2 Wathuma uEliyakim umphathi wendlu, noShebhena umbhali, namadoda amakhulu ababingeleli, bezigqume ngezirhwexayo, kuIsaya umprofeti, unyana ka-Amotsi.
3 Bathi kuye, Utsho uHezekiya ukuthi, Le mini yimini yembandezelo neyokohlwaya neyogibo; ngokuba abantwana bazé kufika emlonyeni wesizalo, tu ke amandla okuzala.
4 Mhlawumbi uYehova uThixo wakho angaweva amazwi kaRabheshake, othunyiweyo ngukumkani waseAsiriya inkosi yakhe, ukungcikiva uThixo ophilileyo; amohlwaye ngenxa yamazwi lawo awavileyo uYehova uThixo wakho; wena uphakámise umthandazo ngenxa yamasalela asekhoyo.
5 Baya ke abakhonzi bokumkani uHezekiya kuIsaya.
6 Wathi uIsaya kubo, Nothi kwinkosi yenu, Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Musa ukoyikiswa ngamazwi owavileyo, abandinyelise ngawo abafana bakwakumkani waseAsiriya.
7 Yabona, ndimfaka umoya, ukuba eve udaba olubi, abuye ke aye ezweni lakhe, ndimwise ngekrele ezweni lakhe.
8 Wabuya ke uRabheshake, wamfumana ukumkani waseAsiriya esilwa neLibhena; ngokuba ebevile ukuba undulukile eLakishe.
