UHezekiya wathi : Kulula kuso isithunzi ukuba selule izinyathelo eziyishumi; qha, isithunzi masibuye izinyathelo eziyishumi.

Ngaleso sikhathi uMerodaki Baladani indodana kaBaladani , inkosi yaseBabele, wathuma abanezincwadi nesipho kuHezekiya , ngokuba wayezwile ukuthi uHezekiya kade egula.

Wayesethi: Baboneni endlini yakho na ? UHezekiya wathi : Babone konke okusendlini yami; akukho nto phakathi kwengcebo yami engingababonisanga yona.

Wayesethi uHezekiya ku-Isaya: Lihle izwi likaJehova olikhulumileyo. Wathi futhi: Akunjalo, uma kuyakuba khona ukuthula nokulondeka emihleni yami , na?

UHezekiya wayeselala koyise . UManase indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.

UHezekiya inkosi wayesevuka ekuseni , wabutha izinduna zomuzi , wakhuphukela endlini kaJehova.

UHezekiya wayala ukunikela ngomnikelo wokushiswa e-altare. Ngesikhathi sokuqala kom nikelo wokushiswa kwaqala nesihlabelelo sikaJehova , namacilongo, kanye nezinto zokubethwa zikaDavide inkosi yakwa-Israyeli.

UHezekiya inkosi nezikhulu bawayala amaLevi ukumdumisa uJehova ngamazwi kaDavide nangaka-Asafa umboni . Badumisa ngokuthokoza , bakhothamisa amakhanda abo, bakhuleka.

UHezekiya wathokoza kanye nabantu bonke ngenxa yalokho uNkulunkulu ayebalungisele khona abantu, ngokuba leyo nto yavela ingalindelwanga.

UHezekiya wathumela kuye wonke u -Israyeli noJuda, walobela o-Efrayimi noManase izincwadi ukuba beze endlini kaJehova eJerusalema , bamenzele uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli iphasika.

Ngokuba isixuku sabantu , abaningi bakwa-Efrayimi nakwaManase nakwa- Isakare nakwaZebuloni , sasingazihlambululanga, salidla iphasika ngokungalotshiwe. Ngokuba uHezekiya wayebakhulekele ngokuthi : UJehova omuhle makathethelele

UJehova wamuzwa uHezekiya, wabaphilisa abantu.

UHezekiya wakhuluma kahle kuwo onke amaLevi ayebonakalisa ukuqonda inkonzo kaJehova . Badla-ke iminikelo yomkhosi izinsuku eziyisikhombisa , benikela ngemihlats helo yeminikelo yokut hula, bembonga uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise.

Ngokuba uHezekiya inkosi yakwaJuda wayenikile ibandla izinkunzi eziyinkulungwane nezimvu eziyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa zibe yiminikelo, nezikhulu zazinikile ibandla izinkunzi eziyinkulungwane nezimvu eziyizinkulungwane eziyishumi; abapristi abaningi bazingcwelisa.

Wayesesho uHezekiya ukuba kulungiswe amakamelo endlini kaJehova ; bawalungisa-ke.

UHezekiya wamisa izigaba zabapristi nezamaLevi ngezigaba zabo , kwaba yilowo nalowo njengenkonzo yakhe , abapristi namaLevi beminikelo yokushiswa neminikelo yokuthula, ukuba bakhonze , babonge, badumise emasangweni ekamu likaJehova,

Lapho uHezekiya nezikhulu beza ukuzibona izinqwaba, bambonga uJehova nabantu bakhe u-Israyeli.

UHezekiya wababuza abapristi namaLevi ngezinqwaba.

UHezekiya akaniyengi yini ukuba aninikele, nife ngendlala nangokoma , ethi: U Jehova uNkulunkulu wethu uyakusophula esandleni senkosi yase - Asiriya, na?

