2 Ahemfo 19
1 Ɛberɛ a ɔhene Hesekia tee yeinom no, ɔsunsuanee ne ntadeɛ mu, ɛnna ɔfiraa ayitoma, na ɔkɔɔ Awurade asɔredan mu.
Kabaka Keezeekiya olwawulira ebyo byonna, n’ayuza ebyambalo bye, n’ayambala ebibukutu, n’alaga mu yeekaalu ya Mukama.
2 Na ɔsomaa ahemfie sohwɛfoɔ Eliakim, ɔtwerɛfoɔ Sebna ne asɔfoɔ mpanin a wɔn nyinaa hyehyɛ ayitadeɛ kɔɔ Amos babarima odiyifoɔ Yesaia nkyɛn.
N’atuma Eriyakimu eyali ssabakaaki, ne Sebuna omuwandiisi ne bakabona ab’oku ntikko, nga bonna bambadde ebibukutu, okugenda eri Isaaya nnabbi mutabani wa Amozi.
3 Wɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Sɛdeɛ ɔhene Hesekia ka nie: Saa ɛda yi yɛ ɔhaw, animka ne animguaseɛ da. Ayɛ te sɛ deɛ mmɔfra awoɔ duru so na ahoɔden a wɔde bɛwo wɔn nni hɔ.
Ne bamugamba nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Keezeekiya nti Leero lunaku lwa buyinike, era lwa kunenyezebwa, era lwa kuswazibwa, ng’abaana bwe batuuka okuzaalibwa, naye ne wataba maanyi ga ku bazaala.
4 Nanso, ebia Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn ate sɛ Asiria ɔnanmusini no regu Onyankopɔn teasefoɔ no anim ase, na wɔbɛtwe nʼaso wɔ ne nsɛnkeka no ho. Enti mommɔ mpaeɛ mma nkaeɛfoɔ a wɔte nkwa mu no.”
Kiyinzika okuba nga Mukama Katonda wo yawulidde obubaka bwonna obwa Labusake, mukama we kabaka w’e Bwasuli bwe yaweereza ng’anyooma Katonda omulamu, era nti amunenye olw’ebigambo byonna Mukama Katonda wo by’awulidde. Noolwekyo ssabira ekitundu ekikyasigaddewo.”
5 Na ɔhene Hesekia mpanimfoɔ no kɔkaa ɔhene nkra no kyerɛɛ Yesaia,
Awo abakungu ba Kabaka Keezeekiya bwe baatuuka eri Isaaya,
6 na Yesaia buaa sɛ, “Ka kyerɛ wo wura sɛ, ‘Sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie: Mma abususɛm a Asiriahene asomafoɔ no ka tiaa me no nha wo.
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 Montie! Mede honhom bi rebɛhyɛ ne mu, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a sɛ ɔte asɛm bi a ɔbɛsane akɔ ne ɔman mu, na ɛhɔ na mɛma wɔde akofena akum no.’”
Wuliriza! Nzija kumuteekamu omwoyo, awulire olugambo ku bikwata ku nsi ye addeyo mu nsi ye, era gye ndimuzikiririza n’ekitala.’”
8 Ɛberɛ a ɔsahene no tee sɛ Asiriahene afiri Lakis no, ɔsanee nʼakyi kɔhunuu sɛ ɔhene no ne Libna reko.
Labusake bwe yawulira nti kabaka w’e Bwasuli avudde mu Lakisi, n’avaayo, n’asanga kabaka ng’alwana ne Libuna.
9 Ankyɛre, ɔhene Sanaherib nyaa nkra sɛ, Etiopiahene Tirhaka adi akodɔm anim, rebɛko atia no. Na ansa na ɔbɛsane akohyia akodɔm no, ɔtoo saa nkra yi sɛ wɔmfa nkɔma Hesekia wɔ Yerusalem.
Awo Sennakeribu n’afuna obubaka obukwata ku Tiraka kabaka w’e Esiyopya nti, “Laba amaliridde okulwana naawe,” era n’addamu n’atuma ababaka eri Keezeekiya ng’agamba nti,
10 “Monka nkyerɛ Yudahene Hesekia sɛ: Ɛmma onyame a wode wo ho ato no so no nnaadaa mo nka sɛ, ‘Asiriahene rentumi mfa Yerusalem.’
“Bwe muti bwe munagamba Keezeekiya kabaka wa Yuda nti, ‘Tokkiriza Katonda wo gwe weesiga kukulimbalimba ng’akusuubiza nti Yerusaalemi teriweebwayo mu mukono gwa kabaka w’e Bwasuli.’
11 Moate deɛ Asiria ahemfo ayɛ amanaman no nyinaa. Wɔasɛe wɔn pasaa. Na mo deɛ wɔbɛgye mo anaa?
Ekyamazima wawulira bakabaka b’e Bwasuli kye bakoze amawanga gonna, nga bagasaanyizaawo ddala. Olowooza nti olirokolebwa?
12 Anyame a wɔwɔ aman a me nananom sɛee wɔn no, aman te sɛ Gosan, Haran, Resef ne Edenfoɔ a na wɔwɔ Telasar no anyame gyee wɔn anaa?
