Waphupha, bheka, nanko umkhwelo umiswe emhlabathini , isihloko sawo sifinyelela ezulwini; nezingelosi zikaNkulunkulu zenyuka, zehla kuwo.

Ingelosi kaJehova yase yelula isihloko sentonga esesan dleni sayo, yathinta inyama namaqebelengwane angenamvubelo ; kwenyuka umlilo edwaleni , wadla waqeda inyama namaqebelengwane angenamvubelo ; ingelosi kaJehova yayisimuka emehlweni akhe.

Kepha uJonathani akezwanga lapho uyise efungisa abantu; ngalokho welula isihloko senduku esesandleni sakhe , wasicwilisa ezinyosini, wabeka isandla emlonyeni; ayeseqabuka amehlo akhe.

Uthi lomkhonto wakhe lwalunjengogongolo lomaluki ; isihloko somkhonto sasingamashekeli angamakhulu ayisithupha ensimbi ; ophethe isihlangu wahamba phambi kwakhe.

Wenza izihloko ezimbili ngethusi elibunjiweyo ukuba zibekwe phezu kwezinsika; ubude besinye isihloko babuyizingalo eziyisihlanu , nobude besinye isihloko babuyizingalo eziyisihlanu.

Kwakukhona ezihlokweni ezaziphezu kwezinsika imihlobiso yamanetha amahele, nezinsephe ezenziwe njengamaketanga , kuyisikhombisa kwesinye isihloko, nesikhombisa kwesinye.

Wenza amapomegranati; kwakuyizinhla ezimbili nxazonke kwelinye inetha ukwembesa izihloko ezaziphezu kwezinsika ; wenze njalo nakwesinye isihloko.

Kwakukhona izihloko nap hezu kwezinsika zombili eduze nesisu esasiseceleni kwenetha; amapomegranati ayengamakhulu amabili , eyizinhla nxazonke phezu kwesinye isihloko.

Isihlalo sobukhosi sasinezikhwelo eziyisithupha , isihloko saso sasiyisiyingelezi emuva ; kwakukhona imikhono ngalapha nangalapha kwendawo yokuhlala, kumi izingonyama ezimbili ngaseceleni kwemikhono.

Ukuphakama kwensika eyodwa kwakuyizingalo eziyishumi nesishiyagalombili; phezu kwayo kwakukhona isihloko sethusi ; ukuphakama kwesihloko esisodwa kwakuyizingalo ezi ntathu; kwakukhona nenetha namapomegranati phezu kwesihloko nxazonke , konke kwakun gokwethusi; kwakunjalo nasensikeni yesibili enetheni.

Wenza ngaphakathi kwendlu izinsika ezimbili , ukuphakama kwazo kwakuyizingalo ezingamashumi amathathu nanhlanu; isihloko esasingaphezu kwaleyo naleyo sasiyizingalo eziyisihlanu.

Kwathi lapho inkosi ibona u -Esteri inkosikazi emi egcekeni , wafumana umusa emehlweni ayo ; inkosi yamelulela u -Esteri intonga yegolide esesandleni sayo. Wayesesondela u-Esteri, wasithinta isihloko sentonga.

Kwakukhona isihloko sethusi ; ukuphakama kwesihloko esiso dwa kwakuyizingalo eziyisihlanu; kwakukhona nenetha namapomegranati phezu kwesihloko nxazonke , konke kwakungokwethusi ; njengangale kwakunjalo nasensikeni yesibili enamapomegranati.

uthi: Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Ukhozi olukhulu olunamaphiko amakhulu noluzimpaphe zalo zinkulu, lugcwele izimpaphe ezinemibala eyahlukeneyo, lweza eLebanoni, lwathatha isihloko somsedari,

Bheka, ungumkhoba, ungumsedari waseLebanoni; unamagatsha amahle , namaqabunga anomthunzi , nesiqu esiphakemeyo ; isihloko sawo siphakathi kwamafu.

Ngalokho isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Ngenxa yokuba uphakeme ngobude, wabeka isihloko sawo phakathi kwamafu , nenhliziyo yakhukhumala ngokuphakama kwawo,

ukuba kungabikho muthi ngasemanzini okhukhumala ngokuphakama kwawo, ungabeki isihloko sawo emafwini , yebo, nenamandla ingemi ngokuziphakamisa, yonke ephuze amanzi ; ngokuba yonke inikelwe ekufeni kokuphansi komhlaba phakathi kwabantwana babantu , kwabehlelayo egodini.

Samemeza sathi : Baba Abrahama , ngihawukele, uthume uLazaru , agcobhoze isihloko somunwe wakhe ema nzini, aphozise ulimi lwami , ngokuba ngiyahlushwa kuleli langabi.
