Abantu abaningi beza batshela uJehoshafati
ukuthi ibutho elinkulu lalisondela Ukuzolwa naye.
Esesaba lezindaba, uJohoshaphat wamemezela
Ukuzinikela ekungadli ebantwini bonke beJuda.
Abantu beza besuka kuwonke amadolobho aseJuda
ukuze bazinikele ekungadli bethandaza bonke.
Saba ingxenye yeqembu elikhulu, uJehoshafati
wayecela uNkulunkulu ngobuqotho Ukuthi ancedise.
Indoda okuthiwa nguJahaziyeli yasukuma yathi
uJehoshaphat Akufanele akhathazeke--
Ngoba akusompi yakhe, kodwa ngekaNkulunkulu.
Kwakusekuseni sisuka
Ehlaneni laseThekowa.
Sasikhathazekile ngokubhekana nebutho leli elikhulu,
Kodwa satshelwa ukuthi sikholwe.
Sasithandazile njalo.
Iqembu lethu lathi lifika equmbeni,
sabona izidumbu yonke ndawo.
Isitha sasesibulelene sodwa.
Imthandazo kaJehoshaphat yamqobisa impi engalwanga.
