None rero, tera isengesho ryawe usabira abasigaye. 5 Nuko abagaragu b'Umwami Hezekiya basanga Yesaya. 6 Yesaya arababwira ati “Muzabwire shobuja muti 'Uwiteka aravuze ngo: Ntutinye amagambo wumvise, abagaragu b'umwami wa Ashuri bantutse.' 7 Dore nzamushyiramo umwuka, azumva inkuru maze asubire mu gihugu cye, maze mu gihugu cye nzamwicisha inkota. 8 Rabushake aragaruka asanga umwami wa Ashuri arwana na Libuna, kuko yari yumvise ko yavuye i Lakishi. 9 Akimara kumva ibya Tiruhaka umwami wa Etiyopiya bavuga ngo “Dore araje kubarwanya.” Yongera kohereza intumwa kuri Hezekiya ngo zimubwire ziti: 10 “Muzabwire Hezekiya umwami w’u Buyuda muti: 'Imana wiringira ntigushuke ngo iguhende ivuga ngo: 'Yerusalemu ntizatangwa n’umwami wa Ashuru.' 11 Dore wumvise ibyo abami ba Ashuri bakoreye ibihugu byose bakabirimbura rwose, none se uzarokorwa? 12 Ese imana z'amahanga ba sogokuruza barimbuye zarabakijije, nka Gozani, Harani, Resefu, n'Abanyedeni bari i Telasari? 13 Umwami wa Hamati ari he, umwami wa Arupadi, umwami w'umujyi wa Sefaruvayimu, uw'i Hena n'uwa Iva? 14 Hezekiya yakira ibaruwa mu ntoki z'intumwa, arayisoma, maze azamuka ajya mu Ngoro y'Uhoraho ayirambura imbere y'Uhoraho. 15 Hezekiya asenga imbere y'Uwiteka ati “Uwiteka Mana ya Isirayeli, wicaye hejuru y'abakerubi, ni wowe Mana wenyine y'ubwami bwose bwo ku isi, ni wowe waremye ijuru n'isi.” 16 Uwiteka, tega amatwi wumve, fungura amaso yawe Uwiteka urebe, wumve amagambo ya Senakeribu yamutumye gutuka Imana nzima. 17 Ni ukuri Uwiteka, abami ba Ashuri batsembye amahanga n'ibihugu byayo, 18 Bajugunye imana zabo mu muriro kuko zitari imana, ahubwo zari imirimo y'intoki z'abantu, ibiti n'amabuye, ni cyo cyatumye bazirimbura. 19 None rero, Uhoraho Mana yacu, turakwinginze udukize ikiganza cye, kugira ngo abami bose bo ku isi bamenye ko uri Uhoraho Imana, wowe wenyine. 20 Yesaya mwene Amosi atuma kuri Hezekiya ati: “Uhoraho Imana ya Isiraheli aravuze ati: ‘Numvise isengesho wansabye ku byerekeye Senakeribu umwami wa Ashūru. 21 Dore ijambo Uhoraho yavuze kuri we: Umwari w'i Siyoni aragusuzuguye, araguseka cyane, umukobwa wa Yeruzalemu arakuzunguriza umutwe.

None rero tera isengesho ryawe usabira abasigaye. 5 Nuko abagaragu b'Umwami Hezekiya basanga Yesaya. 6 Yesaya arababwira ati “Muzabwire shobuja muti 'Uwiteka aravuze ngo: Ntutinye amagambo wumvise, abagaragu b'umwami wa Ashuri bantutse.' 7 Dore nzamushyiramo umwuka, azumva inkuru, asubire mu gihugu cye, maze mu gihugu cye nzamwicisha inkota.

wamutumye gutuka Imana nzima.” Yemera ko Abashuri barimbuye andi mahanga kubera ko imana zabo zari ibiti n’amabuye gusa, maze arasenga ati: “Noneho rero, Uwiteka Mana yacu, ndakwinginze udukize amaboko ye, kugira ngo ubwami bwose bwo ku isi bumenye ko uri Uwiteka Imana, wowe wenyine.” 6.

