| 1. | Kwathi, akukuva okukumkani uHezekiya, wazikrazula iingubo zakhe wazigquma ngezirhwexayo, wangena endlwini kaYehova. |
| 2. | Wathuma uEliyakim umphathi wendlu, noShebhena umbhali, namadoda amakhulu ababingeleli, bezigqume ngezirhwexayo, kuIsaya umprofeti, unyana ka-Amotsi. |
| 3. | Bathi kuye, Utsho uHezekiya ukuthi, Le mini yimini yembandezelo neyokohlwaya neyogibo; ngokuba abantwana baze kufika emlonyeni wesizalo, tu ke amandla okuzala. |
| 4. | Mhlawumbi uYehova uThixo wakho angaweva amazwi kaRabheshake, othunyiweyo ngukumkani waseAsiriya inkosi yakhe, ukungcikiva uThixo ophilileyo; amohlwaye ngenxa yamazwi lawo awavileyo uYehova uThixo wakho; wena uphakamise umthandazo ngenxa yamasalela asekhoyo. |
| 5. | Baya ke abakhonzi bokumkani uHezekiya kuIsaya. |
| 6. | Wathi uIsaya kubo, Nothi kwinkosi yenu, Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Musa ukoyikiswa ngamazwi owavileyo, abandinyelise ngawo abafana bakwakumkani 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, Uphumile esiza kulwa nawe. Weva ke, wathumela abathunywa kuHezekiya esithi, |
| 10. | Notsho kuHezekiya ukumkani wakwaYuda ukuthi, Makangakulukuhli uThixo wakho, okholose ngaye wena, usithi, Ayisayi kunikelwa iYerusalem esandleni sokumkani waseAsiriya. |
| 11. | Uyabona, ukuvile wena abakwenzileyo ookumkani baseAsiriya kumazwe onke, ukuba bawaphanzisa; uya kuhlangulwa na ke wena? |
| 12. | Oothixo beentlanga ke bazihlangula na ezo, bazitshabalalisayo oobawo, iGozan, neHaran, neRetsefe, noonyana bakaEden ababeseTelasare? |
| 13. | Uphi na ukumkani weHamati, nokumkani weArpadi, nokumkani womzi waseSefarvayim, neHena, neIva? |
| 14. | Wawathabatha uHezekiya amaphepha encwadi esandleni sabathunywa, wawafunda; wenyuka waya endlwini kaYehova, wayaneka uHezekiya phambi koYehova. |
| 15. | Wathandaza uHezekiya kuYehova esithi, |
| 16. | Yehova wemikhosi, Thixo wakwaSirayeli, wena uhleli phakathi kweekerubhi, unguye uThixo wena wedwa kwizikumkani zonke zehlabathi; wena ulenzile izulu nehlabathi. |
| 17. | Thoba indlebe yakho, Yehova, uve; vula amehlo akho, Yehova, ubone; uweve onke amazwi kaSaneribhe, awathumele ukungcikiva uThixo ophilileyo. |
| 18. | Okunene, Yehova, ookumkani baseAsiriya baziphanzisile zonke iintlanga namazwe azo; |
| 19. | babanikela oothixo bazo emlilweni, kuba bebengethixo, bebengumsebenzi wezandla zomntu, umthi nelitye; babatshabalalisa ke. |
| 20. | Ke ngoko, Yehova Thixo wethu, sisindise esandleni sakhe, zazi zonke izikumkani zehlabathi, ukuba wena unguYehova wedwa. |
| 21. | Wathumela ke uIsaya unyana ka-Amotsi kuHezekiya, esithi, Utsho uYehova, uThixo wakwaSirayeli, ukuthi, Okuthandazeleyo kum, ngokubhekisele kuSaneribhe ukumkani waseAsiriya, ndikuvile. |
| 22. | Lilo eli ilizwi alithethayo uYehova ngaye, Intombi eyintombi uZiyon iyakudela, iyakugculela; intombi uYerusalem ihlunguzela intloko emva kwakho. |
| 23. | Ngubani na lo umngcikivileyo, umnyelisileyo? Ngubani na lo umphakamisele ilizwi lakho, ukude uwaphakamisele amehlo akho phezulu nje? NgoyiNgcwele wakwaSirayeli. |
| 24. | Uyingcikivile iNkosi ngabakhonzi bakho, wathi, Ngobuninzi beenqwelo zam zokulwa ndiqabele mna ezintlomeni zeentaba, emathambekeni eLebhanon; ndiyigawule imisedare yayo emide kakhulu nemisipres yayo enyuliweyo; ndifike kweyokuphela indawo yayo ephezulu, ehlathini lentsimi yayo echumayo. |
| 25. | Ndimbe, ndasela amanzi mna; ndiya kuyomisa ngentende yeenyawo zam yonke imijelo yoMnayile oseYiputa. |
| 26. | Akuvanga na? Kwakude ndakwenza oku, kwangemihla yamandulo ndakubumba; ndikufikisile, kwenzeka ngoku ukuba uyikhahlele phantsi imizi enqatyisiweyo, ibe yingxakangxaka yemiwewe. |
| 27. | Abemi bayo banqumka izandla, baqhiphuka umbilini, badana, baba ngumfuno wasendle, nohlaza, utyani obuphezu kwendlu, nentsimi yengqolowa engekabi mvila. |
| 28. | Ke ukuhlala kwakho, nokuphuma kwakho, nokungena kwakho, ndiyakwazi, nokuguguma kwakho ngam. |
| 29. | Ngenxa yokuguguma kwakho ngam, nangenxa yokutyesha kwakho okunyuke kweza ezindlebeni zam, ndiya kufaka ikhonkco lam empumlweni yakho, nomkhala wam emlonyeni wakho, ndikubuyise ngendlela oweza ngayo. |
| 30. | Ke kaloku nguwo lo umqondiso kuwe: lo mnyaka kodliwa ummilela, ngomnyaka wesibini kodliwa isihlabane; ngomnyaka wesithathu nohlwayela nivune, nityale izidiliya, nidle iziqhamo zazo. |
| 31. | Abasindileyo bendlu yakwaYuda, abo baseleyo, baya kubuya bendelisele iingcambu phantsi, benze iziqhamo phezulu. |
| 32. | Ngokuba kuya kuphuma eYerusalem abaseleyo nabasindileyo entabeni yeZiyon. Ubukhwele bukaYehova wemikhosi buya kukwenza oko. |
| 33. | Ngako oko utsho uYehova ngokubhekisele kukumkani waseAsiriya, ukuthi, Akayi kungena kulo mzi, akayi kutola notolo kuwo, akayi kuwuzela enengweletshetshe, akayi kuwufumbela ludonga lakungqinga. |
| 34. | Uya kubuya ngendlela aweza ngayo; akasayi kungena kulo mzi; utsho uYehova. |
| 35. | Ndiya kuwukhusela lo mzi, ndiwusindise ngenxa yam, nangenxa kaDavide, umkhonzi wam. |
| 36. | Kwaphuma ke isithunywa sikaYehova, saxabela emkhosini wama-Asiriya ikhulu elinamanci asibhozo anesihlanu amawaka. Bavuka kusasa, nango ezizidumbu ezifileyo onke. |
| 37. | Wanduluka, wahamba; wabuya uSaneribhe ukumkani waseAsiriya, wahlala eNineve. |
| 38. | Kwathi, enqula endlwini kaNiseroki uthixo wakhe, bamxabela ngekrele ooAdrameleki noSharetsere, oonyana bakhe. Baza basabela ezweni laseArarati. UEsar-hadon, unyana wakhe, waba ngukumkani esikhundleni sakhe. |
