Futhi mina nganikhuphula ezweni laseGibithe , nganihambisa iminyaka engamashumi amane ehlane ukuba nidle ifa lezwe lama-Amori.

Ngiyakubaxosha phambi kwakho kancane kancane , ukuze wande, udle ifa lezwe.

Ekukhaleni kwakho izixuku zezithombe zakho mazikop hule, kepha umoya uzakuzisusa zonke, ukuphefumula kuzithathe; kodwa othemba kimi uzakudla ifa lezwe, adle nefa lentaba yami engcwele.

Abantu bakho bayakuba ngabalungileyo bonke , badle ifa lezwe kuze kube phakade, igatsha lokutshala kwami , umsebenzi wezandla zami , ukuba ngidunyiswe.

Abaseningizimu bayakudla ifa lentaba yakwa -Esawu, nabasehlanzeni ifa lamaFilisti, badle ifa lezwe lakwa -Efrayimi nezwe laseSamariya , uBenjamini adle iGileyadi.

UJehova wayesethi kimi : Bheka, ngiqalile ukunikela uSihoni nezwe lakhe phambi kwakho: qala ukulidla ukuba udle ifa lezwe lakhe.

akuphe isibusiso sika-Abrahama, wena nenzalo yakho kanye nawe , udle ifa lezwe lokugogobala kwakho uNkulunkulu amnika lona u-Abrahama.

Njengalokho ngahlulelana nawoyihlo ehlane lezwe laseGibithe , kanjalo ngiyakwahlulelana nani, isho iNkosi uJehova.

Ndodana yomuntu, abakhe ezincithakalweni ezweni lakwa -Israyeli basho bathi: U -Abrahama wayemunye , wadla ifa lezwe ; kepha thina sibaningi, siphiwe lona libe yifa lethu.

Ngalokho thana kubo : Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Nidla okunegazi , niphakamisa amehlo enu ezithombeni zenu, nichitha igazi. Pho, niyakudla ifa lezwe na?

Niyethemba enkembeni yenu , nenza izinengiso , ningcolisa, kube yilowo nalowo umkamakhelwane wakhe. Pho, niyakudla ifa lezwe na?

Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Nanku umkhawulo eniyakwahlukanisa ngawo ifa lezwe ngokwezizwe eziyishumi nambili zakwa-Israyeli, uJosefa abe nezabelo ezimbili.

Kepha ngishilo kini ukuthi : Niyakulidla ifa lezwe labo , ngininike lona libe ngelenu, izwe elichichima ubisi nezinyosi , nginguJehova onahlukanisile nabezizwe.

Isabatha lezwe liyakuba ngukudla kwenu , okwakho nokwenceku yakho nokwencekukazi yakho nokomqashwa wakho nokomfokazi wakho ogogobeleyo kuwe;

nidle ifa lezwe, nihlale kulo, ngokuba ngininikile izwe ukuba nilidle.
