uSaneribhe, ukumkani waseAsiriya, ulwa noYuda
1Emveni koko, nokuqinisela kwabo, weza uSaneribhe, ukumkani waseAsiriya, walingenela elakwaYuda, wayingqinga imizi enqatyisiweyo, wathi uya kuyithimba. 2Wabona uHezekiya ukuba uSenaribhe uyeza, waceba ukuyihlasela iYerusalem. 3Wacebisana nabathetheli bakhe namagorha akhe, ukuba bawavingce amanzi emithonjeni engaphandle komzi; bamnceda ke. 4Kwahlanganisana abantu abaninzi, bawavala onke amaqula, nomlanjana oqukuqelayo ezweni, bathi, Yini na ukuba ookumkani baseAsiriya beze bafumane amanzi amaninzi? 5Wazomeleza, walwakha lonke udonga olwaluwile, waluphakamisa ukuya kutsho kwiinqaba ezinde nolunye udonga ngaphesheya, wayivusa kwakhona iMilo kwisiXeko sikaDavide, wenza neentolo namakhaka amaninzi. 6Wabeka amadoda emfazwe phezu kwabantu waza wawahlanganisela kuye ebaleni lesango lesixeko waza wathetha nawo ngendlela ethuthuzelayo, wathi: 7Yomelelani nikhaliphe, musani ukoyika okanye ningoyiki ngenxa kakumkani waseAsiriya nangenxa yaso sonke isihlwele esikunye naye, kuba abo bakunye nathi baninzi ngakumbi kunabo bakunye naye. 8Kuye kukho isandla senyama; kodwa kuthi uYehova nguThixo wethu ukuba asincede asilwele amadabi ethu. Ke abantu bakholosa ngamazwi kaHezekiya ukumkani wakwaYuda. 9Emva koko uSenaribhe ukumkani waseAsiriya wathumela abakhonzi bakhe eYerusalem (kodwa wayingqinga iLakishe wonke umkhosi wakhe wamajoni awayekunye naye) kuHezekiya ukumkani wakwaYuda nakuYuda wonke owayeseYerusalem, wathi: 10Kwathiwa nguSaneribhe, ukumkani waseAsiriya, Ubuthembele ngantoni na, usayingqingile iYerusalem? 11uHezekiya makanganilahli na, ukuba uzinikele ekufeni yindlala nakunxanwa, esithi, uYehova, uThixo wethu, wosihlangula esandleni sokumkani waseAsiriya? 12Ndathi, Ndathi, uHezekiya akazisusi iziganga zakhe nezibingelelo zakhe, wathi kumaYuda nakwiYerusalem, Qubudani phambi kwesibingelelo sinye, niqhumisele phezu kwaso? 13Aniyazi na into endayenzayo noobawo ezintlangeni zonke zamazwe? Baba nako nokuba nako na oothixo bezizwe zala mazwe ukuwahlangula amazwe azo esandleni sam? 14Nguwuphi na koothixo bonke beentlanga ezabaqalekisayo oobawo owabahlangulayo abantu bakhe esandleni sam, ukuze uThixo wenu anihlangule esandleni sam? 15Ke kaloku, makanganikhohlisi uHezekiya, anikhohlise ngale ndlela, ningakholwa nguye nangoku; kuba akukho thixo walo naluphi na uhlanga okanye naluphi na ubukumkani oye wakwazi ukuhlangula abantu bako esandleni sam nasesandleni sooyise. Akayi kunihlangula na uThixo wenu esandleni sam? 16Abakhonzi bakhe baqhubeka bethetha kakubi ngoYehova uThixo nomkhonzi wakhe uHezekiya. 17Kananjalo wabhala iincwadi zokumnyelisa uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, wathetha kakubi ngaye, esithi, Njengoko oothixo bezizwe zakwamanye amazwe bengabasindisanga abantu babo esandleni sam, wenjenjalo uThixouThixo kaHezekiya ayiyi kusindisa abantu bakhe esandleni sam. 18Bamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu ngentetho yesiYuda kubemi baseYerusalem ababeseludongeni, beboyikisa, beboyikisa; ukuze bawuthimbe umzi. 19Bathetha ngoThixo weYerusalem njengoothixo bezizwe zehlabathi, umsebenzi wezandla zomntu. 20Ngoko uKumkani uHezekiya noIsaya unyana ka-Amos umprofeti bathandaza baze babongoze izulu. 21uYehova wathumela isithunywa sezulu, sawatshabalalisa onke amagorha, neenkosana, nabathetheli, emkhosini wokumkani waseAsiriya. Wabuyela kwelakowabo edanile. Uthe ke akungena endlwini yothixo wakhe, zaza zaphuma ezibilinini zakhe zambulalela khona ngekrele. 22Ngoko uYehova wamhlangula uHezekiya nabemi baseYerusalem esandleni sikaSaneribhe ukumkani waseAsiriya nasesandleni sabo bonke, wabakhupha macala onke. 23Abaninzi bazisa izipho kuYehova eYerusalem nezipho kuHezekiya ukumkani wakwaYuda, kangangokuba ukususela ngoku kuse phambili wazukiswa emehlweni eentlanga zonke. 24Ngelo xesha wayesifa uHezekiya, wayeza kufa, wathandaza kuYehova; wathetha kuye, wamnika umqondiso. 25Ke uHezekiya akazange abuyekeze ngokwenceba abenzelwe yona; ngokuba intliziyo yakhe yaphakama; ke ngoko, waba nomsindo ngakuye noYuda neYerusalem. 26Ke uHezekiya wamthoba ngenxa yekratshi lentliziyo yakhe, yena nabemi baseYerusalem, ababafikela ngemihla kaHezekiya uburhalarhume bukaYehova. 27uHezekiya ube nobutyebi nozuko olukhulu kunene, wazenzela ubutyebi besilivere, negolide, namatye anqabileyo, nobulawu, namakhaka, nawo onke amatye anqabileyo; 28noovimba bengqolowa, nobewayini, nobeoli; kunye neendlwana zezilwanyana ngeentlobo, kunye neendlwana zeenkomo. 29Ngaphezu koko, wamnika izixeko nemfuyo yempahla emfutshane, neenkomo ezininzi, ngenxa yokuba uThixo wayemnike ubutyebi obuninzi. 30uHezekiya lo wawuvala umntla ongasentla wamanzi aseGihon, wawubhekisa ngasentshona kwisixeko sikaDavide. Yaye uHezekiya waqhubeka ephumelela kuyo yonke imisebenzi yakhe. 31Ke mayela nabathunywa babathetheli baseBhabheli, ababethunyiwe kuye, beza kumbuza ngomangaliso owabakho kwelo lizwe, uThixo wamvavanya, ukuze akwazi konke okusentliziyweni yakhe. 32Ezinye izinto zikaHezekiya, nokwenza kwakhe ngenceba, nanzo kubhaliwe emehlweni kaIsaya unyana ka-Amos, umprofeti, nasencwadini yookumkani bakwaYuda nabakwaSirayeli. 33Walala uHezekiya kooyise, bamngcwabela entloko kumangcwaba oonyana bakaDavide; yaye onke amaYuda nabemi baseYerusalem bambeka imbeko ekufeni kwakhe. uManase unyana wakhe walawula esikhundleni sakhe.
