Kyabazinga Hezekia yeebuuzaaku amagezi ku Isaia
(Isa 37:1-7)
1Kyabazinga Hezekia bwe yawulira ebibono ebyo, yaakanulamu ebivaalo bye era yaavaala ekutiya olw’okunakughala. Agho yaaja mu isinzizo. 2Yaatuma Eliakimu eyalabiriranga ekisaagaati kya kyabazinga, ni Shebuna omughandiisi w’omu kisaagaati kya kyabazinga, n’abakulira bakabona, baaja eri Isaia omulanzi mutabane wa Amozi nga bavaire ekutiya olw’okunakughala. 3Baamukoba bati: “Hezekia akoba ati, ‘Olunaku luno lwa kudaazibwadaazibwa, kubonerezebwa na kuswazibwa. Tuli ng’oti n’omukazi atuusiisa okuzaala, aye ng’aziramu maani gasindika mwana. 4Kyabazinga w’e Assiria yatuma omukungu we omukologho okwidha okudhooga Katonda omulamu. Musengwa Katonda wo agwaine awulire ebyo byonabyona omukungu oyo by’ayogeire, era amubonereze olw’okubyogera.’ Kale ni sabira abo abanaawonagho ni basigala nga bakaaligho.”
5Abakwenda ba kyabazinga Hezekia bwe baatuusa obukwenda bwe eri Isaia, 6Isaia yaabakoba okwirayo ye musengwa waibwe, bamukobe bati: “Musengwa Katonda akoba ati, ‘Otatya bibono by’owuliire, abakungu ba kyabazinga w’e Assiria bye boogeire nga banvuma. 7Bona eno, ndidha kumutaamu ekidhuubo, mmuleetere okujiira ku lubono lw’awulira nga lwogerwa mu bantu, aireyo mu nsi ye. Era mmuleetere okwitibwa ng’ali eyo.’ ”
Abassiria bairamu kabiri okutiisatiisa Buyudaaya
(Isa 37:8-20)
8Agho omukungu oyo Omuassiria yaawulira nga kyabazinga w’ewaibwe aviire e Lakishi, era ng’ali kulwanisa ab’omu kibuga Libuna, kale ni n’okuja y’ali. 9Agho kyabazinga w’e Assiria baamukobera bati: “Bona, Tirihaka kyabazinga w’e Ethiopia asitwire eigye okukulwanisa.” Bwe yakiwulira, yairamu okugheereza abakwenda ye kyabazinga Hezekia, ng’akoba ati: 10“Muje mukobe Hezekia kyabazinga wa Buyudaaya muti, ‘Katonda wo ye weesiga atakulimba ng’akoba ati Yerusalemu tikiidha kugheebwayo mu ngalo dha kyabazinga w’e Assiria. 11Wawulira bakyabazinga ab’e Assiria bye baakola ensi dhoonadhoona, ni badhizikiriza okudhisaaniagho. Obwo iwe olowooza oti onaawona? 12Badhaadha bange baazikiriza ebibuga, Gozani, ni Harani, ni Rezefu, era baazikiriza Abaedeni abaali mu Telassari. Aye ghaalighooku omusambwa waire omulala ogwasobola okubawonia? 13Bakyabazinga ab’ebibuga, Hamathi, ni Arupadi, ni Sefarivaimu, ni Hena, ni Ivva, buti bali gha?’ ”
14Kyabazinga yaatoola embaluwa eyo ku bakwenda, yaagisoma. Yaamala yaaja mu isinzizo, yaagyandhuluza mu maiso ga Musengwa Katonda, 15yaasaba Musengwa Katonda ng’akoba ati: “Wo Musengwa Katonda, Katonda wa Isiraeli, iwe atyama ku bitonde eby’amaghagha ebyetebwa bikerubi, niiwe Katonda wenka. Niiwe wenka afuga obwakyabazinga bwonabwona ku nsi. Era niiwe watonda eigulu n’ensi.19:15: Kuv 25:22 16Wo Musengwa Katonda lingirira obone ebitutuuseeku, era otege kutu owulire ebibono Sennakeribu by’agheereiza okukuvuma, iwe Katonda omulamu. 17Wo Musengwa Katonda, mu butuufu bakyabazinga ba Assiria bazikiriiza amaghanga kamaala, baaleka ensi edh’amaghanga ago nga dhifafaagaine. 18Baayokya emisambwa gy’amaghanga ago, mu butuufu egitaali Katonda, aye ebifaananie obufaananie abantu bye baakola n’emikono gyaibwe mu miti ni mu mabaale. Ekyo n’ekyaleetera emisambwa egyo okuzikirizibwa. 19Wo Musengwa Katonda waife, mpegaano ni tukweghemba otuwonie, otutoole mu ngalo edh’Abassiria. Olwo abantu abamaghanga agandi boonaboona baghange okumanha nga iwe, Musengwa Katonda, niiwe Katonda wenka.”
