USamsoni wathi: Mangife namaFilisti. Wakhothama ngamandla akhe onke, indlu yawela phezu kwamakhosi naphezu kwabo bonke abantu ababe kuyo . Abafileyo ababulalayo ekufeni kwakhe babebaningi kunabo ababulalayo ekuhambeni kwakhe.

Uyambona umuntu ehlakaniphile emsebenzini wakhe na? Uyakuma phambi kwamakhosi, akayikuma phambi kwabantukazana nje.

Emva komnyaka ngesikhathi sokuhlasela kwamakhosi uDavide wamthuma uJowabe nezinceku zakhe zinaye kanye no -Israyeli wonke , babachitha abantwana bakwa-Amoni, bavimbezela iRaba ; kepha uDavide wahlala eJerusalema.

Ngikunika futhi nalokho ongakucelanga , imfuyo nodumo , ngangokuba kungayikubakho onjengawe phakathi kwamakhosi zonke izinsuku zakho.

Emva komnyaka ngesikhathi sokuhlasela kwamakhosi , uJowabe wahola amaqhawe empi , wachitha izwe labantwana bakwa -Amoni, weza wavimbezela iRaba ; kepha uDavide wahlala eJerusalema . UJowabe walinqoba iRaba, walidiliza.

Bammbela emzini kaDavide phakathi kwamakhosi , ngokuba wayenze okuhle kwa-Israyeli, nakuNkulunkulu, nasendlini yakhe.

Ngiyakukhuluma ngobufakazi bakho phambi kwamakhosi, ngingajabhi.

Inhliziyo yakho yakhukhumala ngobuhle bakho, wonakalisa ukuhlakanipha kwakho ngokukhazimula kwakho ; ngikulahlele phansi , ngikubeke phambi kwamakhosi ukuba akubone.

Ngokuba nami ngingumuntu ophansi kwamakhosi , nginamabutho phansi kwami; ngithi kwelinye: Hamba, lihambe; ngithi kwelinye : Woza, lize; nasencekwini yami: Yenza lokhu, ikwenze.

Ngokuba nami ngingumuntu ophansi kwamakhosi , nginamabutho phansi kwami; ngithi kwelinye: Hamba, lihambe; nakwelinye: Woza, lize; nasencekwini yami: Yenza lokhu, ikwenze.

Kepha ngaphambi kwakho konke lokho bayakunibamba, banizingele, banikhaphele emasinagogeni nasematilongweni , baniyise phambi kwamakhosi nababusi ngenxa yegama lami.

Owesifazane owambonayo ungumuzi omkhulu onombuso phezu kwamakhosi omhlaba.
