Xwaya esifweni sochoko ukuba uqaphelisise , wenze njengakho konke abapristi bamaLevi abayakukufundisa khona ; njengokubayala kwami anoqaphela ukwenze njalo.

Ngomnyaka wamashumi amathathu nesishiyagalolunye wokubusa kwakhe u-Asa waba nesifo ezinyaweni zakhe ; isifo sakhe sasinzima kakhulu ; kepha akafunanga uJehova esifweni sakhe, izinyanga zodwa.

Ngasemuva, usho uJehova , ngiyakunikela uSedekiya inkosi yakwaJuda , nezinceku zakhe , nabantu abasele kulo muzi esifweni , nasenkembeni, nasendlaleni, nasesandleni sikaNebukadinesari inkosi yaseBabele , nasesandleni sezitha zabo , nasesandleni sabafuna ukuphila kwabo , abashaye ngosiko lwenkemba, angabasindisi, angabahawukeli, angabi namusa kubo.

Ngokuba ingelosi yayehla izikhathi ngezikhathi , izamazamise amanzi, kuthi lowo ongene kuqala emva kokuzanyazanyiswa kwamanzi asinde esifweni sakhe, noma enasifo sini.
