Ngokuba amaLevi ashiya amadlelo awo nefa lawo , aya kwaJuda naseJerusalema, ngokuba uJerobowamu namadodana akhe bawalahla ukuba angabe esaba ngabapristi bakaJehova,

Ngokuba bengakafiki abanye ababevela kuJakobe , wayedla nabezizwe ; kepha kuthe ukuba kufike bona , wamonyuka, wazahlukanisa nabo , esaba abokusoka.

Kuthe uPilatu ezwa lelo zwi, kwayikhona esaba kakhulu,

Khona owesifazane esaba ethuthumela , azi okwenzekile kuye , weza waziphonsa phansi phambi kwakhe, wamtshela iqiniso lonke.

Ngokuba inhloko yase -Aramu iyiDamaseku , nenhloko yeDamaseku inguResini; phakathi kweminyaka engamashum i ayisithupha nanhlan u u- Efrayimi uyakwaphulwa angabe esaba yisizwe.

U-Abimeleki wavuka ekuseni , wabiza izinceku zakhe zonke , wakhuluma onke lawa mazwi ezindlebeni zazo; amadoda esaba kakhulu.

Amadoda esaba , ngokuba angeniswa e ndlini kaJosefa , athi: Singeniswe lapha ngenxa yemali eyabuyiselwa emasakeni ethu kuqala ukuba asizume , asehlele, asenze izigqila kanye nezimbongolo zethu.

Udumo lukaMowabi alusekho ; eHeshiboni bacebe okubi ngaye ngokuthi : Wozani simnqume , angabe esaba yisizwe . Nawe Madimeni uyakuthuliswa , inkemba ikulandele.

UMowabi uyakuchithwa, angabe esaba yisizwe , ngokuba uzikhukhumezile kuJehova.

Khona amatilosi esaba , akhala, kwaba yilelo nalelo kunkulunkulu walo , aphonsa elwandle impahla ebisemkhunjini ukuba ube lula kubo. Kepha uJona wayehlele phakathi komkhumbi, wayeselele ubuthongo.
