Aasiria kũmakia Jerusalemu
(2Maũ 32.1-19; Isa 36.1-22)
13Mwakainĩ wa ikũmi na ĩna wa wathani wa mũthamaki Hezekia, Senakeribu mũthamaki wa Aasiria nĩatharĩkĩire matũũra moothe ma Juda marĩa maarĩ mairigĩre na thingo cia hinya na akĩmanyiita. 14Naake Hezekia mũthamaki wa Juda akĩrekania Lakishi kwĩ Senakeribu akeerwo atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjĩhĩĩtie, ndagũthaitha tiga gũũtharĩkĩra na nĩngũkũhe kĩrĩa gĩothe ũkwenda.” Naake mũthamaki wa Aasiria agĩgĩtua atĩ Hezekia amũhe kiro ngiri ikũmi (10,000) cia betha na kiro ngiri ĩmwe (1,000) cia thahabu. 15Naake Hezekia agĩtwarĩra Senakeribu betha yothe ĩrĩa yarĩ Hekaarũinĩ o na ĩrĩa yarĩ mũthiithũinĩ wa nyũmba ya mũthamaki. 16Ningĩ agĩcooka akĩruta thahabu yothe ĩrĩa yarĩ mĩrangoinĩ ya Hekaarũ o na thahabu ĩrĩa yothe yahumbĩrĩĩte buremu ciayo, akĩmũtwarĩra. 17Naake mũthamaki wa Aasiria agĩtũma mbũtũ yake ya ita kuuma Lakishi ĩtongoreetio nĩ njaama ciake ithatũ iria nene mũno, igatharĩkĩre Hezekia kũu Jerusalemu. Nacio ciakinya kuo, ciarũũgamire ciĩhandĩĩte barabarainĩ hakuhĩ na harĩa athambia nguo maarutagira wĩra, harĩa haarĩ mũtaro ũrĩa warutaga maaĩ karũũĩinĩ ka mwena wa na rũgongo. 18Nacio ciarĩĩkia gũtũmanĩra mũthamaki Hezekia ooke, Eliakimu mũrũ wa Hilikia, ũrĩa warĩ mũnene wa nyũmba ya mũthamaki, na Shebina ũrĩa warĩ karani ka mũthamaki, na Joa mũrũ wa Asafu, ũrĩa warĩ mũmenyereri wa rekondi ciothe, makiumagara gũcitũnga. 19Naake ũmwe wa njaama icio cia Aasiria akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ mwĩre mũthamaki Hezekia atĩ mũthamaki wa Aasiria arooria atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ kĩĩ kĩu wĩhokeete ũguo?’ 20Ũgwĩciiria mĩgambo iiki no ĩĩtiirie wara na hinya wa thigari? Nũũ wĩhokeete agũteithĩrĩrie kũremera Aasiria? 21No gũkorwo wĩhokeete Misiri. Misiri no ta karũthanju kogondoku mũndũ etirimĩĩtie nako, gatheecaga mũndũ ũcio guoko gagatũrĩkania. Ũguo nĩguo mũthamaki wa Misiri ahaana harĩ mũndũ o wothe ũmwĩhokeete.”
22Naake mũnjaama ũcio agĩthiĩ na mbere kuuga atĩrĩ, “Mwahota kũnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Mwĩhokeete MWATHANI Ngai wanyu. Githĩ Hezekia ndamomorire kũndũ gũtũũgĩru gwa gũthaathaĩria na akĩmomora igongoona cia MWATHANI? Githĩ ndeerire andũ a Juda na Jerusalemu atĩ marĩthaathayagĩria o kĩgongoonainĩ kĩmwe kũu Jerusalemu? 23Rĩu-rĩ, rĩĩtwainĩ rĩa mũthamaki wa Aasiria, ngwĩhĩta atĩ no ndĩmũhe mbarathi cia mbaara ngiri igĩrĩ (2,000), mũngĩhota kuona thigari ciigana ũguo cia gũthiĩ icihaicĩĩte!’ 24Mũngĩkĩhota atĩa kũhũndũra o na mũtongoria ũrĩa mũniini wa thigari cia Aasiria, o rĩrĩa mwĩhokeete Amisiri mamũtũmĩre ngaari cia mbarathi o na thigari cia mbarathi? 25Ningĩ-rĩ, mũgwĩciiria njũkĩĩte gũtharĩkĩra na kũhũũra bũrũri wanyu itarĩ na ũteithio wa MWATHANI? Nĩ MWATHANI we mwene wanjĩĩrire ndĩũtharĩkĩre na ndĩwanange.”
