Kaloku ke, yenza ilizwi endolibuyisela kondithumileyo. |
| 13. | Wathi uDavide kuGadi, Ndididekile kunene; masendisiwa esandleni sikaYehova, ngokuba ininzi imfesane yakhe; mandingaweli esandleni somntu. |

| 17. | Wathi uDavide kuThixo, Asindim yini na othe mababalwe abantu? Yaba ndim ke owonileyo, ndenza ububi ukwenza oko; ke ezi zimvu zenze ntoni na zona? Yehova Thixo wam, isandla sakho masifikele mna, nendlu kabawo, singabi kubantu bakho, ukuba babulawe. |
| 18. | Sathi isithunywa sikaYehova kuGadi, Makatsho kuDavide, enyuke uDavide, amisele uYehova isibingelelo esandeni sikaOrnan umYebhusi. |
| 19. | Wenyuka uDavide ngelizwi likaGadi, awalithethayo egameni likaYehova. |
| 20. | Wathi guququ uOrnan, wasibona isithunywa; oonyana bakhe abane ababenaye bazimela; ke uOrnan wayebhula ingqolowa. |
| 21. | Xa uDavide wayesiza kuOrnan, uOrnan wabheka wabona uDavide, waphuma esandeni, waqubuda kuDavide, ebhekise ubuso bakhe emhlabeni. |
| 22. | Wathi uDavide kuOrnan, Ndinike le ndawo yesanda, ndimakhele uYehova khona isibingelo; wondinika ngenani elizeleyo, sithintelwe isibetho ebantwini. |
| 23. | Wathi uOrnan kuDavide, Yithabathele kuwe, inkosi yam ukumkani yenze okulungileyo emehlweni ayo; khangela, ndikunika iinkomo ezi ukuba zibe ngamadini anyukayo, nempahla yokubhula ibe ziinkuni, nengqolowa ukuba ibe ngumnikelo wokudla; ndikunika konke oko. |
| 24. | Wathi ukumkani uDavide kuOrnan, Hayi; ndiya kusithenga ngexabiso elizalisekileyo; ngokuba andiyi kumthabathela nto iyeyakho uYehova, ndinyuse amadini anyukayo endiwazuze ngelize. |
| 25. | UDavide wamnika uOrnan ngaloo ndawo iishekele zegolide ezibunzima bumakhulu mathandathu. |
| 26. | Wakhela apho ke uDavide isibingelelo kuYehova, wanyusa amadini anyukayo nemibingelelo yoxolo, wanqula uYehova; waza yena wamphendula ngomlilo ovela ezulwini, phezu kwesibingelelo sedini elinyukayo. |
| 27. | Wathetha uYehova kwisithunywa, salibuyisela esingxobeni ikrele laso. |
| 28. | Ngelo xesha, akubona uDavide ukuba uYehova umphendule esandeni sikaOrnan umYebhusi, wamana ebingelela khona. |
| 29. | Ke umnquba kaYehova, awa wenzayo uMoses entlango, nesibingelelo sedini elinyukayo, bezisesigangeni eGibheyon ngelo xesha. |
| 30. | UDavide ubengenakuya phambi kwawo amquqele uThixo; ngokuba ubesoyika ikrele lesithunywa sikaYehova. |
