1 Hagi Ela ne'mofo Hosea'ma Israeli vahe kinima 3'a kafuma nemanigeno'a, Ahasi nemofo Hezekai'a agafa huno Juda vahe kinia fore huno mani'ne.
Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wesithathu kaHosheya indodana kaEla, inkosi yakoIsrayeli, uHezekhiya indodana kaAhazi inkosi yakoJuda waba yinkosi.
2 Hagi Hezekaiana kafu'amo'a 25fu nehigeno kinia fore huteno, 29ni'a kafufi Jerusalemia kinia mani'neno kegava hu'ne. Nerera agi'a Abijakino Zekaraia mofa mani'ne.
Wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lanhlanu lapho esiba yinkosi; wabusa iminyaka engamatshumi amabili lesificamunwemunye eJerusalema. Lebizo likanina lalinguAbhi indodakazi kaZekhariya.
3 Hagi Negeho ne' Deviti'ma hu'neaza huno Hezekaia Ra Anumzamofo avurera maka fatgo avu'avaza hu'ne.
Wasesenza okulungileyo emehlweni eNkosi njengakho konke uDavida uyise akwenzayo.
4 Hagi havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hunentaza kumatmina Hezekai'a eri haviza hunetreno havema asente'nezama mono'ma nehaza havea ru tamana hunetreno, Asera havi anumzamofo amema'ama zafare'ma antre'za tro'ma hunte'nazana rukafri atre'ne. Ana nehuno Mosese'ma bronsireti osifavema tro'ma huntenege'za, Nehustani'ema nehaza osifavere'ma mnanentake zantamina kre mna nevu'za mono'ma hunentaza zana erino ru tamanahu osi osi hutre'ne.
Yena wasusa indawo eziphakemeyo, wabhidliza insika eziyizithombe, wagamula izixuku, wachoboza inyoka yethusi uMozisi ayeyenzile, ngoba kuze kube yilezonsuku abantwana bakoIsrayeli babeyitshisela impepha; wayibiza ngokuthi nguNehushitani.
5 Hezekai'a Israeli vahe Ra Anumzantera hanavetino amentintia hu'ne. Hagi ko'ma Juda vahe kinima mani'za e'naza kini vahe'ene, agriteti'ma henkama fore'ma hu'naza kini vahepintira magore hu'za agrikna kinia forera osu'naze.
Wathembela eNkosini, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli; okwathi emva kwakhe kakubanga khona onjengaye emakhosini wonke akoJuda, loba ayengaphambi kwakhe.
6 Agra Ra Anumzamofona maka kna azeri antrako nehuno, amefira huomi'ne. Ana nehuno Ra Anumzamo'ma Mosesema ami'nea kasegea amage ante'ne.
Ngoba wanamathela eNkosini, kaphambukanga ekuyilandeleni, kodwa wagcina imilayo yayo iNkosi eyayilaya uMozisi.
7 Anama higeno'a Ra Anumzamo'a Hezekai'ene mani'negeno, maka'zama agrama hiazamo'a knare'zanke hu'ne. Hagi Asiria kinimofo kema antahino agri agoragama mani'neno eri'zama'ama erinte'zankura aveosi'ne.
LeNkosi yaba laye; loba ngaphi lapho aphumela khona waphumelela. Wavukela inkosi yeAsiriya, kayisebenzelanga.
8 Hagi ne'onse kumapine hankave keginama hu'naza ranra kumapima nemaniza Filistia vahera ogantu Gaza rankumateti agafa huteno, ana kuma tva'onte'ma me'nea ne'onse kumapima nemaniza vahera, Hezekaia'a ana maka hara huzmagatere'ne.
Yena watshaya amaFilisti waze wafika eGaza lemingcele yayo, kusukela emphotshongweni wabalindi kuze kube semzini obiyelweyo.
9 Hagi Hezekai'ama kinima manino egeno 4ma hia kafurera, Ela nemofo Hosea'ma Israeli kinima mani'neana kafu'amo'a 7ni hu'ne. Ana kafufina Asiria kini ne' Salmaneseli'a sondia vahezaga'ane eno ha'huzmante'naku Sameria kumara eme avazagi kagi'ne.
Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wesine wenkosi uHezekhiya, owawungumnyaka wesikhombisa kaHosheya indodana kaEla, inkosi yakoIsrayeli, uShalimaneseri inkosi yeAsiriya wenyuka wamelana leSamariya, wayivimbezela.
