⁸Bere a asraafo panyin no tee sɛ Asiria hene afi Lakis no, ɔsan kɔe, na ɔkɔtoo no sɛ ɔne Libna reko. ⁹Afei ɔhene no tee Kus hene Tirhaka ho asɛm se, “Hwɛ, wafi adi sɛ ɔne wo bɛko.” Enti ɔsan somaa abɔfo kɔɔ Hesekia nkyɛn se: ¹⁰“Monka nkyerɛ Yuda hene Hesekia se: Mma wo Nyankopɔn a wode wo ho ato no so no nnaadaa wo, sɛ ɔhyɛ wo bɔ sɛ Yerusalem renhwe Asiria hene nsa. ¹¹Hwɛ, woate nea Asiria ahene ayɛ nsase nyinaa, sɛ wɔasɛe wɔn pasaa. Wo nso wobɛnya nkwagye anaa? ¹²Aman a me nananom sɛee wɔn no anyame gyee wɔn anaa—Gosan, Haran, Resef ne Eden nkurɔfo a wɔwɔ Telasar no? ¹³Hamat hene, Arpad hene ne Sefarwaim kurow hene, Hena ne Iwa ahene wɔ he?”

¹⁴Hesekia gyee krataa no fii abɔfo no nsam kenkanee. Afei ɔforo kɔɔ yɛn Agya fi, na ɔtrɛw mu wɔ nʼanim. ¹⁵Hesekia bɔɔ mpae wɔ yɛn Agya anim se, “Israel Nyankopɔn a wote kerubim no atifi, wo nko ara ne Onyankopɔn a wodi asase so ahenni nyinaa so; wo na wobɔɔ ɔsoro ne asase. ¹⁶Yɛn Agya, sian wʼaso na tie; bue wʼani na hwɛ. Tie nsɛm a Senakerib de abrɛ sɛ ɔde bedi Agya a ɔte ase no ho fɛw no. ¹⁷Ampa, yɛn Agya, Asiria ahene asɛe aman ne wɔn nsase, ¹⁸na wɔatow wɔn anyame agu ogya mu; efisɛ na wɔnyɛ anyame, na mmom nnipa nsa ano adwuma, nnua ne abo. Enti wɔsɛee wɔn. ¹⁹Afei, yɛn Agya, gye yɛn fi ne nsam, na asase so ahenni nyinaa ahu sɛ wo nko ara ne Onyankopɔn.”

Agya no Brɛ Senakerib Ahantan Ase

²⁰Amos ba Yesaia de nkra kɔmaa Hesekia se, “Sɛɛ na yɛn Agya, Israel Nyankopɔn, se: Mate mpae a wobɔ kyerɛɛ me fa Asiria hene Senakerib ho no. ²¹Sɛɛ na yɛn Agya aka atia no: Sion Babea Ɔbaabun no bu wo animtiaa, di wo ho fɛw; Yerusalem Babea wosow ne ti wɔ wʼakyi. ²²Hena na woadi ne ho fɛw, akasa abu no animtiaa? Hena na woama wo nne so atia no ama wʼani so ahantan mu? Israel Kronkronni no! ²³Wode wʼabɔfo adi Otumfo Agya no ho fɛw, na woaka se: Me nteaseɛnam bebree so maforo mmepɔw atifi, Lebanon ntwea a ɛwɔ akyirikyiri. Matwa ne sida nnua atenten, ne kwaee nnua a eye sen biara. Madu ne sorɔnsorɔmu a ɛwɔ akyirikyiri, ne kwae a ɛyɛ kusuu. ²⁴Matutu abura na manom ananafo nsu; me nan ase na mede ama Misraim nsubɔnten nyinaa awewe. ²⁵Wontee anaa? Tete na meyɛɛ no; nna a atwam no na mehyehyɛɛ no. Afei mama aba mu, sɛ wobɛdan nkuropɔn a wɔabɔ ho ban ayɛ amamfo akuakuw. ²⁶Wɔn mu atefo a wɔn ahoɔden asa no, wɔn ho dwiriw wɔn, na wɔn ani wui. Na wɔte sɛ wuram afifide, sɛ nfifiriw mono a ɛyɛ mmerɛw, sɛ sare a efifi adan atifi, a ɛhyew ansa na anyin. ²⁷Nanso minim wo tena ase, wo fi adi ne wo ba mu, ne wo abufuw a wode tia me. ²⁸Wo abufuw a wode tia me ne wo ahantan a adu mʼaso nti, mede me darewa bɛhyɛ wo hwene mu, na mede me hama ahyɛ wʼano mu, na mɛma woasan afa ɔkwan a wofaa so bae no so.

²⁹Hesekia, yei ne wo sɛnkyerɛnne: afe yi munni nea efifi ankasa, afe a edi so no, nea efi mu fifi; afe a ɛto so abiɛsa no, monnua na montwa, monyɛ bobe nturo na munni mu aba. ³⁰Bio Yuda fi nkae a aka no bɛgye ntin wɔ fam na asow aba wɔ soro. ³¹Efisɛ efi Yerusalem mu nkae bi bɛba, na efi Sion Bepɔw so nnipa kakra a wɔadi nkwa bɛba. Ɔsoro asafo Agya no ahopere bɛma yei aba mu.

³²“Enti sɛɛ na yɛn Agya ka fa Asiria hene ho: Ɔrenhyɛn kurow yi mu, na ɔrentow agyan wɔ ha, na ɔremfa kyɛm mmɛhyia no, na ɔrensi asase pɔw ntia no. ³³Ɔkwan a ɔfaa so bae no so na ɔbɛsan afa; ɔrenhyɛn kurow yi mu, yɛn Agya na ɔka. ³⁴Mɛbɔ kurow yi ho ban na magye no, me ankasa nti ne me somfo Dawid nti.”

³⁵Anadwo no ara, yɛn Agya bɔfo no kɔɔ Asiria nsraban mu kunkum nnipa 185,000. Bere a wɔsɔree anɔpahema no—afunu no nyinaa deda hɔ. ³⁶Enti Asiria hene Senakerib bubuu nʼatenae, na ɔsan kɔe. Ɔsan kɔɔ Nineve kɔtenaa hɔ. ³⁷Bere a ɔresom wɔ ne nyame Nisrok asɔredan mu no, ne mma Adramelek ne Sareser de afoa kum no, na wɔdwane kɔɔ Ararat asase so. Ne ba Esarhadon na odii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
