2 Asa wenta lokuhle nalokulungile emehlweni aJehova Nkulunkulu wakhe. 3 Wasusa ema-al’thare abonkulunkulu baletinye tive+ netindzawo letiphakeme, wabhidlita ematje langcwele,+ futsi waphihlita netinsika letingcwele.*+ 4 Ngetulu kwaloko, watjela emaJuda kutsi awafune Jehova Nkulunkulu wabokhokho bawo futsi agcine uMtsetfo nemyalo. 5 Ngako wasusa tindzawo letiphakeme netindzawo tekushisela imphepho kuwo onkhe emadolobha akaJuda,+ futsi nakusabusa yena lombuso wachubeka ngaphandle kwekuphatamiseka.

11 Asa wase uncenga Jehova Nkulunkulu wakhe+ watsi: “Awu Jehova, akusho lutfo kuwe kutsi banyenti labo lobasitako nome bete emandla.+ Sisite, awu Jehova Nkulunkulu wetfu ngobe setsembele* kuwe+ futsi site kutokulwa nalesicumbi ngelibito lakho.+ Awu Jehova, wena unguNkulunkulu wetfu. Ungavumi kuncotjwa ngumuntfu.”+
