2 Wathi uYehova, Konyuka uYuda: yabonani, ndilinikele ilizwe esandleni sakhe.
3 Wathi uYuda kuSimon umkhuluwa wakhe, Nyuka nam, siye eqashisweni lam silwe namaKanan; nam ndoya nawe eqashisweni lakho. USimon wahamba naye ke.
4 Wenyuka ke uYuda; uYehova wawanikela amaKanan namaPerizi esandleni sabo. Bawabulala eBhezeki amadoda angamawaka alishumi.
5 UAdoni waseBhezeki bamfumana eBhezeki, balwa naye, bawabulala amaKanan namaPerizi.
6 Wasaba uAdoni waseBhezeki; bamsukela, bambamba, bamnqumla oozithupha noobhontsi.
7 Wathi uAdoni waseBhezeki, Ookumkani abamashumi asixhenxe babechola phantsi kwetafile yam, benqunyulwe oozithupha noobhontsi; njengoko ndenza ngako, wenjénjalo uThixo ukubuyekeza kum. Bamsa eYerusalem, wafela khona.
8 Ke kaloku oonyana bakaYuda balwa neYerusalem, bayithimba, bayibulala ngohlangothi lwekrele, bathi umzi bawufaka umlilo.
