5 No hewɔ lɛ, Maŋtsɛ Hezekia tsuji lɛ tee Yesaia ŋɔɔ,+ 6 ni Yesaia kɛɛ amɛ akɛ: “Nyɛyakɛa nyɛnuŋtsɔ lɛ akɛ, ‘Nɔ ni Yehowa kɛɛ nɛ: “Nyɛkashea gbeyei+ yɛ wiemɔi ni nyɛnu lɛ ahewɔ, ni ji wiemɔi ni Asiria maŋtsɛ lɛ sɔɔlɔi lɛ kɛjɛ mi lɛ.+ 7 Naa, mikɛ susumɔ ko miiwo ejwɛŋmɔ mli,* ni ebaanu sane ko he, ni ebaaku esɛɛ kɛya lɛ diɛŋtsɛ eshikpɔŋ lɛ nɔ; ni mahã akɛ klante agbe lɛ yɛ lɛ diɛŋtsɛ eshikpɔŋ lɛ nɔ.”’”+
