8 Ngakho tshela inceku yami uDavida uthi, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova wamabutho: “Ngakuthatha emadlelweni uselusa izimvu+ ukuze ube ngumkhokheli wabantu bami bako-Israyeli.+

12 Nxa insuku zakho sezifike ekucineni,+ usufile,* ngizabeka omunye wabantwabakho,* indodana yakho, ukuthi abe yinkosi njalo ngizakwenza umbuso wakhe uqine.+

4 UJehova laye uzasigcwalisa isithembiso asenza kimi esithi: ‘Nxa amadodana akho angananzelela indlela aphila ngayo, athembeke kimi ngenhliziyo yonke langomphefumulo* wonke,+ akusoze kuswelakale umuntu wosendo lwakho ozahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sako-Israyeli.’+

5 ngizaqinisa umbuso wakho ko-Israyeli kuze kube nini lanini, njengoba nje ngathembisa uyihlo uDavida ngathi, ‘Akusoze kuswelakale umuntu wosendo lwakho ozahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sako-Israyeli.’+
