Elenga olya kwata po ondjila yaatungi yoonguwo pomukanka gwomeya ngoka tagu kutha omeya mondama yopombanda. 3 Aajuda yatatu oya yi yeke mu tsakaneke: elenga lyomuuwa Eliakim lyaHilkia, amushangampangu Shebna naamushangandjayi Joa yaAsaf. 4 Elenga enene lyomupangeli gwaAssur olya ti kuyo: “Lombwela Hiskia kutya omupangeli omunene gwaAssur ota ti ngeyi: ‘Einekelo lyoye olyo okwiinekela shike?’ 5 Otandi ti: ‘Moohapu dhanathangwa ohamu zi tuu omayele noonkondo pethimbo lyiita? Ngoye owi inekela lye, sho wa tsile ndje ondumbo? 6 Ngiika owi inekela Egipiti, ihe Egipiti olya fa enenge lya shandjuka tali tsu oshikaha shomuntu ngoka ti itsile ko. Omukwaniilwa gwaEgipiti osho a tya, ngele pe na ngoka te mu inekele.’ ”
7 Elenga enene olya tsikile ko tali ti: “Nenge otamu lombwele ndje mu tye, otwi inekela Omuwa, Kalunga ketu? Hamba, Hiskia ina hanagula po nani omaha gokunonomena niiyambelo yOmuwa, sho a lombwele Aajuda nAajerusalem, ya simaneke oshiyambelo shimwe ashike? 8 Medhina lyamwene gwandje, omupangeli gwaAssur, otandi mbetse nangoye. Otandi ku pe uukambe omayuvi gaali, ngele oto vulu oku u monena aakayili. 9 Ngoye ito gwana nando okumatukila elenga limwe eshona lyokuAssur, ndele natango owi inekela Egipiti te ku tumine omatembakwiita naakayilinkambe! 10 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.”
11 Eliakim, Shebna naJoa oya lombwele elenga ya ti: “Tatekulu, popya Oshiaramea, otu shi uvite. Ino popya Oshihebeli, aantu ayehe ye li kombanda yedhingililokuma otaye tu pulakene.”
12 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.”
13 Elenga olya thikama po e tali igidha mOshihebeli tali ti: “Pulakeneni sho omupangeli gwaAssur te mu lombwele! 14 Ote mu londodha, mwaa kotokelwe kuHiskia. Hiskia ita vulu oku mu hupitha. 15 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. 16 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 komiviinu dheni yene, oonkwiyu komikwiyu dheni yene nokunwa omeya momithima dheni yene, 17 sigo omupangeli te mu fala moshilongo sha faathana nosheni, moka mu na iitsambe yomiviinu tayi gandja omaviinu nomu na iilya yokuninga iikwiila. 18 Inamu tulwa muugoya kuHiskia, mu dhiladhile kutya Omuwa ote mu hupitha. Ookalunga yiigwana yilwe oya hupitha tuu iilongo yawo miikaha yomupangeli gwaAssur? 19 Ookalunga yaHamat noyaArpad oye li peni ngashingeyi? Ookalunga yaSefarvaim oye li peni? Oya hupitha tuu Samaria? 20 Uunake gumwe gwookalunga mbaka ya hupitha nando oshilongo shimwe shomuyo miikaha yomupangeli gwetu? Ndele nena oshike tashi mu dhiladhilitha kutya Omuwa ota hupitha Jerusalem?”
21 Aantu oya li ya tya thilu, naanaa ngaashi omukwaniilwa Hiskia e ya lombwele; inaa popye nando osha. 22 Nena Eliakim, Shebna naJoa oya tuula oonguwo dhawo moluhodhi e taa zi po e taa ka lombwela omukwaniilwa shoka elenga lyokuAssur lya ti.
