14 Ngakho umphristi uHilikhiya, lo-Ahikhamu, lo-Akhibhori, loShafani, lo-Asaya baya kumphrofethikazi+ uHulida. UHulida wayeyinkosikazi kaShalumi indodana kaThikhiva indodana kaHarihasi, owayekhangela indlu okwakugcinelwa kuyo izigqoko. UHulida wayehlala esigabeni esitsha sedolobho leJerusalema njalo yikho lapho amadoda la akhuluma laye khona.+ 15 Wathi kuwo: “Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ‘Kumele litshele indoda elithume kimi lithi: 16 “UJehova uthi, ‘Ngizakwehlisela umonakalo endaweni le lakubo bonke abahlala kuyo njalo wonke amazwi asebhukwini elibalwe yinkosi yakoJuda azagcwaliseka.+ 17 Ulaka lwami luzavutha phezu kwendawo le futhi alusoze luphele+ ngoba abantu laba bangitshiyile batshisela abanye onkulunkulu imihlatshelo,+ bengithukuthelisa ngakho konke abakwenza ngezandla zabo.’”+ 18 Kodwa enkosini yakoJuda elithume ukuthi lizobuza kuJehova kumele lithi, “Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli mayelana lamazwi owazwileyo: 19 ‘Ngiwuzwile umthandazo wakho ngenxa yokuthi inhliziyo yakho ikwamukele okuzwileyo, wazehlisa+ phambi kukaJehova ngesikhathi usizwa engikukhulumileyo mayelana lendawo le labantu abahlala kuyo, ukuthi bazaqalekiswa njalo loba ngubani obabonayo uzakwethuka. Ngikuzwile ngoba udabule izigqoko zakho+ wakhala phambi kwami, kutsho uJehova. 20 Ngenxa yalokho, amehlo akho awasoze awubone umonakalo engizawehlisela indawo le. Uzakufa* ungcwatshwe engcwabeni lakho ngokuthula.’”’” Basuka lapho bayatshela inkosi impendulo.
