11 Ethi: “Ngizokunika izwe laseKhanani +
Libe yifa lakho.” +
12 Lokhu kwenzeka lapho besembalwa, +
Yebo, bembalwa kakhulu, futhi beyizifiki ezweni. +
13 Babehamba besuka kwesinye isizwe beya kwesinye,
Besuka komunye umbuso beya komunye umbuso. +
14 Akavumelanga muntu ukuba abacindezele, +
Kodwa wasola amakhosi + ngenxa yabo,
15 Ethi: “Ningabathinti abagcotshiwe bami,
Ningenzi lutho olubi kubaprofethi bami.” +
16 Waletha indlala ezweni; +
Wenza ukuba bangabe besakuthola ukudla.
17 Wathumela umuntu ngaphambi kwabo
Owayethengisiwe ukuba abe yisigqila, uJosefa. +

Nokuba afundise amadoda amadala ukuhlakanipha. +
23 Khona-ke u-Israyeli weza eGibhithe, +
UJakobe wahlala ezweni likaHamu njengesifiki.

Wasenza saba namandla kunezitha zaso, +

Ukuba zakhele izinceku zakhe uzungu. +

Nezinsensane kuzo zonke izindawo zabo. +

Waphula izihlahla zendawo yabo.
34 Wathi makufike izintethe zibahlasele,
Izintethe ezingenakubalwa. +
35 Zadla zonke izimila ezweni,
Zadla nezithelo zomhlabathi.
36 Ngemva kwalokho wabulala wonke amazibulo ezweni labo, +
Ukuqala kwamandla abo okuzala.
37 Wakhipha abantu bakhe benesiliva negolide; +
Akekho noyedwa phakathi kwezizwe zakhe owakhubeka.
38 IGibhithe lajabula lapho behamba,
Ngoba lase limesaba u-Israyeli. +
39 Welula ifu ukuze abasithe +
Nomlilo wokubakhanyisela ebusuku. +
40 Bacela inyama, waletha izagwaca; +
Waqhubeka ebasuthisa ngesinkwa esivela ezulwini. +
41 Waqhekeza idwala, kwagobhoza amanzi; +
Ageleza njengomfula adabula ugwadule. +
42 Ngoba wasikhumbula isithembiso esingcwele ayesenze ku-Abrahama inceku yakhe. +
43 Ngakho wasikhipha isizwe sakhe ngokwethaba, +
Abakhethiwe bakhe ngokukhamuluka kwenjabulo.

Badla izithukuthuku zezinye izizwe, +
45 Ukuze bagcine imiyalo yakhe +
Bagcine imithetho yakhe.
Dumisani uJah!
