32 ¹Nyuma y'ibyo bintu n'ibyo bikorwa byo kwizerwa, Senakeribu umwami wa Ashūru atera Yuda, agota imijyi yayo ikomeye, agamije kuyimenera ngo ayigabire. ²Hezekiya abonye ko Senakeribu yaje, agamije kurwanya Yeruzalemu, ³agisha inama abatware be n'intwari ze yo kuziba amasōko yari hanze y'umujyi, na bo baramufasha. ⁴Abantu benshi baraterana, baraziba amasōko yose n'akagezi katembaga mu gihugu, baravuga bati: “Kuki abami ba Ashūru baza bakabona amazi menshi?”

⁵Akora cyane kugira ngo yongere kubaka ibice byose byari byasenyutse ku rukuta, ayubakaho iminara, yubaka urundi rukuta hanze, akomeza Milo w'umurwa wa Dawidi, akora intwaro nyinshi n'ingabo nyinshi. ^a a v5 Milo wari uburyo bw'ibitaka byarunzwe ku ngazi n'inkuta zifata ubutaka, byubatswe ku rubavu rw'umusozi w'Umurwa wa Dawidi. ⁶Ashyira abatware b'intambara ku bantu, abateranyiriza ku kibuga cy'irembo ry'umujyi, arabashishikariza ati: ⁷“Nimukomere kandi mube intwari. Ntimugatinye cyangwa ngo mucike intege kubera umwami wa Ashūru n'ikivunge cye cyose, kuko abari kumwe natwe ari benshi kurusha abari kumwe na we. ⁸We afite ukuboko kw'umubiri gusa; twebwe turi kumwe na Data wa twese, ngo adufashe kandi aturwanirire.” Abantu bishingikiriza ku magambo ya Hezekiya umwami wa Yuda.

Senakeribu Asuzugura Data wa twese

⁹Nyuma y'ibyo, igihe Senakeribu umwami wa Ashūru yari agose Lakishi n'ingabo ze zose, yohereza abagaragu be i Yeruzalemu, kwa Hezekiya umwami wa Yuda n'Abayuda bose bari aho, ababwira ati: ¹⁰“Senakeribu umwami wa Ashūru aravuga atya ati: Ni iki mwiringiye, mugakomeza kuguma mu mujyi ugoswe i Yeruzalemu? ¹¹Mbese Hezekiya ntababeshya, abagabije gupfa n'inzara n'inyota, ubwo avuga ati: ‘Uhoraho Imana yacu azadukiza ukuboko kw'umwami wa Ashūru’? ¹²Mbese si Hezekiya wakuye ibigabiro bye n'ibicaniro bye, abwira Yuda na Yeruzalemu ngo basenga imbere y'urutambiro rumwe kandi bakarutambiraho ibitambo? ¹³Ntimuzi icyo jye na ba sokuruza twakoreye amahanga yose yo mu bindi bihugu? Mbese ibigirwamana by'ayo mahanga byashoboye gukiza ibihugu byabo mu kuboko kwanjye? ¹⁴Ni iyihe mana yo mu mahanga ba sokuruza barimbuye yashoboye gukiza abantu bayo mu kuboko kwanjye? None se Imana yanyu yabakiza ite mu kuboko kwanjye? ¹⁵None rero Hezekiya ntakabeshye cyangwa ngo abayobye muri ubwo buryo, kandi ntimukamwemere: nta mana y'ihanga iryo ari ryo ryose cyangwa ubwami bwabashije gukiza abantu bayo mu kuboko kwanjye cyangwa ukwa ba sokuruza, none rero ni ukumenya ko Imana yanyu itazabarokora mu kuboko kwanjye!”

