ngokuba konke oku sezweni, inkanuko yenyama , nenkanuko yamehlo , nokuzigabisa ngalokhu kuphila, akuveli kuYise, kodwa kuvela ezweni.

Kwathi umfana esekhulile , waphuma ngelinye ilanga , waya kuyise kubavuni.

Wathi kuyise: Ngafa ikhanda! Ngafa ikhanda! Wayesethi encekwini yakhe : Myise kunina.

Yathi kuyise: Mangenzelwe lokhu: ngiyeke izinyanga ezimbili ukuba ngiye , ngehlele ezintabeni, ngililele ubuntombi bami, mina nabangane bami.

Uyise nonina base bethi kuye : Akakho yini owesifazane phakathi kwamadodakazi abafowenu noma phakathi kwabo bonke abantu bami, ukuze uye kuthatha umfazi kumaFilisti angasokile , na? USamsoni wathi kuyise : Ngithathele yena, ngokuba uyathandeka kimi.

Wazitapa ngezandla zakhe, wahamba, wahamba edla, wafika kuyise nonina, wabapha, badla nabo ; kepha akabatshelanga ukuthi wayetape izinyo si esidumbini sengonyama.

Kwathi ekufikeni kwakhe wamnxusa ukuba acele insimu kuyise ; wehla embongolweni yakhe; uKalebi wathi kuye: Ukhala ngani?

Kanjalo uNkulunkulu wabuyisela ububi buka -Abimeleki abebenzile kuyise ngokubulala abafowabo abangamashumi ayisikhombisa.

Izipho zonke ezinhle neziphiwo zonke ezipheleleyo zivela phezulu , zehla kuYise wokukhanya okungekho kuye ukuguquka nasithunzi sokuphenduka.

Indodana eyisiwula ilusizi kuyise nokubaba kowayizalayo.

ngakho ephakanyiselwe ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu , esamukele kuYise isithembiso sikaMoya oNgcwele , wakuthulula lokhu enikubonayo nenikuzwayo.

Ngokuba ngaye sinokungena sobabili ngoMoya munye kuYise.

Ngenxa yalokho ngiguqa ngamadolo ami kuYise,

Kepha niyakwazi ukuthembeka kwakhe ukuthi ukhonzile kanye nami ngenxa yevangeli njengomntwana kuyise.

Kwathi ngaphambi komkhosi wePhasika uJesu azi ukuthi isikhathi sakhe sesifikile ukuba amuke kuleli zwe , aye kuYise , ebathandile abakhe abasezweni wabathanda kwaze kwaba sekupheleni.

ULizwi waba yinyama, wakha phakathi kwethu, sabona inkazimulo yakhe, inkazimulo njengeyozelwe yedwa kuYise, egcwele umusa neqiniso.

Encane yawo yayisithi kuyise : Baba, nginike isabelo sefa esiqondene nami ; wawahlukanisela impahla.

Yayisisuka, yafika kuyise ; kepha ku the isekude , uyise wayibona , waba nesihe, wagijima, wayisingatha entanyeni, wayanga.

Kodwa yaphendula, yathi kuyise: Bheka, iminyaka engaka ngikukhonzile ; angizange ngeqe umyalo wakho , kepha mina awuzange ungiphe nazinyane lembuzi ukuba ngijabule nabahlobo bami,

Kuthe iseza , idemoni layiwisa phansi , layihlukumeza kakhulu ; uJesu wamkhuza umoya ongcolileyo, wamphulukisa umfana, wambuyisela kuyise.

kepha nina nithi : U ma umuntu ethi kuyise noma kunina : YiKorbana, okungukuthi umnikelo, lokho ongabe usizwa yimi ngakho,

Wayesebuza kuyise ukuthi isikhathi sesingakanani ifikelwe yilokhu na ? Wathi: Kwasebuntwaneni.

Kepha nina nithi: Oshoyo kuyise noma kunina ukuthi : Kungumnikelo lokho ongabe usizwe yimi ngakho,

Wo kuye osho kuyise ukuthi : U zalani na ? nakowesifazane ukuthi : Unemihelo ngani na?

Yena waya kuyise , wathi: Baba! Wathi yena : Ngilapha; ungubani wena ndodana yami na?

UJakobe wathi kuyise : Ngingu-Esawu izibulo lakho ; ngenze njengalokho ungitshelile; mawuvuke, uhlale, udle ukuba umphefumulo wakho ungibusise.

Naye wenza isilovela, wasiyisa kuyise; wathi kuyise: Ubaba makavuke, adle inyamazane yendodana yakhe ukuba umphefumulo wakho ungibusise.

U-Esawu esezwa amazwi kayise wakhala nokukhala kamunyu impela, wathi kuyise: Ngibusise nami, baba!

Wayesethi u-Esawu kuyise: Baba, sinye nje isibusiso sakho na ? Ngibusise nami, baba! U-Esawu wadazuluka, wakhala.

Wathi kuyise : Mayingathukutheli inkosi yami ukuthi anginakusukuma phambi kwakho , ngokuba indlela yabesifazane ikimi . Wanyalula, kepha akazitholanga izithixo.

UShekemi wayesethi kuyise nakubanewabo : Ake ngifumane umusa emehlweni enu; lokho eniyakukusho kimi, ngiyakuninika khona.

UShekemi wakhuluma kuyise uHamori , wathi: Ngithathele le ntombazana , ibe ngumkami.

Lokhu kuyindaba kaJakobe . UJosefa eseneminyaka eyishumi nesikhombisa wawalusa umhlambi kayise enabafowabo; engumfana nje wayekuwo amadodana kaBiliha nakuwo amadodana kaZilipa omkayise; uJosefa waletha kuyise imibiko emibi ngabo.

URubeni wathi kubo : Ningachithi gazi ; mphonseni kulo mgodi osehlane , ningabeki isandla kuye, ukuba amophule esandleni sabo, ambuyisele kuyise.

Bathumela leyo ngubo enemikhono emide , bayiyisa kuyise , bathi: Siyitholile lena; ake ubone, uma le ngubo ingeyendodana yakho yini , noma akusiyo na?

Wayesekhuluma uRubeni kuyise, ethi: Bulala amadodana ami omabili, uma ngingambuyiseli kuwe; mnikele esandleni sami, ngizakumbuyisela kuwe.

Wayesethi uJosefa kuyise : Kungabi njalo , ngokuba lo uyizibulo ; beka esokunene sakho ekhanda lakhe.

Kwathi ekufikeni kwakhe wamnxusa ukuba acele insimu kuyise ; wehla embongolweni yakhe; uKalebi wathi kuye: Ukhala ngani?
