3 Kwaphuma kwaya kuye uEliyakim unyana kaHilekiya, umphathi wendlu, noShebhena umbhali, noYowa unyana ka-Asafu, umkhumbuzi wezinto zakomkhulu.
4 Wathi kubo uRabheshake, Khanithi kuHezekiya, Utsho ukumkani omkhulu, ukumkani waseAsiriya, ukuthi, Yeyani na le nkoloseko ukholose ngayo?
5 Ndithi mna, lilizwi lomlomo wodwa iqhinga lakho nobugorha bakho bemfazwe; okungoku ke ukholose ngabani na, ugwilike kum nje?
6 Uyabona, ukholose ngaloo msimelelo wengcongolo evikivekileyo, iYiputa, ethi, othe wayama ngayo, ingene esandleni sakhe, imhlabe; únjalo uFaro ukumkani weYiputa kubo bonke abakholse ngaye.
7 Ke ukuba uthi kum, Sikholose ngoYehova uThixo wethu, ndithi, Asinguye na lo uzigánga nezibingelelo azisusileyo uHezekiya, wathi kumaYuda nakwiYerusalem, Ize niqubude phambi kwesi sibingelelo sodwa?
8 Khawubekelane kaloku nenkosi yam, ukumkani waseAsiriya; ndokunika amawaka amabini amahashe, ukuba unako ngecala lakho ukukhupha abakhweli bokukhwela kuwo.
9 Wòthini na ukubujika ubuso benkosana enye, yakubo abancinane babakhonzi benkosi yam, ukholòse ngeYiputa, ngeenqwelo zokulwa nangabamahashe?
