Asiria Ba Bɛko Tia Yuda
13Ɔhene Hesekia adedi afe a ɛtɔ so dunan mu no, Asiria hene Senakerib tow hyɛɛ Yuda nkurow a wɔabɔ ho ban nyinaa so, na ɔfaa wɔn. 14Afei Yuda hene Hesekia soma kɔɔ Asiria hene nkyɛn wɔ Lakis se, “Mayɛ bɔne; twe wo ho fi me so, na nea wobɛhyɛ me biara no, mɛtua.” Asiria hene hyɛɛ Yuda hene Hesekia sɛ ɔntua dwetɛ bɛyɛ ton dubaako ne sika kɔkɔɔ ton baako. 15Hesekia de dwetɛ a wohuu wɔ yɛn Agya fi ne ahemfi adekoradan mu no nyinaa maa no. 16Saa bere no, Hesekia worɔw sika kɔkɔɔ a Yuda hene Hesekia de duraa yɛn Agya asɔrefi apon ne apon nnyinaso no, na ɔde maa Asiria hene.
17Asiria hene somaa nʼasahene panyin, nʼadwumayɛfo panyin ne nʼasahene a ɔwɔ asraafo so no ne asraafo bebree fi Lakis kɔɔ Ɔhene Hesekia nkyɛn wɔ Yerusalem. Wɔforo baa Yerusalem, na wɔbɛgyinaa atare a ɛwɔ soro no nsuka ho, ɔkwan a ɛkɔ Ntomasifo Afuw no so. 18Wɔfrɛɛ ɔhene no, na Hilkia ba Eliakim a ɔhwɛ ahemfi so no, ne ɔkyerɛwfo Sebna ne Asaf ba Yoa a ɔyɛ abakɔsɛm kyerɛwfo no fi adi baa wɔn nkyɛn. 19Asahene no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monka nkyerɛ Hesekia se: Ɔhene kɛse, Asiria hene, se: Ahotoso bɛn na wode wo ho ato so yi? 20Woka se: wowɔ nhyehyɛe ne ahoɔden ma ɔko—ɛyɛ ano kasa kɛkɛ. Afei, hena na wode wo ho ato no so a enti woatew me so atua? 21Hwɛ, wode wo ho ato Misraim so, saa demmire poma a apaapae a ɛwɔ obiara a ɔtweri so no nsa mu no. Saa ara na Misraim hene Farao te ma wɔn a wɔde wɔn ho to no so nyinaa. 22Nanso sɛ moka se, ‘Yɛde yɛn ho to Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn so’ a, ɛnyɛ ɔno na Hesekia sɛee ne sorɔnsorɔmmea ne nʼafɔremuka, na ɔka kyerɛɛ Yuda ne Yerusalem se, ‘Monsom wɔ afɔremuka yi anim wɔ Yerusalem’ ana? 23Ne me wura Asiria hene nto kyɛ: sɛ wubetumi anya nnipa atena apɔnkɔ so a, mede apɔnkɔ mpem abien bɛma wo. 24Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na wobɛpam me wura nkoa a wɔba fam koraa no mu ɔsahene baako, bere a wode wo ho ato Misraim so sɛ ɛbɛma wo nteaseɛnam ne apɔnkɔsotefo? 25So mefoo baa beae yi sɛ merebɛsɛe no a Awurade nni mu? Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se: Foro kɔ asase yi so, na kɔsɛe no.”
26Hilkia ba Eliakim, Sebna ne Yoa ka kyerɛɛ asahene no se, “Yɛsrɛ wo, ka Aramek kasa kyerɛ yɛn wo nkoa, efisɛ yɛte ase. Nka Hebri kasa, bere a nnipa a wɔwɔ ɔfasu no so no retie.”
27Asahene no buaa se, “So me wura somaa me sɛ menka eyi nkyerɛ mo wura ne mo nko, na ɛnyɛ mmarima a wɔte ɔfasu no so no, wɔn a wɔne mo bedi wɔn ankasa ayan na wɔanom wɔn dwonsɔ no?”
28Afei asahene no sɔre gyinaa hɔ, na ɔde nne kɛse teɛɛm wɔ Hebri kasa mu se: “Montie ɔhene kɛse, Asiria hene, asɛm! 29Ɔhene no se: Mommma Hesekia nnaadaa mo, efisɛ ontumi nnye mo mfi ne nsa mu. 30Mommma Hesekia mma mo mfa mo ho nto Awurade so, sɛ ɔka se, ‘Ampa ara Awurade begye yɛn; wɔremfa kurow yi nhyɛ Asiria hene nsa.’ 31Muntie Hesekia. Asiria hene se: mo ne me mmɔ asomdwoe, na mumfi adi mmra me nkyɛn—na mo mu biara bedi ne bobe ne ne borɔdɔma dua so aba, na wanom ne abura mu nsu, 32kosi sɛ mɛba abɛfa mo akɔ asase a ɛte sɛ mo de no so—atoko, nsa foforo, aduan, bobe nturo, ngo nnua ne ɛwo asase—na moatena ase, na moanwuwu.

36Nanso nnipa no yɛɛ komm, na wɔammua no asɛm biara, efisɛ ɔhene no ahyɛ se, “Mommua no.” 37Hilkia ba Eliakim a ɔhwɛ ahemfi so, ɔkyerɛwfo Sebna ne Asaf ba Yoa a ɔyɛ abakɔsɛm kyerɛwfo no baa Hesekia nkyɛn a wɔasunsuan wɔn ntade, na wɔbɔɔ no asahene no nsɛm no amanneɛ.
