5 Ngokuba i-Aramu no-Efrayimi nendodana kaRemaliya bacebile okubi ngawe, bathi:
6 “Masikhuphukele kwelakwaJuda, silikhathaze, sizinqobele lona, sibeke inkosi phakathi kwalo, indodana kaThabeyeli,”
7 ngalokho isho iNkosi uNkulunkulu, ithi:“ ‘Akuyikuma, futhi akuyikwenzeka.
8 Ngokuba inhloko yase-Aramu iyiDamaseku,nenhloko yeDamaseku inguResini;phakathi kweminyaka engamashumiayisithupha nanhlanuu-Efrayimi uyakwaphulwa angabe esaba yisizwe.
9 Inhloko yakwa-Efrayimi iyiSamariya,inhloko yeSamariya iyindodana kaRemaliya.Uma ningakholwa,impela aniyikuma.’ ”
10 UJehova waqhubeka ukukhuluma ku-Ahazi, wathi:
11 “Zicelele isibonakaliso kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, kujule endaweni yabafileyo, noma kuphakame phezulu.”
