Mamwene a Nenli

18 Eyaakha ya neeraru ya Hoxeya,+ mwaana a Elahi, mwene a wIsarayeli, Ezekiya+ mwaana a Akhazi,+ mwene a oYuda aahikhala mwene. 2 Owo aarina iyaakha 25 okathi aakhanle awe mwene, nave aahilamulela iyaakha 29 oYerusalemu. Maama awe aihaniwa Abi,* mwaana a Zakariya.+ 3 Owo aanipaka itthu sooloka vamaithoni va Yehova,+ ntoko iirale awe muhavinre awe, Davidi.+ 4 Ezekiya taamala-malinhe mapuro oorakamela osulu+ yaakokhoreliwa amuluku eethiru, taapwexakanse ipilaari saakokhoreliwa ni taikintthe mwiri woowuuma waakokhoreliwa.*+ Nave-tho aahipwexa enowa ya ekoopiri yeeyo Moise aapanke awe,+ maana mpakha okathi ole, atthu a Isarayeli yaanivaha mwiixi wa mukuttho woopahiwa ohoolo wa enowa eyo, ni yaaniihana elatarato ya enowa ya ekoopiri.* 5 Ezekiya aanimuroromela Yehova,+ Muluku a Isarayeli. Eriyari ya mamwene ootheene a oYuda, khuuvo aalikana ni Ezekiya, akhale ale aaranttenle awe, aahiiso ale yaamuranttenle. 6 Owo aahinvarexexa Yehova,+ ni khaamuhiyale omutthara. Nave, khaahiyale otthara sooruma seiyo Moise aavahiwe awe ni Yehova. 7 Yehova aari nuuwo. Khula etthu Ezekiya aapaka awe, aapaka ni ankhili. Aahimurukunuwela mwene a wAsiiria, ni aahikhootta omurumeela.+ 8 Ezekiya aahaaxintta afilisti+ mpakha oGaza ni mittetthe saya, okhuma empa yoorakamela osulu ya alipa-oowehaweha, mpakha epooma yoolipihiwa.*

9 Eyaakha ya neexexe ya mwene Ezekiya, eyo piiyo, eyaakha ya neethanu nenli ya Hoxeya+ mwaana a Elahi, mwene a wIsarayeli, Salmanaseri mwene a wAsiiria, aahiphiya oSamariya, onapacerya orukurerya.+ 10 Asiiria yaahikuxa muttetthe wa oSamariya,+ wookiseryani wa iyaakha tthaaru. Muttetthe owo wa oSamariya, waakuxiwe eyaakha ya neethanu namosa ya Ezekiya, yeeyo yaari eyaakha ya neethanu neexexe ya Hoxeya, mwene a wIsarayeli. 11 Nuumala-vo, mwene a wAsiiria aahaakuxa atthu a Isarayeli ntoko ipottha,+ aaroiha wAsiiria, aahiya akhalaka oHala ni oHabori, waattamela muro Gozani ni ipooma sa oMedia.+ 12 Eyo yaahiiraneya mwaha woowi khiyaawiriyanne nsu na Yehova Muluku aya, masi yaahithipelela ohonona nivarihano nawe ni itthu sootheene Moise, murumeyi a Yehova aarumme awe.+ Awo khiyaawiriyanne, nnakhala khiyaiwelenle.

13 Eyaakha ya namuloko neexexe ya mwene Ezekiya, nto Senakeribi mwene a wAsiiria,+ aahirwa otuphela ipooma sootheene soolipihiwa sa oYuda ni aahikuxa.+ 14 Vano Ezekiya mwene a oYuda, aahiruma oleeliwa mwene a wAsiiria, oLakixi wiira: “Koottheka. Mukhume mulaponi mwaka, miyo kinimoovahani ele munrowa anyu okivekela”. Mwene a wAsiiria aahiruma wiira Ezekiya mwene a oYuda omulive italento* 300 sa eparatha ni italento 30 sa eweero. 15 Nto Ezekiya aahinvaha eparatha yootheene yaari mpaani mwa Yehova, ni yaari opuro waasukiwa mihakhu sa empa* ya mwene.+ 16 Okathi ole, Ezekiya aahikumiha mikhora sa etemplo+ ya Yehova, ni ipantte sa osulu sa mukhora, mwene Ezekiya a oYuda aasirikenle awe ni eweero,+ onvahererya mwene a wAsiiria.

17 Nto ori ene oLakixi,+ mwene a wAsiiria aahimuruma Tartani,* Rabi-Sarixi* ni Rabisake* vamosa ni anakhotto anceene, wiira yakumane ni mwene Ezekiya, oYerusalemu.+ Awo yaahiphiya oYerusalemu, yeemela waattamela nipuro ninvira maasi a ntthiya na osulu, ephiro eniroiha opuro onivara awe muteko mulipa-ookattha.+ 18 Okathi yaamwiihanne aya mwene wiira okhumele ota, Eliyakiimi+ mwaana a Hilikiya, yoowo aaweherya etthoko ya mwene ni sekretaario Xebena,+ ni mulipa-oolepa Yowa, mwaana a Asafi, yaahikhumela ota wiira yakumane naawo.

