² uthi: ‘Yizwa izwi likaJehova, nkosi yakwaJuda, ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavide, wena nezinceku zakho nabantu bakho abangena ngala masango.

³ Usho kanje uJehova; Yenza ukulunga nokulunga, usindise ophangiwe esandleni somcindezeli; futhi ningenzi okubi, ningenzi ubudlova kumfokazi, nentandane noma kumfelokazi, futhi ningachithi igazi elingenacala kule ndawo.

⁴ Ngokuba uma nenza lokhu ngempela, kuyakungena ngamasango ale ndlu amakhosi ahlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavide, agibele izinqola namahhashi, yena nezinceku zakhe nabantu bakhe.

⁵ Kepha uma ningawezwa lawa mazwi, ngiyazifunga mina, usho uJehova, ukuthi le ndlu iyakuba yihlane.

⁶ Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova endlini yenkosi yakwaJuda, uthi: “UyiGileyadi kimi nenhloko yeLebanoni; nokho impela ngiyakukwenza ugwadule nemizi engahlalwa muntu.

⁷ Ngiyakunilungisela abachithi, kube yilowo nalowo abe nezikhali zakhe, bagawule imisedari yakho ekhethiweyo, bayiphonse emlilweni.

¹² Kodwa uyofela endaweni abamthumbe kuyo njengesiboshwa, futhi ngeke aphinde alibone leli zwe.

¹³ Maye kulowo owakha indlu yakhe ngobubi, namakamelo akhe ngobubi; osebenzisa umsebenzi womakhelwane wakhe ngaphandle kwenkokhelo futhi angamniki umsebenzi wakhe;

¹⁴ othi: Ngizazakhela indlu ebanzi lamakamelo amakhulu, ngimkhandele amafasitele; futhi lalimbozwe ngemisedari, lipendwe ngokubomvu.

¹⁵ Uyabusa, ngokuba uzimboze ngokhuni lomsedari na? Uyihlo akadlanga yini, anathe, enze ukwahlulela nokulunga, kwaba kuhle kuye na?

¹⁶ Walungisa icala labampofu nabampofu; kwase kuba kuhle kuye; kwakungesikho ukungazi mina? kusho uJehova.

¹⁷ Kodwa amehlo akho nenhliziyo yakho akukona nje kuphela ukuhaha kwakho nokuchitha igazi elingenacala nokucindezelwa nobudlova ukuze ukwenze.

¹⁸ Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova ngoJehoyakimi indodana kaJosiya, inkosi yakwaJuda, uthi: Bangaze bamkhalele bathi: Hawu, mfowethu! noma, O dadewethu! bangase bangabubuli ngaye bathi: “Awu, nkosi! noma: O inkazimulo yakhe!

²¹ Ngakhuluma kuwe usenenhlanhla; kodwa wena wathi: Kangifuni ukuzwa. Lokhu kwakuyindlela yakho kwasebusheni bakho, ukuthi awuzange ulalele izwi lami.

²² Umoya uyakuqeda bonke abelusi bakho, nezithandwa zakho ziya ekuthunjweni; impela lapho uyakuba namahloni, ube namahloni ngabo bonke ububi bakho.

²³ Wena owakhileyo eLebanoni, owakha isidleke sakho emisedarini, yeka ukuthi uzakuba lesihawu lapho ubuhlungu bukwehlela, ubuhlungu bobelethayo!

²⁴ Kuphila kwami, usho uJehova, noma uKhoniya, indodana kaJehoyakimi, inkosi yakwaJuda, ebeyindandatho yophawu esandleni sami sokunene, bengiyakukukhipha khona;
