9 Waza uYehowashe ukumkani wakwaSirayeli wathumela kuAmatsiya ukumkani wakwaYuda, esithi: “Ukhula olunameva olwaluseLebhanon lwathumela kumsedare+ owawuseLebhanon, lusithi, ‘Intombi yakho yinike unyana wam njengomfazi.’ Noko ke, kwadlula irhamncwa lasendle elaliseLebhanon laza lalunyathela ukhula olunameva.+

13 naphezu kwemisedare yonke yaseLebhanon+ ephakamileyo nenyukileyo naphezu kwemithi yonke exandileyo yaseBhashan;+

3 Khangela! UmAsiriya, umsedare waseLebhanon,+ omasebe mahle,+ intshinyela yemithi enomthunzi, ophakamileyo ngobude,+ ngokokuze incopho yomthi wakhe ibe phakathi kwamafu.+

9 “‘Kodwa mna, ndambhubhisa umAmori+ ngenxa yabo, okuphakama kwakhe kwakunjengokuphakama kwemisedare, nowayenamandla njengemithi exandileyo;+ ndasibhubhisa isiqhamo sakhe phezulu neengcambu zakhe ngaphantsi.+

2 Bhomboloza, wena mjunipha, kuba umsedare uwile; ngenxa yokuba iingangamsha ziphangiwe!+ Bhombolozani, nina mithi exandileyo yaseBhashan, kuba ihlathi elingangenekiyo liwile!+
