11Bazizimathane zodwa abathetheli baseTsohan; amaphakathi alumkileyo kaFaro, icebo labo libubutyhakala. Ningáthini na ukuthi kuFaro, Ndingunyana wezilumko, ndingunyana wookumkani bamandulo? 12Ziphi na, ziphi na ke izilumko zakho? Mazikuxèlele kaloku, ziyazi into ayicebileyo uYehova wemikhosi ngeYiputa. 13Bazizimathane abathetheli baseTsohan, balukuhliwe abathetheli baseNofu; bayilahlekisile iYiputa abayimbombo yezizwe zayo. 14UYehova uthululele embilinini wayo umoya wobugwenxa, ukuba bayihlahlekise iYiputa ekwenzeni kwayo konke, njengokugxadazela kwenxila emhlanzweni walo. 15IYiputa ayiyi kuba nasenzo isenzayo intloko kwanomsila, isebe lesundu nomzí womlambo,
16Ngaloo mini amaYiputa aya kuba njengabafazi, agubhe, ankwantye phambi kokulingisa ngesandla kukaYehova wemikhosi, alingisa ngaso kuwo. 17Umhlaba wakwaYuda woyixhalabisa iYiputa; athi othe wawukhankanya kuyo, ankwantye, ngenxa yecebo likaYehova wemikhosi, alicebileyo ngayo.
18Ngaloo mini imizi emihlanu ezweni lamaYiputa iya kuthetha intetho yelakwaKanan, ifunge uYehova wemikhosi; omnye kuya kuthiwa yi-Ir-heres.•
19Ngaloo mini kuya kubakho isibingelelo kuYehova phakathi kwelizwe lamaYiputa, nelitye elimisiweyo kuYehova ngasemdeni walo. 20Oko koba ngumqondiso nobungqina kuYehova wemikhosi ezweni lamaYiputa; xa athe akhala kuYehova ngenxa yabaxinezeli bawo, wowathumela umsindisi nomthetheleli, awahlangule. 21UYehova uya kuzazisa kumaYiputa, amazi uYehova amaYiputa ngaloo mini, amkhonze ngemibingelelo nangeminikelo yokudla; abhambathise ngezibhambathiso kuYehova, azizalise. 22UYehova uya kuwabetha ke amaYiputa, ebetha ephilisa; abuyele kuYehova, yena athandazeke ngawo, awaphilise.
23Ngaloo mini kuya kubakho umendo ophuma eYiputa, oya eAsiriya; eze ama-Asiriya eYiputa, amaYiputa aye eAsiriya, akhonze uYehova amaYiputa kunye nama-Asiriya.
24Ngaloo mini amaSirayeli aya kuba sisahlulo sesithathu kumaYiputa nakuma-Asiriya, eyintsikelelo phakathi kwehlabathi; 25ewasikelela uYehova wemikhosi, esithi, Nisikelelwe, maYiputa, bantu bam; ma-Asiriya, msèbenzi wezandla zam; maSirayeli, lifa lam.
