14 Oku koko oonyana bakaSirayeli bakuthabatha njengelifa kwilizwe laseKanan,+ oko uEleyazare umbingeleli noYoshuwa unyana kaNun neentloko zooyise bezizwe zoonyana bakaSirayeli zabanika kona njelifa.+

2 Aba yayingoonyana bamaphondo+ abenyukayo baphuma ekubanjweni kwabantu ababethinjiwe+ abo uNebhukadenetsare ukumkani waseBhabhiloni wayebathabathele ekuthinjweni+ eBhabhiloni nabo kamva babuyela+ eYerusalem nakwaYuda,+ ngamnye kwisixeko sakhe;

15 kodwa kuthiwe: “Ephila nje uYehova owabanyusayo oonyana bakaSirayeli kwilizwe lasemntla nasemazweni onke awayebasasazele kuwo!” kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo ndiya kubabuyisela emhlabeni wabo, endawunika ookhokho babo.’+

44 “‘Ngemali abantu baya kuthenga amasimi, yaye kuya kubhalwa kulo uxwebhu+ kuze kutywinwe kuthatyathwe namangqina+ kwilizwe lakwaBhenjamin+ nakoko kungqonge iYerusalem+ nasezixekweni zakwaYuda+ nasezixekweni zommandla weentaba nasezixekweni ezisesithabazini+ nasezixekweni zasemzantsi,+ ngenxa yokuba ndiya kubuyisela abathinjwa babo,’+ utsho uYehova.”

42 “‘Niya kwazi ukuba ndinguYehova,+ ekuniziseni kwam kumhlaba wakwaSirayeli,+ kwilizwe endaphakamisa isandla sam ndifungela ukulinika ookhokho benu.
