20 Ni boong akekei ao e a aoraki Etekia ao e a kaani mate.+ E roko te burabeti are Itaia are natin Amoti ao e taku nakoina, “E kangai ana taeka Iehova: ‘Aanga te kaetieti nakoia kaaini batam bwa ane ko nangi mate, ao ko na aki marurung.’”+
2 Ngaia are e katannako ni kaitaraa te oo ao e a tataro nakon Iehova ni kangai:
3 “I butiiko Iehova, ma taiaoka uringa arou n nakonako i matam ma te kakaonimaki ao te nano ae tabwanin raoi, ao I karaoa ae raoiroi i matam.”+ Ao e a korakai n tang Etekia.
4 Ngke e tuai n roko Itaia n te katawanang are i nukan ana baareti te uea, ao e a roko naba irouna ana taeka Iehova ae kangai:+
5 “Naako oki ao kangai nakon Etekia are te tia kairiri i aoia au aomata, ‘E kangai ana taeka Iehova ae Atuan Tawita are am bakatibu: “I ongo am tataro. I nori rannimatam.+ Ao ngkai N nang kamarurungko.+ Tenibong mangkai ao ko na waerake nakon ana auti Iehova.+
6 N na kaabwabwaka riki maium* n ririki aika 15, ao N na kamaiuko ma te kaawa aei mai nanoni bain uean Aturia,+ ao N na kamanoa te kaawa aei i bon ibukiu ao ibukin Tawita are au toro.”’”+
7 Ao e taku Itaia: “Uotii biiku aika bati aika buabuaaki aika mwau.” Mangaia are a uotii ao a kaaki i aon te kaboa, ao imwina e a ririkirake ni marurung.+
8 E titiraki Etekia nakon Itaia ni kangai: “Tera te kanikina+ ae e na kaotia bwa e na boni kamarurungai Iehova ao N na boni waerake nakon ana auti Iehova tenibong mangkai?”
9 E kaeka ni kangai Itaia: “Aio te kanikina mairoun Iehova ae e na kaotia nakoim bwa e na boni kakororaoa ana taeka Iehova are e a tia n taekinna: Ko tangira te nuu ae i aon te bwai n tamwarake bwa e na keerake tebwina te mwaneka, ke e na kerikaaki tebwina te mwaneka?”+
10 E taku Etekia: “Bon te bwai ae bebete ngkana e na keerake te nuu tebwina te mwaneka, ma e aki bebete ngkana e na kerikaaki te nuu tebwina te mwaneka.”
11 Ao Itaia are te burabeti e wetea Iehova, ao e karaoa te nuu are i aon ana bwai n tamwarake Aati bwa e na kerikaaki tebwina te mwaneka imwini kerikaakina i aon te bwai n tamwarake.+
12 N te tai anne ao e kanakoi reeta ma te bwaintangira Berotakabaratan are natini Baratan are ueani Baburon nakon Etekia, bwa e ongo ae e aoraki Etekia.+
13 E butimwaeiia* taan uataeka akekei Etekia ao e kaneweabaia ni nnen nako ana bwai aika kakawaki,+ aika tirewa, koora, oeran te batiam ma aeka ni bwaa riki aika rangi ni kakawaki, ana bwai ni buaka, ao bwaai ni kabane ake a kona n reke ni nnen ana bwai aika kakawaki. Akea te bwai teuana i nanon ana auti* Etekia ao n abana are e tautaekanna ni kabutaa ae e aki kaotia nakoia.
14 Imwin anne ao e a rin Itaia are te burabeti nakon te Uea are Etekia ao e titirakinna ni kangai: “Tera ae a taekinna mwaane aikai ao a roko mai ia?” Mangaia are e taku Etekia: “A roko man te aba ae raroa, mai Baburon.”+
15 Imwina ao e titiraki ni kangai: “Tera ae a noria i nanon am auti?”* E kaeka Etekia ni kangai: “A nori bwaai ni kabane aika n au auti.* Akea te bwai teuana ae I aki kaotia nakoia aika ni nnen au bwai aika kakawaki.”
16 E a taku ngkai Itaia nakon Etekia: “Ongora n ana taeka Iehova,+
17 ‘Noria! A nang roko boong ake a nang uotakinako iai bwaai ni kabane aika n am auti,* ma bwaai ni kabane ake a kawakin am bakatibu ni karokoa te bong aei nako Baburon.+ Akea ae e na katukaki,’ bon ana taeka Iehova.
18 ‘Ao a na kairakinako tabeman oin natim mwaane aika a na bungiaki,+ ao a na riki bwa mataniwi n ana baareti ueani Baburon.’”+
19 Ao e taku Etekia nakon Itaia: “E raoiroi ana taeka Iehova ane ko taekinna.”+ Ao e reitia ni kangai: “E raoiroi anne, ngkana e na iai te rau ma te mweraoi* n au tai ni maiu.”*+
20 Ni kaineti ngkanne ma nikiran rongorongon Etekia ma ana mwakuri aika korakora ni kabane, ao arona ni karaoa te nei+ ma kawain te ran, ao ni karokoa te ran i nanon te kaawa,+ tiaki a koreaki n te boki are rongorongon aia tai uean Iuta?
21 Ao e a wene ni motirawa Etekia i rarikia ana bakatibu,+ ao e a riki natina are Manate+ bwa te uea n onea mwina.+
