Eyokuqala inegama lokuthi iPishoni ; yiyo ezungeza izwe lonke laseHavila , lapho kukhona igolide.

Inhliziyo kaFaro yaba lukhuni, kabalalelanga, njengalokho eshilo uJehova. Izinhlupheko zaseGibithe Eyokuqala: amanzi aphenduka igazi

Futhi abasho ezinhliziyweni zabo ukuthi: Ake sesabe uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu onika imvula eyokuqala neyamuva ngesikhathi sayo , asigcinele amasonto anqunyiweyo akuvuna.

Iyakuba namandla amakhulu, ingenamandla eyokuqala kodwa; iyakuchitha ngokumangalisayo, iphumelele ukukwenza ; iyakuchitha abanamandla nabantu abangcwele.

Jabulani, bantwana baseSiyoni , nithokoze kuJehova uNkulunkulu wenu , ngokuba uninika imvula yokuqala ngokulunga , unehlisela imvula, eyokuqala neyamuva, njengasekuqaleni.

Yiyiphi kulawa amabili eyenza intando kayise na ? Bathi kuye: Eyokuqala. UJesu wathi kubo : Ngiqinisile ngithi kini : Abathelisi nezifebe bangena phambi kwenu embusweni kaNkulunkulu.

Yavela-ke eyokuqala, yathi: Nkosi, umina wakho uzuze omina abayishumi.

Eyokuqala yayisibetha; kwase kuba khona isichotho nomlilo kuxutshaniswe negazi, kwaphonswa emhlabeni ; okwesithathu komhlaba kwasha kwaqothuka, nokwesithathu kwemithi kwasha kwaqothuka , nabo bonke utshani obuluhlaza basha baqothuka.

Eyokuqala yaya -ke, yathululela isitsha sayo emhlabeni ; kwase kuvela isilonda esibi esinobuhlungu kubantu abanophawu lwesilo nabakhuleka kumfanekiso waso.
