Kodwa ensukwini ezizayo uzayipha udumo iGalile yabezizweni, eNdleleni eya oLwandle elandela iJodani: 2 Abantu abahamba emnyamenisebebone ukukhanya okukhulu;kulabo abahlala elizweni lethunzi lokufaukukhanya sekukhanyisile. 3 Usikhulisile isizwewandisa intokozo yabo,bayathokoza phambi kwakhonjengabantu bethokoza ekuvuneni,njengempi ithokozaisaba impango. 4 Ngoba njengamhla wokwehlulwa kukaMidiyaniusulephule ijogwe elibasindayo,umgoqo onqume emahlombe abo,intonga yomncindezeli wabo. 5 Lonke inyathela lebutho elisetshenziswe empini,kanye lazozonke izigqoko ezigiqwe egazinikuzakuya ekutshisweni;kuzakuba ngokokubasisa umlilo. 6 Ngoba sizalelwe umntwana,siphiwe indodana,umbuso uzakuba phezu kwamahlombe akhe.Uzabizwa ngokuthiuMeluleki Omangalisayo, uNkulunkulu uSomandla,uBaba Waphakade, iNkosana yokuThula. 7 Ukwanda kombuso wakhe lokuthulaakuyikuba lomkhawulo.Uzabusa esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavidalaphezu kombuso wakhe,ewumisa njalo ewuqinisangokufaneleyo langokulunga,kusukela ngalesisikhathi kuze kube nini lanini.Ukutshiseka KUKATHIXO uSomandlakuzakufeza lokhu. 8 INkosi isithumele ilizwi lesixwayiso kuJakhobelizakwehlela phezu kuka-Israyeli. 9 Abantu bonke bazakwaziu-Efrayimi labakhele eSamariya,abathi ngokuzigqajalangokuzikhukhumeza kwenhliziyo, 10 “Izitina sezidilikele phansi,kodwa sizakwakha njalo ngamatshe abaziweyo;imikhiwa isiganyulelwe phansi,kodwa sizafaka imisedari endaweni yayo.” 11 Kodwa UTHIXO usebaqinisele izitha zikaRezini,njalo usetshotshozele izitha zabo. 12 Ama-Aramu avela empumalanga lamaFilistiya avela entshonalangaasedle u-Israyeli ngomlomo ovulekileyo.

Kukho konke lokhu, ukuthukuthela kwakhe akupheli,isandla sakhe silokhu siphakanyisiwe.
