Ọ gbasoro Onyenwe anyị nʼụzọ niile. O sitekwaghị nʼụzọ Onyenwe anyị wezuga onwe ya. O debere ihe niile Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis nʼiwu.
7 Ne saa enti, na Awurade ka ne ho, na Hesekia kɔɔ so wɔ biribiara a ɔyɛeɛ mu. Ɔyɛɛ dɔm tiaa Asiriahene, na wantua apeatoɔ amma no.

9 Hesekia ahennie no mfeɛ ɛnan so a na ɔhene Hosea nso wɔ nʼahennie wɔ Israel mfeɛ nson mu no, Asiriahene Salmaneser kɔtuaa Israel, hyɛɛ aseɛ kaa Samaria kuropɔn hyɛeɛ.
Nʼafọ nke anọ nke ọchịchị Hezekaya, nke bụkwa afọ nke asaa nke ọchịchị Hoshea nwa Elaa, bụ eze Izrel, Shalmanesa, eze Asịrịa gbagoro imegide Sameria, nọchibido ya gburugburu.

11 Saa ɛberɛ no, Asiriahene twaa Israelfoɔ no asuo, kɔɔ Asiria, de wɔn hyehyɛɛ aman so wɔ Halah wɔ Asubɔnten Habor a ɛwɔ Gosan nkonkɔnoa ne nkuro akɛseɛ a ɛwɔ Media mu.
Ọ bụ nʼoge ahụ ka eze Asịrịa bupụrụ ndị Izrel niile bulaa ha Asịrịa nʼime obodo Hala, na Gozan nʼakụkụ iyi ukwu Hoboa, na nʼobodo ndị Midia.
12 Ɛfiri sɛ, wɔantie Awurade, wɔn Onyankopɔn no. Wɔbuu nʼapam no so, mmara a Awurade nam Mose so hyehyɛ maa wɔn no.
Nke a mere nʼihi na ha jụrụ ige ntị nʼolu Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke ha, jụkwa ime ihe ọ chọrọ ka ha mee. Ha edebeghị ọgbụgba ndụ ya na iwu niile Mosis onyeozi Onyenwe anyị nyere ha. Ha jụrụ ige ntị nʼiwu ndị a, maọbụ debe ha.
13 Ɔhene Hesekia adedie mfeɛ dunan so, Asiriahene Sanaherib bɛto hyɛɛ Yuda nkuro a na wɔabɔ ho ban no so, dii wɔn so nkonim.
Nʼafọ nke iri na anọ nke ọchịchị eze Hezekaya, Senakerib bụ eze Asịrịa, busoro obodo Juda niile e wusiri ike agha, merikwaa ha.
14 Na Hesekia de saa nkra yi kɔmaa Asiriahene wɔ Lakis sɛ, “Mayɛ mfomsoɔ. Sɛ wobɛfiri ha akɔ nko ara deɛ a, apeatoɔ biara a wobɛgye me no, mɛtua.” Na Asiriahene bisaa mpatadeɛ a ɛboro dwetɛ tɔno 11 ne sikakɔkɔɔ nso bɛyɛ tɔno baako.
Mgbe ahụ, Hezekaya chọrọ ụzọ ọ ga-esi mee udo, zie ozi zigara eze Asịrịa nʼobodo Lakish sị ya, “Emehiela m, biko, site nʼala m pụọ. Aga m akwụ gị ihe ọbụla ị chọrọ nʼaka m.” Eze Asịrịa sitere nʼaka Hezekaya eze Juda nara narị talenti ọlaọcha atọ, na iri talenti ọlaedo atọ.

Hezekaya chịịrị ọlaọcha niile ọ chọtara nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, na akụ niile dị nʼụlọeze, nye ya eze Asịrịa.
16 Mpo, Hesekia waawae sikakɔkɔɔ a wɔde aduradura Awurade asɔredan no apono ho, de ne nyinaa maa Asiriahene.
Nʼoge ahụ, Hezekaya bụ eze Juda, nyakapụtachara ọlaedo niile o ji techie ibo na ibo ọnụ ụzọ ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, chịrị ihe ndị a niile nye eze Asịrịa.

18 Wɔfrɛɛ Hesekia, nanso ɔsomaa ne mpanimfoɔ yi sɛ wɔnkɔhyia wɔn: Hilkia babarima Eliakim a ɔhwɛ ahemfie hɔ so, ɔtwerɛfoɔ Sebna ne Asaf babarima Yoa a ɔyɛ ahemfie abakɔsɛm twerɛfoɔ.
Mgbe ha kpọrọ eze oku ka ọ bịa, Eliakịm nwa Hilkaya, onye nlekọta ụlọeze, na Shebna, ode akwụkwọ eze, na Joa nwa Asaf, onye ndekọ akụkọ ihe mere, pụrụ jekwuru ha.
