3 Wathi uYowabhi kukumkani, Makongeze ke uYehova uThixo wakho ebantwini izihlandlo ezilikhulu, bengangoko bangako, abone namehlo enkosi yam ukumkani; ke yini na ukuba inkosi yam ukumkani iyifune le nto?
4 Laqina ilizwi lokumkani kuYowabhi nakubathetheli-mpi. Waphuma ke uYowabhi nabathetheli-mpi phambi kokumkani, baya kubabala abantu bakwaSirayeli.
5 Bawela eYordan, bamisa eArohere, ngasekunene komzi ophakathi kwesihlambo sakwaGadi naseYazere;
6 baya eGiliyadi nasezweni laseTatim-hodeshe, baya nakwaDan-yahan, bajikelezela kowakwaTsidon;
7 baya nasenqabeni yaseTire, nasemizini yonke yamaHivi neyamaKanan; baya baphuma kwelisezantsi lakwaYuda eBher-shebha.
8 Balityhutyha ke lonke ilizwe, beza eYerusalem ekupheleni kweenyanga ezisithoba ezineentsuku ezimashumi mabini.
9 UYowabhi wamnika ke ukumkani inani lokubalwa kwabantu: aza amaSirayeli aba ngamakhulu asibhozo amawaka amadoda anobukroti, arhola ikrele; amadoda akwaYuda aba ngamakhulu amahlanu amawaka amadoda.
