Ɀino negore regumi namasere ramambo Josia, mambo akatuma munyori Shafani mŋanakomana waAzaria, mŋanakomana waMeshurami, kumba kwaJehova, akati: Enda kunaHirkia muprista mukuru, umuʋudze aʋereŋge mari inoiswa mumba maJehova, yakaʋuŋganidzwa naʋatariri ʋomukoʋa kuʋanhu; ʋaipe mumaʋoko aʋaɓati ʋeɓasa, ʋanotarira imba yaJehova; iʋo ʋaipe ʋaɓati ʋeɓasa ʋari mumba maJehova, kuti ʋagadzirise ɀakaputsika paimba; iʋo ʋaʋezi, naʋaʋaki, naʋanoroŋga mabge, ʋuye ʋateŋge nayo matanda, namabge akaʋezwa, kuti ʋagadzire imba. Asi haʋana‐kubvunzwa pamsoro pemari yakaiswa mumaʋoko aʋo, nokuti ʋaiɓata ʋakatendeka. Ipapo Hirkia muprista mukuru akati kunaShafani munyori: Ndawana buku yomurairo mumba maJehova.

Ɀino Shafani munyori akaȿika kunamambo, akadzoka neshoko kunamambo, akati: Ʋaranda ʋenyu ʋaɗurura mari yakawanikwa mumba, ʋakaipa mumaʋoko aʋaɓati ʋeɓasa, ʋanotarira imba yaJehova. Shafani munyori akati kunamambo: Muprista Hirkia wandipa buku. Shafani akairaʋira mambo. Ɀino mambo wakati acinzwa mashoko ebuku yomurairo, akabvarura ŋguʋo dzake. Mambo akaraira muprista Hirkia, naAhikami mŋanakomana waShafani, naAkbori mŋanakomana waMikaya, naShafani munyori, naAsaya muranda wamambo, akati: Endai mundondibvunzira Jehova, ini naʋanhu naʋaJuda ʋose, pamsoro pamashoko ebuku iyi yakawanikwa; nokuti kutsamŋa kwaJehova kwaakatitsamŋira nako kukuru kwaɀo, nokuti madziɓaɓa eɗu haana‐kuterera mashoko ebuku iyi, haʋana‐kuita ɀose ɀatakarairwa. Naiɀoɀo muprista Hirkia, naAhikami, naAkbori, naShafani, naAsaya ʋakaenda kuna‐Hurda muprofitakadzi, mukadzi waSharumi mŋanakomana waTikva, mŋanakomana waHarhasi, muceŋgeti weŋguʋo; (ɀino iye mukadzi wakaŋga agere paJerusarema kurutiʋi rutȿa rweguta;) ʋakataurirana naye.
