2 Wathetha phambi kwabazalwana bakhe nempi yakwaSamari, wathi, Enza ntoni na la maYuda antshwenyileyo? ozinqabisa na? obingelela na? ogqiba namhla na? owavusa na amatye kwezi mfumba zothuli, etshile nje?
3 Ke uTobhiya umAmon, engakuye, wathi, Nale nto ayakhayo, kungáthi kunyuke impungutye le, iluqhekeze udonga lwawo lwamatye.
4 Yiva, Thixo wethu; ngokuba sideliwe, ukubuyisele ezintlokweni zabo ukungcikiva kwabo, ubanikele ekuphangweni elizweni labathinjwa.
5 Musa ukubuselela ubugwenxa babo; musa ukusicima isono sabo phambi kwakho; ngokuba bakuqumbisile phambi kwabakhi.
6 Salwakha ke udonga, lwadityaniswa lonke udonga, kwesa esiqingatheni sokuphakama kwalo. Abantu babenentliziyo yokusebenza.
7 Kwathi, akuva uSanebhalati, noTobhiya, nama-Arabhi, nama-Amon, nama-Ashdode, ukuba ziyenyuswa iindonga zeYerusalem; ukuba ziqaliwe, ziyavingcwa iintanda: wavutha umsindo wabo kunene.
8 Bacebisana kunye bonke bephela, ukuba beze kulwa neYerusalem, bayonakalise.
