7 Njalo kwathi ngezinsuku zika-Athazekisisi inkosi yasePhezhiya uBhishilamu, loMithiredathi loThabheli labo bonke abangane babo baloba incwadi isiya ku-Athazekisisi. Incwadi leyo yayibhalwe ngolimi lwesi-Aramayikhi ngendlela yokuloba kwawo ama-Aramu.

10 kanye labanye abantu inkosi enkulu ehloniphekayo u-Ashuribhaniphali (u-Osinaphari) eyabaxotshayo yayabahlalisa edolobheni laseSamariya lakwezinye izindawo ngaphetsheya kweYufrathe.
Kaawm rae miphun thung e kacuenaw hoi ka talue e Osnapper ni san lah a hrawi teh Samaria kho dawk kaawmnaw hoi tui namran lah kaawmnaw ni,
11 (Nanka amazwi encwadi leyo abayibhalayo.) Kuyo iNkosi u-Athazekisisi, Ivela ezincekwini zakho, abantu abangaphetsheya kweYufrathe:
Siangpahrang Artaxerxes koe ca a patawn awh e teh, ka bawi poung e Artaxerxes, tui namran lah kaawm e na sannaw ni kut na man awh.
12 Inkosi ifanele yazi ukuthi amaJuda afikayo kithi lapha evela kuwe aseye eJerusalema njalo sebelakha kutsha idolobho lelo elihlamukayo, elibi kakhulu. Sebevusa imiduli bevuselela lezisekelo.

13 Phezu kwalokho inkosi kufanele ukuba yazi ukuthi aluba idolobho leli lingaze lakhiwe lemiduli yalo imiswe njalo, kakusayikubhadalwa imithelo lenkongozelo yenkosi, lomthetho wokungenisa impahla ezweni, besekusithi-ke isikhwama senkosi sisilele izimali.

14 Pho njengoba thina silomlandu ophuma esigodlweni njalo kungafanelanga ukuthi sibone inkosi idelelwa, sithumela umbiko lo ukuyazisa inkosi,
Siangpahrang im e palawi ka palem e lah o awh dawkvah, siangpahrang ni banghai ngai hoeh e kâhmo han ka ngai awh hoeh.
15 ukuze kuhlolisiswe ezingwalweni zezindaba ezatshiywa yilabo abakwandulelayo. Kulezongwalo uzathola ukuthi idolobho leli lidolobho lokuhlamuka, lilohlupho emakhosini lakwezinye izigaba zombuso, liyindawo yokuhlamuka kulokhu kwasukela endulo. Yilokho okwabangela ukubhidlizwa kwalelidolobho.

16 Inkosi siyazisela ukuthi aluba idolobho leli lingakhiwa, imiswe njalo imiduli yalo, izakube ingasasalanga lalutho ngaphetsheya kweYufrathe.
Hete kho pathoup awh teh na cum awh pawiteh, tui namran lah uk thainae kâ na tawn thai mahoeh toe tie siangpahrang nang koe na thaisak awh, telah atipouh awh.
17 Inkosi yathumela impendulo le: KuRehumi umlawuli wempi loShimishayi unobhala labo bonke abaphathisana labo abahlala eSamariya lakwezinye izindawo ngaphetsheya kweYufrathe: Ngiyalibingelela.
Hattoteh siangpahrang ni ca let a patawn, kaukkung Rehum, cakathutkung Shimshai hoi alouke a huinaw hoi Samaria ram hoi tui namran lah kaawm e nangmouh koe roumnae awm naseh.
18 Incwadi elasithumela yona isiguqulwe ulimi yabalwa phambi kwami.
Kaimouh ca na patawn e teh ka hmalah kahawicalah a touk awh.
19 Ngakhupha ilizwi kwaphenywa, kwafunyanwa ukuthi idolobho leli lilembali ende eyokuvukela amakhosi, liyindawo yokuhlamuka lokuxhwala.
Hahoi kâ ka poe e patetlah a tawng awh. Hete kho heh yampa vah siangpahrang koe taran a thaw awh teh hatnae tueng dawk taranthawnae hoi runae ouk ao bawi tie hah ka panue.
20 IJerusalema isike yaba lamakhosi alamandla ayebusa kulolonke elangaphetsheya kweYufrathe, kubhadalwa kuwo imithelo, inkongozelo yenkosi lemithelo yokungenisa impahla elizweni.
Jerusalem vah, athakaawme siangpahrang, tui namran totouh ka uk thai e siangpahrang hai la ao bawi toe, tamuk hoi hnopai phu hoi laikawk phunaw hai a canei awh.
21 Manje-ke khuphani umlayo kulawomadoda ukuthi kabamise umsebenzi, ukuze idolobho leli lingakhiwa ngize ngitsho mina.
Ahnimanaw hah kâhat sak awh, kâ ka poe hoe roukrak teh kho hah pathoup awh na hanh naseh.
22 Nanzelelani ukuthi lingayilibali indaba le. Kuyekelelwani indaba le ikhula yona ilimaza izifiso zenkosi?
Bangkongmaw siangpahrang hanelah rawknae koe ka phat sak hane hno hah a sak awh han vaw, telah a ti.
23 Incwadi yeNkosi u-Athazekisisi yonela ukubalelwa uRehumi loShimishayi unobhala lalabo ababephathisa bahle bahamba masinyane kubaJuda eJerusalema bababamba ngamandla ukumisa umsebenzi.
