2 Mathemba 20:1-21
20 Mu mazuŵa ghara, Hezekiya wakalwara vwitivwiti pafupi kufwa.+ Ntchimi Yesaya mwana wa Amozi yikiza ndipo yikati: “Yehova wakuti: ‘Ulayilirethu ŵamunyumba yako, pakuti ufwenge, uchirenge yayi.’”+
2 Penepapo Hezekiya wakalazgira chisko chake ku chiwumba* na kwamba kulomba kwa Yehova kuti:
3 “Nkhumuŵeyani, A Yehova, kumbukani umo nendera pamaso pinu mwakugomezgeka kweniso na mtima wakufikapo, ndipo nachita icho ntchiwemi mu maso ghinu.”+ Hezekiya wakamba kulira chomene.
4 Yesaya wakafuma, kweni pambere wandafike pa luŵaza lwamukati, mazgu gha Yehova ghakiza kwa iyo, kuti:+
5 “Welera kwa Hezekiya, mulongozgi wa ŵanthu ŵane, ukamuphalire kuti: ‘Yehova Chiuta wa Davide sekuru wako wakuti: “Napulika lurombo lwako. Nawona masozi ghako.+ Wona, nikuchizgenge.+ Pa zuŵa lachitatu ulutenge ku nyumba ya Yehova.+
6 Nisazgirengeko vyaka 15 ku umoyo wako.* Nithaskenge iwe na msumba uwu mu woko la themba la Asiriya,+ ndipo nivikilirenge msumba uwu chifukwa cha namwene ndiposo chifukwa cha Davide muteŵeti wane.”’”+
7 Penepapo Yesaya wakati: “Torani bulunga la vikuyu vyakudinya.” Ŵakiza nalo na kukamatira pa phumba, ndipo wakamba kuchira.+
8 Hezekiya wakafumba Yesaya kuti: “Kasi chimanyikwiro+ chakuti Yehova wanichizgenge ndipo pa zuŵa lachitatu nikwelerenge ku nyumba ya Yehova ntchakuti wuli?”
9 Yesaya wakati: “Ichi ntchimanyikwiro chakufuma kwa Yehova kukulongora kuti Yehova wachitenge mazgu agho wayowoya: Kasi ukukhumba kuti muzgezge ulute panthazi masitepu 10 pa makwelero,* panji uwelere kumanyuma masitepu 10?”+
10 Hezekiya wakati: “Ntchipusu kuti muzgezge ulute panthazi masitepu 10, kweni muzgezge ungawelera yayi kumanyuma masitepu 10.”
11 Ntheura Yesaya ntchimi wakalilira kwa Yehova, ndipo Chiuta wakawezgera nyuma muzgezge pa makwelero gha Ahazi na masitepu 10 agho ukajumphapo kale.+
12 Pa nyengo yira, Berodaki-baladani mwana wa Baladani themba la Babuloni wakatuma makalata na chawanangwa kwa Hezekiya, chifukwa wakapulika kuti Hezekiya wakalwara.+
13 Hezekiya wakaŵapokelera* na kuŵalongora nyumba yake yakusungamo vyuma,+ siliva, golide, mafuta gha basamu na mafuta ghanyake ghakuzirwa, vilwero vyake, na vyose ivyo vikasangika mu usambazi wake. Pakaŵavya icho Hezekiya wakaleka kuŵalongora mu nyumba yake na mu muwuso wake wose.
14 Penepapo ntchimi Yesaya yikiza kwa Themba Hezekiya na kulifumba kuti: “Kasi ŵanthu aŵa ŵayowoyachi ndipo ŵafuma nkhu?” Hezekiya wakati: “Ŵafuma ku charu chakutali, ku Babuloni.”+
15 Wakafumbaso: “Kasi ŵawonachi mu nyumba yinu?” Hezekiya wakati: “Ŵawona chilichose mu nyumba yane. Palije icho nindaŵalongore mu usambazi wane.”
16 Sono Yesaya wakati kwa Hezekiya: “Pulikani mazgu gha Yehova,+
17 ‘Wona, mazuŵa ghakwiza, vyose ivyo vili mu nyumba yako na vyose ivyo ŵasekuru ŵako ŵakasunga m’paka muhanya uno vizamutolekera ku Babuloni.+ Palije icho chizamusidikapo,’ wakuti Yehova.
18 ‘Ndipo ŵana ŵako ŵanyake awo ubabenge ŵazamutoleka.+ Ŵazamuŵa ŵantchito mu nyumba ya themba la Babuloni.’”+
19 Penepapo Hezekiya wakati kwa Yesaya: “Mazgu gha Yehova agho wayowoya ngawemi.”+ Wakatiso: “Ngawemi, usange mu umoyo wane* muŵenge mtende na kufwasa.”*+
20 Mdauko unyake wose wa Hezekiya, nkhongono zake zose, umo wakajimira chiziŵa+ na mugelo uwo ukanjizganga maji mu msumba,+ asi vili kulembeka mu buku la mdauko wa mu nyengo za mathemba gha Yuda?
21 Hezekiya wakagona na ŵasekuru ŵake.+ Mwana wake Manase+ wakaŵa themba mu malo ghake.+
