24 ¹UBhileham wabona ukuba kulunga emehlweni kaBawo wethu ukumsikelela uSirayeli, ngoko ke akabanga safuna izihlabo njengawokuqala, koko wabubhekisa ubuso bakhe entlango. ²UBhileham waphakamisa amehlo akhe, wabona uSirayeli emise ngokwezizwe zakhe; waza uMoya kaBawo wethu wamfikela. ³Wasusela ngomzekeliso wakhe, wathi: “Umzekeliso kaBhileham unyana kaBhehore, umzekeliso wendoda evula iliso, ⁴umzekeliso walowo weva amazwi kaBawo wethu, obona umbono kaSomandla, equbuda evula amehlo akhe: ⁵Hayi, zihle kangakanani na iintente zakho, Yakobi, iindawo zakho zokuhlala, Sirayeli! ⁶Njengezihlambo ezoluleka kude, njengomyezo ongasemlanjeni, njengamakhala uBawo wethu awatyalileyo, njengemisedare engasemanzini. ⁷Amanzi aya kuphalazwa emathungeni akhe, imbewu yakhe iya kuba namanzi amaninzi. Ukumkani wakhe uya kuba phezulu kunoAgagi, yaye ubukumkani bakhe buya kuphakanyiswa. ^a a v7 UAgagi wayengukumkani wama-Amaleki, utshaba lwakwaSirayeli lwexesha elide — ukumkani wakwaSirayeli uya kumgqitha. ⁸UBawo wethu umkhupha eYiputa uSirayeli; uSirayeli unjengeempondo zenqu kubo. Uya kuzidla izizwe ezimchasayo, awaphule amathambo azo, azihlabe ngeentolo zakhe. ⁹Uyaguqa, alale phantsi njengengonyama, njengengonyamakazi—ngubani onobuganga bokumvusa yena? Basikelelwe abo bakusikelelayo, baqalekiswe abo bakuqalekisayo.”

¹⁰Wavutha umsindo kaBhalaki ngakuBhileham, waza waqhwaba izandla zakhe. UBhalaki wathi kuBhileham: “Ndikubizele ukuba uziqalekise iintshaba zam, kodwa nanku uzisikelele kathathu ngoku! ¹¹Ngoku balekela ekhaya! Bendithe ndiya kukunika imbeko enkulu, kodwa uThixo ukuthintele embekweni.”

¹²Waphendula uBhileham, wathi kuBhalaki: “Andithethanga na nabathunywa owabathuma kum, ndisithi: ¹³‘Nokuba uBhalaki angandinika indlu yakhe ezele yigolide nesilivere, andinako ukuwugqitha umlomo kaThixo wam, ndizenzele okulungileyo nokuba kokubi ngokwam; oko uThixo wam akuthethayo kum, kuko kuphela endikuthethayo’? ¹⁴Kaloku ke ndibuye kubantu bakowethu. Yiza, ndikuqononondise ngoko aba bantu baya kukwenza kubantu bakho ngemihla ezayo.”

Inkwenkwezi Ephuma KuYakobi

¹⁵Wasusela ngomzekeliso wakhe, wathi: “Umzekeliso kaBhileham unyana kaBhehore, umzekeliso wendoda evula iliso, ¹⁶umzekeliso walowo weva amazwi kaBawo wethu, owaziyo ukwazi koPhezukonke, obona umbono kaSomandla, equbuda evula amehlo akhe: ¹⁷Ndiyambona, kodwa kungenjalo ngoku; ndimjonga, kodwa engekho kufuphi. Kuya kuvela inkwenkwezi kuYakobi, kuvele nentonga kwaSirayeli; iya kulityumza ibunzi lakwaMowabhi, ibhukuqe bonke oonyana bakaSheti. ^b b v17 UBhileham, itola lasemzini, wenziwa ukuba aprofete ngoKumkani ozayo. Le nkwenkwezi nale ntonga ekugqibeleni zalatha kuYesu, lowo iTestamente eNtsha imbiza ngokuba ‘yikhwezi lokusa eliqaqambileyo’ nomlawuli ophuma kumlibo kaYakobi. ¹⁸UEdom uya koyiswa, noSehire, iintshaba zakhe, uya koyiswa, lo gama uSirayeli ekhula esomelela. ¹⁹Omnye ophuma kuYakobi uya kulawula, atshabalalise abasindileyo bomzi.”

²⁰Waza uBhileham wabona uAmaleki, wasusela ngomzekeliso wakhe, wathi: “UAmaleki wayengowokuqala ezizweni, kodwa ukuphela kwakhe kuya kutshabalala ngokupheleleyo.”

²¹Wawujonga umKeni, wasusela ngomzekeliso wakhe, wathi: “Indawo yakho yokuhlala iqinile, isidleke sakho usibeke eweni. ²²Kodwa uKayin uya kudliwa xa uAsuri ekuthimba akuse ekuthinjweni.”

²³Wasusela ngomzekeliso wakhe, wathi: “Ngubani onokuphila xa uThixo esenza oku? ²⁴Iinqanawa ziya kuvela ngaselunxwemeni lwamaKiti; ziya kumcinezela uAsuri, zimcinezele noEbhere, kodwa nazo ngokunjalo ziya kutshabalala ngokupheleleyo.” ^c c v24 AmaKiti abhekisa kumazwe asezinxwemeni asentshona yoLwandle oluPhakathi — amandla aselwandle asaza kuza achasene namaAsiriya.

²⁵Waza uBhileham wesuka wabuyela ekhaya lakhe, naye uBhalaki wahamba indlela yakhe.
