16 Kwathi, ukususela kuloo mini, esinye isiqingatha samadodana akwam sasebenza emsebenzini, esinye isiqingatha saphatha izikhali, neengweletshetshe, izaphetha, neengubo zentsimbi; kananjalo abaphathi babeyixhasile yonke indlu kaYuda.
17 Ke aba babesakha eludongeni, nabathwala imithwalo, babethwala ngesinye isandla esibe sisebenza emsebenzini, baphathe izikhali ngesinye;
18 nabakhi babesakha, benxibe elowo ikrele lakhe esinqeni sakhe. Ovuthela isigodlo ubesecaleni lam.
19 Ndathi kubanumzana, nakubaphathi, nakwabanye abantu, Umsebenzi lo mkhulu, ubanzi; thina sithe saa eludongeni, omnye ekude komnye.
20 Endaweni enithe neva ilizwi lesigodlo, nobuthelana kuyo kum; uThixo wosilwela.
21 Sasisebenza emsebenzini, isiqingatha sawo siphethe izikhali, siqalela ekuphumeni kwesifingo, sizise ekuveleni kweenkwenkwezi.
22 Kananjalo ndathi ngelo xesha ebantwini, Elowo nendodana yakwakhe makalale phakathi eYerusalem ebusuku, ukuze babe ngabalindi kuthi ebusuku, emini babe semsebenzini.
