5 Wamisa abagwebi ezweni, emizini yonke yakwaYuda enqatyisiweyo, kwimizi ngemizi.
6 Wathi kubagwebi, Kulumkeleni enikwenzayo; ngokuba àkungenxa yomntu ukugweba kwenu, kungenxa kaYehova; unáni ke emcimbini wokugweba.
7 Ngoko ke ukoyikwa kukaYehova makube phezu kwenu; yenzani ngobulumko; ngokuba akukho bugqwetha kuYehova uThixo wethu, nakukhetha buso, nakwamkela sicengo.
8 Kananjalo eYerusalem uYehoshafati wamisa inxenye yabaLevi, nababingeleli, neentloko zezindlu zooyise zakwaSirayeli, ngenxa yogwebo lukaYehova, nangenxa yokubambana kwabantu. Babuyela kwaseYerusalem.
9 Wabawisela umthetho wathi, Niya kwenjenjalo ukumoyika uYehova ngokunyanisekileyo, nangentliziyo epheleleyo.
10 Zonke iindawo ekubanjwene ngazo eziza kuni, zivela kubazalwana benu, abahleli emizini yabo, phakathi kwegazi negazi, phakathi komyalelo nomthetho nemimiselo namasiko, nobakhanyisela; ukuze bangabi natyala kuYehova, bunganifikeli nina nabazalwana benu uburhalarhume bakhe; nenjenjalo, ukuze ningabi natyala.
11 Nanko uAmariya umbingeleli omkhulu, ephezu kwenu ezintweni zonke zikaYehova; noZebhadiya unyana kaIshmayeli, ingànga yendlu yakwaYuda, ezintweni zonke zokumkani; nabaLevi boba ngababhali phambi kwenu. Yomelelani nenze; uYehova woba nolungileyo kuni.