Bakatonda baamawanga ag’e Gozani, n’e Kalani, n’e Lezefu, n’abantu ba Adeni abaali mu Terasali, abasaanyizibwawo bajjajjange, babalokola?
13 Ɛhe na Hamathene ne Arpadhene, kuropɔn Sefarwaim anaa Hena anaa Iwa ahemfo no wɔ?”
Kabaka w’e Kamasi, kabaka w’e Alupadi, kabaka w’ekibuga kya Sefavayimu, oba kabaka w’e Kena oba kabaka w’e Yiva, bali ludda wa?”
14 Hesekia nsa kaa krataa a abɔfoɔ no de baeɛ no, ɔkenkaneeɛ. Afei ɔforo kɔɔ Awurade asɔredan no mu kɔtrɛɛ mu wɔ Awurade anim.
Keezeekiya n’afuna ebbaluwa eyaleetebwa ababaka, n’agisoma. N’ayambuka n’agenda mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’agyanjuluza mu maaso ga Mukama.
15 Na Hesekia bɔɔ mpaeɛ kyerɛɛ Awurade sɛ: “Ao, Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn a wodi ɔhene firi Kerubim ntam, wo nko ara na woyɛ Onyankopɔn wɔ asase so ahennie nyinaa so. Wo na wobɔɔ ɔsoro ne asase.
Keezeekiya n’asaba eri Mukama ng’agamba nti, “Ayi Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, atuula waggulu ku bakerubi, ggwe wekka, ggwe Katonda ow’obwakabaka bwonna obw’ensi, era ggwe wakola eggulu n’ensi.
16 Brɛ wʼaso ase, Ao Awurade, na tie! Bue wʼani, Ao Awurade, na hwɛ! Tie Sanaherib nsɛm a ɔka de bu Onyankopɔn teasefoɔ no animtiaa.
Otege okutu kwo, Ayi Mukama, owulire; ozibule amaaso go Ayi Mukama, olabe; owulire ebigambo bya Sennakeribu, byayogedde ng’avvoola Katonda omulamu.
17 “Awurade, ɛyɛ nokorɛ sɛ Asiria ahemfo asɛe aman yi nyinaa, sɛdeɛ nkra no ka no.
“Kya mazima, Ayi Mukama, nti bakabaka b’e Bwasuli baazikiriza amawanga n’ensi zaabwe,
18 Na wɔato aman yi anyame agu ogya mu, ahye wɔn. Asiriafoɔ no tumi sɛe wɔn ɛfiri sɛ na wɔnyɛ anyame koraa. Na wɔyɛ nnua ne aboɔ ahoni a nnipa de wɔn nsa ayɛ.
ne basuula bakatonda baabwe mu muliro. Naye abo tebaali Katonda, baali mirimu gy’emikono gy’abantu, nga mbaawo n’amayinja, era kyebaava bazikirizibwa.
19 Afei, Ao Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn, gye yɛn firi ne tumi ase, na ɛbɛma ahennie a ɛwɔ asase so nyinaa ahunu sɛ wo nko ara, Ao Awurade, na woyɛ Onyankopɔn.”
Kaakano, Ayi Mukama, Katonda waffe, tukwegayiridde, otulokole mu mukono gwe, amawanga gonna ku nsi gamanye nga ggwe, Ayi Mukama, gwe Katonda wekka.”
20 Na Amos babarima Yesaia too saa nkra yi kɔmaa Hesekia sɛ, “Sɛdeɛ Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, seɛ nie: ‘Mate wo mpaeɛbɔ a ɛfa Asiriahene Sanaherib ho no.
Awo Isaaya mutabani wa Amozi n’aweereza Keezeekiya obubaka nti: “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, Mpulidde okusaba kwo ku bikwata ku Sennakeribu kabaka w’e Bwasuli.
21 Yei ne asɛm a Awurade aka atia no: “‘Ɔbabaabunu Sion sopa wo, na ɔsere wo. Ɔbabaa Yerusalem di wo ho fɛ, na ɔwoso ne ti ɛberɛ a woredwane.
Kino kye kigambo Mukama ky’ayogedde ku bimukwatako: “‘Omuwala wa Sayuuni embeerera akunyooma era akusekerera. Omuwala wa Yerusaalemi akunyeenyeza omutwe gwe nga bw’odduka.
22 Hwan na wasopa no na woagu ne ho fi yi? Hwan na woama wo nne so atia no na wohwɛɛ no ahantan so? Ɛyɛ Israel ɔkronkronni no!
Ani gw’ovumye era n’ovvoola? Ani gw’okandulidde eddoboozi lyo, era ani gw’oyimusirizza amaaso go n’amalala? Obikoze Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri!
23 Wonam wʼasomafoɔ so adi Awurade ho fɛw. Na woaka sɛ, “Mede me nteaseɛnam bebrebe no adi bepɔ tentene pa ara so, aane, Lebanon nkokoɔ a ɛwɔ akyirikyiri no. Matwitwa ntweneduro atentene pa ara ne ne pepeaa a ɛdi mu no nso agu fam. Maduru ne twetwɛwa so akyirikyiri na manantenante ne kwaeɛbirentuo mu.
