13 Mbundakasinsimina buyo, Pelatiya mwana wa Benaya wakafwa, aboobo ndakavwuntama ansi akulila ajwi pati kuti: “Akaka, O Mwami Singuzuzyoonse Jehova! Sena ulamana kubanyonyoona basyeede ba Israyeli?”+
14 Ijwi lya Jehova lyakandisikila alimwi kaliti: 15 “Omwanaamuntu, bantu bakkala mu Jerusalemu baambila banabokwanu, aabo banabokwanu bajisi ceelelo cakunununa, antoomwe aboonse bamuŋanda ya Israyeli kuti, ‘Amutantamukile kulamfwu a Jehova. Nyika eeyi njiyesu; twapegwa kuti ibe yesu.’ 16 Aboobo koamba kuti, ‘Mboobu mbwaamba Mwami Singuzuzyoonse Jehova: “Nokuba kuti ndabatola kulamfwu akati kabantu bamasi, alimwi ndabamwaila muzisi zimwi,+ kwakaindi kaniini buyo ndiyoobabeda cikombelo kuzisi eezyo nkobabede.’”+
17 “Aboobo koamba kuti, ‘Mboobu mbwaamba Mwami Singuzuzyoonse Jehova: “Kunze lyaboobo ndiyoomuyobolola kuzwa kubantu aabo akumubunganya kuzwa kuzisi eezyo nkomumwaikide, alimwi ndiyoomupa cisi ca Israyeli.+ 18 Eelyo bayoopilukila mumo akugwisya zintu zyoonse zisesemya alimwi amicito yoonse iisesemya mulincico.+ 19 Alimwi ndiyoobapa moyo omwe,+ akubikka muuya mupya mulimbabo;+ ndiyoogwisya moyo muyumu nta mbuli bbwe uuli mulimbabo+ akubapa moyo muteteete wanyama,*+ 20 kutegwa kabeenda mumilawo yangu akubamba mbeta zyangu alimwi akuzitobela. Eelyo bayooba bantu bangu ambebo ndiyooba Leza wabo.’”
21 “‘“Pele aabo bajisi myoyo iikanzide kuzumanana kutolaambele zintu zyabo zisesemya amicito yabo iisesemya, ndiyoobaletela mpindu yanzila yabo amitwe yabo,” mbwaamba Mwami Singuzuzyoonse Jehova.’”
22 Mpoonya bakerubi bakavwungulula mababa aabo, aalo mavwili akali kumbali lyabo,+ alimwi bulemu bwa Leza wa Israyeli bwakali atala lyabo.+ 23 Kumane bulemu bwa Jehova+ bwakanyamuka kuya mujulu kuzwa amunzi akuyakwiimina atala aacilundu cakali kujwe lyamunzi.+ 24 Mpoonya muuya wakandinyamuna—mucilengaano ncondakabona kwiinda mumuuya wa Leza—akunditola kubantu bakali mubuzike kucisi caba Kasidi. Kumane cilengaano ncondakabwene cakazimaana. 25 Mpoonya ndakatalika kwaambila bantu aabo bakali mubuzike izintu zyoonse nzyaakanditondezya Jehova.
