31 “Ngizokubeka imikhawulwenu kusukela eLwandle eliBomvu kuya elwandle lamaFilista, kusukela emmangweni kuya eMlanjeni*+ ngombana ngizokunikela abantu abahlala khona esandleni senu, nizobaqotha phambi kwenu.+ 32 Ningenzi isivumelwano nabo namkha nabozimu babo.+ 33 Akukafuzi bahlale enarhenenu ngombana bazanenza none kimi. Naningalotjha abozimu babo, lokho kuzakuba sithiyo kimi.”+

3 Akukafuzi nitjhadiselane nazo. Ningendiseli amadodakazenu kizo namkha nithathele amadodanenu abafazi kizo.+ 4 Ngombana azokuphambukisa amadodanenu angasangilandela, alotjhe abanye abozimu;+ uJehova uzokusilingeka khulu ngebanga lenu begodu uzonitjhabalalisa msinyana.+

12 “Kodwana naningalahla uZimu bese ninamathele eentjhabenezi ezisele hlangana nani,+ nitjhadiselane nazo+ nizihlanganise nazo begodu nazo zizihlanganise nani, 13 kufuze nazi ngokuqinisekileko ukuthi uJehova uZimenu angekhe arage nokuniqothela iintjhabezi.+ Zizokuba sisifu, sithiyo nesibebhe esiniritha emihlana+ nameva emehlwenenu bekube kulapho nitjhabalele enarheni ehle le uJehova uZimenu aninikele yona.

2 Nina, kufuze ningenzi isivumelwano nezakhamuzi zenarha le+ begodu kufuze nibhuruze ama-aldarabo.’+ Kodwana akhenge nilalele ilizwi lami.+ Kubayini nenze lokhu? 3 Kungebangelo ngathi, ‘Angeze ngabaqotha phambi kwenu+ begodu bazokuba sithiyo kini,+ nabozimu babo bazoniyenga bona ningilahle.’”+
