2 Mafumu 20 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

20 ¹M'masiku amenewo Hezekiya anadwala natsala pang'ono kufa. Mneneri Yesaya mwana wa Amozi anadza, nati, “Atate wathu akunena motere: Konza bwino nyumba yako; udzafa, sudzakhala ndi moyo.”

²Ndipo Hezekiya anatembenuzira nkhope yake ku khoma, napemphera kwa Atate wathu: ³“Atate, kumbukirani mmene ndayendera pamaso panu mokhulupirika, ndi mtima wonse, nachita zabwino pamaso panu.” Ndipo Hezekiya analira kwambiri.

⁴Yesaya asanatuluke pa bwalo lapakati, mau a Atate wathu anafika kwa iye, nati:

⁵“Bwerera ukamuuze Hezekiya, mtsogoleri wa anthu anga, kuti: ‘Atate wako, Mulungu wa atate wako Davide, akunena kuti: Ndamva pemphero lako ndipo ndaona misozi yako. Ndidzakuchiritsa. Pa tsiku lachitatu udzakwera kupita ku nyumba yanga. ⁶Ndidzawonjezera zaka khumi ndi zisanu pa moyo wako, ndipo ndidzakupulumutsa iwe ndi mzinda uwu m'manja mwa mfumu ya ku Asuri, ndipo ndidzauteteza mzinda uwu chifukwa cha Ine ndi chifukwa cha mtumiki wanga Davide.’”

⁷Yesaya anati, “Bweretsani mkate wa nkhuyu.” Iwo anabweretsa, naika pa chithupsa, ndipo anachira.

⁸Hezekiya anafunsa Yesaya, nati, “Kodi chizindikiro n'chiyani chakuti Atate wathu adzandichiritsa ndipo ndidzakwera kupita ku nyumba ya Atate wathu pa tsiku lachitatu?”

⁹Yesaya anati, “Ichi ndicho chizindikiro chako chochokera kwa Atate wathu chosonyeza kuti Atate wathu adzakwaniritsa lonjezo lawo: kodi mthunzi udzapita patsogolo masitepe khumi, kapena udzabwerera masitepe khumi?”

¹⁰Hezekiya anayankha nati, “N'chophweka kuti mthunzi uwonjezeke masitepe khumi; ayi, ubwerere masitepe khumi.”

¹¹Ndipo mneneri Yesaya anaitana kwa Atate wathu, ndipo anabweza mthunzi masitepe khumi amene unali utatsika pa makwerero a Ahazi.

Hezekiya Alandira Amithenga a ku Babeloni

¹²Pa nthawi imeneyo Berodaki-baladani mwana wa Baladani, mfumu ya ku Babeloni, anatumiza makalata ndi mphatso kwa Hezekiya, popeza anamva kuti Hezekiya anadwala. ¹³Hezekiya anawalandira, nawaonetsa nyumba yake yonse ya chuma: siliva, golide, zonunkhiritsa, mafuta abwino, nyumba yake yonse ya zida za nkhondo, ndi zonse zimene zinali m'nyumba zake zosungiramo. Panalibe chinthu m'nyumba yake yaufumu kapena mu ufumu wake wonse chimene Hezekiya sanawaonetse.

¹⁴Yesaya mneneri anadza kwa mfumu Hezekiya, namufunsa, nati, “Kodi anthu awa ananena chiyani, ndipo anachokera kuti?” Hezekiya anati, “Achokera ku dziko lakutali, ku Babeloni.”

¹⁵“Kodi anaona chiyani m'nyumba yako yaufumu?” anafunsa Yesaya. “Zinthu zonse zili m'nyumba yanga yaufumu,” anayankha Hezekiya. “Palibe chinthu m'chuma changa chimene sindinawaonetse.”

¹⁶Ndipo Yesaya anati kwa Hezekiya, “Imva mau a Atate wathu:

¹⁷Masiku akubwera pamene zinthu zonse zimene zili m'nyumba yako yaufumu, zonse zimene makolo ako anasunga mpaka lero, zidzatengedwa kupita ku Babeloni. Palibe chimene chidzatsala, ati Atate wathu. ¹⁸Ena mwa ana ako omwe, mbumba yako, adzatengedwa kuti akhale adindo ofulidwa m'nyumba yaufumu ya mfumu ya ku Babeloni.”

¹⁹“Mau a Atate wathu amene mwayankhula ndi abwino,” anatero Hezekiya, poganiza kuti, “Kodi sipadzakhala mtendere ndi chitetezo m'masiku anga?”

²⁰Ntchito zina za Hezekiya, mphamvu zake zonse, ndi mmene anapangira dziwe ndi ngalande kuti abweretse madzi mu mzinda—kodi sizinalembedwe m'buku la mbiri ya mafumu a Yuda? ²¹Ndipo Hezekiya anagona ndi makolo ake, ndipo Manase mwana wake analowa ufumu m'malo mwake.
