3 Wahamba ngendlela yookumkani bakwaSirayeli,+ wadlulisa nonyana wakhe emlilweni,+ ngokuvumelana nezinto ezicekisekayo+ zeentlanga ezo uYehova wazigxothayo ngenxa yoonyana bakaSirayeli.

6 Yaye wadlulisa oonyana bakhe emlilweni+ entlanjeni yonyana kaHinom,+ waza waqhelisela umlingo+ wasebenzisa ukuvumisa+ waqhelisela nokukhafula+ wenza abaneshologu+ nabaxeli-ziganeko kwangaphambili+ abaziinkunkqele. Wenza okubi emehlweni kaYehova ngokomlinganiselo omkhulu, ukuze amcaphukise.+

5 abo bavutha yinkanuko phakathi kwemithi emikhulu,+ phantsi kwayo yonke imithi enabileyo,+ nibulala ngogonyamelo abantwana ezintlanjeni phantsi kweemfanta zengxondorha?+

31 Kwaye bazakhile iindawo eziphakamileyo zaseTofete,+ esentlanjeni yoonyana bakaHinom,+ ukuze batshise oonyana babo neentombi zabo emlilweni,+ nto leyo ndingabayalelanga yona nengathanga qatha entliziyweni yam.’+

35 Ngapha koko, bakha iindawo eziphakamileyo zikaBhahali+ ezisentlanjeni yonyana kaHinom,+ ukuze badlulise oonyana babo neentombi zabo emlilweni+ kuMoleki,+ nto leyo endingabayalelanga yona,+ nengathanga qatha entliziyweni yam ukuba bayenze, le nto icekisekayo,+ ngenjongo yokonisa uYuda.’+

26 Ndabayeka benziwa iinqambi ngezipho zabo ekudluliseni kwabo emlilweni wonke umntwana ovula isibeleko,+ ukuze ndibaphanzise, bazi ukuba ndinguYehova.”’+