10 Hagi Asiria vahe'mo'za Sameria rankumara avazagikagiza hara hume nevazageno 3'a kafu evutege'za, ana kumara hara huzmagatere'za eri'naze. Higeno ama ana kafumo'a Hezekaima kinima manino e'nea kafua 6si higeno, Hosea'ma kinima manino'ma e'nea kafua 9ni hu'ne.
Basebeyithumba ekupheleni kweminyaka emithathu. Ngomnyaka wesithupha kaHezekhiya, owawungumnyaka wesificamunwemunye kaHosheya inkosi yakoIsrayeli, iSamariya yathunjwa.
11 Anama huteno Asiria kini ne'mo'a Israeli vahera zamavareno Asiria vuno, mago'a ome zamatrege'za Hala kumate nemanizageno, mago'a Habori ti tvaonte Gosani kaziga nemanizageno, mago'a Midia vahe'ma nemaniza ranra kumatmimpi zamatrege'za mani'naze.
Inkosi yeAsiriya yathumbela uIsrayeli eAsiriya, yababeka eHala leHabori umfula weGozani, lemizini yamaMede.
12 Na'ankure ana maka knazama Israeli vahete'ma fore hu'neana, zamagra Ra Anumzana Anumza zamimofo nanekea amage nonte'za, Ra Anumzamo'ma zamagranema erihagerafi huvempa kema hu'neana rutagre'za, Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Mosese'ma zami'nea kasegenena zamefi huminagu, anara hu'naze.
Ngoba bengalilalelanga ilizwi leNkosi uNkulunkulu wabo, kodwa baseqa isivumelwano sayo, konke uMozisi inceku yeNkosi eyayikulayile; kabalalelanga, kabenzanga.
13 Hagi Hezekaia'ma Juda vahe kinima mani'negeno 14nima hia kafufina, Asiria kini ne' Senakeripi'a Juda vahera eme hahuzmanteno ana maka ranra kuma'ma hankave keginama hu'naza kumatmina erivagare'ne.
Langomnyaka wetshumi lane wenkosi uHezekhiya, uSenakheribi inkosi yeAsiriya wenyuka wamelana layo yonke imizi yakoJuda ebiyelweyo, wayithumba.
14 Hagi Asiria kini ne' Senakeripi'ma Lakisi kumate'ma mani'negeno'a, Juda kini ne' Hezekai'a amanage huno kea atrentegeno vu'ne, Nagra hazenke hu'noe. E'ina hu'negu kagra natrenka rukrahe hunka vuo. Anama hnanke'na nagra nazano mizasenantoma hunka hanana zana amne kamigahue. Higeno Asiria kini ne'mo'a Hezekaiankura asamino, silva zagoa kna'amo'a 11tausen kilo hu'nesia nenaminka, golia kna'amo'a 1tausen kilonaza hu'nenia namigahane huno hunte'ne.
UHezekhiya inkosi yakoJuda wasethumela enkosini yeAsiriya eLakishi esithi: Ngonile; buyela usuke kimi; okubeka phezu kwami ngizakuthwala. Inkosi yeAsiriya yasibeka phezu kukaHezekhiya inkosi yakoJuda amathalenta esiliva angamakhulu amathathu, lamathalenta angamatshumi amathathu egolide.
15 Hagi anagema higeno'a, Ra Anumzamofo mono nompima silva zagoma me'neama'ane, kini ne'mofo nompima zagoma nentafima silva zagoma me'neama'a ana maka Hezekaia'a erivagareno ami'ne.
UHezekhiya wasemnika sonke isiliva esatholakala endlini kaJehova lenothweni yendlu yenkosi.
16 Hagi Ra Anumzamofo mono nomofo kafaraminte'ene kafa zafare'ma, Hezekaia'ma anoma vazinte'nea golinena ana zupa, agra'a maka kanopevareno Asiria kini nera ami'ne.
Ngalesosikhathi uHezekhiya waquma igolide ezivalweni zethempeli leNkosi, lemigubazini uHezekhiya inkosi yakoJuda ayekunamathisele, walinika inkosi yeAsiriya.
