5 “Buyela uyetshela uHezekhiya umkhokheli wabantu bami uthi, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova uNkulunkulu kakhokho wakho uDavida: “Ngiwuzwile umthandazo wakho, lenyembezi zakho ngizibonile.+ Ngakho ngizakusilisa.+ Ngelanga lesithathu uzakuya endlini kaJehova.+

9 U-Isaya waphendula wathi: “Nansi isibonakaliso esivela kuJehova esizakutshengisa ukuthi uJehova uzakwenza lokho akukhulumileyo: Ukhetha ukuthi umthunzi osemasitephisini* uye phambili ngamasitephisi alitshumi kumbe ubuyele emuva ngamasitephisi alitshumi?”+

31 Abakhulumeli beziphathamandla zeBhabhiloni bathi befika bezombuza ngesibonakaliso+ esasenzakale elizweni,+ uNkulunkulu weqiniso wamyekela wazikhethela ayezakwenza ukuze amhlole+ abone konke okwakusenhliziyweni yakhe.+

8 Ngizakwenza umthunzi welanga owehla emasitephisini* ka-Ahazi ubuyele emuva ngamasitephisi alitshumi.”’”+ Ngakho umthunzi welanga wabuyela emuva ngamasitephisi alitshumi emasitephisini owawusudlule kuwo.
