10 Ukumkani wamaSirayeli wathumela kuloo ndawo, abemxelele yona umfo wakwaThixo, embonisa; wazikhusela khona, akwaba kanye nakabini.
11 Yabhabhama intliziyo yokumkani wakwa-Aram yiloo nto; wabiza abakhonzi bakhe, wathi kubo. Ànindixeleli na ukuba ngubani na kuthi apha, ongakukumkani wakwaSirayeli?
12 Wathi omnye wakubakhonzi bakhe, Asisithi, nkosi yam kumkani; ke nguElisha, umprofeti okwaSirayeli, oxelela ukumkani wamaSirayeli amazwi owathetha usengontsini yakho yokulala.
13 Wathi, Yiyani, nikhangele apho akhona; ndithumèle, ndimthabathe. Waxelelwa kwathiwa, Nanko eDotan.
14 Wathumela khona amashashe, neenqwelo zokulwa, nempi eninzi; baya ebusuku, bawungqinga umzi.
15 Wavuka kusasa umlungiseleli womfo wakwaThixo, wesuka waphuma, nantso impi iwujikelezile umzi, inamahashe neenqwelo zokulwa. Wathi umfana lowo kuye, Yoo, nkosi yam, siya kuthini na?
16 Wathi yena, Musa ukoyika; ngokuba baninzi abangakuthi, ngaphezu kwabangakubo.