17 Hagi Asiria kini ne'ma Lakisi kumate'ma mani'neno, sondia vahete'ma ugagota hu'naza 3'a kva vahera huzmantege'za, tusi sondia vahe'zagane Hezekai'ma Jerusalemi mani'nerega vu'naze. Hagi ana vahe'mo'za Jerusalemi uhanatite'za, anaga kazigama me'nea tirutegati'ma kerima ase'za tima avre'za Jerusalemi kumapima urami'nazare vu'za ana tvaonte umani'naze. Ana tima avre'naza kerimo'a tavravere'ma penima fre'za tro'ma nehaza kumategama vu'nea kamofo tvaonte me'ne.
Inkosi yeAsiriya yasithuma uTharithani loRabi-Sarisi loRabi-Shake besuka eLakishi besiya enkosini uHezekhiya belebutho elinzima eJerusalema. Benyuka-ke bafika eJerusalema. Sebenyuke bafika bema emgelweni wechibi eliphezulu, elisemgwaqweni omkhulu wensimu yomwatshi.
18 Hagi ana kini ne' Hezekaianku ke hazageno, agri nonte'ma kegavama nehia ne' Hilkia nemofo Eliakiminki, avontafe'ma kreno eri fatgoma nehia ne' Sebnanki, kini ne'mo'ma ana maka'zama hiazama avompima krenentea ne', Asapu nemofo Joanki huno huzmantege'za vu'naze.
Sebebize inkosi, kwaphumela kibo uEliyakhimi indodana kaHilikhiya owayengumphathi wendlu, loShebina umbhali, loJowa indodana kaAsafi umabhalane.
19 Hagi ana 3'a Hezekaia eri'za vahe'ma uhanatizageno'a, Siria sondia vahete ugota kva ne' Rabsake'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Asiria kumate hanavenentake kini ne'mo'a amanage huno hie, Kagra ina hankveka'agu nentahinka nagri nagorga mani'nakura nosane hanki Hezekaiana ome asamiho.
URabi-Shake wasesithi kibo: Khulumani khathesi kuHezekhiya: Itsho njalo inkosi enkulu, inkosi yeAsiriya ithi: Yisibindi bani lesi, othembela kuso?
20 Kagrama nehanana ha'ma hu antahintahine sondia vahe'enena knare hu'noe hunka nehananagi, kekamo'a nena'a forera osugahie. Ina vahe'mo kzahuku higenka, kagra nagri nagorga nomani'ne.
Uthi, kodwa yilizwi lendebe nje: Kulecebo lamandla empi. Usuthembe bani ukuthi ungivukele?
21 Hagi menina kagra Isipi vahe'mo'za naza hanage'na hara hugahue hunka kavua nentane. Hianagi Isipi kumamo'a ketamo rufutagiankna hu'ne. E'ina hu'neankinka ana ketama erinkama azompama renka'ma vnanana kzampi kregahie. Hagi Isipi kini ne'mofo avu'ava'amo'a e'ina ketakna hu'neankino, agrama tamazama haniana e'ina hugahie.
Khangela-ke, wena uthembele odondolweni lomhlanga owephukileyo, oluyiGibhithe, uba umuntu eseyama phezu kwalo, luzangena esandleni sakhe lusihlabe. Unjalo uFaro inkosi yeGibhithe kubo bonke abathembela kuye.
22 Hianagi kagrama hunka, Israeli vahe'mota Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamofonte tamentinti nehunankino, taza hugahie hunka hugahananagi, tamaza osugahie. Na'ankure Hezekaiaga kagra mono'ma hunentaza kumatamine Kresramanama nevaza itaramina ana maka eri haviza huvaganerenka, Juda vahe'ene Jerusalemi vahekura zamasaminka, Jerusalemige eta magoke kresramna vu itama me'nereke monora eme hunteho hunka hu'nane.
Kodwa uba lisithi kimi: ENkosini uNkulunkulu wethu siyathemba; angithi yiyo elezindawo zayo eziphakemeyo lamalathi ayo uHezekhiya awasusileyo, wathi kuJuda leJerusalema: Phambi kwalelilathi lizakhonza eJerusalema?
23 Hagi Hezekaiagagura Asiria kini nemo'a amanage huno hu'ne, Kagrama hu izo hunka mago krimpama hnanke'na, kagri sondia vahe'ma knare huno rama'ama mani'nesazana amne 2tauseni'a hosi afura kamisnuge'za agumpina mani'za vugahazanagi nagrama antahuana e'inahu avamentera sondia vaheka'a omani'naze.
