Bainamuka, baaza Yerusaalemu. Ku baahikireyo, baayemerera aha mukura gw'ekiyanja ky'eruguru, ekiri aha muhanda rugyendwa ogurikuza aha kibanja ky'omwozi. 1814 Ku baayetsire omugabe, haija Eliakimu mwene Hilukia, owaabaire ari omukuru w'ekikaari, na Shebuna omuhandiiki, na Yoa mwene Asafu omuhandiiki w'ebirikubaho, baabashanga aho.

19Omutware Rabushaake yaabagira ati: Mwirooko mugire Hezekia muti: Oku nikwo omugabe rugambwa, omugabe wa Asiria arikugamba naagira ati: Mbwenu ou orikwesiga n'oha? 20Noogira ngu ebigambo bugambo nibyo naama n'amaani eby'okurwanisa? Hari ou oyegamiire hati n'oha, waaza kungomera? 2115 Reeba, hati oyegamiire Misri, orubango oruri nk'ekibungo kihendekire, ekirikwija kucumita ekiganja ky'omuntu weena orikukihimbagiriraho. Okwo nikwo na Faraho omugabe wa Misri ari ahari boona abarikumwesiga. 2216 Kandi ku murangire muti: Nitwesiga MUKAMA Ruhanga waitu, tiwe ogwo ou Hezekia yaihireho emyanya ye mikuru ey'okuramizamu n'amatambiro ge, naagira Abayuda n'aba Yerusaalemu ati: Mushemereire kuramiza omu maisho g'eri itambiro eriri Yerusaalemu? 23Mbwenu ija okwatirizane na mukama wangye omugabe wa Asiria.

Omanye ngu MUKAMA niwe angambiire ati: Inamuka, oteere egyo nsi, ogicwekyereze.

26Bwanyima Eliakimu mwene Hilukia na Shebuna na Yoa baagira omutware Rabushaake bati: Twakweshengyereza, gamba n'abairu baawe omu rurimi rw'Abasiria; ahakuba itwe niturumanya; reka kugamba omu rurimi rw'Abayuda, abantu abari ha rugo rw'amabaare babihuriire. 27Kwonka omutware Rabushaake yaabagarukamu ati: Nimugira ngu mukama wangye antumire ahari mukama waanyu naimwe kuba niimwe naagambira ebigambo ebi mwenka? Tantumire kubigambira n'abashaija bariya abashutami aha rugo, abarikwija kurya naimwe amazi gaabo, n'okunywa naimwe enkari yaago?

28Ahonaaho omutware Rabushaake yaayemerera, yaagamba n'eiraka rihango omu rurimi rw'Abayuda, naagira ati: Muhurire obutumwa bw'omugabe rugambwa, omugabe wa Asiria. 29Oku nikwo omugabe arikugamba naagira ati: Mutaikiriza Hezekia kubabeiha; ahabw'okuba tarikwija kubaasa kubajuna abaihe omu mikono yangye. 30Mutaikiriza Hezekia kubeesigisa MUKAMA naabagira ati: Buzimazima MUKAMA naija kutujuna, kandi orurembo oru tirurikwija kuheebwayo mu mikono y'omugabe wa Asiria. 31Mutahurira Hezekia; ahakuba oku nikwo omugabe wa Asiria arikugamba naagira ati: Mugarukane naanye; mwije munshangye aha; obwo buri omwe omuriimwe nibwo araarye ahamuzaabibu gwe, akarya ahamutiini gwe, kandi akanywa amaizi g'omu iziba rye, 32okuhitsya obu ndiija, nkabatwara omu nsi erikushushana n'eyaanyu, ensi y'engano na viinyo, ey'emigaati n'emizaabibu, kandi ey'emizeituuni n'obwoki, mukabona kugumaho, mutafe. N'ahabw'ekyo mutahurira Hezekia orikubabeihabeiha naabagira ati: MUKAMA naija kutujuna. 3317 Nimugira ngu hariho ruhanga omuri baaruhanga b'abanyamahanga orajunire ensi ye omu mikono y'omugabe wa Asiria? 3418 Mbwenu baaruhanga ba Hamasi na Arupaadi barahi? Na baaruhanga ba Sefavaimu, ba Hena n'aba Iiva barahi? Barajunire Samaria omu mikono yangye? 3519 Ni baahi omuri baaruhanga boona ab'ezo nsi abarajunire ensi yaabo omu mikono yangye, mukabona kwesiga ku MUKAMA arikwija kwiha Yerusaalemu omu mikono yangye?

36Abantu baahunama, tibaagira ki baamugarukamu, ahabw'okuba ekiragiro ky'omugabe kikaba nikigira kiti: Mutamugarukamu. 37Bwanyima Eliakimu mwene Hilukia omukuru w'ekikaari, na Shebuna omuhandiiki, na Yoa mwene Asafu omuhandiiki w'ebirikubaho baija ahari Hezekia bataagwire ebijwaro byabo, baamuteekyerereza ebigambo bya Rabushaake.
