’e Bwasuli nti, “Kabaka oyo taliyingira mu kibuga kino wadde okulasayo akasaale. Talikisemberera n’engabo newaakubadde okutuumako ekifunvu ng’akitaayiza.
34 Achadzokera nenzira yaakauya nayo; haazopindi muguta rino,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
Ekkubo lye yajjiramu lye limu ly’anaakwata okuddayo. Tajja kuyingira mu kibuga kino,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
35 “Ndichadzivirira guta rino uye ndichariponesa, nokuda kwangu uye nokuda kwaDhavhidhi muranda wangu!”
“Ndirwanirira ekibuga kino nkirokole.”
36 Ipapo mutumwa waJehovha akabuda akauraya varume zviuru zana namakumi masere nezvishanu pamusasa wavaAsiria. Vanhu vakati vachimuka mangwanani, onei mitumbi yavakafa!
Awo malayika wa Mukama n’afuluma n’atta mu lusiisira olw’Abasuli abantu emitwalo kkumi na munaana mu enkumi ttaano. Abaasigalawo bagenda okuzuukuka enkya nga wonna wajjudde mirambo.
37 Naizvozvo Senakeribhi mambo weAsiria akaputsa musasa. Akadzokera kuNinevhe akandogara ikoko.
Awo Sennakeribu kabaka w’e Bwasuli n’avaayo n’addayo n’abeera e Nineeve.
38 Mumwe musi achinamata ari mutemberi yamwari wake Nisiroki, Adhiramereki naSharezeri, vanakomana vake vakamuuraya nomunondo, ndokutizira kunyika yeArarati. Mwanakomana waEsarihadhoni akamutevera paushe.
Lumu bwe yali ng’asinziza mu ssabo lya Nisuloki katonda we, Adulammereki, ne Salezeri batabani be ne bamusalira olukwe ne bamutta: ne baddukira mu nsi ya Alalati. Esaludooni mutabani we n’amusikira.