Ngalokho uHezekiya makanganikhohlisi , anganiyengi ngale ndlela , ningakholwa nguye , ngokuba kwakungekho n kulunkulu nakusiphi isizwe noma kumuphi umbuso owayenamandla okophula abantu bakhe esandleni sami nasesandleni sawobaba ; kakhulu kangakanani anganophula esandleni sami uNkulunkulu wenu na?

Izinceku zakhe zazikhuluma nokunye okuphambene noJehova uNkulunkulu nenceku yakhe uHezekiya.

Lapho uHezekiya esebona ukuthi uSaneheribi ufikile nokuthi uqonda ukulwa neJerusalema,

UHezekiya inkosi no -Isaya umprofethi , indodana ka -Amose, bakhuleka ngenxa yalokho, bakhala ngasezulwini.

UJehova wasindisa -ke uHezekiya nabakhileyo eJerusalema esandleni sikaSaneheribi inkosi yase-Asiriya nasesandleni sabo bonke abanye, wabahola nxazonke.

Ngalezo zinsuku uHezekiya wagula waze waba sengozini yokufa ; wakhuleka kuJehova; yena wakhuluma kuye, wamnika isibonakaliso.

Kepha uHezekiya akabuyiselanga okuhle okwenzelwe yena , ngokuba inhliziyo yakhe yayikhukhumele ; ngalokho kwaba khona ulaka phezu kwakhe, naphezu kukaJuda, naphezu kweJerusalema.

UHezekiya wayenengcebo nodumo oluningi kakhulu , wazenzela izindlu zesiliva, nezegolide, nezamatshe angamagugu , nezamakha, nezezihlangu, nezezinto zonke ezinxanelekayo,

Yena lowo Hezekiya wavimbezela umthombo wasenhla wamanzi aseGihoni, wawaqondisa ngasentshonalanga komuzi kaDavide. UHezekiya waphumelela emisebenzini yakhe yonke.

UHezekiya wayeselala koyise ; bammbela emmangweni wamathuna amadodana kaDavide ; wonke uJuda nabakhileyo eJerusalema bamenzela udumo ekufeni kwakhe. UManase indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.

Wabuye wakha izindawo eziphakemeyo uHezekiya uyise azidilizile; wamisela oBali ama -altare, wenza o -Ashera, wakhuleka kulo lonke ibandla lasezulwini, walikhonza.

uHezekiya wazala uManase , uManase wazala u -Amoni, u-Amoni wazala uJosiya;

futhi uHezekiya makanganenzi nethembe uJehova ngokuthi : U Jehova uyakusophula nokusophula , nalo muzi awuyikunikelwa esandleni senkosi yase-Asiriya.

Ningamlaleli uHezekiya , ngokuba inkosi yase -Asiriya isho kanje , ithi: Yenzani ukuthula nami, niphumele kimi, nidle, kube yilowo nalowo emvinini wakhe, kube yilowo nalowo emkhiwaneni wakhe , niphuze, kube yilowo nalowo amanzi omthombo wakhe,

Xwayani ukuba uHezekiya anganiyengi ngokuthi : UJehova uyakusophula. Abanye onkulunkulu bezizwe bake bophula nokophula yini izwe lakubo esandleni senkosi yase-Asiriya na?

Inkosi yase-Asiriya yathuma uRabi Shake , asuke eLakishi, aye eJerusalema enkosini uHezekiya , enempi enkulu , wema ngasemseleni wechibi lasenhla , elingasendleleni yeNsimu Yomhlanzi.

UHezekiya wayesephendulela ubuso bakhe odongeni, wakhuleka kuJehova,

Kepha uHezekiya wathi : Yisibonakaliso sini sokuba ngiyakwenyukela endlini kaJehova na?

wathi: Ngiyacela, Jehova: ake ukhumbule ukuthi ngihambile phambi kwakho ngeqiniso nangenhliziyo epheleleyo , ngenzile okuhle emehlweni akho. Wayesekhala uHezekiya ngokukhala okukhulu.
