Ungayithemba ukuthi izalayitsha amabele akho na iwase esizeni?
13 “Ko e kapakau ʻoe ʻositalesi ke kapakapa: ka ʻoku puna hake ʻae sitoaka mo e falekoni.
Impiko zentshe zitshaya kakuhle, kodwa ngeke zilinganiswe lempiko kanye lezinsiba zengabuzane.
14 Vakai, ʻoku ne fakato hono ngaahi fua ʻi he kelekele, ʻo ne fakamafana ia ʻi he efu,
Ibekela amaqanda ayo emhlabathini iwayekele afudumale etshebetshebeni,

16 Kuo fakafefeka ʻene anga ki hono fānganga ʻo hangē ʻoku ʻikai ʻaʻana ʻakinautolu: ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻene ngāue taʻemanavahē;
Amatsiyane ayo iyawakhahlameza, kube sengathi akusi wayo; ingakhathali ukuthi ukubekela kwayo kwaba yize,
17 Koeʻuhi kuo fakamasivaʻi ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he poto, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tuku kiate ia ʻae faʻa ʻilo.

25 ʻOku pehē ʻe ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi meʻa lea, ‘He, he;’ pea nanamu ki he tau ʻi he kei mamaʻo, ko e mana ʻoe kau taki tau, mo ʻenau mavava.
Konela ukuthi likhale icilongo lihwabhe lithi, ‘Aha!’ Lihle lilizwe iphunga lempi isesekhatshana, ukukhwaza kwezinduna lomkhosi wempi.
26 “ʻOku puna ʻae falekoni ʻi hoʻo poto, ʻo mafao atu hono kapakau ki he feituʻu tonga?
Ukhozi luphatshiswa yikuhlakanipha kwakho na lwelule impiko zalo ziqonde eningizimu?

Ukhozi luntweza ngokutshelwa nguwe yini kanye lokwakhela isidleke salo esiqongweni?
28 ʻOku nofo ia ʻo tatali ʻi he maka, ʻi he maka hangatāmaki, mo e potu mālohi.
Luhlala eliweni, lulale khona ebusuku; idwala elililiwa yilo inqaba yalo.
29 ʻOku kumi mei ai ʻene meʻakai, pea ʻoku sio hono mata mei he mamaʻo.
Ludinga ukudla kwayo lusuka khona; amehlo alo akubona ekude.
30 ʻOku mimisi hake foki ʻe hono ʻuhiki ʻae toto: pea ko e potu ko ia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae mate, ʻoku ʻi ai ia.”
Amatsiyane alo azitika ngegazi, kuthi lapho okulokubuleweyo khona lalo lukhona.”
