12 Abantu bam babùzisa kumthi wabo; nentonga yabo iyabaxelela; ngokuba umoya wobuhenyu ubalahlekisile; bahenyuzé bemka phantsi koThixo wabo.
13 Babingelela ezincotsheni zeentaba, baqhumisele ezindulini phantsi kwemioki* nemipopulari* nemiterebhinti,* kuba ulungile umthunzi wayo; ngenxa yoko ziyahenyuza iintombi zenu, bayakrexeza oomolokazana benu.
14 Andiyi kuzivelela iintombi zenu, ngokokuba zihenyuza; noomolokazana benu, ngokokuba bekrexeza. Ngokuba nina ngokwenu nithi gu bucala namahenyukazi nibingelela namang'awukazi; ngoko ke abantu abangaqondiyo baya kukhahleleka phantsi.
15 Ukuba ùyahenyuza, Sirayeli, makangazeki ityala uYuda; musani ukuya eGiligali, ningenyuki niye eBhetaven, ningafungi nithi, Ehleli nje uYehova.
16 Kuba uSirayeli uyinjubaqa, njengethokazi eliyinjubaqa; ngoku uYehova uya kubalusela emphangaleleni, njengamatakane.
17 UEfrayim ubophene nezithixo; myekeni.
18 Igabadelè imithayi yabo; bahenyuza behenyuzile; ziluthandé nzulu ucukucezo iingweletshetshe zabo.
