Kepha yathi : Uma uJehova engakusizi , mina ngingatholaphi usizo na ? Esibuyeni noma esikhamweni sewayini na?

Kwafika ingelosi kaJehova , yahlala phansi kwe -oki lase -Ofira likaJowashi umAbiyezeri; indodana yakhe uGideyoni yayibhula ukolweni esikhamweni sewayini ukuba amthukusele abakwaMidiyani.

Abamba izikhulu ezimbili zakwaMidiyani , o-Orebi noZebi , ambulala u - Orebi ngasedwaleni lika-Orebi, noZebi bambulala ngasesikhamweni sewayini sikaZebi, abaxosha abakwaMidiyani ; aletha ikhanda lika -Orebi nelikaZebi kuGideyoni phesheya kweJordani.

Umuzi omkhulu waba yizinqamu ezintathu , nemizi yabezizwe ya wa. NeBabiloni elikhulu lakhunjulwa phambi kukaNkulunkulu ukuba alinike isitsha sewayini lolaka lwakhe oluvuthayo.

Emlonyeni wakhe kwaphuma inkemba ebukhali , ukuze ashaye izizwe ngayo; yena uyakuzibusa ngentonga yensimbi ; yena uqobo uyanyathela isikhamo sewayini lentukuthelo yolaka lukaNkulunkulu uMninimandla onke.

INkosi ilahlile onke amaqhawe ami phakathi kwami ; ingibizele umhlangano ukuphahlaza izinsizwa zami ; iNkosi inyathele njengasesikhamweni sewayini intombi eyindodakazi yakwaJuda.

Kungani ukuba izambatho zakho zibomvu , nezingubo zakho zinjengezonyathela esikhamweni sewayini, na?

Isikhamo sewayini ngisinyathele ngingedwa; kwakungekho nami noyedwa kubantu; ngabanyathela ngentukuthelo yami , ngabaciphiza ngokufutheka kwami, negazi labo lasaphazeka ezingutsheni zami , ngazingcolisa zonke izambatho zami.

Uyakumthwesa nokumthwesa ngezimvu zakho , nangokwesibuya sakho , nangokwesikhamo sakho sewayini; njengalokho uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ekubusisile, kanjalo womnika yena.

Wogcina umkhosi wamadokodo izinsuku eziyisikhombisa emva ko kuba usubuthile okwesibuya sakho nokwesikhamo sakho sewayini,

Isibuya nesikhamo sewayini akuyikubafunza , iwayini elisha liyakumkhohlisa.

Fakani isikela , ngokuba okuzakuvunwa sekuvuthiwe ; ngokuba isikhamo sewayini sigcwele , nezikhongozelo ziyachichima , ngokuba ububi babo bukhulu.

Umnikelo wenu wokuphakanyiswa uyakubalelwa nina , njengalokho bekungamabele esibuya nanjengokugcwala kwesikhamo sewayini.

Ngalokho uyakusho kubo ukuthi : Nxa niphakamisa okuhle kwayo , kuyakubalelwa amaLevi njengokwanda kwesibuya nokwanda kwesikhamo sewayini.

Lonke izwe liyakuphenduka ithafa kusukela eGeba kuze kube seRimoni ngaseningizimu kwaseJerusalema; liyakuphakanyiswa, lihlale endaweni yalo, kusukela eSangweni likaBenjamini kuze kube sendaweni yesango lakuqala , kuze kube seSangweni Lasegumbini , kusukela eMbhoshongweni kaHananeli kuze kube sesikhamweni sewayini senkosi.
