| 1. | I Nkosi yasisithi kimi: Zithathele isibhebhe esikhulu, ubhale kiso ngepheni yomuntu ukuthi: Maherishalali-Hashibazi. |
| 2. | Ngasengizifakazisela abafakazi abathembekileyo, oUriya umpristi loZekariya indodana kaJeberekiya. |
| 3. | Ngasengisondela umprofethikazi, wasethatha isisu, wazala indodana. I Nkosi yasisithi kimi: Umuthe ibizo lokuthi uMaherishalali-Hashibazi. |
| 4. | Ngoba umntwana engakakwazi ukumemeza athi baba, lokuthi, mama, inotho yeDamaseko lempango yeSamariya kuzathwalelwa phambi kwenkosi yeAsiriya. |
| 5. | I Nkosi yasibuya yakhuluma lami futhi isithi: |
| 6. | Ngenxa yokuthi lesisizwe siwalile amanzi eShilowa ahamba kancinyane, njalo kulentokozo kuRezini lendodana kaRemaliya, |
| 7. | ngakho-ke, khangela, iNkosi izakwenyusela phezu kwabo amanzi omfula amanengi lalamandla - inkosi yeAsiriya labo bonke ubukhosi bayo; azakwenyukela phezu kwaso yonke imigelo yaso, ahambe phezu kwazo zonke inkumbi zaso, |
| 8. | aze adlulele koJuda; akhukhule, adlule, afinyelele entanyeni; lokweluleka kwempiko zawo kuzagcwalisa ilizwe lakho, Emanuweli. |
| 9. | Zihlanganiseni, zizwe, kodwa liphahlazwe; bekani indlebe, lina lonke abezizwe ezikhatshana; zibhinceni, kodwa liphahlazwe. |
| 10. | Cebani icebo, kodwa lizafojiswa; khulumani ilizwi, kodwa kaliyikuma; ngoba uNkulunkulu ulathi. |
| 11. | Ngoba yatsho njalo I Nkosi kimi ngesandla esilamandla, yangifundisa ukuthi ngingahambi endleleni yalababantu, isithi: |
| 12. | Lingatsho ukuthi: Ugobe, kubo bonke lababantu abathi ngabo: Ugobe; lingesabi ukwesaba kwabo, lingatshaywa luvalo. |
| 13. | I Nkosi yamabandla, yona lizayingcwelisa, njalo yona ibe ukwesaba kwenu, njalo yona ibe luvalo lwenu. |
| 14. | Njalo izakuba yindawo engcwele, kodwa ibe yilitshe lokukhubekisa, ibe lidwala lokuwisa kuzo zombili izindlu zakoIsrayeli, ibe ngumjibila ibe yisifu kwabakhileyo eJerusalema. |
| 15. | Labanengi bazakhubeka phakathi kwabo, bawe, bephuke, bathiywe, bathunjwe. |
| 16. | Bopha ubufakazi, unameke umlayo phakathi kwabafundi bami. |
| 17. | Ngakho ngizalindela iNkosi efihlela indlu kaJakobe ubuso bayo, ngiyidinge. |
| 18. | Khangela mina labantwana i Nkosi enginike bona siyizibonakaliso lezimangaliso koIsrayeli, ezivela e Nkosi ni yamabandla ehlala entabeni yeZiyoni. |

| 20. | Kuwo umthetho lakubo ubufakazi! Uba bengakhulumi njengalelilizwi, kungokuba kakukho ukukhanya kubo. |
| 21. | Uzadabula kukho, ecindezelwe kakhulu elambile; kuzakuthi-ke elambile ezondile, athuke inkosi yakhe loNkulunkulu wakhe, akhangela phezulu. |
| 22. | Lapho ezakhangela emhlabeni, khangela-ke, kuzakuba lokuhlupheka lomnyama, ubumnyama benkathazo, njalo axotshelwe emnyameni. |
