Ngenyanga uNisani, ngonyaka wama-20 wokubusa kwenkosi u-Arithahishashitha, iwayini liphambi kwenkosi, ngalithunga ngalinika inkosi. Ngangingakaze ngibe ngodangele phambi kwayo. Inkosi yathi kimi: “Kungani ubuso bakho budangele wena ube ungaguli na? Lokhu kufanele kube ngukudangala okuvela enhliziyweni.”
Ngesaba kakhulu. Ngaphendula ngathi enkosini: “Mana njalo, nkosi! Kungenzeka kanjani ukuba ubuso bami bungadangali, lapho umuzi oyindawo yamathuna okhokho uyincithakalo, namasango awo eshiswe ngomlilo na?”
Inkosi yathi kimi: “Ukhala ngani na?”
Ngase ngikhuleka kuNkulunkulu wezulu. Ngathi enkosini: “Uma kukuhle emehlweni akho nkosi, nengikucelayo kwemukeleka kuwe, ngicela ukuba ungithumele kwaJuda, emzini wamathuna obabamkhulu, ukuba ngiyowakha kabusha.”
Inkosi yathi kimi, nendlovukazi ihlezi eduze kwayo: “Uyohamba isikhathi esingakanani, futhi ubuye nini na?”
Kwayithokozisa inkosi, yase ingivumela, nganquma isikhathi engiyobuya ngaso.
Ngathi enkosini: “Uma kwemukelekile enkosini, manginikwe izincwadi engiyozethula kubabusi besifundazwe esisentshonalanga yomfula iYufrathe, ukuze banginike imvume yokudabula ngaphandle kwezihibe, ngize ngifike kwaJuda. Ngacela nencwadi eya ku-Asafa, umqaphi wehlathi lenkosi, eyayimyala ukuba anginike izingodo zokwakha imishayo yamasango enqaba yethempeli, izingange zomuzi nezendlu engangizohlala kuyo.”
Inkosi yanginika konke engakucelayo, ngokuba isandla esihle sikaNkulunkulu sasinami.
Inkosi yathumela izikhulu zempi nabagibele amahhashi ukuba bangiphelekezele. Ngafinyelela kubabusi besifundazwe esiseNtshonalanga yeYufrathe, ngabanika izincwadi ezazibhalwe yinkosi. Kodwa lapho uSanibhalathi, umHoroni noThobiya, inceku yakwa-Amoni, bezwa ukuthi kufike umuntu ozosebenzela inhlalakahle ka-Israyeli, bacunuka kakhulu.

Ngafika eJerusalema ngahlala khona izinsuku ezintathu. Ngavuka ebusuku, ngahamba namanye amadoda; angitshelanga muntu ngalokho uNkulunkulu wami ayekubeke enhliziyweni yami ukuba ngikwenzele iJerusalema. Angithathanga silwane ngaphandle kwaleso engangisigibele. Ngaphuma ebusuku ngeSango Lesigodi, ngahamba ngaseningizimu yoMthombo KaDrago, ngaze ngayofika eSangweni Lomquba, ngazihlola izingange eJerusalema ezazibhidlizelwe phansi namasango alo ayeshiswe ngomlilo. Ngaqhubekela eSangweni Lomthombo naseChibini Lenkosi, kodwa kwakungasekho ndlela yokuba isilwane engangigibele kuso siqhubeke. Ngakhuphuka ngomhosha ebusuku, ngihlola ugange. Ngase ngibuyela emzini, ngangena ngeSango Lesigodi; ngabuya kanjalo-ke.
Akukho namunye ezikhulwini owayazi ukuthi bengiyephi nokuthi ngangenzani. Ngangingakabatsheli abaJuda, abaphristi, abaholi, izikhulu nabanye ababezokwenza umsebenzi.
Ngase ngithi kubo: “Niyayibona yini inkathazo esikuyo, ukuthi iJerusalema liyincithakalo, namasango alo ashisiwe na? Wozani, masakhe kabusha ugange ukuze singaphinde sibe yihlazo.”
Ngabatshela ukuthi isandla esihle sikaNkulunkulu wami sibe nami kanjani, nangamazwi inkosi eyayiwakhulume kimi. Bathi: “Masisukume sakhe.”
Base bewuqala ngentshisekelo umsebenzi.
Kwathi lapho uSanibhalathi umHoroni, uThobiya inceku engumAmoni, noGeshemi umArabhu bekuzwa lokho, basihleka usulu besibhinqa, bethi: “Nenzani nje nempela na? Senivukela inkosi na?”
Ngabathumelela impendulo ethi: “UNkulunkulu wezulu uzosiphumelelisa, thina zinceku zakhe sizosukuma, siqale sakhe kabusha, kodwa nina aninasabelo, nalungelo, nanto eyisikhumbuzo eJerusalema.”
