| 1. | Kodwa umnyama kawuyikuba njengoba wawunjalo enkathazweni yalo; njengesikhathini samandulo wakwenza kwaba lula elizweni lakoZebuluni lelizweni lakoNafithali; kodwa emva kwalokhu wakwenza kwaba nzima nge ndlela yolwandle, phetsheya kweJordani, e Galili lezizwe. |
| 2. | Abantu ababehamba emnyameni babonile ukukhanya okukhulu; ababehlala elizweni lethunzi lokufa, ukukhanya kubakhanyisele. |
| 3. | Wandisile isizwe, wakhulisa intokozo yaso; bayathokoza phambi kwakho njengentokozo ekuvuneni, njengoba bethokoza ekwehlukaniselaneni kwabo impango. |
| 4. | Ngoba wephulile ijogwe lomthwalo laso, loswazi lehlombe laso, intonga yomcindezeli waso, njengasosukwini lukaMidiyani. |
| 5. | Lapho lonke inyathela elinyathelwa ngokuzamazama, lesigqoko esigiqwe engazi kwakungokokutshiswa, okubasisa umlilo. |
| 6. | Ngoba sizalelwe umntwana, sinikwe indodana; lombuso uzakuba sehlombe layo, lebizo lakhe lizathiwa: OMangalisayo, uMeluleki, uNkulunkulu olamandla, uBaba wephakade, iNkosana yokuthula. |
| 7. | Ukwanda kombuso lokuthula kakuyikuphela, phezu kwesihlalo sobukhosi sikaDavida laphezu kombuso wakhe, ukuwumisa, lokuwuqinisa ngesahlulelo langokulunga, kusukela khathesi kuze kube nininini. Ukutshiseka kwe Nkosi yamabandla kuzakwenza lokhu. |
| 8. | INkosi ithumele ilizwi koJakobe, lawela koIsrayeli. |
| 9. | Labo bonke abantu bazakwazi, uEfrayimi labahlali beSamariya, ngokuzigqaja langokuzikhukhumeza kwenhliziyo, besithi: |
| 10. | Izitina ziwile, kodwa sizakwakha ng amatshe abaziweyo; imikhiwa yesikhamore iganyuliwe, kodwa sizayiguqula abe yimisedari. |
| 11. | Ngakho i Nkosi izaphakamisa abacindezeli bakaRezini phezu kwakhe, ihlanganise izitha zakhe ndawonye; |
| 12. | amaSiriya ngaphambili lamaFilisti ngemuva, azakudla uIsrayeli ngomlomo wonke. Kukho konke lokhu intukuthelo yayo kayiphenduki, kodwa isandla sayo siseluliwe. |
| 13. | Ngoba abantu kabaphendukeli kulowo owabatshayayo, futhi kabayidingi i Nkosi yamabandla. |
| 14. | Ngakho i Nkosi izaquma kusuke koIsrayeli inhloko lomsila, ugatsha lomhlanga, ngasuku lunye. |
| 15. | Omdala lowemukelwa ngobuso, uyinhloko, kodwa umprofethi ofundisa amanga, ungumsila. |
| 16. | Ngoba abakhokheli balababantu bayaduhisa, labakhokhelwa yibo bayaginywa. |
| 17. | Ngenxa yalokho iNkosi kayiyikuthokoza ngamajaha abo, kayiyikuba lasihawu ngezintandane zabo labafelokazi babo; ngoba bonke bangabazenzisi labenzi bobubi, lomlomo wonke ukhuluma ubuthutha. Kukho konke lokhu intukuthelo yayo kayiphenduki, kodwa isandla sayo siseluliwe. |
| 18. | Ngoba inkohlakalo itshisa njengomlilo, izakudla ameva lokhula oluhlabayo, ithungele izixuku zehlathi, ziziphakamise njengokuphakama kwentuthu. |
| 19. | Ngolaka lwe Nkosi yamabandla ilizwe litshisiwe, labantu bazakuba njengokudla komlilo; umuntu kayikuyekela umfowabo. |
| 20. | Njalo uzahluthuna ngakwesokunene, kodwa alambe; adle ngakwesokhohlo, kodwa angasuthi; ngulowo lalowo adle inyama yengalo yakhe. |
| 21. | UManase uEfrayimi, loEfrayimi uManase; bazamelana loJuda kanyekanye. Kukho konke lokhu intukuthelo yayo kayiphenduki, kodwa isandla sayo siseluliwe. |
