33 UManase+ wayeleminyaka engu-12 ngesikhathi esiba yinkosi njalo wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka engu-55.+

5 Waphinda wakhela lonke ibutho elisemazulwini* ama-alithare emagumeni womabili endlu kaJehova.+

14 Abantu kanye labo bonke abaphristi abakhokhelayo benza okubi kakhulu. Baqhubeka besenza zonke izinto ezenyanyekayo ezazisenziwa ngezinye izizwe. Bangcolisa indlu kaJehova+ eyayiseJerusalema, ayeyenze yaba ngcwele.

11 Kanti selibona angathi indlu le ebizwa ngebizo lami ilubhalu lwamasela?+ Khathesi sengizibonele ngawami okwenzakalayo,” kutsho uJehova.

10 Ngakho ngangena phakathi ngakhangela, ngabona emdulini kulemifanekiso yezinanakazana leyezinyamazana ezenyanyekayo+ lazo zonke izithombe ezenyanyekayo* zabantu bako-Israyeli.+ 11 Phambi kwazo kwakumi abadala bako-Israyeli abangu-70 futhi uJazaniya indodana kaShafani+ laye wayekhona. Ngamunye wabo wayethwele umganu wakhe wokutshisela impepha, kuthunqa intuthu yempepha enukelelayo.+

39 Bathi sebebulele amadodana abo futhi sebenikele ngawo ezithombeni zabo ezenyanyekayo,+ bangena endaweni yami engcwele ngalelolanga bayingcolisa.+ Lokhu yikho abakwenzayo endlini yami.
