19 Xa ujonga emazulwini uze ubone ilanga, inyanga neenkwenkwezi, wonke nje umkhosi wamazulu, uze ungahendelwa ukuba uqubude kuwo, uwukhonze.+ Ezi zinto uYehova uThixo wakho uzinike bonke abantu phantsi kwamazulu.

16 Aqhubeka eyishiya yonke imithetho kaYehova uThixo wawo, azenzela imifanekiso yesinyithi yamathole enkomo amabini,+ enza nepali engcwele,*+ yaye aqubuda kuwo wonke umkhosi wamazulu+ aza akhonza uBhahali.+

21 UManase+ waba ngukumkani xa wayeneminyaka eyi-12, ibe walawula iminyaka eyi-55 eYerusalem.+ Igama likamama wakhe yayinguHefetsibha.

3 Waphinda wazakha iindawo eziphakamileyo ezazitshatyalaliswe nguHezekiya utata wakhe,+ wakha nezibingelelo zikaBhahali, wenza nepali engcwele,*+ kanye njengoko uAhabhi ukumkani wakwaSirayeli wenzayo.+ Waqubuda kuwo wonke umkhosi wamazulu, wawukhonza.+

13 Yaye izindlu zaseYerusalem nezindlu zookumkani bakwaYuda azizukucoceka kanye njengale ndawo, iTofete,+ zonke izindlu abebebingelela phezu kophahla lwazo kuwo wonke umkhosi wamazulu,+ nabebegalela kuzo umnikelo oselwayo wabanye oothixo.’”+

16 Ngoko wandisa kwiyadi engaphakathi yendlu kaYehova.+ Apho egeyithini yetempile kaYehova, phakathi kweveranda nesibingelelo, kwakukho amadoda amalunga ne-25 awayefulathele itempile kaYehova, ejonge empuma; ayequbuda phambi kwelanga elisempuma.+
