2 KASAMWELI 7:8-17

“Ke ngoko yithi kuDavide isicaka sam: ‘Utsho uNdikhoyo onamandla onke ukuthi: Wena Davide ndakuthatha emadlelweni ekwaluseni iigusha, ndakwenza umlawuli wabantu bam amaSirayeli. Ndakukhapha kwiindawo zonke owawuhamba kuzo, ndazisusa zonke iintshaba zakho phambi kwakho. Ngoko ke ngoku igama lakho ndiza kulenza lidume lifane nelabakhulu emhlabeni. Abantu bam amaSirayeli ndobabonela indawo abaza kuma kuyo, ndibazinzise, babe nendawo yabo, bangabuye babandezelwe nanini na. Abantu abakhohlakeleyo abayi kuba sabacinezela njengoko bebesenjenjalo ngaphambili, ukusukela kwimihla endabamisela abantu bam amaSirayeli iinkokheli. Ndiza kukwenza uphumle kuzo zonke iintshaba zakho. “ ‘UNdikhoyo utsho kuwe ukuthi nguye ngokwakhe oya kuyizinzisa indlu yakho. Yakuphela imihla yakho, xa sewuye kuphumla kooyihlo, ndokuvusela ihlumelo, lithathe isikhundla sakho. Ewe, nditsho omnye woonyana bakho oyinyama negazi lakho. Ndiya kuluzinzisa ulawulo lwakhe. Nguye ke oya kulakhela indlu igama lam, ndiluzinzise ulawulo lombuso wakhe ngonaphakade. Mna ndiya kuba nguyise kuye, yena abe ngunyana wam, xa onile abantu ndiya kubenza intonga endimohlwaya ngabo nemivumbo endimbetha ngabo. Inceba yam ayisayi kuze ishenxe kuye njengokuba ndênjenjalo kuSawule endamsusa esihlalweni ukuze kungene wena. Indlu yakho ndiya kuyizinzisa, ubukumkani bakho buhlale buhleli, ulawulo lwakho luhlale ngonaphakade.’ ” Ke uNatan waya kuxelela uDavide onke amazwi alo mbono.
