Olya li lya wilikwa komalenga omanene gatatu. Sho ga thiki kuJerusalem, oga kwata po ondjila yaatungi yoonguwo, pomukanka gwomeya ngoka tagu kutha omeya mondama yopombanda, 18 noga tumu komukwaniilwa Hiskia. Elenga lyomuuwa Eliakim lyaHilkia, amushangampangu Shebna na amushangandjayi Joak yaAsaf oya yi kugo. 19 Elenga enene lyomupangeli gwaAssur olya ti kuyo: “Lombweleni Hiskia kutya omupangeli omunene gwaAssur ota ti ngeyi: ‘Einekelo lyoye olyo okwiinekela shike? 20 Oto tengeneke ngiika kutya moohapu dhanathangwa ohamu zi omayele noonkondo miita. Ngoye owi inekela lye, sho wa tsa ondumbo nangame? 21 Ngiika owi inekela Egipiti, ihe olya fa enenge lya shandjuka tali ulula oshikaha shomuntu ngoka ti itsile ko. Omukwaniilwa gwaEgipiti osho a tya, ngele pe na ngoka te mu inekele.’ ”
22 Elenga enene olya tsikile ko tali ti: “Nenge otamu lombwele ndje mu tye, otwi inekela Omuwa, Kalunga ketu? Nani Hiskia ina hanagula po omahala gokunonoma niiyambelo yOmuwa ngoka, sho a lombwele Aajuda nAajerusalem, ya simaneke ashike oshiyambelo shomuJerusalem? 23 Medhina lyamwene gwandje, omupangeli gwaAssur, otandi ku uvanekele, ndi ku pe uukambe omayuvi gaali, ngele oto vulu oku u monena aakayili yawo. 24 Ngoye ito gwana nando okumatukila elenga limwe eshona lyokuAssur, ndele natango omwi inekela Egipiti te ku tumine omatembakwiita naakawilinkambe! 25 Nenge oto dhiladhila kutya onda homona oshilongo shika noku shi hanagula po ndaa na eutho lyOmuwa? Omuwa oye mwene a lombwele ndje, ndi shi matukile, ngame ndi shi hanagule po.”
26 Nena Eliakim, Shebna naJoah oya lombwele elenga ya ti: “Tatekulu, popya Oshiaramea, otu shi uvite. Ino popya Oshihebeli, aantu ayehe kombanda yedhingililokuma otaye tu pulakene.”
27 Elenga olya yamukula lya ti: “Oto dhiladhila kutya mwene gwandje okwa tumu ndje kumwene gwoye nokungoye amuke, ndi popye oohapu ndhika? Aawoo, ondi na okulombwela wo aantu mboka ye li kekuma, mboka ye na okulya omapumba gawo notaa nu omasita gawo, naanaa ngaashi ne.”
28 Nena elenga olya thikama po e tali igidha mOshihebeli tali ti: “Pulakeneni sho omupangeli gwaAssur te mu lombwele! 29 Ote mu londodha, mwaa kotokelwe kuHiskia. Hiskia ita vulu oku mu hupitha. 30 Inamu pitika, e mu heke mu inekele Omuwa. Inamu dhiladhila kutya Omuwa ote ke mu hupitha, nenge a keelele omatangakwiita getu gaAssur okukwata po oshilando sheni. 31 Inamu pulakena Hiskia. Omupangeli gwaAssur ote mu lombwele, mu pite mo moshilando, mu ye pondje ne mu igandje. Amuhe otamu ka pitikilwa, mu lye omandjembele koomviinu dheni yene, oonkwiyu komikwiyu dheni yene nokunwa omeya momithima dheni yene, 32 sigo omupangeli te mu fala moshilongo sha faathana nosheni yene, moka mu na iitsambe yomiviinu tayi gandja omaviinu nomu na iilya yokuninga iikwiila; olyo evi lyomiolivi, lyomagadhi gooholivi nolyomagadhi goonyushi. Ngele tamu ningi shoka ta ti, itamu ka sa, ihe otamu kala mu na omwenyo. Inamu tulwa muugoya kuHiskia, mu dhiladhile kutya Omuwa ote mu hupitha. 33 Ookalunga yiigwana yilwe oya hupitha tuu iilongo yawo miikaha yomupangeli gwaAssur? 34 Ookalunga yaHamat noyaArpad oye li peni ngashingeyi? Ookalunga yaSefarvaim, yaHena noyaIvva oye li peni? Ope na tuu shoka sha hupitha Samaria? 35 Uunake gumwe gwomookalunga mbaka a hupitha nando oshilongo shimwe shomuyo miikaha yomupangeli gwetu? Ndele nena oshike tashi mu dhiladhilitha kutya Omuwa ota hupitha Jerusalem?”
36 Aantu oya li ya tya thilu, naanaa ngaashi omukwaniilwa Hiskia e ya lombwele; inaa popya sha nando. 37 Nena Eliakim, Shebna naJoah oya tuula oonguwo dhawo moluhodhi e taa zi po e taa ka lombwela omukwaniilwa shoka elenga lyokuAssur lya ti.
