Dlulisela

Ningahlubuki uJehova, ningabesabi abantu bezwe; ngoba bayisinkwa sethu; ukuzivikela kwabo kususiwe kubo, futhi iNkosi inathi; ningabesabi.

UJehova uyabekezela, unomusa omkhulu, othethelela ububi neziphambeko, angahlambululi onecala nangayiphi indlela, ahambele ububi bawoyise kubantwana kuze kube isizukulwane sesithathu nesesine.

Uma uJehova ethokoza ngathi, uyakusingenisa kuleli zwe, asinike lona; izwe elichichima ubisi nezinyosi.

Kepha inceku yami uKalebi, lokhu wayenomunye umoya, wangilandela nokungilandela, ngiyakumyisa ezweni aya kulo; nenzalo yakhe iyakulidla.

Tshono kibo uthi: Kuphila kwami, itsho iN kosi, njengokukhuluma kwenu ezindlebeni zami, ngizakwenza njalo kini.

INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Koze kube nini lababantu bengidlala? Koze kube nini bengangikholwa ngenxa yazo zonke izibonakaliso engizenzile phakathi kwabo na?

Bonke abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bakhonona ngoMose nango-Aroni, inhlangano yonke yathi kubo: “Sengathi nga safa ezweni laseGibhithe! noma ngabe uNkulunkulu usifele ogwadule!

UJoshuwa indodana kaNuni noKalebi indodana kaJefune ababephakathi kwabahlola izwe, baklebhula izingubo zabo. Basebekhuluma kulo lonke ixuku labantwana bakoIsrayeli besithi: Ilizwe esadabula kulo ukulihlola lilizwe elihle kakhulu.

Kodwa kuphila kwami, umhlaba wonke uzagcwala inkazimulo yeNkosi. Ngokuba bonke labo bantu ababona inkazimulo yami nezimangaliso zami engazenza eGibithe nasehlane, manje sebengilingile izikhathi eziyishumi, abalalelanga izwi lami; Ngempela, ngeke balibone izwe engalifungela okhokho babo, futhi akekho noyedwa walabo abangiklolodelayo oyolibona.
