21 “‘Akukafuzi ninikele abantwabenu kuMoleki.+ Akukafuzi nisilaphaze igama lakaZimenu ngendlela leyo.+ NginguJehova.

2 “Kufuze uthi kuma-Israyeli, ‘Nanyana ngimuphi umIsrayeli namkha umuntu ovela kwenye inarha ohlala hlangana nani onikela ngomntwanakhe kuMoleki, umuntu loyo kufuze abulawe.+ Abantu benarheni leyo kufuze bamkghadlhe ngamatje bekafe.

16 Ngomnyaka we-17 kaPhekharhi indodana kaRemaliya, u-Arhazi+ indodana kaJothamu iKosi yakwaJuda waba yikosi.

3 Kunalokho wakhamba emtlhaleni wamakhosi wakwa-Israyeli,+ wenza ngitjho nendodanakhe yaba mhlatjelo,*+ wenza izinto ezinyenyisako ebezenziwa ziintjhaba+ uJehova aziqotha phambi kwama-Israyeli.

33 UManase+ bekaneminyaka eli-12 nakaba yikosi, wabusa iminyaka ema-55 eJerusalema.+

6 Wenza amadodanakhe bona abe mhlatjelo*+ emRhobeni weNdodana kaHinomu;+ wenza imilingo,+ wathukula, wenza ubuloyi, wabeka abantu ababuza kwabafileko nababikezela ikusasa.+ Wenza okumbi emehlweni kaJehova ngezinga elikhulu khulu bona amsilinge.

31 Bakhe iindawo eziphakemeko eThofethi emRhobeni weNdodana kaHinomu,*+ bona batjhise amadodana namadodakazabo emlilweni,+ into engingakhenge ngibayale bona bayenze, engakhenge ifike nakancani ehliziywenami.’+

26 Ngibalise bona basilaphazeke ngemihlatjelwabo, lokha nabenza imihlatjelo*+ ngabantwababo aba mazibulo bona batjhatjalaliswe khona bazokwazi ukuthi nginguJehova.”’
