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.
