UJakobe waso ndela ku -Isaka uyise ; wamphatha, wathi: Izwi liyizwi likaJakobe, kepha izandla ziyizandla zika-Esawu.

Isizwe sakwaLevi kuphela awuyikusibala , ungabali umumo waso phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli,

isithole sishiswe phambi kwakhe , isikhumba saso , nenyama yaso , negazi laso, kanye nomswani waso kushiswe;

Umyeni waso wasuka, wasilandela ukuba akhulume kuyo inhliziyo yaso , asibuyise, enenceku yakhe nezimbongolo ezimbili; samngenisa endlini kayise; lapho uyise wentombi embona, wathokoza ukuhlangana naye.

Ukuhlakanipha kuphakeme kunesiwula; esangweni asivuli umlomo waso.

Inceku yakho iphakathi kwabantu bakho obakhethileyo , isizwe esikhulu , esingenakubalwa, esingenakuthathwa umumo waso ngobuningi.

Umlomo waso wawuphakathi kwesihloko ; ukuphakama kwawo kwakuyingalo; umlomo wawo wawuyisiyingelezi njengokwenziwa kwesinqe , uyingalo nenxenye; nasemlonyeni kwakukhona okubaziwe yo; izindini zawo zaziyizinhlangothi ezine, zingesiso isiyingelezi.

Isiwula siyasonga izandla zaso, sidle umzimba waso.

Ukuqala kwamazwi omlomo waso angubuwula , nokugcina kokukhuluma kwaso kungubuhlanya obubi.

Sibusisiwe isizwe esiNkulunkulu waso nguJehova, isizwe asikhethileyo sibe yifa lakhe.

Mina kodwa nginjengesithulu , angizwa; nginjengesimungulu esingavuli umlomo waso.

Bangabi njengawoyise , isizukulwane esiphambeneyo nesihlubukayo , isizukulwane esingaqinisanga inhliziyo yaso , nesimoya waso wawungathembekile kuNkulunkulu.

Imfuyo yesicebi ingumuzi waso onamandla; incithakalo yabampofu ingubumpofu babo.

Iphango lesisebenzi liyasisebenzela, ngokuba umlomo waso uyasiqhuba.

Izindebe zesiwula ziletha ukuxabana, nomlomo waso ubiza imivimbo.

Umlomo wesiwula ungukubhujiswa kwaso , nezindebe zaso zilugibe lomphefumulo waso.

Imfuyo yesicebi ingumuzi waso onamandla ; injengogange oluphakemeyo emicabangweni yaso.

Mina Jehova ngingumlind i waso , ngiyakusinisela njalo ; funa soniwe , ngiyakusilinda ubusuku nemini.

Nokho bangifuna izinsuku zonke , bathanda ukwazi izindlela zami ; njengesizwe esenza ukulunga, singashiyi ukwahlulela kukaNkulunkulu waso, babuza kimi izahlulelo zokulunga, bathanda ukusondela kuNkulunkulu.

Uyakuthi kubo: Yilesi sizwe esingalilalelanga izwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu waso, singamukelanga ukulaywa ; iqiniso libhubhile , linqunyiwe emlonyeni waso.

Kwathi lapho sezizwile onke amazwi , zaphendukelana ngokwesaba, kwaba yileso naleso kumakhelwane waso , zathi kuBaruki : Siyakuyitshela nokuyitshela inkosi lawa mazwi.

Isikhulu siyakungen a ngendlela yompheme wesango ngaphandle , sime ngasensikeni yesango , abapristi balungise umnikelo waso wokushiswa neminikelo yaso yokuthula , sikhuleke ngasembundwini wesango ; bese siphuma, kepha isango aliyikuvalwa kuze kube kusihlwa.

Lapho isikh ulu siyakulungisa umnikelo wesihle , umnikelo wokushiswa neminikelo yokuthula ibe ngumnikelo wesihle kuJehova , siyakuvulelwa isango elibheke ngasempumalanga , silungise umnikelo waso wokushiswa neminikelo yaso yokuthula njengokwenza kwaso ngosuku lwesabatha , bese siphuma; nalapho sesiphumile, isango liyakuvalwa.

Bheka, esinye isilo, esesibili, sinjengebhere, samiswa ngolunye uhlangothi , izimbambo ezintathu zisemlonyeni waso phakathi kwamazinyo aso ; kwathiwa kuso: Vuka, udle inyama eningi.

Ngabheka ngaleso sikhathi ngenxa yenhlokomo yamazwi amakhulu akhulunywa luphondo; ngabheka saze sahlatshwa isilo , wachithwa umzimba waso, sanikelwa ukuba sishiswe ngomlilo.

Bese sikhukhula njengomoya, sidlule, sizitholele icala, sona esimandla aso angunkulunkulu waso.

Sisizani isithombe esibaziweyo, lokhu umbumbi waso esibaza , nesithombe esibunjiweyo nomfundisi wamanga , lokhu umbumbi waso ethemba kuso , ukuze enze izithombe eziyizimungulu, na?

Uma isiqhwaga sihlomile , silinda umuzi waso , impahla yaso ihlezi ngokuthula.

Isilo engasibonayo sasifana nengwe , nezinyawo zaso zazinjengezebhere , nomlomo waso wawunjengomlomo wengonyama . Udrako wasinika amandla akhe, nesihlalo sakhe sobukhosi, nokubusa okukhulu.

Savula umlomo waso ukuhlambalaza uNkulunkulu , ukuhlambalaza igama lakhe netabernakele lakhe, nabo abahlezi ezulwini.

Yalandela enye ingelosi yesithathu , ithi ngezwi elikhulu : Uma kukhona okhuleka kuso isilo nomfanekiso waso , elwamukela futhi uphawu ebunzini lakhe noma esandleni sakhe,

Nomusi wokuhlushwa kwabo uyenyuka kuze kube phakade naphakade ; abasenakuphumula imini nobusuku abakhuleka kuso isilo nomfanekiso waso nalowo owamukela uphawu lwegama laso.

Ngabona kungathi ulwandle lwengilazi luxubene no mlilo, nabavela ekunqobeni isilo nomfanekiso waso nesibalo segama laso bemi ngaselwandle lwengilazi, benamahabhu kaNkulunkulu.

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

Eyesihlanu yathululela isitsha say o esihlalweni sobukhosi sesilo ; nombuso waso wenziwa mnyama, baluma izilimi zabo ngenxa yobuhlungu,

Bathi ngokwesibili : Haleluya! Nomusi waso wenyuka kuze kube phakade naphakade.

Isilo sase sibanjwa nomprofethi wamanga okanye naso owenza izibonakaliso phamb i kwaso , abadukisa ngazo abamukela uphawu lwesilo nabakhuleka kumfanekiso waso ; labo bobabili baphonswa besezwa echibini lomlilo elivutha isibabule.

Ngase ngibona izihla lo zobukhosi ; bahlala kuzo , banikwa ukwahlulela ; ngabona nemiphefumulo yababenqunywe amakhanda ngenxa yokufakaza ngoJesu nangenxa yezwi likaNkulunkulu , nalabo abangakhulekanga kuso isilo nomfanekiso waso , nabangamukelanga uphawu lwesilo ebunzini labo nasesandleni sabo ; baphila, babusa kanye noKristu iminyaka eyinkulungwane.
