2 Ndamwisela umthetho uHanani umzalwana wam, noHananiya umphathi wenqaba, ngeYerusalem; ngokuba ebeyindoda enyanisekileyo, emoyikayo uThixo ngaphezu kwabaninzi.
3 Ndathi kubo, Amasango aseYerusalem makangavulwa, lide lifudumale ilanga; bathi, besemi belinda, bazivale iingcango, bazitshixe; nimise abagcini abangabemi baseYerusalem, elowo abe selugcinweni lwakhe, elowo abe phambi kwendlu yakhe.
4 Umzi ububanzi ngeenxa zombini, umkhulu; abantu bembalwa phakathi kwawo, kungakhiwanga zindlu.
