26. Ngoko, nkosi yam, ehleli nje uYehova, uhleli nje umphefumlo wakho, inene, uYehova ukunqandile ukuba ungaphalazi gazi, ungazisindisi ngesandla sakho; ngoko mazibe njengoNabhali iintshaba zakho, nabayifunela ububi inkosi yam.
27. Ngoko le ntsikelelo, ayizisileyo umkhonzazana wakho enkosini yam, mayinikwe amadodana alandela inkosi yam.
28. Khawumxolele umkhonzazana wakho ukreqo lwakhe; ngokuba, inene, uYehova uya kuyenzela inkosi yam indlu eqinileyo; ngokuba inkosi yam ilwa iimfazwe zikaYehova; ububi abuyi kufunyanwa kuwe imihla yakho yonke.
29. Xa kuthe kwesuka umntu, wakusukela, wawufuna umphefumlo wakho, wóbotshwa umphefumlo wenkosi yam esiqhumeni sabaphilileyo kuYehova uThixo wakho; ke wona umphefumlo weentshaba zakho wowusawula entendeni yenkwitshi.
30. Kuthi, xa uYehova athe wenza kwinkosi yam njengako konke okulungileyo akuthethileyo ngawe; wakumisa wayingànga yamaSirayeli:
31. oko kungabi sisiwiso kuwe, nesikhubekiso sentliziyo yenkosi yam, nokuphalaza igazi elimsulwa, nokuzisindisa kwenkosi yam; ukuba uthe uYehova wenza okulungileyo enkosini yam, wómkhumbula umkhonzazana wakho.
32. Wathi ke uDavide kuAbhigali, Makabongwe uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, okuthumileyo namhla, wandikahwulela.
33. Mayibongwe imvo yakho, ubongwe wena, ondaleleyo namhla ukuba ndiphalaze igazi, ndizisindise ngesandla sam.
34. Noko ke ehleli nje uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, ondithinteleyo àndenza nto imbi, ukuba ubungangxamanga uze kundikhawulela, inene, ngekungadanga kuse ngomso kusasele kwaNabhali into eyindoda.
35. UDavide wakwamkela esandleni sakhe oko akuzisileyo kuye; wathi kuye, Nyuka unoxolo, uye endlwini yakho; uyabona, ndiliphulaphule izwi lakho, ndakunonelela.
36. Waya ke uAbhigali kuNabhali, nanko enesidlo endlwini yakhe njengesidlo sokumkani; intliziyo kaNabhali imnandi, enxila kunene. Akamxelela nto, nokuba yencinane nokuba yenkulu, kwada kwasa ngengomso.
37. Kwathi ngengomso, ukuphuma kwewayini kuNabhali, umkakhe wamxelela loo mazwi; yafa intliziyo yakhe phakathi kwakhe, yaba lilitye.
38. Kwathi, zakuba seshumini iintsuku, uYehova wambetha uNabhali, wafa.
39. Weva uDavide ukuba uNabhali ufile, wathi, Makabongwe uYehova okuthetheleleyo ukungcikivwa kwam, wandikhulula esandleni sikaNabhali, wamnqanda umkhonzi wakhe ebubini, uYehova wabubuyisela ububi bukaNabhali entlokweni yakhe. Wathumela uDavide, wathetha kuAbhigali ukuba amzeke, abe ngumkakhe.
