6 Bazithoba abathetheli bamaSirayeli nokumkani, bathi, Úlilungisa uYehova.
7 Akubona uYehova ukuba bazithobile, lafika ilizwi likaYehova kuShemaya, lisithi, Bazithobile; andiyi kubonakalisa; ndiya kubanika ukusinda ixeshana, bungàthululelwa ubushushu bam eYerusalem ngesandla sikaShishaki.
8 Noko boba ngabakhonzi kuye, ukuze bayazi inkonzo yam, nenkonzo yezikumkani zamazwe.
9 Wenyuka ke ukumkani waseYiputa, wafika walwa neYerusalem, wabuthabatha ubuncwane bendlu kaYehova, nobuncwane bendlu yokumkani; wabuthabatha bonke; wazithabatha iingweletshetshe zegolide awazenzayo uSolomon.
10 Ukumkani uRehabheham wenza iingweletshetshe zobhedu esikhundleni sazo, waziphathisa abathetheli bezigidimi, ezibe zigcina umnyango wendlu yokumkani.
11 Ubesakuthi akungena ukumkani endlwini kaYehova, zize izigidimi ezo ziziphéthe, zize zizibuyisele egumbini lezigidimi.
12 Wathi akuzithoba, umsindo kaYehova wabuya kuye, ukuba angàmtshabalalisi kuthi tu; kananjalo kwaYuda kwakukho izinto ezilungileyo.
