Akukho Namnye Osinda eSandleni sikaBawo
Akukho ndawo yokuzimela kuBawo wethu — nokuba kwelabafileyo, nokuba ezulwini, nokuba ezantsi elwandle. Kodwa ukunyikimisa kusisisefo, kungawi nelityana. Ilizwi lokugqibela lolokwakha kwakhona: umnquba owileyo kaDavide uphakanyiswe, imizi eyayingamanxuwa ihlalwe, uSirayeli utyalwe angabi sanyothulwa.
9 1Ndabona iNkosi uBawo imi ngasesibingelelweni, yathi: “Betha iintloko zeentsika ukuze kuzamazame imibundu, uziqhekeze phezu kweentloko zabo bonke; abo basele ndiya kubabulala ngekrele. Akukho namnye oya kubaleka, akukho namnye oya kusinda. 2Nokuba bangemba baye kwelabafileyo, isandla sam siya kubathabatha khona; nokuba benyuka baye ezulwini, ndiya kubehlisa khona. 3Nokuba bezimela encotsheni yeKarmele, ndiya kubafuna khona ndibabambe; nokuba bezifihla emehlweni am ezantsi elwandle, ndiya kuyiwisela umthetho inyoka khona, ize ibalume. 4Nokuba bathinjwa phambi kweentshaba zabo, ndiya kuliwisela umthetho ikrele khona, lize libabulale; ndiya kuwamisa amehlo am phezu kwabo ngenxa yobubi, kungabi kokulungileyo.”
