Data wa twese aratega ugutwi akavura Hezekiya

Abwiwe gutunganya urugo rwiwe, Hezekiya ahindukira ku rusika asaba Data kwibuka ingene yagenze. Yongerwako imyaka cumi n'itanu, igicucu gisubira inyuma kikaba ikimenyamenya. Hanyuma yereka intumwa za Babuloni itunga ryose afise, akumva ko vyose bizojanwa iyo.

Igice 20.

Muri iyo misi Hezekiya yararwaye bikomeye ari hafi gupfa. Umuhanuzi Yesaya mwene Amotsi aramugendera, aramubwira ati: “Ibi ni vyo Data wa twese avuga: Tegura ivyo mu rugo rwawe, kuko uzopfa ntuzokira.”

Maze Hezekiya ahindukiza mu maso hiwe ku ruhome, asengera Data wa twese ati: “Data, wibuke ingene nagendeye imbere yawe ndi umunyakuri, mfise umutima utagabanye, nkora ivyiza mu maso yawe.” Nuko Hezekiya ararira cane.

Imbere y’uko Yesaya asohoka hagati y’ikibuga, ijambo rya Data wa twese riramushikira riti:

“Garuka ubwire Hezekiya umutware w’abantu banje uti: Data wawe, Imana ya so wawe Dawidi, avuga ati: Numvise isengesho ryawe, mbonye n’amosozi yawe. Nzogukiza. Ku musi ugira gatatu uzoduga ku nzu yanje. Nzokwongereza imyaka cumi n’itanu ku buzima bwawe, nkize wewe n’iki gisagara mu kuboko kw’umwami w’Ashuri, kandi nzokingira iki gisagara ku bwanje n’umusavyi wanje Dawidi.”

Yesaya aravuga ati: “Zana igikate c’imitini.” Barakizana, bagishira ku gisebe, nuko arakira.

Hezekiya abaza Yesaya ati: “Ikimenyetso c’uko Data wa twese azonkiza nkongera nkaduga ku nzu ya Data wa twese ku musi ugira gatatu ni ikihe?”

Yesaya aramwishura ati: “Iki ni co kimenyetso cawe kivuye kwa Data wa twese c’uko Data wa twese azokwuzuza ivyo yasezeranye: Igitutu kizoja imbere intambuko cumi, canke kigaruke inyuma intambuko cumi?”

Hezekiya aramwishura ati: “Ni ikivugutu ku gitutu kugororoka intambuko cumi; oya, nikigaruke inyuma intambuko cumi.”

Nuko umuhanuzi Yesaya atakambira Data wa twese, aca agarura igitutu inyuma intambuko cumi cari camaze gumanuka ku ngazi za Ahazi.

Hezekiya yakira intumwa z’i Babiloni

Muri ico gihe Berodaki-Baladani mwene Baladani, umwami w’i Babiloni, arungikira Hezekiya amakete n’ingabirano, kuko yari yumvise ko yari yararwaye. Hezekiya arabakira, abereka inzu yiwe yose y’amatunga: ifeza, inzahabu, imibavu, amavuta meza, ububiko bwiwe bwose bw’ibirwanisho, na vyose vyari mu mazu yiwe y’ububiko. Nta na kimwe cari mu nzu yiwe y’ubwami canke mu bwami bwiwe bwose Hezekiya atabereka.

Umuhanuzi Yesaya aja ku mwami Hezekiya, aramubaza ati: “Abo bantu bavuze iki, kandi bavuye hehe?” Hezekiya ati: “Bavuye mu gihugu ca kure, i Babiloni.”

Yesaya aramubaza ati: “Babonye iki mu nzu yawe y’ubwami?” Hezekiya aramwishura ati: “Vyose vyari mu nzu yanje y’ubwami. Nta na kimwe mu matunga yanje ntababereye.”

Maze Yesaya abwira Hezekiya ati: “Numva ijambo rya Data wa twese:

Hariho imisi iriko iraza vyose vyari mu nzu yawe y’ubwami, ivyo ba sokuru bawe bose bagumbikije gushika ubu, bizojanwa i Babiloni. Nta na kimwe kizosigara, ni ko Data wa twese avuga. Bamwe mu bana bawe nyene, abuzukuruza bawe, bazojanwa gukora nk’inkoramutima mu nzu y’umwami w’i Babiloni.”

Hezekiya aravuga ati: “Ijambo rya Data wa twese uvuze ni ryiza,” kuko yiyumvira ati: “Mbega nta mahoro n’umutekano bizoba mu misi yanje?”

Ibindi bikorwa vya Hezekiya, ububasha bwiwe bwose, n’ingene yakoze iyoga n’umwobo wo kuzana amazi mu gisagara, mbega ntivyanditswe mu gitabu c’ivyabaye vy’abami b’i Yuda? Nuko Hezekiya aruhukana na ba sekuruza biwe, maze Manase umuhungu wiwe aba umwami mu kibanza ciwe.