Ojereze Mukama ng’oyita mu babaka bo. Era ogambye nti, “Nninye ku ntikko z’ensozi n’amagaali gange amangi, ku ntikko ezisingirayo ddala obuwanvu eza Lebanooni. Ntemye emivule egisingirayo ddala obuwanvu n’emiberosi gyayo egisingirayo ddala obulungi. Ntuuse ne mu bifo ebisingirayo ddala okuba ebikusike ne mu bibira ebisingirayo ddala okuba ebirungi.
24 Matutu nsubura wɔ ahɔhoɔ nsase bebree so de ne nsu pa no adwodwo me ho. Mpo, mepaee Misraim nsubɔntene mu sɛdeɛ mʼakodɔm bɛtumi atwa!”
Nsimye enzizi mu bannamawanga, n’enywa amazzi gaamu. Nkazizza emigga egy’e Misiri gyonna, nga ngirinnyirira n’ebisinziiro by’ebigere byange.”
25 “‘Na Monteeɛ? Ɛberɛ tentene a atwam na mehyɛ too hɔ. Ɛberɛ bi a atwam no na medwenee ho; afei mama aba mu sɛ, moadane nkuropɔn a mosɛe nkuro a wɔwɔ banbɔ ma wɔdane aboɔ asie.
“‘Tewawulira nga nakisalawo dda? Mu biro eby’edda nakiteekateeka, era kaakano nkituukirizza, olyoke ofuule ebibuga ebiriko bbugwe okuba ng’entuumo y’amayinja.

27 “‘Nanso, menim deɛ woteɛ ɛberɛ a woba ne ɛberɛ a wokorɔ ne sɛdeɛ wo bo huru tia me.
“‘Naye mmanyi obutuuliro bwo era mmanyi okufuluma kwo n’okuyingira kwo n’obuswandi bw’ondaga.

29 “Yei na ɛbɛyɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ ama woɔ, Ao Hesekia: “Saa afe yi wobɛdi deɛ ɛno ankasa fifirie, afe a ɛtɔ so mmienu no, wobɛdi deɛ ɛfiri mu ba. Na afe a ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa so no, mobɛdua mfudeɛ, na moatwa. Mobɛyɛ bobe nturo, na moadi nʼaba no.
“Era kano ke kanaaba akabonero ko, ggwe Keezeekiya. “Omwaka guno olirya ekyo ekimera kyokka, ne mu mwaka ogwokubiri ekiriva mw’ekyo. Naye mu mwaka ogwokusatu siga era okungule; era simba ennimiro ez’emizabbibu, olye ku bibala bya kwo.
30 Na mo a moaka Yuda a moatumi agyina ntua no mu ɔhaw ne abɛbrɛsɛ no ano no, mobɛsane atena mo asase so, na mobɛdi yie na moadɔre.
Ekitundu ekisigaddewo eky’ennyumba ya Isirayiri kyekiriva kiddamu ne kisimba emizi wansi, ne kibala ebibala waggulu.
31 Na nkaeɛfoɔ bi bɛfiri Yerusalem aba, na nkaeɛfoɔ dɔm afiri Bepɔ Sion so. Asafo Awurade di nsiyɛ bɛhwɛ ama yei aba mu.
Mu Yerusaalemi muliva ekitundu ekifisseewo, ne mu Lusozi Sayuuni ne muva abo abaliwona. Obuggya bwa Mukama ow’Eggye bulikituukiriza.
32 “Yei ne asɛm a Awurade ka fa Asiriahene ho: “Ɔrenhyɛne saa kuropɔn yi mu na ɔrento bɛmma wɔ ha. Ɔremfa akokyɛm mmɛnnyina kuropɔn no akyi na ɔrensi otua pie ntia no.
“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.
33 Ɔhene no kwan a ɔfaa so baeɛ no ara so na ɔbɛsane afa akɔ nʼankasa ɔman mu. Awurade ka sɛ, ɔrenwura saa kuro yi mu.
Ekkubo lye yakwata ng’ajja, omwo mw’aliddira, naye taliyingira mu kibuga kino, bw’ayogera Mukama.
34 Esiane mʼankasa mʼanimuonyam ne mʼakoa Dawid enti, mɛbɔ ho ban.”
Ndirwanirira ekibuga kino nkirokole, ku lwange, ne ku lw’omuddu wange Dawudi.’”
35 Saa anadwo no, Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ kɔɔ Asiria sraban mu, kɔkumm Asiria akodɔm no mpem ɔha aduɔwɔtwe enum. Asiriafoɔ a wɔkaeɛ no nyanee anɔpa no, wɔhunuu sɛ afunu gugu mmɔntene so baabiara.

36 Na Asiriahene Sanaherib gyaee ɔko no, kɔɔ nʼankasa nʼasase so. Ɔkɔtenaa nʼahenkuro Ninewe mu.
Awo Sennakeribu kabaka w’e Bwasuli n’ava mu nkambi, n’addayo ewuwe, n’agenda n’abeera e Nineeve.
