| 1. | Kwathi ngomnyaka weshumi elinesine wokumkani uHezekiya, kwenyuka uSaneribhe ukumkani waseAsiriya, waya kuyo yonke imizi yakwaYuda enqatyisiweyo, wayithimba. |
| 2. | Ukumkani waseAsiriya wasusa uRabheshake eLakishe, ukuba aye eYerusalem kukumkani uHezekiya, enempi enzima. Wafika wema emjelweni wechibi lasentla, ongasemendweni wentsimi yomsuki weengubo. |
| 3. | Kwaphuma kwaya kuye uEliyakim unyana kaHilekiya, umphathi wendlu, noShebhena umbhali, noYowa unyana ka-Asafu, umkhumbuzi wezinto zakomkhulu. |
| 4. | Wathi kubo uRabheshake, Khanithi kuHezekiya, Utsho ukumkani omkhulu, ukumkani waseAsiriya, ukuthi, Yeyani na le nkoloseko ukholose ngayo? |
| 5. | Ndithi mna, lilizwi lomlomo wodwa iqhinga lakho nobugorha bakho bemfazwe; okungoku ke ukholose ngabani na, ugwilike kum nje? |
| 6. | Uyabona, ukholose ngaloo msimelelo wengcongolo evikivekileyo, iYiputa, ethi, othe wayama ngayo, ingene esandleni sakhe, imhlabe; unjalo uFaro ukumkani weYiputa kubo bonke abakholose ngaye. |
| 7. | Ke ukuba uthi kum, Sikholose ngoYehova uThixo wethu, ndithi, Asinguye na lo uziganga nezibingelelo azisusileyo uHezekiya, wathi kumaYuda nakwiYerusalem, Ize niqubude phambi kwesi sibingelelo sodwa? |
| 8. | Khawubekelane kaloku nenkosi yam, ukumkani waseAsiriya; ndokunika amawaka amabini amahashe, ukuba unako ngecala lakho ukukhupha abakhweli bokukhwela kuwo. |
| 9. | Wothini na ukubujika ubuso benkosana enye, yakubo abancinane babakhonzi benkosi yam, ukholose ngeYiputa, ngeenqwelo zokulwa nangabamahashe? |
| 10. | Ngokunje ndinyuke ndeza kulonakalisa eli lizwe, ndingenaye uYehova, yini na? UYehova uthe kum, Nyuka uye kweli lizwe, ulonakalise. |
| 11. | Bathi ooEliyakim noShebhena noYowa kuRabheshake, Khawuthethe kubakhonzi bakho ngesiAram, kuba sisiva sona; musa ukuthetha kuthi ngesiYuda ezindlebeni zabantu abaseludongeni. |
| 12. | Wathi uRabheshake, Inkosi yam indithume ukuba ndiwathethe la mazwi enkosini yakho nakuwe, yini na? Asikula madoda ahleli eludongeni yini na, ukuze adle ilindle lawo, asele umchamo wawo nani? |
| 13. | Wema uRabheshake, wadanduluka ngezwi elikhulu ngesiYuda, wathi, Waveni amazwi okumkani omkhulu, okumkani waseAsiriya. |
| 14. | Uthi ukumkani, Makanganilukuhli uHezekiya, ngokuba akayi kuba nako ukunihlangula. |
| 15. | Makanganikholosisi ngoYehova uHezekiya, esithi, Inene, uya kusihlangula uYehova; lo mzi awusayi kunikelwa esandleni sokumkani waseAsiriya. |
| 16. | Musani ukumphulaphula uHezekiya, ngokuba utsho ukumkani waseAsiriya ukuthi, Xolisanani nam, niphume nize kum, nidle elowo umdiliya wakhe, elowo umkhiwane wakhe, nisele elowo amanzi equla lakhe; |
| 17. | ndide ndize ndinise ezweni elinjengelizwe lenu, ilizwe lengqolowa newayini entsha, ilizwe lesonka nezidiliya. |
| 18. | Ize nilumke hleze aninyange uHezekiya, esithi, UYehova uya kusihlangula. Oothixo beentlanga balihlangule na elowo ilizwe lakhe esandleni sokumkani waseAsiriya? |
| 19. | Baphi na oothixo baseHamati neArpadi? baphi na oothixo baseSefarvayim, ukuba bangabi balihlangule elakwaSamari esandleni sam? |
| 20. | Nguwuphi na koothixo bonke bala mazwe olihlanguleyo ilizwe lakhe esandleni sam, ukuba ade uYehova ayihlangule iYerusalem esandleni sam? |
| 21. | Bathi tu, abamphendula nazwi; ngokuba umthetho wokumkani wona ubusithi, Nize ningamphenduli. |
| 22. | Weza ke uEliyakim unyana kaHilekiya, umphathi wendlu, noShebhena umbhali, noYowa unyana ka-Asafu, umkhumbuzi wezinto zakomkhulu, kuHezekiya, bezikrazule iingubo zabo, bamxelela amazwi kaRabheshake. |
