Umlambo wobomi ophuma etempileni
1Wandibuyisela emnyango wayo indlu; nanko, kuphuma amanzi ngaphantsi kombundu womnyango wendlu leyo, esinga ngasempumalanga; ngokuba ubuso bayo indlu bebungasempumalanga. Amana esihla amanzi, evela ngaphantsi, ecaleni lokunene kwindlu leyo, ngasezantsi kwesibingelelo.
2Waphuma nam ngendlela yesango langasentla, wandijikelezisa ngendlela engaphandle, wandísa esangweni elingaphandle, ngendlela yelibheké empumalanga; nango, amanzi equkuqela, evela ecaleni lokunene lesango. 3Ekuphumeni komntu obephethe ulutya lokulinganisa ngesandla, esiya ngasempumalanga, walinganisa iwaka leekubhite;• wandiweza emanzini, amanzi abetha emaqatheni. 4Walinganisa iwaka, wandiweza emanzini, amanzi abetha emadolweni. Walinganisa iwaka, wandiweza emanzini, amanzi abetha esinqeni. 5Walinganisa iwaka, aba ngumlambo endingenakuwuwela; ngokuba amanzi ahamba phezulu, amanzi aba ngawokudadwa, umlambo ongenakuwelwa. 6Wathi kum, Ubonile na, nyana womntu?
Wandihambisa, wandibuyisa phezu kodini lomlambo lowo. 7Ekubuyeni kwam, nanko kukho eludinini lomlambo imithi emininzi kunene, ngapha nangapha.
8Wathi kum, La manzi aphuma aye kummandla wasempumalanga, ehle aye eArabha, aye elwandle, athi éle elwandle, aphiliswe amanzi alo. 9Kuye kuthi ke, yonke imiphefumlo ephilileyo, enyakazelayo ezindaweni zonke othe wafika kuzo umlambokazi lowo, iphile; zibe zininzi kunene iintlanzi; ngokuba efikile khona la manzi, ophiliswa lawa; iphile yonke into ofike kuyo umlambo lowo. 10Kothi ke kumè ababambisi beentlanzi phezu kwawo, bathabathele e-En-gedi, bade baye e-En-heglayim, indawo yokwaneka iminatha; ziya kuba ngokohlobo lwazo iintlanzi zabo, njengeentlanzi zolwandle olukhulu, ukuba zìninzi kunene. 11Ke imigxobhozo yalo, namadike alo, akayi kuphila; aya kunikelwa ekubeni mtyuba. 12Kophuma phezu komlambo, phezu kodini lwawo, ngapha nangapha, imithi yonke edliwayo. Amagqabi ayo akayi kubuna, zingapheli iziqhamo zayo; iya kuvuthwa iziqhamo ezitsha ngeenyanga zonke; ngokuba amanzi awo wona aphuma engcweleni. Iziqhamo zayo ziya kuba zezokudliwa, namagqabi ayo abe ngawokuphilisa.
Umda welizwe
13Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Nguwo lo umda, eniya kuzabela ngawo ilizwe, ngokwezizwe ezilishumi elinazibini zikaSirayeli; uYosefu woba namacandelo amabini. 14Ilizwe niya kulidla ilifa, elowo alidle njengowabo; ngokuba ndaphakamisa isandla sam sokuba ndilinike oyihlo; lowela kuni eli lizwe ngokwelifa. 15Nguwo lo umda welizwe elo: ngecala langasentla wóthabathela kulwandle olukhulu ngendlela yaseHetelon, ukuba uye eTsedada; 16eHamati, naseBherota, naseSibrayim, ephakathi komda waseDamasko nomda waseHamati, naseHatsere ephakathi, esemdeni waseHawuran. 17Umda uthabathela elwandle, ume ngeHatsare-enon, umda waseDamasko; owasentla ngasentla umda waseHamati. 18Licala lasentla ke elo. Icala langasempumalanga, phakathi kweHawuran neDamasko neGiliyadi nelizwe lakwaSirayeli, yiYordan; nothabathela emdeni lowa, nise phezu kolwandle lwangasempumalanga ukulinganisa. Licala lasempumalanga ke elo. 19Icala lasezantsi ngasezantsi lothabathela kwaTamare, lise emanzini embambano aseKadeshe, lihambe ngomlambo, lise kulo ulwandle olukhulu. Licala lasezantsi ngasezantsi ke elo. 20Icala lasentshonalanga lulwandle olukhulu, luthabathela emdeni lowo, lude lulunge nokuya eHamati. Licala lasentshonalanga ke elo.
21Nòzabela ke eli lizwe ngokwezizwe zakwaSirayeli. 22Kothi ke nilabe ngamaqashiso, libe lilifa kuni, nakubasemzini, abaphambukela kuni, abazele oonyana phakathi kwenu. Kuni boba njengabazalelwe kuloo ndawo abaphakathi koonyana bakaSirayeli; bolamkela ngamaqashiso ilifa phakathi kwezizwe zakwaSirayeli kunye nani. 23Kuya kuthi, esizweni aphambukele kuso owasemzini, nimnike ilifa lakhe apho; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
