E-Edene kwavela umfula owamanzisa insimu ; wahlukana khona , waba yizimbaxa ezine.

Ngalolo suku uJehova wasenza isivumelwano no -Abrama, wathi: Ngiyakunika inzalo yakho leli zwe, kusukela emfuleni waseGibithe kuze kube semfuleni omkhulu, umfula u-Ewufrathe:

Wayesebaleka nakho kon ke anakho ; wasuka, wawela umfula , waqonda ngasentabeni yakwaGileyadi.

Izinhlanzi ezisemfuleni ziyakufa , umfula unuke ; abaseGibithe bayakunengwa ngukuphuza amanzi emfuleni.

Izinhlanzi zasemfuleni zafa ; umfula wanuka ; abaseGibithe babengenakuphuza amanzi asemfuleni; igazi lalikhona ezweni lonke laseGibithe.

Zaphelela izinsuku eziyisikhombisa, selokhu uJehova eshayile umfula.

umfula uyakuvama amasele ; ayakukhuphuka, angene endlini yakho , nasekamelweni lakho lokulala , naphezu kombhede wakho , nasendlini yezinceku zakho , naphezu kwabantu bakho , nasemaziko akho , nasezingqwembeni zakho zokuxova izinkwa.

UJehova wathi kuMose: Dlulela phambi kwabantu, uthathe amalunga akwa- Israyeli; nenduku yakho owashaya ngayo umfula , yiphathe ngesandla sakho, uhambe.

phendukani nihambe , niye entabeni yama -Amori nasezindaweni zonke eziseduze nakhona e -Araba, ezintabeni, nangenzansi, naseningizimu, nangasogwini lolwandle , ezweni lamaKhanani , naseLebanoni, kuze kube semfuleni omkhulu, umfula u-Ewufrathe.

Sukani kalokhu, niwele umfula iZeredi. Sase siwela-ke umfula iZeredi.

Izinsuku esahamba ngazo sisuka eKadeshi Barineya saze sawela umfula iZeredi zaziyiminyaka engamashumi amathathu nesishiyagalombili , kwaze kwaphela isizukulwane samadoda empi phakathi kwekamu , njengalokho uJehova afunga kuwo.

Sukani nihambe , niwele umfula i -Arinoni; bhekani, nginikele esandleni sakho uSihoni umAmori , inkosi yaseHeshiboni, nezwe lakhe: qala ukulidla, ulwe naye ekulweni.

Yonke indawo lapho amathe onyawo lwakho eyakunyathela khona iyakuba ngeyenu, kusukela e hlane naseLebanoni naseMfuleni , umfula u -Ewufrathe, kuze kube selwandle olungasemuva, lube ngumkhawulo wenu.

Kusukela ehlane nakuleli Lebanoni kuze kufike emfuleni omkhulu , umfula u-Ewufrathe, lonke izwe lamaHeti , nakuze kube seLwandle Olukhulu ngasentshonalanga, kuyakuba ngumkhawulo wenu.

Ngalokho okuseleyo abakutholileyo , nemfuyo yabo , bakuwelisa uMfula Weminyezane.

Bheka, noma kuphuphuma umfula , akethuki; uyaqalaba, noma iJordani ligijigijimela emlonyeni wakhe.

Ukhona umfula omanzi awo athokozisa umuzi kaNkulunkulu, indlu engcwele yoPhezukonke.

Uhambela umhlaba, unisa imvula , uwuvundisa kakhulu ; umfula kaNkulunkulu ugcwele amanzi ; ubalungisela abantu ukudla , ngokuba uwulungisa kanjalo umhlaba.

Ulwandle waluguqula lwaba yizwe elomileyo ; bawela umfula nge zinyawo; lapho sathokoza kuye.

Amanzi ayakuphela elwandle, umfula wome, ushe.

ukhulume uthi : Isho kanje iNk osi uJehova , ithi: Bheka, ngimelene nawe Faro, nkosi yaseGibithe, drako omkhulu, obuthisa phakathi kwemifula yakho uthi: Umfula ungowami, mina ngiwenzile.

Izwe laseGibithe liyakuba yincithakalo nehlane , bazi ukuthi nginguJehova, ngokuba wathi: Umfula ungowami, mina ngiwenzile.

Kuyakuthi konke okuphilayo okuswebezelayo kuphile ezindaweni zonke lapho ifika khona leyo mifula emibili , kube yizinhlanz i eziningi kakhulu , ngokuba esefike khona lawa manzi , awolwandle ayakuphiliswa , kuphile konke, lapho umfula ufika khona.

Wangiphonsa ekujuleni, enhliziyweni yolwandle, umfula wangihaqa; onke amadlambi akho namaza akho adlula phezu kwami.

Ufana nomuntu owayakha indlu , wemba washonisa , wabeka isisekelo edwaleni. Ekufikeni kwesikhukhula umfula washaya leyo ndlu , kepha wawungenamandla okuyinyakazisa, ngokuba yayakhiwe kahle.

Kodwa ozwayo engenzi unjengom untu owakha indlu emhlabathini ingenasisekelo; umfula wayishaya , yawa masinyane ; kwaba kukhulu ukudilika kwaleyo ndlu.

Nenyoka yakhwifa, kwaphuma emlonyeni wayo emva kowesifazane amanzi kungathi umfula ukuba immukise nomfula.

Umhlaba wamsiza owesifazane , umhlaba wakhamisa umlomo waw o, wawuminza umfula owawukhwifa udrako ngomlomo wakhe.

Wayesengikhombisa umfula wamanzi okuphila ucwebezela njengekristalu , uvela esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu neseWundlu.
