1 Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi:
2 “Ndodana yomuntu, kwakukhona abesifazane ababili, amadodakazi omfazi munye.
3 Babefeba eGibithe, bafeba ebusheni babo; bapotozwa khona amabele abo, zacindezelwa khona izingono zobuntombi babo.
4 Amagama abo ayengu-Ohola, omkhulu, no-Oholiba udadewabo; baba ngabami, bazala amadodana namadodakazi. Amagama abo: iSamariya lingu-Ohola, neJerusalema lingu-Oholiba.
5 “U-Ohola wafeba esengowami, wakhanukela izithandwa zakhe, abase-Asiriya, abakhelwane bakhe,
6 ababembethe okuluhlaza, izinduna nababusi, izinsizwa ezinxanelekayo zonke, izinkweli ezikhwele amahhashi.
