Bafica idlelo elivundileyo lelihle, lommango obanzi emaceleni, lolokuzola, lolokuthula; ngoba abakoHamu babehlala khona endulo.
41 And these described by name, came in the dayes of Hezekiah king of Iudah, and smote their tents, and the inhabitants that were found there, and destroyed them vtterly vnto this day, and dwelt in their roume, because there was pasture there for their sheepe.
Lalabo ababebhalwe ngamabizo bafika ensukwini zikaHezekhiya inkosi yakoJuda, batshaya amathente lendawo zokuhlala ezazitholakala khona, babatshabalalisa kuze kube lamuhla; bahlala endaweni zabo, ngoba kwakukhona lapho idlelo lezimvu zabo.
