7 Ayesesuka, abaleka kuhwelela, ashiya amatende awo, namahhashi awo, nezimbongolo zawo, nekamu* linjengalokhu linjalo, abaleka ukuba asinde.
8 Labo abanochoko sebefike emaphethelweni ekamu,* bangena kwelinye itende, badla, baphuza, basusa khona isiliva, negolide, nezingubo, baya bakuthukusa; babuya, bangena kwelinye itende, basusa nakhona, baya bakuthukusa.
9 Base bethi omunye komunye: “Asenzi kahle. Lolu suku lwanamuhla lungusuku lwentokozo; uma sithula nje silinda kuze kube sekuntweleni kokusa, siyakuficwa yicala; ngalokho masihambe, sitshele indlu yenkosi.”
10 Base behamba, babiza abalindisango bomuzi, babatshela ukuthi: “Sike safika ekamu* lama-Aramu; bheka, kwakungekho muntu lapho, nazwi lomuntu, kuphela ngamahhashi aboshiweyo, nezimbongolo eziboshiweyo, namatende enjengalokhu enjalo.”
11 Abalindisango bamemeza, babikela indlu yenkosi ngaphakathi.
12 Inkosi yavuka phakathi kobusuku, yathi ezincekwini zayo: “Ake nginitshele lokhu ama-Aramu asenzela khona. Ayazi ukuthi silambile; ngalokho aphumile ekamu* ukuba acashe, ethi: ‘Lapho bephuma emzini, siyakubabamba besezwa, singene emzini.’ ”
13 Enye yezinceku zayo yaphendula yathi: “Makuthathwe amahhashi ayisihlanu aseleyo, asele lapha bheka, anjengesixuku sonke sakwa-Israyeli esisele lapha, anjengesixuku sonke sakwa-Israyeli esesiphelile sithumele, sibone.”
