39 Pa ndzidzi unoyu, mambo wa ku Bhabhilonya akhacemerwa Merodhaki-Bhaladhani mwana wa Bhaladhani atumiza matsamba na muoni kuna Ezekiya,+ thangwi iye akhadabva kuti Ezekiya akhabva kupha, mbwenye awanga.+ 2 Ezekiya atambira mwadidi* anthu adatumwa, mbaapangiza nyumba yace yakukoyera mpfuma.+ Iye aapangiza parata, ouro, mafuta a bhalsamu na mafuta anango adidi, mbuto yonsene yakukoyera pida pya nkhondo na pyonsene pikhali nʼnyumba mwace munakoyera iye mpfuma. Nkhabepo cinthu ca nʼnyumba mwace na ca mu umambo wace cidakhonda iye kuapangiza.

3 Buluka penepo, mprofeta Izaiya aenda kuna Mambo Ezekiya, mbambvundza: “Amuna awa alonganji, pontho abuluka kupi?” Natenepa Ezekiya atawira: “Iwo abuluka ku dziko yakutali, ku Bhabhilonya.”+ 4 Pidamala iye, ambvundza: “Aonanji nʼnyumba mwanu?” Ezekiya atawira: “Iwo aona pyonsene piri nʼnyumba mwanga. Nkhabepo cinthu cidakhonda ine kuapangiza mule munakoyera ine mpfuma yanga.”

5 Natenepa Izaiya apanga Ezekiya: “Bveserani mafala a Yahova wa anyankhondo, 6 ‘Ona, zinadzafika ntsiku zakuti pyonsene piri nʼnyumba mwako na pyonsene pidakoya ambuyako mpaka lero, pinadzakwatwa mbapiendeswa ku Bhabhilonya. Nkhabepo cinafuna kudzasala,’+ alonga Yahova.+ 7 ‘Anango mwa ana amuna anafuna kudzabala iwe, anadzaendeswa ku ubitcu, pontho iwo anadzakhala atsogoleri a panyumba ya mambo wa ku Bhabhilonya.’”+

8 Natenepa Ezekiya apanga Izaiya: “Mafala a Yahova adalonga imwe ndi adidi.” Pontho iye athimiza: “Thangwi unadzaoneka ntendere na citsidzikizo* mu ndzidzi* unakhala ine mʼmaso.”+
