13 Waza umdiliya wathi kuyo, ‘Ndiyiyeke na iwayini yam entsha eyenza uThixo nabantu babe nemihlali,+ ndize ndiye kujinga phezu kwemithi?’

28 Wandula ke uAbhisalom wayalela abalindi bakwakhe, esithi: “Yabonani kamsinya nje yakuba intliziyo ka-Amnon ichwayitile yiwayini,+ ndize ngokuqinisekileyo mna ndithi kuni, ‘Mxabeleni uAmnon!’ nize ke nina nimbulale. Ningoyiki.+ Aniyalelwanga ndim na? Yomelelani nize nizingqine ningamadoda angamakroti.”

10 Ngosuku lwesixhenxe, xa intliziyo kakumkani yayichwayitile yiwayini,+ wathi kuMehuman, uBhizeta, uHarbhona,+ uBhigeta noAbhageta, noZetare noKarkas, amagosa enkundla asixhenxe awayelungiselela+ uKumkani uAhaswerosi,

6 Isiselo esinxilisayo, sinikeni otshabalalayo+ newayini yinikeni abo bamphefumlo ukrakra.+

3 Ndakhangela entliziyweni yam ukuba ndichwayitise inyama yam ngewayini,+ ngoxa ndandiyikhokela ngobulumko intliziyo yam,+ kwanangokubamba ubuyatha de ndakubona oko kulungileyo bakwenzileyo oonyana babantu phantsi kwamazulu ngenani lemihla yobomi babo.+

7 Yiya, utye ukutya kwakho unemihlali uze usele iwayini yakho unentliziyo elungileyo,+ ngenxa yokuba uTHIXO oyinyaniso ukholisiwe yimisebenzi yakho.+

19 Isonka sibenza bahleke abasebenzi, yaye iwayini ibenza bube nemihlali ubomi;+ kodwa kuzo zonke izinto yimali ethethayo.+
