Ukugula kukaHezekhiya
38Ngalezonsuku uHezekhiya wagula waphos'ukufaa. UIsaya indodana kaAmozi umprofethib wasefika kuye, wathi kuye: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Layezela indlu yakho, ngoba uzakufa, kawuyikuphila. 2 UHezekhiya wasephendulela ubuso bakhe ngasemdulini, wakhuleka eNkosini, 3 wathi: Ngiyakuncenga, Nkosi, ake ukhumbule ukuthi ngihambe phambi kwakho ngobuqotho langenhliziyo epheleleyo, ngenza okulungileyo emehlweni akho. UHezekhiya wasekhala inyembezi ngokukhala okukhulu.
4 Kwasekufika ilizwi leNkosi kuIsaya, lisithi: 5 Hamba, uthi kuHezekhiya: Itsho njalo iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaDavida uyihlo: Ngiwuzwile umkhuleko wakho, ngibonile inyembezi zakho; khangela, ngizakwengezelela iminyaka elitshumi lanhlanu ensukwini zakho, 6 ngikukhulule wena lalumuzi esandleni senkosi yeAsiriya, ngiwuvikele lumuzic. 7 Lalesi yisibonakaliso kuwe esivela eNkosini, esokuthi iNkosi izayenza le into eyikhulumileyo. 8 Khangela, ngizabuyisela emuva isithunzi sezinyathelod esesehlile ezinyathelweni zelanga zikaAhazi, izinyathelo ezilitshumi emuva. Ilanga laselibuyela emuva izinyathelo ezilitshumi, ngezinyathelo elalehle ngazo.
9 Umbhalo kaHezekhiya inkosi yakoJuda lapho egula, esesile emkhuhlaneni wakhe.
10 Mina ngathi: Ekuqunyweni kwezinsuku zamie ngizakuya emasangweni engcwabaf; ngemukiwe insali yeminyaka yami. 11 Ngathi: Kangiyikubona uJehovag, uJehovah elizweni labaphilayoi; kangisayikubona muntu labahlali bomhlaba. 12 Isizukulwana sami sesisukile, sasuswa kimi njengethente lomelusij; ngiqume impilo yami njengomelukik; uzangiqumal njengomkhuhlane ocikizayo1; kusukela emini kuze kube sebusuku uzangiqedam. 13 Ngabalisa kwaze kwaba sekusenin; njengesilwaneo, ngokunjalo uzakwephula amathambo ami wonke; kusukela emini kuze kube sebusuku uzangiqedap. 14 Njengenkonjaneq kumbe ihemur, ngokunjalo ngatshiyozas; ngilila njengejubatu; amehlo ami afiphala ngokukhangela phezuluv. Nkosi, ngicindezelwe; woba yisibambiso samiw. 15 Ngingathini? Ikhulumile kimi, yona uqobo ikwenzile. Ngizahamba kabuthakathakax yonke iminyaka yami ebuhlungwini bomphefumulo wamiy. 16 Nkosi, ngalezizinto bayaphilaz, lakuzo zonke lezizinto kulempilo yomoya wami. Njalo uzangelapha, ungiphilisea. 17 Khangela, kulokuthula ngibe lobuhlungu obukhulu, kodwa wena uwuthandile umphefumulo wami wawukhulula egodini lencithakalo, ngoba uphosele ngemva komhlana wakho zonke izono zamibc. 18 Ngoba ingcwaba lingekubonged; ukufa kungekudumise; labo abehlela emgodinie bangelithembele iqiniso lakho. 19 Ophilayo, ophilayo, yena uzakudumisa, njengami lamuhla; uyise uzakwazisa abantwana iqiniso lakhof. 20 INkosi yayilungele ukungisindisa; ngakho sizahlabelela izingoma zami ngamachachog insuku zonke zempilo yethu endlini yeNkosi.
21 Ngoba uIsayah wayethe: Kabathathe isigaqa somkhiwa, basifake njengomnameko phezu kwethumba, njalo uzasila. 22 UHezekhiyai laye wayethe: Siyini isibonakaliso sokuthi ngizakwenyukela endlini yeNkosij?
