30. UYifeta wabhambathisa kuYehova isibhambathiso, wathi, Ukuba ùthe wabanikela kanye oonyana baka-Amon esandleni sam, wóthi,
31. osukuba ephuma emnyango wendlu yam, eza kundikhawulela ekubuyeni kwam ngoxolo koonyana baka-Amon, abe ngokaYehova; ndimnyuse abe lidini elinyukayo.
32. Wagqitha ke uYifeta, waya koonyana baka-Amon ukuba alwe nabo. Wabanikela uYehova esandleni sakhe.
33. Wababulala kakhulu kunene, kwathabathela eArohere kwada kwaya eMiniti, imizi emashumi mabini, kwesa eAbhelekeramim. Bathotywa oonyana baka-Amon phambi koonyana bakaSirayeli.
34. Wafika uYifeta eMizpa endlwini yakhe; nantso intombi yakhe iphuma iza kumkhawulela, inengqongqo ingqungqa; yaye ikuphéla komntwana wakhe, ngaphandle kwayo wayengenanyana nantombi.
35. Kwathi akuyibona, wazikrazulu iingubo zakhe, wathi, Yini na le, ntombi yam! Ùndithobile kakhulu wena ungowabandihlisele intlekele Mna ndiwuvulile umlomo wam kuYehova; andinakubuya umva.
36. Yathi kuye, Bawo, ùwuvulile umlomo wakho kuYehova; yenza kum njengoko kuphume emlonyeni wakho; okunje uYehova akwenzele impindezelo ezintshabeni zakho, oonyana baka-Amon.
37. Yathi kuyise, Mandenzelwe le ndawo; ndíyeke iinyanga zibe mbini, ndihambe ndihle ndiye ezintabeni, ndililele ubuntombi bam, mna nabalingane bam.
38. Wathi, Yiya. Wayindulula, yaya iinyanga ezimbini. Yaya yona nabalingane bayo, yabulilela ubuntombi bayo ezintabeni.
39. Kwathi, ekupheleni kweenyanga ezimbini, yabuya yeza kuyise, wasenzela kuyo isibhambathiso sakhe, awayesibhambathisile; ke yona yayingazani nandoda. Yaba lisiko kwaSirayeli ukuthi, imihla kamihla,
40. iintombi zakwaSirayeli ziye ziyibonge intombi kaYifeta umGiliyadi, imihla eminé ngomnyaka.
