7. Ngoko ke nguwo lo umlomo kaNdikhoyo: “Niyabona, kuza imihla apho abantu bangayi kubuya bathi xa befunga: ‘Ekho nje uNdikhoyo owakhulula amaSirayeli eJiputa.’
8. Ngaloo mihla baya kuthi: ‘Ekho nje uNdikhoyo owakhulula inzala yamaSirayeli kwilizwe langasentla nakuwo onke amazwe awabachitha-chitha kuwo, ukuze ahlale kwelakowawo ilizwe.’ ”
9. Nalu udaba malunga *nabashumayeli:Intliziyo yam ikhathazekile;amathambo am anengevane.Ngenxa *kaNdikhoyo namazwi akhe angcwelendifana nomntu onxilileyo oyotywe butywala.
10. Lizele ngabantu abakrexezayo ilizwe,libharhile ilizwe ngenxa yesiqalekiso sikaNdikhoyo,amadlelo asentlango axwebile.Bahamba iindlela ezigwenxa;bangamagorha okwenza okungalunganga.
11. “Kwa-abashumayeli nababingeleli abamhloneli uThixo;nasendlwini yam ndibhaqa amanyundululu.”Lowo ngumlomo kaNdikhoyo.
12. “Ngoko loo ndlela yabo iza kuba mtyibilizi,balahleke bawe emnyameni.Ndiza kubahlisela ishwangushangethuba lokohlwaywa kwabo.”Lowo ngumlomo kaNdikhoyo.
13. “Kubashumayeli baseSamariya ndibone into emanyumnyezi:ndibone beshumayela ngoBhali,belahlekisa abantu bam amaSirayeli.
14. Kubashumayeli baseJerusalem ndibone eligqithileyo isikizi;bona ngabakrexezi abaphila ngokuxoka.Bakhuthaza abantu ekwenzeni ububi,kungabikho namnye uguqukayo kwinkohlakalo yakhe.Xa bebonke kum bafana nabantu baseSodom;abemi balapho bafana nabaseGomora.”
15. Ke naku akuthethayo uSomandla-onke uNdikhoyongokusingisele kubashumayeli baseJerusalem:“Ndiza kubanika ukutya okukrakrayo,ndibaseze amanzi anetyhefu,kuba abashumayeli baseJerusalem basasaze ukudela uThixo kulo lonke ilizwe.”
16. Utsho uNdikhoyo uSomandla-onke ukuthi:“Ze ningayiphulaphuli into ethethwa kuni ngaba bashumayeli;banithembisa ilize.Banixelela ngemibono yeentliziyo zabo,benganazisi okuphuma emlonyeni kaNdikhoyo.
17. Kwabalidelayo ilizwi lam basoloko besithi: ‘Makube luxolo kuni.’Kwabo baqaqadekileyo bathi: ‘Anisoze nihlelwe bububi.’ ”
18. Ngubani na kubo olilungu legqugula likaNdikhoyo?Ingubani oluvayo noluqondayo udaba lwakhe?Ngaba ukho owakha waluphulaphula waluthathela ingqalelo?