26Hĩndĩ ĩyo Eliakimu, Shebina na Joa makĩĩra mũnjaama ũcio atĩrĩ, “Twagũthaitha twarĩrie na Kĩaramaika. Ithuĩ nĩtũũĩ rũthiomi rũu na nĩtũkũigua. Tiga gũtwarĩria na Kĩhibirania andũ aarĩa maikaire rũthingo igũrũ makĩiguaga.”
27No mũnjaama ũcio agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Mũgwĩciiria mũnene wakwa andũmire njũke njĩĩre o inyuĩ inyuiki na mũthamaki wanyu maũndũ macio? Githĩ ndandũmire o na kũrĩ andũ acio maikaire rũthingo igũrũ arĩa makaarĩa mai maao na manyue mathugumo maao o ta ũrĩa inyuĩ mũgeeka?”
28Agĩkĩrũũgama akĩĩhandahanda, akĩaria na rũthiomi rwa Kĩhibirania aanĩrĩire akiuga atĩrĩ, “Taiguai ũrĩa mũthamaki wa Aasiria ekuuga! Mũthamaki wa Aasiria aroiga atĩrĩ: 29Tigaai gwĩtĩkĩra mũthamaki Hezekia amũheenie; ndangĩhota kũmũhonokia. 30Tigaai kũreka Hezekia amũringĩrĩrie mwĩhoke MWATHANI atĩ nĩakaamũhonokia hatarĩ nganja, na atĩ itũũra rĩanyu rĩtikũneanwo mookoinĩ ma Aasiria. 31Tigaai gũthikĩrĩria Hezekia! Mũthamaki wa Aasiria aramwatha muumĩre itũũrainĩ na mwĩneane. Inyuothe nĩmũgwĩtĩkĩrio o mũndũ arĩage thabibũ cia mĩthabibũ yake na ngũyũ cia mĩkũyũ yake. Nĩmũgwĩtĩkĩrio mũnyuage maaĩ kuuma ithimainĩ cianyu, 32o nginya rĩria ngooka ndĩmũtware mũgatũũre bũrũri ũngĩ ũhaana o ta ũyũ wanyu. Kũu nĩgũgaakorwo mĩgũnda ya mĩthabibũ na ya ngano, na nĩmũkaahotaga gũthondeka ndibei, o na mĩgate. Nĩ bũrũri wa mĩtamaiyũ, maguta ma mĩtamaiyũ na ũũkĩ. Mũngĩĩka ũguo aramwatha, mũtigũkua nĩmũgũtũũra muoyo. Wĩmenyerereei Hezekia ndakaamũheenererie akĩmwĩra atĩ MWATHANI nĩekũmũhonokia. 33Nĩ ngai cia ndũũrĩrĩ ingĩ irĩkũ ciahonokirie bũrũri wacio kuuma harĩ mũthamaki wa Aasiria? 34Rĩu-rĩ, ngai cia Hamathu na Aripadi irĩ ha?

Mũgwĩciiria atĩ MWATHANI no ahonokie Jerusalemu kuuma mookoinĩ maakwa?”
36Andũ acio no gũkira maakirire na matiamwarĩirie o ta ũrĩa mũthamaki Hezekia aameerĩĩte. 37Thuutha ũcio Eliakimu, Shebina, na Joa magĩtembũranga nguo ciao nĩ kĩeha, magĩthiĩ magĩkinyĩria mũthamaki ũrĩa mũnjaama ũcio wa Aasiria oigĩĩte.