Obukwenda Isaia bwe yagheereza kyabazinga
(Isa 37:21-38)
20Agho Isaia mutabane wa Amozi yaagheereza Hezekia obukwenda obukoba buti Musengwa Katonda wa Isiraeli akoba ati awuliire okusaba kwo ku bigema ku Sennakeribu kyabazinga w’e Assiria. 21Era bino Musengwa Katonda oyo by’akoba ku kyabazinga Sennakeribu oyo:
“Ekibuga Sioni kikunhoomye, kyakusekerera iwe Sennakeribu;
era ekibuga ekyo Yerusalemu kikukongoire.
22Olowooza oti naani y’ovumye era y’odhooze?
Naani y’okaabukiire era y’oziimwire?
Ninze Omutukuvu wa Isiraeli!
23Otumye abakwenda bo okuneesuutiraku nze Musengwa Katonda,
nga bakoba nga bwe wakozesa ebigaali byo eby’omu lutalo,
n’oghangula ensozi dhoonadhoona endeeyi edh’omu Lebanoni.
Weesuuta ng’eyo bwe watemayo emivule egisinga obuleeyi,
era n’otemayo n’emiti emisipuressi egisinga bulungi.
Waakoba nga bwe waingirira irala mu bibira,
mu kitundu ekisinga kuba kizibirivu.
24Weesuuta nga bwe wasima ensulo,
n’onhwa amaadhi mu nsi edh’abagwira,
era ng’ebigere eby’abaisirukale bo
bwe byakaza emiiga gyonagyona egy’e Misiri.
25Towulirangaku ng’ebyo byonabyona
nabitegeka ira nga byakubaagho?
Ebyo bye ndeeteire okubaagho mpegaano,
nabyekoota ira mu biseera ebyabita.
Kyewava n’ozikiriza ebibuga ebyezungulwirwa ebimante,
ni bifuuka bwa mmungo ya bimunku.
26N’abaabirimu kye baava bawaamu amaani,
ni batya einho era ni baasaamirira,
ni baba ng’oti isubi ery’omu nsiko,
era ng’oti isubi erimeze ghaigulu ku ndhu,
eriniala nga likaali kukula.
27Aye ndidhi byonabyona ebikufaaku,
ndidhi buli ky’okola, naamanha na buli y’oja,
era naamanha nga bw’oneedundeekezaaku.
28Mmaze okuwulira nga bw’oneedundeekezaaku
era nga bw’oneekuluntalizaaku.
Mpegaano nja kukutunga eirobo lyange mu nhindo yo,
nkusibe n’olukoba lwange mu kanwa mwo,
nkwiririzeeyo mu ngira yeene
ye wabitamu ng’oidha.”
29Agho Isaia yaakoba kyabazinga Hezekia ati: “Kano n’akanaaba akamanhiso akakwoleka ebinaabaagho: Mu mwaka guno ni mu mwaka ogwidha, muja kulya emere ng’emeze yeene. Aye mu mwaka oguliiraku mulisiga emere yaimwe mwagikungula. Mulisimba amasamba g’emizabbibu, mwalya n’ebibala byamu. 30Abo abaliwonagho mu Buyudaaya, balisibuka ng’ebimera ebisimba emizi gyabyo ghansi mu itaka, ni bitaaku ebibala ghaigulu. 31Ghaja kubaagho abandi abaliwonagho mu Yerusalemu, abaliva ku lusozi Sioni. Musengwa Katonda amaliriire okutuukiriza ekyo.
32“Bino Musengwa Katonda by’akoba ku kyabazinga w’e Assiria: ‘Taidha kwingira mu kibuga kino, waire okulasaayo akasaale. Taidha kukirumba na ngabo, waire okukibungaku emungo ey’eitaka ey’okuniiniraku okukirwanisa. 33Engira emuleese yeene eyo yaidha okugema, aireyo nga taingiireeku mu kibuga kino. Nze Musengwa Katonda, ninze nkobye. 34Ndidha kulwanirira ekibuga kino, nkikuume olw’ekitiibwa kyange, ni ku olw’omugheereza wange Daudi.’ ”
35Agho obwire obwo, malaika wa Musengwa Katonda yaaja mu kifo Abassiria ghe baasimba weema dhaibwe, yaita abantu emitwalo ikumi na munaana n’enkumi itaanu (185,000). Abantu bwe baazuuka ku nkyo, baaja okulinga bati ng’abo boonaboona mirambo!
36Agho Sennakeribu kyabazinga w’e Assiria yaavaagho yairayo, yaaja e Nineve yaaba eyo. 37Lwali lulala bweyali mu isabo ng’ali kusinza omusambwa gwe Nisiroki, batabane be Adurammeleki ni Sharezeri baamwita n’empiima, baamala baalumukira mu nsi y’e Ararati. Agho mutabane we owundi Esarahaddoni yaamusikira ku bwakyabazinga.
