Hezekiya ku muryango w'urupfu

Abwiwe na Data wa twese ko atazakira, Hezekiya ahindukiza mu maso ku rukuta araririra. Yongererwa imyaka cumi n'itanu, kandi igicucu cy'izuba kigasubira inyuma nk'ikimenyetso. Isengesho rye yanditse ntiryoroshya ubwoba bwo gupfa, kandi risozwa amenye ko abazima ari bo bamusingiza.

Igice cya 38.

Muri iyo minsi Hezekiya ararwara indwara y'urupfu. Umuhanuzi Ezayi mwene Amotsi araza aho ari, aramubwira ati: “Uku ni ko Data wa twese avuga: Tunganya inzu yawe, kuko ugiye gupfa; ntuzakira.”

Nuko Hezekiya ahindukiza mu maso ajya ku rukuta, asenga Data wa twese, aravuga ati: “Ndakwinginze Data, uzirikana uko nagenje imbere yawe mu budahemuka, mfite umutima wanjye wose, nkora ibyiza mu maso yawe.” Hezekiya ararira cyane.

Nuko ijambo rya Data wa twese riza kuri Ezayi riti:

“Genda ubwire Hezekiya uti: ‘Uku ni ko Data wa twese avuga, Data wa sekuruza wawe Dawidi: Numvise isengesho ryawe, mbona n'amarira yawe. Dore ngiye kongera imyaka cumi n'itanu ku bugingo bwawe.’ Nzakurokora wowe n'uyu mujyi mu maboko y'umwami wa Ashūru, kandi nzarengera uyu mujyi.

“Iki ni cyo kimenyetso cyawe kivuye kuri Data wa twese, ko azakora ibyo yasezeranye: Dore ngiye gusubiza inyuma igicucu intambwe cumi izuba ryamanukiyeho ku ngazi za Ahazi.” Nuko izuba risubira inyuma intambwe cumi ryari ryaramanukiyeho.

Inyandiko ya Hezekiya umwami wa Yuda, nyuma y'uko yararwaye agakira: Nagize nti: “Hagati mu minsi yanjye ngomba kunyura mu marembo y'ikuzimu; nambuwe imyaka yanjye isigaye.” Nagize nti: “Sinzabona Data wa twese ubwe mu gihugu cy'abazima; sinzongera kureba abantu, mu batuye iyi si ishira. Icumbi cyanjye gikuwe kandi gitwawe kinkurwaho nk'ihema ry'umushumba. Nazinze ubugingo bwanjye nk'umuboshyi; arankata avana ku rubambo; kuva ku manywa kugeza nijoro, uranshyiraho iherezo. Nategereje nituje kugeza mu gitondo, ariko nk'intare amena amagufwa yanjye yose; kuva ku manywa kugeza nijoro, uranshyiraho iherezo. Nk'intashya cyangwa umusambi ndataka; ndaboroga nk'inuma. Amaso yanjye ananiwe, ndeba hejuru. Nyagasani Data, ndahanzwe; unyishingire umutekano!” Navuga iki? Yarambwiye, kandi ni we ubwe wabikoze. Nzagenda buhoro buhoro mu myaka yanjye yose, kubera ishavu ry'umutima wanjye. Nyagasani Data, abantu babaho kubera ibintu nk'ibyo, kandi muri byo byose ni mo hari ubugingo bwa roho yanjye. Nuko unsubize ubuzima bwiza, undeke mbeho! Koko rero nababajwe ubwo bukana kugira ngo mberwe neza. Mu rukundo rwawe wakijije ubugingo bwanjye, ubukura mu cyobo cy'irimbuka, kuko wajugunye ibyaha byanjye byose inyuma yawe. Kuko ikuzimu idashobora kugusingiza; urupfu ntirushobora kukuririmbira. Abamanukira mu cyobo ntibashobora kwiringira ubudahemuka bwawe. Abazima, abazima—ni bo bagusingiza, nk'uko mbigira uyu munsi; umubyeyi amenyesha abana ubudahemuka bwawe. Data wa twese azankiza, kandi tuzacuranga indirimbo zanjye ku nanga iminsi yose y'ubuzima bwacu, mu nzu ya Data wa twese.

Ezayi yari yaravuze ati: “Nibafate agatsima k'imbuto z'imitini, bakagashyira ku gisebe, maze azakira.” Hezekiya yari yabajije ati: “Ni iki kimenyetso cy'uko nzazamuka njya mu nzu ya Data wa twese?”
