Kade kwakukhona amakhosi anamandla naphezu kweJerusalema, ayebusa lonke elingaphesheya koMfula; aphiwa intela, nenkokhiso, nemali yendlela.

Ake ngiwele, ngilibone izwe elihle elingaphesheya kweJordani , leyo ntaba enhle, neLebanoni.

Baya, bafika eGoreni Hathadi elingaphesheya kweJordani ; lapho bakhala nokukhala impela , okunzima kakhulu ; wamenzela uyise isililo izinsuku eziyisikhombisa.

Abakhileyo ezweni , amaKhanani, sebebone isililo eGoreni Ha thadi bathi : Lokhu kuyisililo esinzima sabaseGibithe . Ngalokho igama laleyo ndawo laqanjwa ngokuthi i-Abela Misirayimi elingaphesheya kweJordani.
