Futhi yenza lokhu: Susa amakhosi onke, kube yileyo naleyo endaweni yayo, ubeke ababusi ezikhundleni zawo,

Emva kwalokho uSaneheribi inkosi yase -Asiriya wathuma izinceku za khe eJerusalema wayephambi kweLakishi nab o bonke ababusi benaye kuHezekiya inkosi yakwaJuda nakuye wonke uJuda waseJerusalema, wathi:

Kwavela kwa -Efrayimi abampande yabo ikuma -Amaleki; emva kwakho nguBenjamini phakathi kwabantu bakho . KwaMakiri kwavela ababusi , kwaZebuloni abaphethe intonga yomholi.

Kalokhu, bazalwane, ngiyazi ukuthi nenza lokho ngokungazi njengabo ababusi benu.

Kwathi ngangomuso kwabuthana eJerusalema ababusi namalunga nababhali babo,

Bakhumbuze ukuba bathobele ababusi neziphathimandla , balalele, balungele imisebenzi yonke emihle,

ebaphucile ababusi nabanamandla izikhali waba thela ngehlazo obala , ebanqoba ngaso. Ukuxwayisa ngezifundiso zamanga

Ngokuba ababusi abesabeki kwabenza okuhle , kodwa kwabenza okubi . Kepha uyathanda yini ukungesabi amandla ombuso na ? Yenza okuhle , uyakubongwa yiwo;

Bheka, ukhuluma obala , kabasho lutho kuye . Kungaba ngukuthi ababusi sebazi isibili ukuthi lo unguKristu na?

Wayesethi kubo : Ababusi bezizwe bazenza amakhosi phezu kwazo , neziphathimandla zazo zithiwa abazenzela okuhle.

Kepha uJesu wababiza , wathi: Niyazi ukuthi ababusi bezizwe bazenza amakhosi phezu kwazo, nezikhulu zazo ziphethe amandla phezu kwazo.

Abapristi abashongo ukuthi : U phi uJehova ? Abaphethe umthetho babengazi, ababusi baphamb uka kimi , abaprofethi baprofetha ngoBali , balandela okungenakusiza.

ngiyakulahla inzalo kaJakobe nekaDavide inceku yami, ukuze ngingathathi enzalweni yakhe ababusi benzalo ka -Abrahama, neka-Isaka, nekaJakobe, ngokuba ngiyakukubuyisa ukuthunjwa kwabo, ngibahawukele.

Ababusi babengazi lapho ngangiye khona nengikwenzileyo ; futhi ngangingakabatsheli abaJuda , nabapristi, nabakhulu, nababusi, nabanye ababewenza umsebenzi.

Kusukela kulolo suku inxenye yezinceku zami yasebenza emisebenzini , nenxenye yazo yaphatha imikhonto , nezihlangu, neminsalo, namabhantshi ensimbi; ababusi babe semva kwendlu yonke yakwaJuda.

Kepha ababusi bokuqala ababe phambi kw ami babebathwesile abantu , bathatha kubo isinkwa n ewayini kanye namashekeli angamashumi amane esiliva; nezinceku zachachaza phezu kwabantu ; kepha mina angenzanga kanjalo ngenxa yokumesaba uNkulunkulu.

Kuyena kuyakuphuma itshe legumbi , kuyena isikhonkwane , kuyena umnsalo wempi, kuyena bonke ababusi kanyekanye.

Ababusi bakwaJuda bayakusho ezinhliziyweni zabo ukuthi : Abakhileyo eJerusalema bangamandla ami kuJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu wabo.

Ngalolo suku ngiyakwenza ababusi bakwaJuda babe ngumcengezi womlilo phakathi kwemithi nobhaqa lomlilo phakathi kwezithungu ; bayakuqeda bonke abantu n xazonke ngakwesokunene nangakwesokhohlo , iJerusalema libe lisahlala endaweni yalo eJerusalema.
