Ngenyanga yesithathu baqala ukubeka izisekelo zezinqwaba , ngenyanga yesikhombisa baziqeda.

Kwase kubonakala imisinga yamanzi ; izisekelo zomhlaba zambulw a ngesijeziso sikaJehova, ngokufutha komoya wamakhala akhe.

Umhlaba wawusuzamazama , wadikizela; izisekelo zezulu zathuthumela , zaqhaqhazela ngokuba ethukuthele.

Nxa izisekelo zidilizwa, olungileyo angenzani na?

Kwase kubonakala imisinga yamanzi ; izisekelo zomhlaba zambulwa ngesijeziso sakho, Jehova, ngokufutha komoya wamakhala akho.

Umhlaba wawusuzamazama, wadikizela; izisekelo zezintaba zathuthumela, zagubhuzela ngokuba ethukuthele.

Abanakwazi, abanakuqonda, bahamba ebumnyameni ; izisekelo zonke zomhlaba ziyazamazama.

Izisekelo zogange lomuzi zivunulisiwe ngawo onke amatshe anena ni elikhulu; isisekelo sokuqala siyijaspi , esesibili yisafire , esesithathu yikhalkedoni, esesine yisimaragidu,

UJehova ufezile ukufutheka kwakhe, uthululile ukufutheka kwentukuthelo yakhe; uphembile umlilo eSiyoni oqedile izisekelo zalo.

lapho emisela ulwandle umncele, ukuze amanzi angeqi izwi lakhe, nalapho emisa izisekelo zomhlaba,

kwavela ngokuzuma ukuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu , kwaze kwazanyazanyiswa izisekelo zetilongo ; kwavuleka khona lapho iminyango yonke, kwathukuluka nezibopho zabo bonke.

Wozenza izisekelo zegolide,

Ufake kuso izisekelo zamatshe, kube yizinhla ezine zamatshe : uhla lwesardiyu, netopazi, nerubi, lube luhla lokuqala;

Benza izisekelo ezimbili zegolide namasongo amabili egol ide; bawafaka amasongo omabili emaceleni omabili esihlangu.

Makwazeke enkosini ukuthi abaJuda abakhuphuka kuwe sebefikile kithi eJerusalema; bayawakha umuzi ohlubukileyo nonengekayo ; sebeyakuqeda izingange, bahlanganise izisekelo.

Wayesefika lowo Sheshebasari , wabeka izisekelo zendlu kaNkulunkulu eseJerusalema; kusukela kuleso sikhathi kuze kube manje isakhiwa njalo , kayikapheli.

Ngomnyaka wokuqala kaKoresi inkosi , uKoresi inkosi wakhipha isimemezelo sokuthi : Ngendlu kaNkulunkulu eseJerusalema , indlu mayakhiwe endaweni lapho benik elela khona ngemihlatshelo , zibekwe izisekelo zayo , ziqine, ukuphakama kwayo kube yizingalo ezingamashumi ayisithupha, ububanzi bayo bube yizingalo ezingamashumi ayisithupha;

Izisekelo zalo ziyakwaphulwa , bonke abasebenza ngokuqashwa badabuke ngenhliziyo.

Wena ohluphekayo, ohlukunyeziwe ungaduduzwanga, bheka, ngiyakufaka amatshe akho abe mahle, ngizibeke izisekelo zakho ngamasafire.

Abavela kuwe bayakwakha izincithakalo ezindala , ubuye wakhe izisekelo zezizukulwane ezidlulileyo , ubizwe ngokuthi uMvalisikhal a noMlungisi wemikhondo ukuba kuhlalwe khona.

Ngokuba umlilo uphenjiwe entukuthelweni yami ; uyasha kuze kube sendaweni yabafileyo engaphansi , uqede umhlaba nezithelo zawo , wokhele izisekelo zezintaba.

Inkemba iyakulehlela iGibithe, kube yimihelo eKushe, lapho abagwaziweyo bewa eGibithe; bayakususa ingcebo yalo, kudilizwe izisekelo zalo.

Ngabona ukuthi indlu yayinendunduma nxazonke ; izisekelo zamakamelo ezinhlangothi zaziluhlanga olupheleleyo lwezing alo eziyisithupha kuze kube sekuhlanganisweni phezulu.

Memezani kulo nxazonke ; lizinikele, izisekelo zalo ziwile , izingange zalo zidiliziwe, ngokuba kuyimpindiselo kaJehova ; phindiselani kulo, nenze kulo njengokwenza kwalo.

Izisekelo zawo zabekwa phezu kwani na ? Ngubani owabeka itshe lawo legumbi,
