Ndozvakaita Farao mambo weIjipiti kuna vose vanovimba naye.
7“Asi kana zvako ukati kwandiri, ‘Tinovimba naTenzi.

Tenzi ndiye akanditi, ‘Vinga nyika iyoyi uiparadze.’ ”
11Eriakimu naShebhuna naJoa vakati kumutariri wezvomumuzinda, “Dai mukataura zvenyu kwatiri isu varanda venyu nechiSiria nokuti tinochinzwa. Regai zvenyu kutaura nesu nechiJudha vanhu vari parusvingo apo vachinzwa.”

13Mutariri mukuru wezvomumuzinda ndopaakasimuka kwazvo oshevedzera chaizvo muchiJudha achiti, “Tererai munzwe mashoko amambo mukuru, mambo weAsiria. 14Zvanzi namambo, ‘Regai kunyengedzwa naHezekiya nokuti haakwanisi kukununurai. 15Musarege Hezekiya achikutii muvimbe naTenzi achiti Tenzi anonyatsokununurai uye kuti guta rino harimboiswa mumaoko amambo wavaAsiria.’
16“Musateerere Hezekia nokuti zvanzi namambo weAsiria ngatinzwananei mubude kuno kwandiri. Mukadaro mumwe nomumwe achadya zvake muchero womugirepisi wake, munhu wose achidya zvake michero yomuonde wake, munhu wose achinwa mvura yomutsime rake, 17kusvikira ndauya kuzokutorai ndoenda nemi kunyika yakangoita senyika yenyu iyi.
“Nyika yembesanwa newaini
nyika yechingwa neminda yemagirepisi.
18Chenjererai. Hezekiya uyu angadaro akakufurirai achiti, ‘Tenzi achatinunura.’ Pamarudzi ose, pana mwari here akanunura nyika yake mumaoko amambo weAsiria? 19‘Ko vamwari vokuHamati nokuAripadhi varipi?’ Ko vamwari vokuSefarivhaimu varipiko? Vakanunura Samaria mumaoko mangu here? 20Pakati pavamwari vose venyika idzodzo ndivanaani vakanunura nyika dzavo mumaoko mangu zvingazonzi Tenzi achanunura Jerusaremu mumaoko angu?”
21Asi vanhu vakati mwiro kunyarara vakarega nokumupindura kwose nokuti chirevo chamambo chaiti, “Regai kumupindura.” 22Ipapo Eriyakimu mwanakomana waHirikiya aiva mukuru mukuru womumuzinda naShebhuna samunyori mukuru nomunyori Joa mwanakomana waAsafu vakaenda kuna Hezekiya vabvarura hanzu. Vakamusvitsa zvakanga zvataurwa nomutariri mukuru wezvomumuzinda.
