Ndozvakaita Farao mambo weIjipiti kuna vose vanovimba naye.

22“Asi kana zvako ukati kwandiri, ‘Tinovimba naTenzi, Mwari wedu,’ haasi ndiye here ane nzvimbo dzakatunhumara dzokuteurira neatari dzacho dzakabviswa naHezekiya achitaurira Judha neJerusaremu kuti, ‘Munofanira kunamata muri paatari iyi muJerusaremu umu.’ 23Mupikirane natenzi wangu mambo weAsiria, ndikupeka mabhiza zviuru zviviri.

Tenzi ndiye akanditi, ‘Vinga nyika iyoyi uiparadze.’ ”

26Eriakimu mwanakomana waHirikiya naShebhuna naJoa vakati kumutariri wezvomumuzinda wacho, “Dai mukataura zvenyu kwatiri isu varanda venyu nechiSiria nokuti tinochinzwa. Murege zvenyu kutaura nesu nechiJudha vanhu vari parusvingo apo vachinzwa.”

“Nyika yembesanwa newaini

nyika yechingwa nemigirepisi

nyika yemiti yemuorivhi nouchi

kuitira kuti murarame murege kufa.

Musateerere Hezekiya achikufurirai achiti, ‘Tenzi achatinunura.’ 33Pamarudzi ose pana mwari here ati ambonunura nyika yake mumaoko amambo weAsiria? ‘Ko vamwari vokuHamati nokuAripadhi varipi?’ 34Ko vamwari vokuSefarivhaimu novokuHena nokuIvha varipiko? Vakanunura Samaria mumaoko angu here? 35Pakati pavamwari vose venyika idzodzo ndivanaani vakanunura nyika dzavo mumaoko angu zvingazonzi Tenzi achanunura Jerusaremu mumaoko angu?”

36Asi vanhu vakati mwiro kunyarara vakarega nokumupindura kwose nokuti chirevo chamambo chaiti, “Regai kumupindura.” 37Ipapo Eriakimu mwanakomana waHirikiya aiva mukuru mukuru womumuzinda naShebhuna samunyori mukuru nomunyori Joa mwanakomana waAsafu vakaenda kuna Hezekiya hanzu vabvarura. Vakamusvitsa zvakanga zvataurwa nomutariri mukuru wezvomumuzinda.
