9 “Wena-ke Solomoni ndvodzana yami, mati kahle Nkulunkulu wababe wakho futsi umkhonte ngenhlitiyo lephelele*+ nangemphefumulo* lojabulako,* ngobe Jehova uhlola tonkhe tinhlitiyo+ futsi wati yonkhe imicabango.+ Nangabe umfuna, yena utatenta atfolakale kuwe+ kodvwa nangabe umshiya, utakulahla kuze kube phakadze.+

2 Ngako Azariya wahamba wayohlangana na-Asa wafike watsi kuye: “Awu Asa nani nonkhe maJuda nebakaBhenjamini, ngilaleleni! Jehova utawuba nani nangabe nje nichubeka ninaye;+ nangabe nimfuna, nitamtfola+ kodvwa nangabe nimlahla naye utanilahla.+

19 INkhosi Jehoshafati yakaJuda yase ibuyela endlini* yayo leseJerusalema iphephile.*+

3 Nobe kunjalo, kunetintfo letinhle letitfolakele kuwe,+ ngobe ususe tinsika letingcwele* kulelive futsi walungisa inhlitiyo yakho* kutsi ifune Nkulunkulu weliciniso.”+

 6 Funani Jehova asatfolakala.+

Mbiteni asesedvutane.+

12 Ngobe emehlo aJehova* akesuki kulabalungile, netindlebe takhe tilalela kuncusa kwabo;+ kodvwa Jehova* umelene nalabenta lokubi.”+
