11  “Vula iminyangwakho wena Libhanoni,Bona umlilo utjhise imisedarakho.   Rhahlawula wena mjunipha ngombana umuthi womsedari uwile;Imithi emikhulu nemihle itjhatjalalisiwe! Rhahlawulani nina mithi ye-owuku yeBhatjhani,Ngombana ihlathi eliminyeneko litjhatjalalisiwe!   Lalela ukurhahlawula kwabelusi,Ngombana iphazimulwabo itjhatjalalisiwe. Lalela amabhubezi amancani abhodlako,Ngombana ihlathi eliminyeneko leJordani litjhatjalalisiwe.  “Nakhu uJehova uZimami akutjhoko, ‘Yelusa abantwaba abanjengomhlambi oyokuhlatjwa,+  nabathenga umhlambi lo bayawuhlaba+ begodu bangabi nomlandu. Laba abawuthengisako+ bathi, “Kwanga uJehova angadunyiswa ngombana ngizokunjinga.” Abelusi bomhlambi lo abawurhawukeli.’+  “‘UJehova uthi angeze ngisabarhawukela abantu benarheni. Ngizokwenza bona omunye nomunye agandelelwe mnganakhe begodu agandelelwe yikosakhe; bazoyitjhabalalisa inarha le begodu angekhe ngibasindise ezandleni zabo.’”  Ngathoma ukwalusa abantu ebebanjengomhlambi oyokuhlatjwa,+ ngenzela nina enibogabogako emhlambini. Nje-ke ngathatha iintonga ezimbili, enye ngayibiza ngokuthi muMusa enye ngathi liBumbano,+ ngemva kwalokho-ke ngalusa umhlambi.  Ngaqotha abelusi abathathu ngenyanga yinye, ngabaphelela ihliziyo begodu nabo bebanginyenya.  Ngathi: “Angekhe ngisanilusa. Ofako akafe, otjhabalalako akatjhabalale. Abaseleko abadlane bodwa.” 10  Nje-ke ngathatha intongami engiyibiza ngoMusa+ ngayiqunta, ngaphula isivumelwano sami engasenza nabo boke abantu. 11  Ngasiphula mhlokho-ke begodu ababogabogako emhlanjini ebebangibukele babona ukuthi leli bekulilizwi lakaJehova. 12  Ngathi kibo: “Nangabe kuhle kini, ngibhadelani umrholwami kodwana nangabe akusinjalo, uthatheni.” Nje-ke bangibhadela iimpaparwana zesiliva ezima-30.+ 13  UJehova wathi kimi: “Thatha imali leyo uyiphosele ngesilulwini, okuyimali encani abayibone ingifanele.”+ Nje-ke ngathatha iimpaparwana zesilivezo ezima-30 ngaziphosela esilulwini endlini kaJehova.+ 14  Ngaqunta intongami yesibili engiyibiza ngokuthi liBumbano,+ ngokunjalo-ke ngaqeda ubuhlobo obuphakathi kwakaJuda no-Israyeli.+ 15  UJehova wathi kimi: “Thatha izinto ezisetjenziswa ngumalusi ongasililitho.+ 16  Ngivumela bona kuvuke umalusi enarheni. Angekhe atlhogomele imvu etjhabalalako;+ angekhe ayifune imvu encani, angekhe ayilaphe elimeleko+ namkha adlise ekghona ukuzijamela. Kunalokho uzokutjhabalalisa inyama enonileko+ bese arathule iinqatha zemvu.+ 17  Maye! Ngomelusami ongasililitho+ otjhiya umhlambi.+ Isabula izomumadlha umkhono nelihlo lakhe langesidleni. Umkhonwakhe uzokutjhwaba,Nelihlo lakhe langesidleni angeze lisabona.”
