Wabutha abapristi namaLevi, wathi kubo: Phumani niye emizini yakwaJuda, niqoqe ku -Israyeli wonke imali yokulungisa indlu kaNkulunkulu wenu iminyaka ngeminyaka, niyisheshise le ndaba. Kepha amaLevi awasheshanga.

bezwakalise, bathumele izwi emizini yabo yonke naseJerusalema lokuthi : Phumani, niye entabeni, nilande amagatsha omnqumo , namagatsha omnqumo wasendle , namagatsha ombomvana , namagatsha esundu , namagatsha emithi edumbileyo, nenze amadokodo njengokulotshiweyo.

Phumani nina madodakazi aseJerusalema , nibone inkosi uSolomoni , inomqhele eyawuqheliswa ngunin a ngosuku lokugcagca kway o nangomhla wokuthokoza kwenhliziyo yayo.

Phumani eBabele , nibalekele amaKaledi , nimemezele lokhu ngezwi lokujabula, nikuzwakalise lokhu , nikuphumisele nasemikhawulweni yomhlaba, ngokuthi: UJehova uhlengile inceku yakhe uJakobe.

uthi kwababoshiweyo : Phumani, nakwabasebumnyameni: Velani. Bayakuklaba ngasezindleleni, amadlelo abo abe semagqumeni onke.

Phumani, niphume ngamasango , niyilungise indlela yabantu ; hlelani, niwuhlele umendo, niwakhiphe amatshe; niphakamisele izizwe ibhanela.

Phumani phakathi kwalo , bantu bami , nizikhulule, kube yilowo nalow o ekufuthekeni kwentukuthelo kaJehova.

Wathi kuwo : Ngcolisani indlu , nigcwalise amagceke ngababuleweyo . Phumani! Aphuma, abulala emzini.

Wayesesondela uNebukadinesari emnyango wesithando somlilo ovuthayo ; wakhuluma wathi : Shadiraki, Meshaki, no-Abedi Nego , nina zinceku zikaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke , phumani nize lapha . Base bephuma oShadiraki, noMeshaki, no-Abedi Nego phakathi komlilo.

Kepha phakathi kobusuku kwamenyezwa ukuthi : Nangu umyeni; phumani niye kumhlangabeza!

Umgciniziboshwa wabikela uPawulu law o mazwi , wathi: Izinduna zithumele ukuba nikhululwe. Ngakho phumani manje, nihambe ngokuthula.

Ngakho-ke phumani phakathi kwabo , nahlukane nabo , isho iNkosi ; ningathinti okungcolileyo; khona ngiyakunamukela,

Ngase ngizwa elinye izwi livela ezulwini , lithi: Phumani kulo, bantu bami, ukuze ningahlanganyeli nalo izono zalo, nokuba ningamukeli okwezinhlupho zalo,
