Yadidizela intliziyo yakhe nentliziyo yabantu bakhe, njengokudidizela kwemithi yehlathi phambi komoya.
3Wathi uYehova kuIsaya, Khawuphume uye umkhawulele uAhazi, wena noMasalela-obuya unyana wakho, ekupheleni komjelo wechibi lasentla, emendweni ongasentsimini yomxovuli weengubo; 4uthi kuye, Gcinisa, uzole, ungoyiki, ingathambi intliziyo yakho ngenxa yezo zikhondo zibini zezikhuni eziqhumayo, ekuvutheni komsindo kaRetsin nama-Aram, nonyana kaRemaliya; 5ngenxa enokuba ama-Aram namaEfrayim nonyana kaRemaliya becebile ububi ngawe, besithi, 6Masinyuke siye kwelakwaYuda, silikruqule, silinqike libe lelethu, simise ukumkani phakathi kwalo, unyana kaTabhele; 7itsho iNkosi uYehova, ukuthi, Loo nto ayiyi kuma, ayiyi kubakho. 8Ngokuba intloko yama-Aram yiDamasko, intloko yeDamasko nguRetsin; kuya kuthi iseyiminyaka emashumi mathandathu anamihlanu, aqotywe amaEfrayim, angabi bantu. 9Intloko yamaEfrayim kukwaSamari, intloko yakwaSamari ngunyana kaRemaliya.
