22 For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him.
22 Maana naliona haya kumwomba mfalme kikosi cha askari na wapanda farasi, ili kutusaidia juu ya adui njiani; kwa maana tulikuwa tumesema na mfalme, tukinena, Mkono wa Mungu u juu ya watu wote wamtafutao, kuwatendea mema; bali uweza wake na ghadhabu yake ni kinyume cha wote wamwachao.