Kubera uburakari bwa Senakeribu, Imana iravuga iti: “Nzashyira urutoki rwanjye mu mazuru yawe, n’umunwa wanjye mu kanwa kawe, kandi nzagusubiza inzira wanyuzemo.” 2 Abami 19:29–31 / Yesaya 37:30–32 – Imana yahaye Yuda ikimenyetso cyo kurokoka no gukura: abasigaye bo mu nzu ya Yuda bazongera gushinga imizi hasi, bere imbuto hejuru. 2 Abami 19:32–34 / Yesaya 37:33–35 – Imana isezeranya umwami wa Ashuri iti: “Ntazinjira muri uyu murwa, ntazawurasaho umwambi, ntazawutera afite ingabo, ntazawuteraho ikirundo cyo kuwurinda… Kuko nzarinda uyu murwa, ngo nywukize, ku bwanjye no ku bw’umugaragu wanjye Dawidi.” 7.

Amasomo y'ingenzi aturuka mu nkuru Itandukaniro riri hagati y'ubwumvikane bw'abantu n'agakiza k'Imana Hezekiya yabanje kugerageza kugura Senakeribu asahura zahabu mu Ngoro (2 Abami 18: 14-16), ariko Abashuri baragarutse kugira ngo bigarurire burundu. Kwiyoberanya nk'umwanzi w'Imana ntabwo byakunze kugira icyo bitanga; amahoro arambye yazaga gusa igihe Hezekiya yarekaga kwishingikiriza ku feza agasenga byuzuye. Imyiteguro ifatika ihujwe n'ibyiringiro by'umwuka Mbere y'uko igitero gitangira, Hezekiya yahagaritse amazi, ashimangira inkuta, anategura uburyo bwo kuzirinda (2 Ngoma 32:2–5). Kwizera Imana ntibisobanura kwirengagiza inshingano zifatika, ahubwo Hezekiya yashingiye icyizere cye cya nyuma mu Mushoborabyose aho gushingira ibihome bye. Gutahura mu buryo bw'umwuka kurwanya gushinyagurirwa no gushukashuka Rabushake yakoresheje amayeri yo mu mutwe—kugoreka Ibyanditswe Byera, gukwirakwiza ubwoba, gushidikanya ku mbaraga z'Imana, no kugerageza gutandukanya ubuyobozi n'abantu (2

Abami 18:22, 28–35). Itegeko rya Hezekiya ryo "Ntumusubize" ritwigisha ubwenge bwo kwanga kujya impaka n'ibitutsi bituka Imana, ahubwo agahitamo kujyana ikibazo ku Mana ubwayo. Gukwirakwiza ibibazo byacu imbere y'Uwiteka Hezekiya amaze kwakira ibaruwa iteye ubwoba ya Senakeribu, yayijyanye mu rusengero "ayishyira imbere y'Uwiteka" (2 Abami 19:14). Ibi bitanga icyitegererezo cy'isengesho: gufata ibikangisho bifatika, ubwoba, n'imihangayiko mu maso y'Imana no kubishyira ahagaragara imbere yayo. Ikuzo ry'Imana nk'ikintu cy'ingenzi kurusha ibindi mu isengesho Hezekiya ntiyasenze gusa asaba ko yarokoka, ahubwo yasenze asaba ko Imana yagira icyo ikora “kugira ngo abami bose bo mu isi bamenye ko uri Uwiteka Imana, wowe wenyine” (2 Abami 19:19). Amasengesho ashingiye ku cyubahiro cy’Imana ahura neza n’ubushake bwayo. Ubwibone bw'Umuntu ugereranije n'Ubutware bw'Imana Senakeribu yizeraga ko gutsinda kwe kwa gisirikare kwari ukubera imbaraga ze bwite (2 Abami 19: 23-24). Imana yamwibukije ko yari igikoresho gusa mu mugambi w’Imana (2 Abami 19: 25-28). Imana irwanya abibone, kandi nta butegetsi bw’isi bushobora kunesha imigambi yayo y’ubutegetsi.
