Abami b’Akabiri 20:1-21
20 Oko biro ebyo, Hezekia mwalwala; abya inianganahola. Omuminyereri Isaya, mughala wa Amozi, mwayamubana, amamubwira ati: “Yehova ati: ‘Uhe ab’omo kihanda kyaghu b’ebyalaghiro kundi siwendilama, ukendihola.’”
2 Mwalw’iniabindukirya obusu bwiwe bw’eyiri oluhimbo, amasaba Yehova ati:
3 “Yehova, ngakulemba-lemba, kisi wibuke ngoko nabya mutaleghula okw’iwe, kandi ngoko munakukolera n’omutima wosi. Kandi wibuke ngoko munakola ebyuwene omo meso waghu.” Neryo Hezekia mwalira kutsibu.
4 Embere Isaya ahike omo kati-kati k’ekibugha ekirimo enyumba y’omwami, Yehova mwamubwira ati:
5 “Suba eyiri Hezekia, oyukasondola abandu baghe, uyamubwire uti, ‘Yehova oMungu wa Daudi, tata-kulu waghu akabugha ati: “Nabiryowa omusabe waghu. Mongalangira emisonia yaghu, ngendikulamia. Ekiro ky’akasatu, ukendisyahetukira omo nyumba ya Yehova.
6 Ngatasyakuha emyaka* 15, kandi ngendikusabula, iwe n’abandu b’omo muyi ono omo byala by’omwami we Asiria. Ngendilwira oko muyi ono busana n’erina ryaghe, kandi busana na Daudi, omughombe waghe.”’”
7 Neryo Isaya mwabugha ati: “Mulete egato y’etini eyumire.” Neryo mubaletayo, bamahirayo oko kimata ky’omwami. Enyuma sy’aho, omwami mwatsuka erilama.
8 Hezekia abya iniabiribulya Isaya ati: “Niki kyo kikendikangania ngoko Yehova akendinilamya, kandi ngoko omo kiro ky’akasatu ngendisyerukira omo nyumba ya Yehova?”
9 Isaya mwamusubirya ati: “Ekiminyikalo ekikalua ewa Yehova, ekikendikangania ngoko Yehova akendiberererya ebyo alyabugha kya kino: Wanzire ekitsutsu ekiri oko mimbari ikyaseghera embere* y’ebika 10, kutse ikyasuba enyuma y’ebika 10?”
10 Hezekia mwabugha ati: “Ekitsutsu eriseghera embere y’ebika 10, ekyo ni kyolo, aliwe ekitsutsu erisuba enyuma y’ebika 10, ekyo si kyolo.”
11 Neryo omuminyereri Isaya mwasaba Yehova, naye mwasubya ekitsutsu ekyabya oko mimbari ya Ahazi ky’enyuma ebika 10.
12 Oko mughulu oyo, omwami we Babiloni, ye Berodaki-baladani mughala wa Baladani mwatumira Hezekia y’esyobaruha n’ebihembo, kundi mwowa ngoko Hezekia alwere.
13 Hezekia mwakokyabo,* amabakangania ebyumba byosi by’eribikamo ebindu by’obughuli, ni bugha ambu efeza,* ehoro, amaghuta w’ezeri, n’awandi maghuta w’obughuli, edepo y’eribikamo ebindu biwe by’amalwa, n’obuli kindu kyosi ekyabya omo byumba by’eribikamo ebindu by’obughuli. Hezekia mwabakangania ebyosi ebyabya omo nyumba yiwe n’ebyabya omo bwami bwiwe.
14 Enyuma sy’aho, omuminyereri Isaya mwaya eyiri Hezekia, amamubulya ati: “Abandu aba batiki? Kandi bakalua hayi?” Hezekia mwamusubirya ati: “Balyalua hali, balyalua e Babiloni.”
15 Neryo kandi Isaya mwabulya ati: “Mubakalangiraki omo nyumba yaghu?” Hezekia mwasubirya ati: “Mubakalangira ebyosi ebiri omo nyumba yaghe. Sihali n’ekindu n’ekighuma ekyo nitalyabakanganaya omo byumba ebyo ngabikamo ebindu by’obughuli.”
16 Neryo Isaya mwabwira Hezekia ati: “Hulikirira ekinywa kya Yehova:
17 Yehova akabugha ati, ‘Hane ekiro ekyo Abababiloni bakendisyaheka ebyosi ebiri omo nyumba yaghu, n’ebyo abotata-kulu waghu babya ibabiritunda erihika na munabwire.
18 Sihali n’ekindu n’ekighuma ekikendisyasighala, nibya n’abaghuma b’oko baghala baghu nabo bakendisyahekwa, bakendisyabya bakulu abakakolera omo bwikalo bw’omwami we Babiloni.’”
19 Neryo Hezekia mwabwira Isaya ati: “Ebyo Yehova amabugha byuwene.” Kandi mwabugha ati: “Aliwe byuwene ekihugho kyaghe kyamabisyabya omo buholo n’embolere* omo mughulu wosi ogho ngendisyabya inineho.”
20 Eyindi myatsi eyilebirye Hezekia, emyatsi yosi y’obutoki eyo akola, ngoko ahimba ekiriba* n’etarasi eyikaleta amaghetse w’omo muyi, ebyosi ebyo binahandikire omo kitabu ky’emighulu y’abami be Yuda.
21 Neryo Hezekia mwahola ngoko abotata-kulu wiwe bahola, na mughala wiwe Manase mwabya mwami omo mwanya wiwe.
