Hezekiya pa Khomo la Imfa
Atauzidwa ndi Atate wathu kuti sadzachira, Hezekiya akutembenuzira nkhope yake kukhoma ndi kulira. Akuwonjezeredwa zaka khumi ndi zisanu, ndipo mthunzi wa dzuwa ukubwerera m'mbuyo ngati umboni. Pemphero lake lolembedwa silibisa kanthu za mantha a imfa, ndipo likutha podziwa kuti amoyo ndiwo amamutamanda.
38 1M'masiku amenewo Hezekiya anadwala matenda oopsa woti nkufa. Mneneri Yesaya mwana wa Amozi anadza kwa iye, nati, “Atate wathu akuti: Konza bwino za m'nyumba mwako, pakuti udzafa; sudzachira.”
2Pamenepo Hezekiya anatembenuzira nkhope yake ku khoma, napemphera kwa Atate wathu, 3nati, “Chonde, Atate wanga, kumbukirani mmene ndinayendera pamaso panu mokhulupirika ndi mtima wonse, ndi kuchita zabwino pamaso panu.” Ndipo Hezekiya analira kwambiri mwachisoni.
4Ndipo mau a Atate wathu anafika kwa Yesaya, kuti:
5“Pita ukauze Hezekiya kuti, ‘Atate wathu, Atate wa kholo lako Davide, akuti: Ndamva pemphero lako ndipo ndaona misozi yako. Ndikuwonjezera zaka khumi ndi zisanu pa moyo wako.’ 6Ndidzakupulumutsa iwe pamodzi ndi mzinda uwu m'dzanja la mfumu ya Asuri; ndidzawuteteza mzinda uwu.
7“Ichi ndiye chizindikiro chako chochokera kwa Atate wathu chakuti adzachita zimene walonjeza: 8“Taona, ndidzabwezera m'mbuyo mthunzi masitepe khumi amene dzuwa latsika nawo pa makwerero a Ahazi.” Ndipo dzuwa linabwerera m'mbuyo masitepe khumi amene linali litatsika.
9Zolembedwa za Hezekiya mfumu ya Yuda, pambuyo pa kudwala kwake ndi kuchira kwake: 10Ndinati, “Pakati pa masiku anga ndiyenera kudutsa pa zipata za manda; ndalandidwa zaka zanga zotsalira.” 11Ndinati, “Sindidzaona Atate wathu mwini m'dziko la amoyo; sindidzaonanso anthu, pakati pa iwo okhala m'dziko lopita ili. 12Malo anga okhala azulidwa ndi kuchotsedwa kwa ine ngati tenti ya m'busa. Ndapinda moyo wanga ngati wowomba nsalu; Iye akundidula kuchoka pa chowombera nsalu; kuyambira usana mpaka usiku mumandithetsa. 13Ndinadikira mwakachetechete kufikira m'mawa, koma ngati mkango amathyola mafupa anga onse; kuyambira usana mpaka usiku mumandithetsa. 14Ngati namzeze kapena korongo ndikulira; ndikubuula ngati nkhunda. Maso anga atopa ndi kuyang'ana kumwamba. Inu Atate Ambuye, ndapanikizika; khalani chitsimikizo changa cha chitetezo!” 15Kodi ndinene chiyani? Iye wayankhula kwa ine, ndipo Iye mwini wachita zimenezi. Ndidzayenda modekha zaka zanga zonse chifukwa cha kuwawa kwa moyo wanga. 16Inu Atate Ambuye, ndi zinthu zotere anthu amakhala ndi moyo, ndipo mu zonsezi muli moyo wa mzimu wanga. Choncho ndichiritseni ndipo mundikhalitse ndi moyo! 17Zoonadi kuwawa kwakukulu kotere ndinakumana nako chifukwa cha ubwino wanga. Mwachikondi chanu munateteza moyo wanga ku dzenje la chiwonongeko, pakuti machimo anga onse munawaponya kumbuyo kwanu. 18Pakuti manda sangathe kukutamandani; imfa singathe kukuyimbirani matamando. Iwo otsikira ku dzenje sangathe kuyembekezera kukhulupirika kwanu. 19Amoyo, amoyo—iwo amakutamandani, monga ndikuchitira lero; bambo amawadziwitsa ana kukhulupirika kwanu. 20Atate wathu adzandipulumutsa ine, ndipo tidzaimba nyimbo zanga ndi zoimbira za zingwe masiku onse a moyo wathu, m'nyumba ya Atate wathu.
21Yesaya anali atanena kuti, “Atenge keke ya nkhuyu, naiike pa chithupsa, ndipo adzachira.” 22Hezekiya anali atafunsa kuti, “Kodi chizindikiro chake n'chiyani choti ndidzapita kunyumba ya Atate wathu?”
