Ukuphumla Komhlaba

¹⁰“Woyihlwayela iminyaka emithandathu intsimi yakho, uhlanganise ungeniselo lwayo, ¹¹ke ngomnyaka wesixhenxe uze uyiyekelele, uyishiye ingalinywa, ukuze badle amahlwempu abantu bakho; into eseleyo yodliwa ziinyamakazi zasendle. Wenze njalo nasesidiliyeni sakho nakwisinquma sakho.

¹³“Nize niqaphele kuko konke endikuthethileyo kuni. Ize ningalikhankanyi igama loothixo bambi; malingavakali emlonyeni wenu.

Imithendeleko Emithathu Phambi KoBawo Wenu

¹⁴“Izihlandlo ezithathu ngomnyaka uze undenzele umthendeleko. ¹⁵Uze uwugcine umthendeleko wezonka ezingenagwele: iintsuku ezisixhenxe wodla izonka ezingenagwele, njengoko ndakuyalelayo, ngexesha elimisiweyo lenyanga enguAbhibhi—kuba ngayo le nyanga owemkayo eYiputa. Akuyi kubonakala mntu ebusweni bam elambatha. ^a a v15 UAviv yinyanga yasentwasahlobo, xa ivuthwa ingqolowa—eyabizwa kamva ngokuba nguNisan. AmaSirayeli aphuma eYiputa ngale nyanga. ¹⁶Uze uwugcine umthendeleko wokuvuna—intlahlela yongeniselo lwakho oluhlwayele entsimini—kwanomthendeleko wokuhlanganisela ekupheleni komnyaka, xa uthe wahlanganisa ungeniselo lwakho entsimini. ¹⁷Kathathu ngomnyaka onke amadoda akowenu aya kubonakala phambi koBawo oyiNkosi.

¹⁹“Uze uzise ezona ntlahlela zilungileyo zomhlaba wakho endlwini kaBawo wakho. Itakane uze ungalipheki ngobisi lukanina.

Isithunywa Esithunyelwe Phambili

²⁰“Yabona, mna ndithuma isithunywa phambi kwakho ukuba sikugcine endleleni, sikuzise kuloo ndawo ndiyilungisileyo. ²¹Zigcine phambi kwaso, usiphulaphule izwi laso. Uze ungasichasi—kuba asiyi kuzixolela izikreqo zakho, ngokuba igama lam liphakathi kwaso. ^b b v21 Ukuthi ‘igama lam liphakathi kwaso’ kuthetha ukuba isithunywa siphethe igunya lonke likaThixo nobukho bakhe. ²²Kodwa ukuba uthe waliphulaphula okwenene izwi laso, wenza konke endikutshoyo, ndoba lutshaba kwiintshaba zakho, ndibe ngumchasi kwabachasene nawe. ²³“Isithunywa sam soya phambi kwakho, sikuzise kuma-Amori, namaHeti, namaPerizi, namaKanan, namaHivi, namaYebhusi, ndize mna ndiwatshayele. ²⁴“Uze ungaqubudi koothixo babo, ungabakhonzi, ungalandeli iintlondi zabo. Uze ubadilize baphele, uziqhekeze izimiso zabo zamatye zibe ngamacwili. ²⁵Uze umkhonze uBawo wakho, aze asikelele isonka sakho namanzi akho; ndize ndisuse isifo phakathi kwenu. ²⁶Akuyi kubakho nto iphunzayo nokuba iludlolo ezweni lakho; ndiya kuyizalisa imihla yakho. ²⁷Ndothuma uqhiphulo-mbilini lwam phambi kwakho, ndilubhide lonke uhlanga ohlangana nalo, ndize ndenze iintshaba zakho zonke zikunikele ikhosi. ²⁸Ndothuma oonomeva phambi kwakho, bawagxothe amaHivi, namaKanan, namaHeti phambi kwakho. ^c c v28 ‘Oonomeva’ kungathetha oonomeva ngokwenene nokuba kukunkwantya nokubhideka uThixo akuthumela phambi kwamaSirayeli. ²⁹Andiyi kubagxotha phambi kwakho ngomnyaka omnye, hleze ilizwe libe senkangala, zande iinyamakazi zasendle ngakuwe. ³⁰Ndobagxotha kancinci kancinci phambi kwakho, ude wande, ulihluthe ilizwe. ³¹Ndowumisa umda wakho uthabathele eLwandle oluBomvu use eLwandle lwamaFilisti, uthabathele entlango use eMlanjeni, kuba ndiya kukunikela ebantwini belo zwe, uze ubagxothe phambi kwakho. ^d d v31 “ULwandle oluBomvu” luvela kwisiHebhere esithi Yam Suf (“uLwandle lweMizi”); “uLwandle lwamaFilisti” = iMeditera; “uMlambo” = umEfrati. ³²Uze ungenzi mnqophiso nabo, nokuba ngoothixo babo. ³³Mabangahlali ezweni lakho, hleze bakwenze wone kum—ukuba uthe wakhonza oothixo babo, oko kuya kuba ngumgibe kuwe okunene.”
