Nta na kimwe cari mu nzu yiwe canke mu bwami bwiwe Hezekiya atabereka. 3Nuko Yesaya umuhanuzi araza ku mwami Hezekiya, aramubaza ati: “Abo bantu bavuze iki, kandi bavuye hehe?” Hezekiya ati: “Bavuye mu gihugu kure, bavuye i Babiloni.”
4Aramubaza ati: “Babonye iki mu nzu yawe?” Hezekiya arishura ati: “Babonye ibintu vyose vyari mu nzu yanje. Nta na kimwe cari mu bibiko vyanje ntabereka.”