Ngakho-ke, akunike isibambiso enkosini yami, inkosi yeAsiriya, njalo ngizakunika amabhiza azinkulungwane ezimbili, uba wena ulakho ukunika abagadi bawo.
24 Hagi kagrama Isipi vahe'mokizmi karisine, hosi afu agumpima mani'za ha'ma nehaza sondia vaheku'ma antahinezaminana, inanka hunka tagripintira mago agi omaneno, amne sondia vahera hara hugateregahane?
Pho, uzabuyisela emuva njani ubuso benduna eyodwa yabancinyane nje benceku zenkosi yami; wena-ke uthembele eGibhithe ngezinqola labagadi bamabhiza?
25 Hagi mago'anena nagra navesite e'na hara eme hugante'na mopaka'a eri haviza hunakura ome'noe. Ra Anumzamo hunanteno vunka ha' ome huzmantenka mopazamia eri haviza huo huno hige'na e'noe.
Kambe ngenyukile yini ukumelana lalindawo ngingelaJehova ukuyichitha? UJehova uthe kimi: Yenyuka umelane lalelilizwe, ulichithe.
26 Hagi Hilkia nemofo Eliakimi'ma, Sebna'ma, Joasi'ma hu'za anankema nentahi'za, Asiria sondia vahete'ma ugota hu'nea sondia ne' Rabsakena amanage hu'za asmi'naze, tagra kagri eri'za vahe mani'nonanki Asiria vahe'mokizmi zamagerupinti tasamio. Na'ankure tagra ana tamagerura antahinone. Hagi Hibru tagerupintira ontasamio, kagrama anama hnanke'za kuma keginamofo agofetu'ma mani'naza vahe'mo'za hanana nanekea antahigahaze hu'za hu'naze.
UEliyakhimi indodana kaHilikhiya loShebina loJowa basebesithi kuRabi-Shake: Akukhulume lenceku zakho ngesiSiriya, ngoba siyasizwa; ungakhulumi lathi ngesiJuda endlebeni zabantu abasemdulini.
27 Hianagi ana sondia vahete kva ne'mo'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Kvani'amo'ma hunantege'na e'noana tamagri 3'a nagate'ene kini tamimofontegagera ama nanekea atreramantege'na eri'na ome'noanki, anama kegina agofetu'ma mani'naza vahemo'zanena amne ananke'a antahighaze. Na'ankure ha'ma erita eme kumatmima avazagi kagisunke'za, kegina agofetu'ma mani'naza ne'za nesazazanku huge'za rifa'zami nene'za abire'za nenesageta, tamagranena ana zanke hugahaze.
Kodwa uRabi-Shake wathi kubo: Inkosi yami ingithumile yini enkosini yakho lakuwe ukukhuluma lamazwi? Kakusebantwini yini abahlezi phezu komduli ukuze badle ubulongwe babo, banathe umchamo wabo kanye lani?
28 Hagi anante ana sondia vahete kva ne'mo'a otino Hibru vahe'mokizmi zamagerupinti kezatino amanage huno zamasami'ne, tamagra amarega tamagesa ante'neta hankave kini ne' Asiria kini ne'mofonkea antahiho!
URabi-Shake wasesima wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu ngesiJuda, wakhuluma esithi: Zwanini ilizwi lenkosi enkulu, inkosi yeAsiriya.
29 Hagi Asiria kini ne'mo'a amanage huno hu'ne, Tamagra atrenkeno Hezekaia'a reramatga osino, agra muhara osu'neankino nagri nazampintira tamagura ovazigahie.
Itsho njalo inkosi: UHezekhiya kangalikhohlisi, ngoba kayikuba lakho ukulikhulula esandleni sayo.
30 Hagi Hezekaia'ma huno Ra Anumzamo'a taza hanigeta knare huta manisunke'za Asiria vahe'mo'za Jerusalemi rankumara hara huragatere'za e'origahazanki Ra Anumzamofontega tamentinti hihoma huno tutu huramantesia kegura antahiomiho.
Njalo uHezekhiya angalenzi lithembele eNkosini esithi: INkosi izasikhulula lokusikhulula, lalumuzi kawuyikunikelwa esandleni senkosi yeAsiriya.
