6 Ngalona lolo suku uFaro wayala abaphathi babantu nezinduna zabo, wathi:
7 “Anisayikubanika abantu utshani bokwenza izitini njengaphambili; mabahambe bazibuthele utshani.
8 Kepha isilinganiso sezitini ekade besenza, bamiseleni sona, ningasinciphisi, ngokuba bayenqena; ngalokho bayakhala bathi: ‘Masihambe sihlabele uNkulunkulu wethu.’
9 Mayenziwe ibe nzima imisebenzi phezu kwabantu, bayisebenze, banganakekeli amazwi okukhohlisa.”
10 Baphuma-ke abaphathi babantu nezinduna zabo, bakhuluma kubantu, bathi: “UFaro usho uthi: ‘Angisayikuninika utshani.’
11 Hambani nina, nizifunele utshani, lapho ningabuthola khona, ngokuba imisebenzi yenu ayiyikuncishiswa ngalutho.”
12 Base behlakazeka abantu ezweni lonke laseGibithe ukuyobutha izinhlanga zibe yibona tshani babo.
