1Ngalezo zinsuku uHezekiya wagula waze wafa. Umprofethi u-Isaya indodana ka-Amose weza kuye, wathi kuye: “Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Lungisa indlu yakho, ngokuba uyakufa, awuyikuphila.
2UHezekiya waphendulela ubuso bakhe odongeni, wakhuleka kuJehova:
3wathi: “Khumbula, Jehova, ukuthi ngihambe kanjani phambi kwakho ngeqiniso nangenhliziyo epheleleyo, ngenza okuhle emehlweni akho. UHezekiya wakhala kamunyu.
4Izwi likaJehova lafika ku-Isaya, lathi:
5Hamba uthi kuHezekiya: Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu kaDavide uyihlo, uthi: Ngizwile umkhuleko wakho, ngibonile izinyembezi zakho; bheka, ngiyakwenezela ezinsukwini zakho iminyaka eyishumi nanhlanu.
6Futhi ngizokusindisa wena nalo muzi esandleni senkosi yase-Asiriya, futhi ngizowuvikela lo muzi.
7Lokhu kuyakuba yisibonakaliso kini esivela kuJehova sokuthi uJehova uyakwenza lokhu akukhulumileyo;
8Bheka, ngibuyisa isithunzi sezinyuko eziwela ezinyathelweni zika-Ahazi zelanga; Kanjalo ilanga labuya amadigri ayishumi, lashona ngawo.
9Umbhalo kaHezekiya inkosi yakwaJuda lapho egula futhi welapheka esifweni sakhe:
10Ngathi ekujuleni kwezinsuku zami: Ngizakuya emasangweni eHayidese; ngiphangiwe insali yeminyaka yami.
11Ngathi: “Angiyikubona uJehova, yebo, uJehova, ezweni labaphilayo;
12Ukuphila kwami kumuka, kwamuka kimi njengetende lomalusi; njengomluki nginqume ukuphila kwami; ngesifo sobuhlungu uyakunginquma; kusukela emini kuze kube sebusuku uyakungiqeda.
13Ngacabanga kwaze kwasa ukuthi uyawaphula onke amathambo ami njengengonyama; kusukela emini kuze kube sebusuku uyakungiqeda.
14Ngakhala njengenkonjane nenkonjane; ngalila njengejuba; amehlo ami aphelelwe ukubheka phezulu; zenzele mina.
15Ngizothini? wakhuluma kimi futhi wakwenza ngokwakhe; Ngizohamba kahle iminyaka yami ngomunyu womphefumulo wami.
16O Nkosi, kuzo zonke lezi zinto abantu baphila, futhi kuzo zonke lezi zinto kukhona ukuphila komoya wami; ngalokho uyakungibuyisela, ungenze ngiphile.
17Bheka, nganginomunyu omkhulu ngenxa yokuthula, kepha wawusindisa umphefumulo wami egodini lokubhubhisa, ngokuba walahla zonke izono zami ngemuva kwakho.
18Ngokuba iHayidese alinakukudumisa, ukufa akunakukudumisa; abehlela egodini abanakuthemba iqiniso lakho.
19Abaphilayo, abaphilayo, nguyena oyakukubonga, njengami namuhla; uyise uyakukwazisa abantwana iqiniso lakho.
20UJehova wayezimisele ukungisindisa; ngalokho siyakuhlabelela izingoma zami ngezingubhu izinsuku zonke zokuhamba kwethu endlini kaJehova.
21Ngokuba u-Isaya wathi: “Mabathabathe isithungu samakhiwane, basifake njengodaka esilonda, futhi uyakusinda.”
22UHezekhiya wasesithi: Siyini isibonakaliso sokuthi ngizakwenyukela endlini ye Nkosi?
