Uluhlu lwabasemfudusweni ababuyisiweyo
1Ke kaloku kwathi, lwakwakhiwa udonga, ndazifaka iingcango; bamiswa abamasango, nabavumi, nabaLevi, ukuba bagcine umsebenzi wabo. 2Ndamwisela umthetho uHanani umzalwana wam, noHananiya umphathi wenqaba, ngeYerusalem; ngokuba ebeyindoda enyanisekileyo, emoyikayo uThixo ngaphezu kwabaninzi. 3Ndathi kubo, Amasango aseYerusalem makangavulwa, lide lifudumale ilanga; bathi, besemi belinda, bazivale iingcango, bazitshixe; nimise abagcini abangabemi baseYerusalem, elowo abe selugcinweni lwakhe, elowo abe phambi kwendlu yakhe. 4Umzi ububanzi ngeenxa zombini, umkhulu; abantu bembalwa phakathi kwawo, kungakhiwanga zindlu.
5UThixo wam wangenisa entliziyweni yam, ukuba ndibabuthe abanumzana, nabaphathi, nabantu, ukuba ndibabhalele emilibeni yokuzalwa. Ndafumana incwadi yemilibo yokuzalwa kwâbo babenyuke ekuqaleni; ndafumana kubhaliwe khona kwathiwa:
