11. baqhumisela khona ezigangeni zonke, njengeentlanga awazifudusayo uYehova ebusweni babo. Benza izinto ezimbi zokumqumbisa uYehova;
12. bakhonza izigodo ezizizithixo, wathi uYehova kubo, Ize ningazenzi ezo nto.
13. Waqononondisa uYehova kwaSirayeli nakwaYuda, ngabaprofeti bonke, iimboni ngeemboni, esithi, Buyani ezindleleni zenu ezimbi, nigcine imithetho yam, imimiselo yam, ngokomyalelo wonke endawumisela ooyihlo, endawuthumela kuni ngesandla sabakhonzi bam abaprofeti.
14. Abeva, bazenza lukhuni iintamo zabo, njengeentamo zooyise abangakholwanga nguYehova uThixo wabo.
15. Bayicekisa imimiselo yakhe, nomnqophiso wakhe awawenzayo nooyise babo, nezingqino zakhe awazingqinayo kubo; balandela izinto ezingento, baba ziinto ezingento, balandelana neentlanga ezibangqongileyo, awayebawisele umthetho uYehova ngazo, ukuba bangenzi njengazo.
16. Bayishiya yonke imithetho kaYehova uThixo wabo, bazenzela umfanekiso otyhidiweyo, amathole amabini, benza uAshera, baqubuda kumkhosi wonke wezulu, bakhonza uBhahali.*
17. Bacandisa oonyana babo neentombi zabo emlilweni, bavumisa, bahlaba izihlabo, bazithengisela ukwenza okubi emehlweni kaYehova, ukuba bamqumbise.
18. UYehova waba nomsindo omkhulu kunene kumaSirayeli, wawasusa ebusweni bakhe, yaba sisizwe sakwaYuda sodwa esasalayo.
19. KwanamaYuda akayigcinanga imithetho kaYehova uThixo wawo; ahamba ngemimiselo yamaSirayeli abeyenzile.
20. Wayilahla ke uYehova yonke imbewu yakwaSirayeli, wabacinezela, wabanikela esandleni sabaphangi, wada wabagxotha ebusweni bakhe.
21. Ngokuba wawakrazula amaSirayeli endlwini kaDavide; aza amenza ukumkani uYarobheham unyana kaNebhati. UYarobheham wawawexula amaSirayeli ekumlandeleni uYehova, wawonisa ngesono esikhulu.
22. Bahamba oonyana bakaSirayeli ezonweni zonke zikaYarobheham awazenzayo àbatyeka kuzo,
23. wada uYehova wawasusa amaSirayeli ebusweni bakhe, njengoko wakuthethayo ngabakhonzi bakhe bonke, abaprofeti. Afuduswa ke amaSirayeli emhlabeni wawo, asiwa eAsiriya, unanamhla.
24. Ke kaloku ukumkani waseAsiriya wazisa abantu, bevela eBhabheli, naseKuta, naseAva, naseHamati, naseSefarvayim, wababeka emizini yakwaSamari, esikhundleni soonyana bakaSirayeli. Balihlutha elakwaSamari, bahlala emizini yalo.
25. Kwathi ekuqaleni kokuma kwabo khona, àbamoyika uYehova; uYehova wathuma iingonyama phakathi kwabo; zaya zibulala phakathi kwabo.
