2 Abami 20 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

20 ¹Muri iyo minsi Hezekiya ararwara, ageze hafi y'urupfu. Umuhanuzi Ezayi mwene Amotsi araza, aramubwira ati: “Ibi ni byo Data wa twese avuga: Tunganya iby'inzu yawe; uzapfa, ntuzabaho.”

²Nuko Hezekiya ahindukiye mu maso he yerekeza ku rukuta, asenga Data wa twese ati: ³“Data, wibuke uko nagendeye imbere yawe ndi indahemuka, mfite umutima wanjye wose, nkora ibyiza mu maso yawe.” Nuko Hezekiya ararira cyane.

⁴Ezayi atarasohoka mu rugo rwo hagati, ijambo rya Data wa twese riramugeraho riti:

⁵“Subira inyuma ubwire Hezekiya, umutware w'ubwoko bwanjye uti: So, Imana ya so Dawidi, aravuga ati: Numvise isengesho ryawe, mbonye n'amarira yawe. Nzagukiza. Ku munsi wa gatatu uzazamuke ujye mu Nzu yanjye. ⁶Nzongera imyaka cumi n'itanu ku buzima bwawe, nkurokore wowe n'uyu murwa mu maboko y'umwami wa Ashuri, kandi nzarengere uyu murwa ku bwanjye no ku bw'umugaragu wanjye Dawidi.”

⁷Ezayi aravuga ati: “Nimuzane agatsima k'imbuto z'imitini.” Barakazana, babishyira ku gisebe, nuko arakira.

⁸Hezekiya abaza Ezayi ati: “Ikimenyetso cy'uko Data wa twese azankiza, nkazamuka ngo njye mu Nzu ya Data wa twese ku munsi wa gatatu, ni ikihe?”

⁹Ezayi aravuga ati: “Iki ni cyo kimenyetso uhabwe na Data wa twese, cy'uko Data wa twese azasohoza icyo yasezeranye: igicucu kizatambuka ingazi cumi gijya imbere, cyangwa gisubire inyuma ingazi cumi?”

¹⁰Hezekiya arasubiza ati: “Ni byoroshye ko igicucu kigenda imbere ingazi cumi; oya, ahubwo nigisubire inyuma ingazi cumi.”

¹¹Nuko umuhanuzi Ezayi aratakambira Data wa twese, maze agarura igicucu inyuma ingazi cumi cyari cyaramanutse ku ngazi za Ahazi.

Hezekiya yakira intumwa z'i Babiloni

¹²Muri icyo gihe Berodaki-Baladani mwene Baladani, umwami wa Babiloni, yumvise ko Hezekiya yararwaye, amwoherereza inzandiko n'ituro. ¹³Hezekiya arabakira, abereka izo ntumwa inzu ye yose y'ubutunzi: ifeza, izahabu, imibavu, n'amavuta meza, n'ububiko bwe bwose bw'intwaro, na byose byari mu mazu ye y'ububiko. Nta na kimwe cyari mu ngoro ye cyangwa mu bwami bwe bwose Hezekiya ataberetse.

¹⁴Umuhanuzi Ezayi aza aho Umwami Hezekiya ari, aramubaza ati: “Aba bantu bavuze iki, kandi baturutse he?” Hezekiya ati: “Baturutse mu gihugu cya kure, i Babiloni.”

¹⁵“Babonye iki mu ngoro yawe?” ni ko Ezayi abaza. “Byose biri mu ngoro yanjye,” ni ko Hezekiya asubiza. “Nta na kimwe mu butunzi bwanjye nataberetse.”

¹⁶Nuko Ezayi abwira Hezekiya ati: “Umva ijambo rya Data wa twese:

¹⁷Dore iminsi iraje ubwo ibintu byose biri mu ngoro yawe, byose ba sogokuruza bawe bahunitse kugeza n'ubu, bizajyanwa i Babiloni. Nta na kimwe kizasigara, ni ko Data wa twese avuga. ¹⁸Bamwe mu bahungu bawe ubwawe, abo uzabyara, bazajyanwa ngo babe inkone mu ngoro y'umwami wa Babiloni.”

¹⁹“Ijambo rya Data wa twese wavuze ni ryiza,” ni ko Hezekiya avuga. Yaribwiraga ati: “Mbese ntihazabaho amahoro n'umutekano mu minsi yanjye?”

²⁰Ibindi bikorwa bya Hezekiya n'ubutwari bwe bwose, n'uko yakoze ikizenga n'umuyoboro byazanaga amazi mu murwa, ntibyanditswe mu gitabo cy'ibikorwa by'abami b'u Buyuda? ²¹Nuko Hezekiya aruhukana na ba sogokuruza be, maze Manase umuhungu we aba umwami mu cyimbo cye.
