20. Wathi guququ uOrnan, wasibona isithunywa; oonyana bakhe abané ababenaye bazimela; ke uOrnan wayebhula ingqolowa.
21. Xa uDavide wayesiza kuOrnan, uOrnan wabheka wabona uDavide, waphuma esandéni, waqubuda kuDavide, ebhekise ubuso bakhe emhlabeni.
22. Wathi uDavide kuOrnan, Ndinike le ndawo yesandá, ndimakhele uYehova khona isibingelo; wòndinika ngenani elizeleyo, sithintelwe isibetho ebantwini.
23. Wathi uOrnan kuDavide, Yithabathele kuwe, inkosi yam ukumkani yenzè okulungileyo emehlweni ayo; khangela, ndikunika iinkomo ezi ukuba zibe ngamadini anyukayo, nempahla yokubhula ibe ziinkuni, nengqolowa ukuba ibe ngumnikelo wokudla; ndikunika konke oko.
24. Wathi ukumkani uDavide kuOrnan, Hayi; ndiya kusithenga ngexabiso elizalisekileyo; ngokuba andiyi kumthabathela nto iyeyakho uYehova, ndinyuse amadini anyukayo endiwazuzé ngelizé.
25. UDavide wamnika uOrnan ngaloo ndawo iishekele* zegolide ezibunzima bumakhulu mathandathu.
26. Wakhela apho ke uDavide isibingelelo kuYehova, wanyusa amadini anyukayo nemibingelelo yoxolo, wanqula uYehova; waza yena wamphendula ngomlilo ovela ezulwini, phezu kwesibingelelo sedini elinyukayo.
