| 1. | Ke kaloku wenyuka uNahashe, umAmon, wayingqinga iYabheshe yaseGiliyadi. Athi onke amadoda aseYabheshe kuNahashe, Simisele umnqophiso, sikukhonze. |
| 2. | Wathi kuwo uNahashe umAmon, Ndiya kunimisela umnqophiso wokuthi, ndinikrukre nonke iliso lasekunene, ndikubeke oko phezu kwamaSirayeli onke, kube sisingcikivo. |
| 3. | Athi kuye amadoda amakhulu aseYabheshe, Siyeke iintsuku ezisixhenxe, sithume abathunywa emideni yonke yakwaSirayeli; sithi, ukuba akubangakho usisindisayo, siphume size kuwe. |
| 4. | Bafika abathunywa eGibheha yakwaSawule, bawathetha loo mazwi ezindlebeni zabantu; baliphakamisa bonke abantu izwi labo, balila. |
| 5. | Nanko uSawule, ehamba emva kweenkomo, evela ezindle; wathi uSawule, Banantoni na abantu, belila nje? Bamxelela ke amazwi amadoda aseYabheshe. |
| 6. | UMoya kaYehova wamfikela ngamandla uSawule ekuwaveni kwakhe la mazwi, wavutha umsindo wakhe kunene. |
| 7. | Wathabatha iinkomo zambini, wazityatya, wathumela emideni yonke yakwaSirayeli ngesandla sabathunywa, esithi, Ongathanga aphume alandele uSawule, alandele uSamuweli, ziya kwenjiwa nje iinkomo zakhe. Abantu bafikelwa kukunkwantya nguYehova, baphuma njengandoda-nye. |
| 8. | Wababala eBhezeki; oonyana bakaSirayeli bangamawaka angamakhulu amathathu, namadoda akwaYuda angamawaka angamashumi amathathu. |
| 9. | Bathi kubathunywa abafikileyo, Yitshoni kumadoda aseYabheshe yaseGiliyadi ukuthi, Ngomso ukufudumala kwelanga, niya kukhululwa. Bemka abathunywa, bawaxelela amadoda aseYabheshe; avuya ke. |
| 10. | Athi amadoda aseYabheshe, Ngomso siya kuphuma size kuni; nenze kuthi ngako konke okulungileyo emehlweni enu. |
| 11. | Kwathi ngengomso uSawule wabamisa abantu bazizihlwele ezithathu, bafika phakathi kwempi ngomlindo wokusa, bawabulala ama-Amon yada yafudumala imini. Kwathi aseleyo aphangalaliswa; akwasala kuwo nokuba abe mabini ndaweni-nye. |
| 12. | Bathi abantu kuSamuweli, Ngoobanina abo babesithi, USawule uya kuba ngukumkani kuthi na? Waziseni loo madoda, siwabulale. |
| 13. | Wathi uSawule, Makungabulawa mntu namhla; ngokuba namhla uYehova wenze usindiso kwaSirayeli. |
| 14. | Wathi uSamuweli ebantwini, Hambani, siye eGiligali, sibusungule khona ubukumkani. |
| 15. | Baya ke bonke abantu eGiligali; bamenza ukumkani uSawule phambi koYehova eGiligali apho; wabingelela apho imibingelelo yoxolo phambi koYehova. Bavuya kunene apho ooSawule namadoda onke akwaSirayeli. |
