9 Ngemva kwesikhathi uJehova wathi kuKhayini: “Ungaphi umfowenu u-Abela?” Yena wathi: “Angazi. Kanti yimi engimgcinayo yini umfowethu?” 10 UNkulunkulu wathi: “Wenzeni? Zwana! Igazi lomfowenu liyakhala kimi lisemhlabathini.+

5 Kanti njalo, loba yisiphi isidalwa esiphilayo esizachitha igazi, lona eliyikuphila kwenu* ngizakuthi sibhadale. Nxa kuyinyamazana kuzamele ife. Nxa kungumuntu kuzamele abhadale ngokuphila kwakhe ngoba uyabe echithe ukuphila komfowabo.+

24 UJehu wathatha umtshoko wakhe watshoka uJehoramu emhlane, umtshoko wayahlaba enhliziyweni, uJehoramu wawela enqoleni yakhe.

26 ‘“Njengoba ngibone igazi likaNabhothi+ lelamadodana akhe izolo,” kutsho uJehova, “lawe ngizakujezisa+ loba sekutheni ensimini yonale,” kutsho uJehova.’ Ngakho mthathe uyemjikela ensimini leyo njengoba nje uJehova watsho.”+

3 UJehova nguye owathi lokhu kwenzakale koJuda ukuze abasuse phambi kwakhe+ ngenxa yazo zonke izono ezazenziwe nguManase,+ 4 lokubulala kwakhe abantu abangelacala.+ Phela wagcwalisa iJerusalema ngegazi labantu abangelacala, yikho uJehova wayengafuni ukuxola.+

49 Yikho ngokuhlakanipha kwakhe uNkulunkulu wathi:* ‘Ngizathumela abaphrofethi labaphostoli kubo, abanye bazababulala abanye babahlukuluze, 50 ukuze igazi labo bonke abaphrofethi elachitheka kusukela ekusungulweni komhlaba libe phezu kwalesisizukulwane,+ 51 kusukela egazini lika-Abela+ kusiya egazini likaZakhariya owabulawelwa phakathi laphakathi kwe-alithare kanye lethempeli.’+ Ngilitshela ukuthi amacala la azakwetheswa lesisizukulwane.
