Ndizvo zvakaita Farao mambo weIjipiti kune vese vanovimba naye. 22 Kana mukati kwandiri, ‘Tinovimba naJehovha Mwari wedu,’+ haasi iye here ane nzvimbo dzakakwirira neatari zvakabviswa naHezekiya,+ achiti kuJudha neJerusarema, ‘Munofanira kupfugama pamberi peatari iyi iri muJerusarema’?”’+ 23 Saka iye zvino ndapota, bhejerana nashe wangu mambo weAsiriya: Ndichakupa mabhiza 2 000 kuti ndione kana uchikwanisa kuwana vanhu vanokwana kuatasva.+ 24 Zvino ungakwanisa sei kukunda kunyange gavhuna mumwe chete, mudiki pavaranda vese vashe wangu, iwe uchivimba neIjipiti kuti uwane ngoro nevatasvi vemabhiza? 25 Ini handina here kubvumirwa naJehovha kuti ndiuye kuzorwisa nzvimbo ino ndoiparadza? Jehovha pachake ndiye akati kwandiri, ‘Enda unorwisa nyika iyi, uiparadze.’”

26 Eriyakimu mwanakomana waHirikiya, naShebhina+ naJoa vakabva vati kumuRabhisheki:+ “Tapota, taurai henyu nevaranda venyu nemutauro wechiAramaiki,*+ nekuti tinounzwa; musataura nesu nemutauro wevaJudha vanhu vari parusvingo vachinzwa.”+ 27 Asi muRabhisheki akati kwavari: “Ishe wangu andituma kuti ndizongotaura mashoko aya kunashe wenyu nekwamuri chete here? Haana kunditumawo here kuvanhu vakagara parusvingo, avo vachadya tsvina yavo nekunwa weti yavo pamwe chete nemi?”

28 MuRabhisheki akabva amira akashevedzera nenzwi guru nemutauro wevaJudha, achiti: “Inzwai shoko ramambo mukuru, iye mambo weAsiriya.+ 29 Zvanzi namambo, ‘Musarega Hezekiya achikunyengerai, nekuti haakwanisi kukununurai paruoko rwangu.+ 30 Uye musarega Hezekiya achiita kuti muvimbe naJehovha, achiti: “Chokwadi Jehovha achatinunura, uye guta rino harisi kuzoiswa muruoko rwamambo weAsiriya.”+ 31 Musateerera Hezekiya, nekuti zvanzi namambo weAsiriya: “Yananai neni muzviise mega mumaoko angu, uye mumwe nemumwe achadya michero yemuzambiringa wake neyemuonde wake uye achanwa mvura yemumugodhi wake, 32 kusvikira ndauya ndokuendesai kunyika yakaita senyika yenyu,+ nyika ine zviyo* newaini itsva, nyika ine chingwa neminda yemizambiringa, nyika ine miti yemiorivhi neuchi. Muchararama morega kufa. Musateerera Hezekiya, nekuti ari kukunyengerai achiti, ‘Jehovha achatinunura.’ 33 Pana mwari wemamwe marudzi akambonunura nyika yake paruoko rwamambo weAsiriya here? 34 Vanamwari veHamati+ neApadhi vari kupi? Vanamwari veSefavhaimu,+ Hena, neIvha vari kupi? Vakanunura Samariya paruoko rwangu here?+ 35 Pavanamwari vese venyika, ndeupi akanunura nyika yake paruoko rwangu, zvekuti Jehovha anganunura Jerusarema paruoko rwangu?”’”+
