1 Muri iyo misi, Hezekiya aragwara, ashika ku mpfiro. Umuvugishwa Yesaya mwene Amozi aja kumuraba, amubwira ati: "Uhoraho avuze ngo: ‘Tunganya ivyo mu rugo rwawe, kuko ugiye gupfa, ntuzokira.’ "

2 Maze aca ahindukiriza amaso ku ruhome, asenga Uhoraho, 3 avuga ati: "Uhoraho we, ibuka ingene nagendeye imbere yawe mu bwizigirwa nkagukorera nguhaye umutima wanje wose, ngakora ivyo ubona ko ari vyiza mu nyonga zawe." Hezekiya ararira cane.

4 Ariko imbere y’uko Yesaya arengana mu rugo ataha, ijambo ry’Uhoraho rimuzako, 5 riti: "Subira inyuma ubwire Hezekiya, umutware w’ubwoko bwanje uti, uku ni ko Uhoraho, Imana ya sogokuruza Dawidi avuze: ‘Numvise ugusenga kwawe, kandi nabonye amarira yawe, none ngiye kugukiza. Inyuma y’imisi itatu uzoduga mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho. 6 Nzokwongera iyindi myaka cumi n’itanu yo kubaho. Kandi wewe n’iki gisagara nzobakiza amaboko y’umwami w’i Ashuri. Nzogwanira iki gisagara ku bw’izina ryanje no ku bw’umusavyi wanje Dawidi.’ "

7 Maze Yesaya avuga ati: "Nimutegure akarobe kabumvye mu nsukoni." Barakazana, bagashira ku kivyimba, Hezekiya aca arakira.

8 Hezekiya abaza Yesaya ati: "Ikimenyetso kizonyereka ko Uhoraho yankijije, ngashobora gusubira kuduga mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho inyuma y’imisi itatu ni ikihe?"

9 Yesaya aramwishura ati: "Iki ni co kimenyetso ko Uhoraho azokora ivyo yasezeranye: Ushaka ko igitutu kija imbere yawe amatambwe cumi canke inyuma yawe amatambwe cumi?"

10 Hezekiya yishura ati: "Ni ibisanzwe ko igitutu kija imbere amatambwe cumi, ahubwo nikije inyuma amatambwe cumi."

11 Maze Yesaya yambaza izina ry’Uhoraho, na we ahindukiza igitutu gisubira inyuma ya Ahazi amatambwe cumi.

12 Muri ico gihe nyene, Merodaki-Baladani mwene Baladani, umwami w’i Babiloni, arungikira Hezekiya amakete yo kumusuhuza hamwe n’utuganuke, kuko yari yumvise ko yagwaye. 13 Hezekiya yakira neza abazanye ubwo butumwa, abereka mu nzu hose n’ivyari mu bubiko vyose: ifeza, inzahabu, ibimota neza, amavuta, abereka n’imyambaro y’intambara, hamwe n’ibindi vyose vyari mu bubiko bwiwe. Nta na kimwe cari ku kirimba canke mu bwami bwose ataberetse.

14 Umuvugishwa Yesaya aragenda abaza umwami Hezekiya ati: "Abo bantu bakubwiye iki, kandi baje bava he?"

Hezekiya amwishura ati: "Baje bava mu gihugu ca kure; bavuye i Babiloni."

15 Yesaya aramubaza ati: "Babonye iki ku kirimba iwawe?"

Hezekiya amwishura ati: "Babonye ibintu vyose biri mu ngoro yanje. Nta na kimwe c’ubutunzi bwanje ntaberetse."

16 Yesaya abwira Hezekiya ati: "Niwumve ijambo ry’Uhoraho: 17 Hazogera igihe aho ibiri muri iyi ngoro vyose, ivyo ba sogokuruza bawe begeranije gushika uwu musi, bizotwarwa i Babiloni. Nta na kimwe kizosigara, ni ko Uhoraho avuze. 18 Kandi bamwe bo mu ruvyaro rwawe, abana bawe bwite, bazogukomokako, uwundi azoza abatware, bagirwe inkone ku kirimba c’umwami w’i Babiloni."

19 Hezekiya amwishura ati: "Ijambo ry’Uhoraho uvuze ni ryiza." Aho rero ni kubera yibwira mu mutima ati: "Kazima mu gihe nzoba nkiriho hazoba hari amahoro."

20 Ibindi vyose vyabaye ku ngoma ya Hezekiya, ivyo yashitseko, ingene yubatse ikidengeri, n’ingene yubatse umugende uca mu kuzimu uzana amazi mu gisagara, mbega ntivyanditswe mu gitabu c’ivyabaye ku ngoma z’abami b’i Buyuda? 21 Maze Hezekiya ahamvya ba sekuruza, umuhungu wiwe Manase amusubirira ku ngoma.