19 Vano, Rabisake aahaahimeerya wiira: “Xontte, mwamuhimeerye Ezekiya wiira: ‘Enihimya awe mwene muulupale, mwene a wAsiiria, tiila: “Munroromela-ni?+ 20 Nyuwo munihimya wiira: ‘Kinnisuwela owana ekhotto ni kookhalana atoropa anwerya owana ekhotto’, masi awo moolumo eethiru. Ti pani munimuroromela anyu oniwiirihani okivirikanya?+ 21 Nyuwo muniroromela okhaliheriwa ni mutathi woophaawa, eyo piiyo, atthu a wExiitu,+ mutathi yoowo onihoma ni onithorola ntata na mutthu onivarelela. Eyo ti etthu Farawo, mwene a wExiitu, oniwiirela awe atthu ootheene animuroromela. 22 Nyuwo mwakileela wiira: ‘Hiyo nimmuroromela Yehova, Muluku ahu’,+ Muluku owo khonrowa wookhaliheryani. Ezekiya aahooleelani wiira mwaamala-malihe altaari a Muluku anyu ni mapuro onikokhoreliwa awe.+ Nave aahaaleela atthu anikhala oYuda ni oYerusalemu, wiira akokhoreke paahi ohoolo wa altaari ori oYerusalemu’”.+ 23 Vano, mpake nivarihano ni pwiya aka, mwene a wAsiiria: Kinimoovahani ikhavalo 2.000, vakhala wiira munimwaaphwanya atthu aniphiyerya wiira yeettihe ikhavalo iyo.+ 24 Nyuwo muniroromela ovahiwa ikaaro sa ekhotto ni ovahiwa anakhavalo a wExiitu. Niireke munoowerya omuxintta kuvernatoro mwaamukhaanixa, yoowo ori murumeyi a pwiya aka? 25 Kiireke kinituphela opuro ola kihirummwale ni Yehova wiira kipwetexe? Mwaneene Yehova ookileela wiira: ‘Murowe elapo eyo, mwapwetexe’”.

26 Vano, Eliyakiimi mwaana a Hilikiya, ni Xebena+ ni Yowa, yaahimuleela Rabisake+ wiira: “Xontte, mulavuleke ni arumeyi anyu ni nttaava na aramaiko,*+ okhala wiira ninniiwa. Muhilavuleke ni hiyo ni nttaava na ayuda, mwaha wa atthu ari vasulu va ixiri aniiwa”.+ 27 Masi Rabisake aahiwaakhula oriki: “Kiireke pwiya aka okirumme omuleela moolumo ala pwiya anyu ni nyuwo paahi? Kiira ookiruma-tho waaleela alopwana ari vasulu va ixiri, yaawo anrowa olya mavi aya ni owurya miyoso saya, vamosa ni nyuwo?”

28 Vano Rabisake aaheemela, onakhuwela olavulaka nttaava na ayuda, ohimyaka wiira: “Mwiiwe moolumo a mwene muulupale, mwene a wAsiiria.+ 29 Enihimya awe mwene tiila: ‘Muhiwokiwe ni Ezekiya, okhala wiira owo khonwerya owoopolani mmatatani mwaka.+ 30 Nave muhimuhiye Ezekiya owiirihakani omuroromela Yehova, oriki: “Yehova onoonoopola tthiri, nave epooma ela khenrowa ovahereriwa mmatatani mwa mwene a wAsiiria”.+ 31 Muhinwiriyane Ezekiya, okhala wiira mwene a wAsiiria onihimya wiira: “Mwaataane ni miyo, nave mwiivahererye.* Nto khula mmosa a nyuwo onimoolya mihokorokho sawe sa ewuuva, mihokorokho sawe sa mwiri wa efiiku, nave onoowurya maasi a ehime* awe, 32 mpakha miyo orwa ni wooroihani elapo enlikana ni elapo anyu,+ elapo yeeyo eniruwerya etiriku, esevaata ni ewuuva, erina miri sa olivera ni oravo. Vano nyuwo munookhala akumi ni khamunrowa okhwa. Muhinwiriyane Ezekiya, okhala wiira owo onnoowokani ohimyaka wiira: ‘Yehova onoonoopola’. 33 Niireke amuluku a maloko makina aawerya woopola elapo aya, mmatatani mwa mwene a wAsiiria? 34 Ari vai amuluku a oHamati+ ni a wArpadi? Ari vai amuluku a oSefarvayimi,+ a oHena, ni a wIva? Niireke awo aawerya woopola oSamariya mmatatani mwaka?+ 35 Eriyari ya amuluku ootheene a ilapo iyo, niireke ookhala owenrye woopola elapo awe mmatatani mwaka? Nto niireke Yehova onoowerya woopola oYerusalemu mmatatani mwaka?”’”+

36 Masi atthu yaahimaala ni khiyaamwaakhunle etthu, maana mwene aahaaruma wiira: “Muhimwaakhule etthu”.+ 37 Vano, Eliyakiimi, mwaana a Hilikiya, yoowo aaweherya etthoko ya mwene, ni sekretaario Xebena, ni mulipa-oolepa Yowa, mwaana a Asafi, yaahirowa wa Ezekiya akhenre ene ikuwo saya, anamuleela moolumo a Rabisake.
