29 UMoya kaYehova wamfikela uYifeta, wacanda eGiliyadi nakwaManase, wacanda naseMizpa yaseGiliyadi; wesuka eMizpa yaseGiliyadi, wabangenela oonyana baka-Amon.
30 UYifeta wabhambathisa kuYehova isibhambathiso, wathi, Ukuba ùthe wabanikela kanye oonyana baka-Amon esandleni sam, wóthi,
31 osukuba ephuma emnyango wendlu yam, eza kundikhawulela ekubuyeni kwam ngoxolo koonyana baka-Amon, abe ngokaYehova; ndimnyuse abe lidini elinyukayo.
32 Wagqitha ke uYifeta, waya koonyana baka-Amon ukuba alwe nabo. Wabanikela uYehova esandleni sakhe.
33 Wababulala kakhulu kunene, kwathabathela eArohere kwada kwaya eMiniti, imizi emashumi mabini, kwesa eAbhelekeramim. Bathotywa oonyana baka-Amon phambi koonyana bakaSirayeli.
34 Wafika uYifeta eMizpa endlwini yakhe; nantso intombi yakhe iphuma iza kumkhawulela, inengqongqo ingqungqa; yaye ikuphéla komntwana wakhe, ngaphandle kwayo wayengenanyana nantombi.
35 Kwathi akuyibona, wazikrazulu iingubo zakhe, wathi, Yini na le, ntombi yam! Ùndithobile kakhulu wena ungowabandihlisele intlekele Mna ndiwuvulile umlomo wam kuYehova; andinakubuya umva.
