Hezekiya ari hafi y’urupfu

Amaze kubwirwa na Data wacu ko atazokira, Hezekiya ahindukira akaraba ku ruhome, ararira. Yongerwako imyaka cumi n'itanu, kandi igicucu c'izuba gisubira inyuma kiba ikimenyamenya. Isengesho yanditse ntirihisha ubwoba bwo gupfa, kandi riheza ryizi ko abazima ari bo bamushemeza.

Igice 38.

Muri iyo misi Hezekiya yararwaye indwara y’urupfu. Umuhanuzi Yesaya mwene Amotsi aramuzako aramubwira ati: “Ni ku kuntu Data wa twese avuga: Nutunganya urugo rwawe, kuko ugiye gupfa; ntuzokira.”

Maze Hezekiya ahindukiza mu maso hiwe aheba ku ruhome, asenga Data wa twese, aravuga ati: “Ndakwinginze, Data, ibuka ukuntu nagenze ndi uwizigirwa imbere yawe, mfise umutima ukwiye, kandi nagize ivyiza mu maso yawe.” Nuko Hezekiya ararira cane.

Maze ijambo rya Data wa twese riza kuri Yesaya, riti:

“Genda ubwire Hezekiya uti: ‘Ni ku kuntu Data wa twese avuga, Data wa sokuruza Dawidi: Numvise isengesho ryawe kandi mbonye amosozi yawe. Ndiko nkongerako imyaka cumi n’itanu ku buzima bwawe.’ Nzogukiza wewe n’ico gisagara mu maboko y’umwami wa Ashuri; nzokingira ico gisagara.

“Iki ni co kimenyetso cawe kivuye kuri Data wa twese yuko azokora ivyo yasezeranye: Raba, nzosubiza inyuma igitutu intambwe cumi izuba ryamanukako ku madaraja ya Ahazi.” Nuko izuba risubira inyuma intambwe cumi ryari ryamanukako.

Icanditswe ca Hezekiya umwami wa Yuda, inyuma y’uko yararwaye agakira: Navuze nti: “Hagati mu misi yanje ntegerezwa kuca mu marembo y’imva; namburiwe iyindi myaka yari isigaye.” Navuze nti: “Sinzobona Data wa twese ubwiwe mu gihugu c’abazima; sinzosubira kuraba abantu, mu bo baba muri iyi si ihita. Uburaro bwanje bwarangiwe bujanwa kure yanje nk’ihema ry’umwungere. Nazinze ubuzima bwanje nk’uwuboha; arancaga ku rutambo; kuva ku musi gushika mw’ijoro uranshikana ku mperuka. Narindiriye ntekanye gushika mu gitondo, ariko nk’intambwe amenagura amagufa yanje yose; kuva ku musi gushika mw’ijoro uranshikana ku mperuka. Nk’akanyoni coba canke nk’inderi ndavuza; ndaniha nk’inuma. Amaso yanje ararushe kuraba hejuru. Ewe Data Segaba, ndahanzwe; ngira intahe yo kurokoka kwanje!” Novuga iki? Yaravuganye nanje, kandi ni we ubwiwe yabikoze. Nzogenda buhoro imyaka yanje yose kubera ubushavu bw’umutima wanje. Ewe Data Segaba, ni ivyo bintu abantu babaho, kandi muri vyose harimwo ubuzima bw’umutima wanje. Nuko unkize ngasubire gukomera, undeke mbeho! Ni ukuri vyari ku neza yanje bwite yuko nababajwe gutyo. Mu rukundo rwawe wakumiriye ubuzima bwanje ngo ntibube mw’icobo c’uguhonywa, kuko waterereye inyuma yawe ivyaha vyanje vyose. Kuko imva idashobora kugushemeza; urupfu ntirushobora kuririmba ishemezo ryawe. Abamanuka mw’icobo ntibashobora kwizigira ubwizigirwa bwawe. Abazima, abazima—ni bo bagushemeza, nk’uko nanje mbigira uno musi; se w’abana amenyesha abana ubwizigirwa bwawe. Data wa twese azonkiza, nuko tuzovuza indirimbo zanje ku vyuma vy’imirya imisi yose y’ubuzima bwacu, mu nzu ya Data wa twese.

Yesaya yari yavuze ati: “Nibafate igikembe c’insukoni, bagishire ku rushika, nuko azokira.” Hezekiya na we yari yabajije ati: “Ni ikihe kimenyetso yuko nzoduga mu nzu ya Data wa twese?”
