Isahluko 19

Kwathi, akukuva oko ukumkani uHezekiya, wazikrazula iingubo zakhe, wazigquma ngezirhwexayo, wangena endlwini kaYehova.
2 Wathuma uEliyakim umphathi wendlu, noShebhena umbhali, namadoda amakhulu ababingeleli, ezigubungele ngezirhwexayo, kuIsaya umprofeti, unyana ka-Amotse.
3 Bathi kuye, Utsho uHezekiya ukuthi, Le mini yimini yembandezelo, neyokohlwaywa, neyogibo; ngokuba abantwana baze kufika emlonyeni wesizalo, tu ke amandla okuzala.
4 Mhlawumbi uYehova uThixo wakho angaweva onke amazwi kaRabheshake, othunywe ngukumkani waseAsiriya inkosi yakhe, ukungcikiva uThixo ophilileyo; amohlwaye ngenxa yamazwi lawo awavileyo uYehova uThixo wakho. Nyusa ke umthandazo ngenxa yamaqongqolo asekhoyo.
5 Baya ke abakhonzi bokumkani uHezekiya kuIsaya.
6 Wathi uIsaya kubo, Notsho kwinkosi yenu ukuthi, Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Musa ukuwoyika amazwi owavileyo, abandinyelise ngawo abafana bokumkani waseAsiriya.
7 Yabona, ndimfaka umoya, ukuba eve udaba olubi, abuye ke aye ezweni lakhe, ndimwise ngekrele ezweni lakhe.
8 Wabuya ke uRabheshake, wamfumana ukumkani waseAsiriya esilwa neLibhena; ngokuba ebevile ukuba undulukile eLakishe.
9 Weva kusithiwa ngoTiraka, ukumkani wakwaKushi, Nanko ephuma eza kulwa nawe. Wabuya wathumela abathunywa kuHezekiya, esithi,
10 Notsho kuHezekiya, ukumkani wakwaYuda, ukuthi, Musa ukulukuhlwa nguThixo wakho, okholose ngaye wena, usithi, Ayisayi kunikelwa iYerusalem esandleni sokumkani waseAsiriya.
11 Uyabona, ukuvile wena oko bakwenzayo ookumkani baseAsiriya kumazwe onke, ukuba bawaphanzisa. Uya kuhlangulwa na ke wena?
12 Oothixo beentlanga bazihlangula na ke ezo zatshatyalaliswa ngoobawo: iGozan, neHaran, neRetsefe, nabase-Eden ababeseTelasare?
13 Uphi na ukumkani weHamati, nokumkani weArpadi, nokumkani womzi waseSefarvayim, neHena, neIva?
14 Wawathabatha uHezekiya amaphepha eencwadi ezandleni zabathunywa, wawalesa; wenyuka waya endlwini kaYehova, wawaneka uHezekiya phambi koYehova.
15 Wathandaza uHezekiya phambi koYehova, wathi, Yehova, Thixo wakwaSirayeli, uhleli wena phakathi kweekerubhi, unguye uThixo wena wedwa kwizikumkani zonke zehlabathi; wena uwenzile amazulu nehlabathi.
16 Thoba indlebe yakho, Yehova, uve; vula amehlo akho, Yehova, ubone; uweve amazwi kaSaneribhe, othume ukungcikiva ngawo uThixo ophilileyo.
17 Okunene, Yehova, ookumkani baseAsiriya bazichithile iintlanga namazwe azo,
18 babanikela oothixo bazo emlilweni, kuba babengethixo, babengumsebenzi wezandla zomntu, umthi nelitye; babatshababalisa ke.
19 Ke ngoko, Yehova Thixo wethu, khawusisindise esandleni sakhe, zazi zonke izikumkani zehlabathi ukuba wena unguYehova uThixo wedwa.
20 Wathumela ke uIsaya, unyana ka-Amotse, kuHezekiya, esithi, Utsho uYehova, uThixo wakwaSirayeli, ukuthi, Okuthandazeleyo kum ngokubhekisele kuSaneribhe ukumkani waseAsiriya, ndikuvile.
