2 INkosi inguNkulunkulu olomona ^d lophindiselayo ^e; iNkosi ingumphindiseli, njalo ilolaka; iNkosi ingumphindiseli ezitheni zayo ^f, igcinela izitha zayo ulaka ^g. 3 INkosi iyaphuza ukuthukuthela ^h, njalo yinkulu ngamandla ⁱ, kayiyikumkhulula lokumkhulula olecala ^j; iNkosi, indlela yayo isesivunguzaneni ^k lesiphepheni ^l, lamayezi aluthuli lwenyawo zayo. 4 Ikhuza ulwandle, ilwenze lome, yomise yonke imifula ^m: IBashani ^{n
