47 ¹Wandibuyisela emnyango wetempile, nanko amanzi ephuma phantsi kombundu womnyango wetempile ngasempumalanga, kuba itempile yayibheke empumalanga. Amanzi ayesihla evela ngecala lasezantsi letempile, ngasezantsi kwesibingelelo. ²Wandikhuphela ngesango lasentla, wandijikelezisa ngaphandle, wasa esangweni langaphandle elibheke empumalanga; nanko amanzi evuza ngecala lasezantsi.

³Yathi loo ndoda, iphethe ulutya lokulinganisela, yaphuma ngasempumalanga, yalinganisa iikubhite eziliwaka elinamakhulu mahlanu, yandiweza emanzini afika eqatheni. ⁴Yabuya yalinganisa iwaka elinamakhulu mahlanu, yandiweza emanzini afika emadolweni. Yabuya yalinganisa iwaka elinamakhulu mahlanu, yandiweza emanzini afika esinqeni. ⁵Yabuya yalinganisa iwaka elinamakhulu mahlanu, yaba ngumlambo endingenakuwuwela, kuba amanzi ayesenyukile, engamanzi okudadela kuwo, umlambo ongenakuwelwa.

⁶Yathi kum: “Nyana womntu, uyibonile na le nto?” Yaza yandibuyisela elunxwemeni lomlambo.

⁷Ndakubuya, ndabona imithi emininzi kakhulu emacaleni omabini omlambo. ⁸Yathi kum: “La manzi aya ngasemmandleni wasempumalanga, ehla aye eArabha, angene elwandle, ulwandle lwamanzi angatshukumiyo, aze amanzi aphile. ⁹Apho uthe wafika khona lo mlambo, zonke izinto eziphilileyo ezinambuzelayo ziya kuphila, zibe ninzi kunene neentlanzi; kuba la manzi afika khona, athi amanzi olwandle aphile, zonke izinto ziya kuphila apho uthe waya khona lo mlambo. ¹⁰Ababambisi beentlanzi baya kuma ngakuwo; kuthabathela e-Engedi kuse e-Eneglayim, ibe yindawo yokwaneka iminatha. Iintlanzi zawo, ngeentlobo ngeentlobo, zifana neentlanzi zolwandle olukhulu. Zininzi kunene. ¹¹Kodwa imigxobhozo yawo nemihosha yawo ayiyi kuphila; ishiyelwe ityuwa. ¹²Emacaleni omabini kohluma imithi yeziqhamo ngeentlobo zonke. Amagqabi ayo akayi kubuna, neziqhamo zayo azisayi kuphela; inyanga ngenyanga zoba neziqhamo ezintsha, ngokuba amanzi ayo aphuma engcweleni. Iziqhamo zayo zisisidlo, namagqabi ayo abe ngawokuphilisa.” ^a a v12 Lo mlambo uphuma engcweleni kaBawo wethu, ucaleke yimithi amagqabi ayo aphilisayo, uphinda ubaleke kumbono kaYohane — umlambo wobomi ophuma etroneni, kunye nomthi amagqabi awo angawokuphilisa iintlanga (ISityhilelo 22:1-2).

UBawo Wethu Wolaba Ilizwe

¹³Itsho iNkosi enguBawo oyiNgangalala, ithi: “Nayo le imida yokulaba ilizwe libe lilifa kwizizwe ezilishumi elinazibini zakwaSirayeli: uYosefu wofumana izabelo zibe zibini. ¹⁴Lilabeni ngokulinganayo; ndafunga ukubanika ooyihlo, lwaye eli lizwe liya kuba lilifa lenu.

¹⁵Nguwo lo umda welizwe: ngasentla, lothabathela elwandle olukhulu, ngeHetelon, use ekuyeni eHamati, eTsedada,

¹⁶eBherota, neSibhrayim (ephakathi komda waseDamasko nowaseHamati), neHatsere-hatikon, emdeni waseHaveran. ¹⁷Ngoko umda wothabathela elwandle use eHatsare-enan, emdeni waseDamasko, umda waseHamati ube ngasentla. Lelo icala lasentla.

¹⁸Icala lasempumalanga lophakathi kweHaveran neDamasko, lithabathele ngaseYordan, phakathi kweGiliyadi nelizwe lakwaSirayeli, use elwandle lwasempumalanga, usa eTamare. Lelo icala lasempumalanga.

¹⁹Icala lasezantsi lothabathela eTamare, use emanzini aseMeribha eKadeshe, uye emlanjaneni waseYiputa, use elwandle olukhulu. Lelo icala lasezantsi, ngasezantsi.

²⁰Ngecala lasentshonalanga, umda woba lulwandle olukhulu, uye malunga nekuyeni eHamati. Lelo icala lasentshonalanga.

²¹Ngoko lilabeni phakathi kwenu eli lizwe ngokwezizwe zakwaSirayeli. ²²Nolabela ngeqashiso libe lilifa lenu, kwaabasemzini abaphambukele phakathi kwenu, abazala oonyana phakathi kwenu. Nobaphatha njengabazalelwe kwaSirayeli; baya kufumana ilifa kunye nani phakathi kwezizwe zakwaSirayeli.” ²³Esizweni asukuba kuso owasemzini aphambukele kuso, nomnika ilifa lakhe khona, itsho iNkosi enguBawo oyiNgangalala.
