Inceku yayisithatha amakamela ayishumi emakameleni enkosi yayo , yahamba, izinto zonke ezinhle zenkosi yayo zisesandleni sayo ; yasuka, yaya eMesopotamiya emzini kaNahori.

Yayisithatha inkosi, yathi: Mnikeni lowo umntwana ophilayo, ningamdabuli nakanye; nguye ongunina.

Inkosi yayisithatha yathi kulowo muntu kaNkulunkulu : Ake unxuse phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, ungikhulekele ukuba isandla sami siphiliswe. Lowo muntu kaNkulunkulu wanxusa kuJehova, saphiliswa isandla sakhe, saba njengakuqala.

Yayisithatha izibulo layo ebeliyakubusa esikhundleni sayo , yanikela ngalo libe ngumnikelo wokushiswa phezu kogange . Abakwa-Israyeli behlelwa yintukuthelo enkulu, basuka kuyo, babuyela ezweni lakubo.

Yayisithatha isho kimi , ithi: Lokhu kuyizwi likaJehova kaZerubabele lokuthi: Kungabi ngempi , kungabi ngamandla , kepha kube ngomoya wami kuphela, usho uJehova Sebawoti.

Yayisithatha owenzalo yobukhosi, yenza isivumelwano naye , yamngenisa phansi kwesifungo, yasusa abakhulu bezwe,

Yayisithatha ingelosi kaJehova , yathi: Jehova Sebawoti , koze kube nini ungabi nasihe kulo iJerusalema nakuyo imizi yakwaJuda oyithu kuthelele le minyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa na?

yona yayisithatha masinyane amabutho nezinduna zekhulu, yagijimela kubo; sebebona induna yenkulungwane namabutho bayeka ukumshaya uPawulu.
