12 “Kodwa ukuba niye najika,+ nanamathela kwezi ntlanga ziseleyo,+ ezi zisele nani, nendiselana+ kunye nazo, nangena phakathi kwazo, nazo phakathi kwenu,

2 Ngako oko waphuma waya phambi kuka-Asa waza wathi kuye: “Ndiphulaphule, Asa nawe wonke Yuda noBhenjamin! UYehova unani logama nje nani ninaye;+ nokuba nithe namfuna,+ uya kufumaneka kuni, kodwa ukuba nithe namshiya uya kunishiya.+

22 Kuba ndaziva ndineentloni ukucela umkhosi wamajoni+ nabakhweli-mahashe+ kukumkani ukuba baze kusinceda nxamnye notshaba endleleni, ngenxa yokuba sasithe kukumkani: “Isandla+ soThixo wethu siphezu kwabo bonke abo bamfunayo ngenxa yokulungileyo,+ kodwa amandla akhe nomsindo wakhe+ zinxamnye nabo bonke abo bamshiyayo.”+

28 Ukuwa kwabo bavukelayo nokwabo banesono kuya kuba ngaxeshanye,+ nabo bamshiyayo uYehova baya kupheliswa.+

13 Owu Yehova, themba likaSirayeli,+ bonke abo bakushiyayo baya kuhlaziswa.+ Abo bawexukayo kum+ baya kubhalwa phantsi emhlabeni, ngenxa yokuba bawushiyile umthombo wamanzi aphilayo, uYehova.+
