Izinkomo zaqonda endleleni, zaya ngaseBeti Shemeshi, zahamba ngomendo, zihamba zikhala, zingaphambukeli ngakwesokunene noma ngakwesokhohlo ; amakhosi amaFilisti azilandela, aze afika emkhawulweni waseBeti Shemeshi.

Izigijimi za shesha zahamba ngezwi lenkosi . Umthetho washaywa eShushani endlini yenkosi; inkosi noHamani bahlala phansi , baphuza, kepha umuzi waseShushani wakhungatheka.

Ngiyakuphakamisela izintaba ukukhala nokulila , namadlelo asehlane ukulilisela, ngokuba ashisiwe kungekho muntu odlula kuwo , kungezwakali ukukhonya kwezinkomo; izinyoni zezulu nezilwane zibalekile, zahamba.

Zahamba zonke ngokuqonda kobuso bazo , zaya khona , lapho umo ya wayethanda ukuya khona, aziphendukanga ekuhambeni kwazo.

Wathuma izithunywa phambi kwakhe ; zahamba, zangena emzini wamaSamariya ukuba zimlungisele.
