2 “Khuluma labantu bako-Israyeli uthi kubo, ‘Loba nguphi umuntu wako-Israyeli kumbe owesinye isizwe ohlala ko-Israyeli ozanikela umntanakhe kuMolekhi kumele abulawe loba sekutheni.+ Abantu abahlala elizweni kumele bamkhande ngamatshe aze afe.

10 Phakathi kwenu akumelanga kutholakale loba ngubani otshisa indodana kumbe indodakazi yakhe emlilweni, esenza umhlatshelo ngayo,*+ laloba ngubani ohlahlulayo,+ lowenza amasalamusi,+ lobuza kwabatshaya amathambo,+ loloyayo,+

7 Ngalesosikhathi uSolomoni wakha indawo ephakemeyo+ entabeni ephambi kweJerusalema, esakhela uKhemoshi unkulunkulu wamaMowabi owenyanyekayo. Wakhela loMolekhi+ unkulunkulu wama-Amoni owenyanyekayo+ indawo ephakemeyo.

10 Inkosi yangcolisa leThofethi+ esesigodini samadodana kaHinomi*+ ukuze kungabi lomuntu otshisa indodana yakhe loba indodakazi yakhe esenza ngayo umhlatshelo kuMolekhi.+
