6 uyakulibuyisa ixhukazana, liphindwe kane, ngokuba enze lokho nangokuba wayengenasihawu.”
7 UNathani wathi kuDavide: “Nguwe lowo muntu. Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: ‘Ngakugcoba ube yinkosi phezu kuka-Israyeli, ngakophula esandleni sikaSawule,
8 ngakunika indlu yenkosi yakho, nabafazi benkosi yakho esifubeni sakho, ngakupha indlu yakwa-Israyeli neyakwaJuda; uma lokho bekukuncane, ngangiyakukwenezela lokhu nalokho.
9 Udeleleleni izwi likaJehova ukuba wenze okubi emehlweni akhe na? Ubulele u-Uriya umHeti ngenkemba, wathatha umkakhe abe ngumkakho, wambulala ngenkemba yabantwana bakwa-Amoni.
10 Ngalokho inkemba ayiyikusuka endlini yakho, ngokuba ungidelele, wathatha umka-Uriya umHeti ukuba abe ngumkakho.’
11 “Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: ‘Bheka, ngiyakukuvusela okubi okuvela endlini yakho, ngithathe abafazi bakho phambi kwamehlo akho, ngibanike umakhelwane wakho, alale nabafazi bakho ekukhanyeni kwaleli langa.
12 Ngokuba wena wakwenza ngasese, kepha mina ngiyakukwenza lokhu phambi kuka-Israyeli wonke naphambi kwelanga.’ ”