21 Lilo eli ilizwi alithethileyo uYehova ngaye, Intombi eyintombi enguZiyon iyakudela, iyakugculela; intombi enguYerusalem ihlunguzela intloko emva kwakho.
22 Ngubani na lo umngcikivileyo, umnyelisileyo? Ngubani na lo umphakamisele izwi lakho, uwaphakamisele amehlo akho phezulu nje? NgoyiNgcwele wakwaSirayeli.
23 Ngabathunywa bakho uyingcikivile iNkosi, wathi, Ngobuninzi beenqwelo zam zokulwa ndiqabele mna ezintlomeni zeentaba, emathambekeni eLebhanon; ndiyayigawula imisedare yayo emide kakhulu, nemisipres yayo enyuliweyo, ndifike kweyokuphela indawo yayo yokulalisa, ehlathini lentsimi yayo echumayo.
24 Mna ndimbe ndasela amanzi abefudula engekho, ndayomisa ngeentende zeenyawo zam yonke imijelo yaseYiputa.
25 Akuvanga na? Kwakude ndakwenza oku, kwangemihla yamandulo ndakubumba. Ndikufikisile, kwenzeka ngoku, ukuba uyikhahlele phantsi imizi enqatyisiweyo, ibe yingxakangxaka yemiwewe.
26 Abemi bayo banqumka izandla, baqhiphuka umbilini, badana, baba ngumfuno wasendle, nohlaza, utyani obuphezu kwendlu, isihumba engqoloweni ingekabi mvila.
27 Ke, ukuhlala kwakho, nokuphuma kwakho, nokungena kwakho, ndiyakwazi, nokuguguma kwakho ngam.
28 Ngenxa yokundigugumela kwakho, nangenxa yokutyesha kwakho okunyuke kweza ezindlebeni zam, ndiya kufaka ikhonkco lam empumlweni yakho, nomkhala wam emlonyeni wakho, ndikubuyise ngendlela oweza ngayo.
29 Ke kaloku nguwo lo umqondiso kuwe: lo mnyaka kodliwa ummilela, ngomnyaka wesibini kodliwa isihlabane, ngomnyaka wesithathu nohlwayela nivune, nityale izidiliya, nidle iziqhamo zazo;
30 abasindileyo bendlu yakwaYuda, abo baseleyo, babuye bendelisele iingcambu phantsi, benze iziqhamo phezulu.
31 Ngokuba kuya kuphuma eYerusalem abaseleyo, nabasindileyo entabeni yeZiyon. Ubukhwele bukaYehova wemikhosi buya kukwenza oko.
32 Ngako oko utsho uYehova ngokubhekisele kukumkani waseAsiriya, ukuthi, Akayi kungena kulo mzi; akayi kutola notolo kuwo; akayi kuwuzela enengweletshetshe, akayi kuwufumbela ludonga lwakungqinga.
33 Uya kubuya ngendlela aweza ngayo; akasayi kungena kulo mzi; utsho uYehova.
34 Ndiya kuwukhusela lo mzi, ndiwusindise ngenxa yam, nangenxa kaDavide umkhonzi wam.
35 Kwathi ngobo busuku, kwaphuma isithunywa sikaYehova, saxabela emkhosini wama-Asiriya ikhulu elinamanci asibhozo anesihlanu lamawaka. Bavuka kusasa, nango, ezizidumbu ezifileyo onke.
36 Wanduluka wahamba, wabuya uSaneribhe ukumkani waseAsiriya, wahlala eNineve.
37 Kwathi, enqula endlwini kaNiseroki uthixo wakhe, bamxabela ngekrele ooAdrameleki noSharetsere, oonyana bakhe. Baza basabela ezweni laseArarati. UEsar-hadon, unyana wakhe, waba ngukumkani esikhundleni sakhe.
