4 Ngobe atawukwenta kutsi emadvodzana enu afulatsele Nkulunkulu bese akhonta labanye bonkulunkulu,+ futsi intfukutselo yaJehova itawunivutsela, anibhubhise ngekushesha niphele nya.+

16 Jehova wabese utsi kuMosi: “Wena sewutakufa,* futsi labantfu batawucala kungetsembeki kimi ngekukhonta* bonkulunkulu bemanga labatawube baseceleni kwabo kulelive labaya kulo.+ Batangishiya,+ bephule nesivumelwane lengisente nabo.+

17 Kodvwa ema-Israyeli ala ngisho nekulalela letikhulu futsi abegwadla nalabanye bonkulunkulu aphindze abakhotsamele. Ngekushesha ayishiya indlela yabokhokho bawo, lebebalalele imitsetfo yaJehova.+ Kepha wona ehluleka kwenta njalo.

33 Ngekushesha nje ngemuva kwekufa kwaGideyoni, ema-Israyeli aphindze angetsembeki* ngekutsi akhonte boBhali,+ akhetsa Bhali-bherithi kutsi abe ngunkulunkulu wawo.+

2 Labafati bebachamuka etiveni Jehova lebekakhulume ngato kuma-Israyeli watsi: “Akukafaneli niye kuto* futsi akukafaneli tite kini ngobe titawuphambukisa tinhlitiyo tenu kutsi tilandzele bonkulunkulu bato.”+ Kodvwa Solomoni wanamatsela kulabafati futsi wabatsandza kakhulu.

26 Ayoniswanga yini nguloku iNkhosi Solomoni yaka-Israyeli? Etiveni letinyenti bekute inkhosi lefana nayo,+ futsi beyitsandvwa nguNkulunkulu wayo,+ kungako ayenta inkhosi yaka-Israyeli. Kodvwa bafati bakuletinye tive bayenta kutsi yone.+
