UNkulunkulu wathi: Umhlaba mawuveze utshani, nemifino ethela imbewu, nemithi yezithelo ethela izithelo ngezinhlobo zayo , ekuyo imbewu yayo , emhlabeni, kwaba njalo.

Umhlaba wawusuveza utshani nemifino ethela imbewu ngezinhlobo zayo , nemithi ethela izithelo ngezinhlobo z ayo, ekuyo imbewu yayo; uNkulunkulu wabona ukuthi kuhle.

UNkulunkulu wathi : Bhekani, ngiyaninika yonke imifino ethela imbewu , esemhlabeni wonke, nemithi yonke okukuyo izithelo zomuthi oveza imbewu, kube ngukudla kwenu.

Siyakufelani phambi kwakho thina namazwe ethu na ? Sithenge thina namazwe ethu ngokudla, sibe yizinceku zikaFaro thina namazwe ethu ; siphe imbewu ukuba siphile, singafi, izwe lingachitheki.

UJosefa wayesethi kubantu : Bhekani, namuhla nginithengile nibe ngabakaFaro nina nezwe lenu ; nansi imbewu yenu , nize nihlwanyele emhlabathini.

nami ngiyakwenza lokhu kini ; ngiyakunehlisela ingebhe nesifuba nomkhuhlane oyakuqeda amehlo , udangalise umphefumulo ; niyakuhlwanyela ngeze imbewu yenu, ngokuba izitha zenu ziyakuyidla.

Amanzi ayakugobhoza , aphume ezimbizeni zakhe , imbewu yakhe ibe semanzini amaningi , inkosi yakhe ibe nkulu kuno -Agagi, umbuso wakhe uphakame.

Ngokuba izwe ongena kulo ukulidla alinjengezwe laseGibithe enaphuma kulo, lapho wahlwanyela khona imbewu yakho, wayinisela ngonyawo lwakho njengesivande semifino,

Awuyikutshala is ivini sakho ngezinhlobo ezimbili zembewu , funa zonke izithelo zibe ngezendlu engcwele, imbewu owayitshalayo nezithelo zesivini.

U-Athaliya unina ka-Ahaziya esebonile ukuthi indodana yakhe ifile, wasuka wachitha yonke imbewu yenkosi.

Kepha u-Athaliya, unina ka-Ahaziya, esebonile ukuthi indodana yakhe ifile wasuka wachitha yonke imbewu yobukhosi yendlu kaJuda.

Imbewu iyabola phansi kwamagade ayo ; izingobo zichithakele , izinqolobane zidiliziwe, ngokuba amabele omile.

Ungakholwa yiyo ukuba ibuyise imbewu yakho , iyibuthele esibuyeni sakho, na?

Ohamba ekhala izinyembezi , ephethe imbewu yokuhlwanyela, uyakubuya ngokuthokoza, ephethe izinyanda zakhe.

Emanzini amaningi imbewu yaseSihor i nokuvuna kweNayile kwakuyinzuzo yalo; laliyindawo yokuthenga kuzo izizwe.

Uyakunika imbewu yakho oyakuyihlwanyela emhlabathini imvula , aveze nesinkwa ezithelweni zomhlabathi oyakuvunda, uthele kakhulu; ngalolo suku izinkomo zakho ziyakuklaba emadlelweni abanzi.

Mina ngakutshala ungumvini omuhle , imbewu elungileyo yodwa ; pho, uphenduke kanjani waba yigatsha elonakeleyo kimi , elomvini wabezizwe , na?

futhi ningakhi indlu , ningahlwanyeli imbewu , ningatshali isivini , ningabi naso, ngokuba niyakuhlala emat endeni zonke izinsuku zenu ukuba nihlale izinsuku eziningi lapho nigogobele khona.

Bhekani, izinsuku ziyeza, usho uJehova, lapho olimayo eyakufica ovunayo, nonyathela izithelo zomvini ohlwanyela imbewu ; izintaba ziyakuconsa iwayini, amagquma onke ancibilike.

Imbewu isesibuyeni na ? Qha, imivini, nemikhiwane, namapomegranati, neminqumo akuthelanga; kepha kusukela kulolu suku ngiyakukubusisa.

Ngokuba kuyakuba khona imbewu yokuthula ; umvini uyakuthela izithelo zawo, umhlabathi uveze ukudla kwawo, amazulu anike amazolo awo, ngenze ukuba insali yalaba bantu idle ifa lazo zonke lezi zinto.

Ekuhlwanyeleni kwakhe enye imbewu yawela ngasendleleni ; kwafika izinyoni, zayidla zayiqeda.

Omunye umfanekiso wawubeka kubo , wathi: Umbuso wezulu ufaniswa nomuntu owahlwanyela imbewu enhle ensimini yakhe;

Kwase kufika izisebenzi zomnumzane, zathi kuye: Nkosi, awuhlwanyelanga imbewu enhle ensimini yakho na? Pho, ilutholephi ukhula na?

Wayesephendula, ethi kubo : Ohlwanyela imbewu enhle yiNdodana yomuntu;

insimu yizwe ; imbewu enhle yibo abangabantwana bombuso ; kodwa ukhula ngabantwana bomubi;

Kwathi ekuhlwanyeleni kwakhe enye imbewu yawela ngasendleleni; kwafika izinyoni, zayidla zayiqeda.

Wayesethi: Unjalo umbuso kaNkulunkulu ; unjengokuba umuntu ephonsa imbewu emhlabathini,

Kwaphuma umhlwanyeli ukuyohlwanyela imbewu yakhe . Ekuhlwanyeleni kwakhe enye yawela ngasendleleni ; yanyathelwa, izinyoni zezulu zayidla , zayiqeda.

Umfanekiso yilokhu-ke: imbewu iyizwi likaNkulunkulu.

Kepha yena onika ohlwanyelayo inhlwanyelo nesinkwa sokudliwa uyakulungisela evise imbewu yenu, andise izithelo zokulunga kwenu,

Lowo ozelwe nguNkulunkulu akenzi isono , ngokuba imbewu yakhe ihlala kuye; futhi akanakona, ngokuba uzelwe nguNkulunkulu.