31 Hagi tamagra Hezekaia nanekea antahimita ha'mahu tamagesa ontahiho. Asiria kini ne'mo'a huno tamagrama natresage'nama kumatmima erisu'na, nagra amne tamatresugetma, waini hozatmifintira wainia tagita nenetma, fiki zafa ragatamia tagitma nenetma, tinkeri tamifintira tina afitma negahaze.
Lingamlaleli uHezekhiya, ngoba itsho njalo inkosi yeAsiriya: Yenzani isivumelwano sokuthula lami, liphume lize kimi; dlanini-ke, ngulowo lalowo okwevini lakhe langulowo lalowo okomkhiwa wakhe, linathe, ngulowo lalowo amanzi omthombo wakhe;
32 Hagi ana hutma kofta kna'afi mani'nesnage'na, nagra eme tamavre'na vu'na tamagri mopagna mopama, witi ragane waini timo'ene, bretine waini hozamo'ene, olivi zafamo'ene tumerimo'ma tusizama hu'nea mopa ome tamihanugeta ofrita umanigahaze. E'ina hu'negu Hezekaiama huno, Ra Anumzamo tagu'vazigahie huno havigema nehia kagura ontahiho.
ngize ngifike ngilithathe ngilise elizweni elifanana lelizwe lakini, ilizwe lamabele lewayini elitsha, ilizwe lesinkwa lezivini, ilizwe lamafutha emihlwathi loluju, ukuze liphile lingafi. Lingamlaleli uHezekhiya ngoba eliyenga esithi: INkosi izasikhulula.
33 Hagi mago kaziga mopare anumzamo'a vahe'a zamagu vazige'za Asiria kinia hara hu'za agaterenazafi? A'o mago kuma'mo'e huno anara osu'ne.
Onkulunkulu bezizwe sebake bawakhulula yini ngulowo lalowo ilizwe lakhe esandleni senkosi yeAsiriya?
34 Hagi Hamati rankuma'ma, Arpati rankuma'ma, Sefarvaimi rankuma'ma, Hena rankum'ma, Iva rankuma'enema, tagrama vuta ha'ma huzmante'nonana anumza zamimo'za iga mani'ne'za zamaza osu'naze. Hagi Sameria kuma'ma ha'ma huzmante'nonana anumzazmimo'a zamagura ovazi'ne.
Bangaphi onkulunkulu beHamathi leArpadi? Bangaphi onkulunkulu beSefavayimi, beHena, leIva? Kambe bayikhulule yini iSamariya esandleni sami?
35 Hagi mago'a kuma'ma ha'ma huzmante'nonana anumza zamimo'a mago kumare huno zamaza hige'za hara huragateore'naze. E'ina hu'negu inankna huno Ra Anumzamo'a tamazahina tagrira hara huragatereta Jerusalemi kumara agura vazigahaze?
Ngobani kubo bonke onkulunkulu balawomazwe abakhulule ilizwe labo esandleni sami, ukuthi iNkosi ikhulule iJerusalema esandleni sami?
36 Hagi ana Asiria sondia vahete kva ne'mo'ma keagama hu'neana zamagra akohe'za mani'ne'za keaga'arera magore hu'za kenona'a osu'naze. Na'ankure kini ne' Hezekaia'a zamasamino, Keaga'arera mago kea nona osiho huno huzmante'nege'za anara hu'naze.
Kodwa abantu bathula, kabaze bamphendula lalizwi, ngoba umlayo wenkosi wawuyikuthi: Lingamphenduli.
37 Anante kini ne'mofo nonte kva nehia ne' Hilkia nemofo Eliakimiki, avontafe'ma kreno eri fatgoma nehia ne' Sebnaki, Asapu nemofo Joa'ma kini ne'mo'ma ana maka'zama hiazama avompima krenentea neki, hu'za kukenazamia tagoto tagutu hute'za kini ne' Hezekaiantera e'za Asiria sondia vahete kva ne'mo'ma hia nanekea eme asmi'naze.
UEliyakhimi indodana kaHilikhiya owayengumphathi wendlu, loShebina umbhali, loJowa indodana kaAsafi umabhalane, basebesiza kuHezekhiya izigqoko zidatshuliwe, bamtshela amazwi kaRabi-Shake.
