| 1. | Kwasekusithi ensukwini zikaAhazi indodana kaJothamu, indodana kaUziya inkosi yakoJuda, uRezini inkosi yeSiriya kanye loPheka indodana kaRemaliya inkosi yakoIsrayeli wenyukela eJerusalema ukuya empini emelene layo, kodwa kabangalakho ukulwa layo. |
| 2. | Kwasekubikwa endlini kaDavida ukuthi iSiriya ihlangene loEfrayimi; inhliziyo yakhe lenhliziyo yabantu bakhe zasezinyikinyeka njengezihlahla zegusu zinyikinywa ngumoya. |
| 3. | I Nkosi yasisithi kuIsaya: Ake uphume u ye hlangabeza uAhazi, wena loSheyari-Yashubi indodana yakho, ekucineni komfolo wechibi elingaphezulu, emgwaqweni omkhulu wensimu yomwatshi, |
| 4. | uthi kuye: Nanzelela, uthule, ungesabi, lenhliziyo yakho ingabi buthakathaka ngenxa yemisila emibili yalezizikhuni ezithunqayo, ngenxa yokuvutha kolaka lukaRezini leSiriya, lendodana kaRemaliya. |
| 5. | Ngenxa yokuthi iSiriya, uEfrayimi, lendodana kaRemaliya, bacebise okubi ngawe, besithi: |
| 6. | Asenyukele koJuda, simesabise, sizifohlelele kuye, sibeke inkosi kuye, indodana kaTabeyeli. |
| 7. | Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Kakuyikuma, njalo kakuyikwenzeka. |
| 8. | Ngoba inhloko yeSiriya yiDamaseko, lenhloko yeDamaseko nguRezini; laphakathi kuseleminyaka engamatshumi ayisithupha lanhlanu uEfrayimi uzakwephulwa, angabi yisizwe. |
| 9. | Njalo inhloko kaEfrayimi yiSamariya, lenhloko yeSamariya yindodana kaRemaliya. Uba lingakholwa, isibili kaliyikuqiniswa. |
| 10. | I Nkosi yasiqhubeka ikhuluma kuAhazi isithi: |
| 11. | Zicelele isibonakaliso e Nkosi ni uNkulunkulu wakho; cela ekujuleni loba ekuphakameni phezulu. |
| 12. | Kodwa uAhazi wathi: Kangiyikucela, kangiyikulinga i Nkosi. |
| 13. | Wasesithi: Zwana-ke, ndlu kaDavida; kuyinto encinyane kakhulu kuwe yini ukuthi udinise abantu, ukuthi udinise loNkulunkulu wami? |
| 14. | Ngakho iNkosi uqobo izalinika isibonakaliso: Khangela, intombi emsulwa izathatha isisu, ibelethe indodana, ibize ibizo layo ngokuthi nguEmanuweli. |
| 15. | Uzakudla amasi loluju, ukuze azi ukwala okubi lokukhetha okuhle. |
| 16. | Ngoba umntwana engakakwazi ukwala okubi lokukhetha okuhle, ilizwe onengwa yilo lizatshiywa ngamakhosi alo amabili. |
| 17. | I Nkosi izaletha phezu kwakho laphezu kwabantu bakho laphezu kwendlu kayihlo insuku ezazingezanga kusukela esukwini uEfrayimi asuka ngalo koJuda; yinkosi yeAsiriya. |
| 18. | Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku i Nkosi ithi ssss empukaneni isephethelweni lwemifula yeGibhithe, lenyosini eselizweni leAsiriya. |
| 19. | Zizakuza-ke, ziphumule zonke ezigodini zamawa, lemifantwini yamadwala, lezihlahleni zonke zameva, lemadlelweni wonke. |
| 20. | Ngalolosuku iNkosi izaphuca ngensingo eyebolekwe, phetsheya komfula, yinkosi yeAsiriya, ikhanda loboya bezinyawo, futhi ihluthune lendevu. |
| 21. | Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku umuntu uzagcina kuphila ithokazi lezimvu ezimbili; |
| 22. | kuzakuthi-ke ngenxa yobunengi kochago ezilwehlisayo adle amasi; yebo, wonke oseleyo phakathi kwelizwe uzakudla amasi loluju. |
| 23. | Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku, yonke indawo lapho okwakukhona amavini ayinkulungwane ngenhlamvu zesiliva eziyinkulungwane, kube ngokwameva lokhula oluhlabayo. |
| 24. | Bazakuya khona ngemitshoko langedandili, ngoba ilizwe lonke lizakuba ngameva lokhula oluhlabayo. |
| 25. | Lazo zonke izintaba ezazilinywa ngekhuba kabayikuya kuzo ngo kwesaba ameva lokhula oluhlabayo; kodwa kuzakuba ngokokungenisa inkabi lokokunyathelwa yizimvu. |