¹⁶Abagaragu be baravuga ibindi byinshi barwanya Data wa twese n'umugaragu we Hezekiya. ¹⁷Senakeribu kandi yandika inzandiko zisuzugura Data wa twese, Imana ya Isiraheli, aramurwanya ati: “Ibigirwamana by'amahanga ntibyarokoye abantu babo mu kuboko kwanjye; ni na ko Imana ya Hezekiya itazarokora abantu bayo mu kuboko kwanjye.” ¹⁸Basakuza cyane mu rurimi rw'Abayuda babwira abantu b'i Yeruzalemu bari ku rukuta, kugira ngo babatere ubwoba kandi babahungabanye, bafate umujyi. ¹⁹Bavuga iby'Imana y'i Yeruzalemu nk'ibigirwamana by'amahanga yo mu isi, imirimo y'amaboko y'abantu.

²⁰Nuko Umwami Hezekiya n'umuhanuzi Ezayi mwene Amotsi basengera ibyo, batakambira ijuru. ²¹Nuko Data wa twese yohereza umumarayika wica buri ntwari ikomeye, n'abatware n'abagaba bose bari mu nkambi y'umwami wa Ashūru. Senakeribu asubira iwe akozwe isoni, kandi yinjiye mu ngoro y'imana ye, bamwe mu bana be bamwicira aho n'inkota. ²²Nuko Data wa twese arokora Hezekiya n'abantu b'i Yeruzalemu mu kuboko kwa Senakeribu umwami wa Ashūru n'ukw'abandi bose, arabitaho impande zose. ²³Benshi bazanira Data wa twese amaturo i Yeruzalemu, bazanira na Hezekiya umwami wa Yuda ibintu by'agaciro; nyuma y'ibyo amahanga yose yubaha Hezekiya cyane.

Indwara ya Hezekiya, Ubwirasi bwe n'Ubukungu bwe

²⁴Muri iyo minsi Hezekiya ararwara aba hafi gupfa; asenga Data wa twese, aramusubiza, amuha ikimenyetso. ²⁵Ariko Hezekiya ntiyitura ineza yagiriwe; umutima we urirata, bituma uburakari bumugeraho we na Yuda na Yeruzalemu. ²⁶Hezekiya yicisha bugufi kubera ubwirasi bw'umutima we, we n'abantu b'i Yeruzalemu, bituma uburakari bwa Data wa twese butabageraho mu minsi ya Hezekiya.

²⁷Hezekiya yari afite ubukungu bwinshi n'icyubahiro. Yubaka amazu y'ububiko bw'ifeza n'izahabu n'amabuye y'agaciro, n'imibavu n'ingabo n'ibindi bintu by'agaciro, ²⁸amazu y'ububiko bw'imyaka yasaruwe, divayi nshya n'amavuta; n'ibiraro by'amoko yose y'amatungo; n'uruhongore rw'imikumbi. ²⁹Yiyubakira imijyi, aronka imikumbi myinshi n'amashyo menshi, kuko Data wa twese yamuhaye ubukungu bwinshi cyane. ³⁰Hezekiya araziba aho amazi ya Gihoni yasohokaga hejuru, ayobora ayo mazi kujya munsi mu ruhande rw'iburengerazuba rw'umurwa wa Dawidi. Yagize intsinzi muri byose yakoraga. ³¹Igihe abatware b'i Babiloni bamutumiragaho intumwa bamubaza iby'ikimenyetso cyabereye mu gihugu, Data wa twese aramureka ngo yigenge, kugira ngo amugerageze amenye ibiri mu mutima we byose.

³²Ibindi bikorwa bya Hezekiya n'imirimo ye yo kwizerwa byanditswe mu iyerekwa ry'umuhanuzi Ezayi mwene Amotsi, mu Gitabo cy'Abami ba Yuda na Isiraheli. ³³Hezekiya aryama iruhande rwa ba sekuruza, bamuhamba mu mva zo hejuru z'abana ba Dawidi. Yuda yose n'abatuye i Yeruzalemu baramwubaha igihe yapfaga. Umuhungu we Manase amusimbura.
