33 Lesi sibusiso uMosi, inceku kaZimu weqiniso asimemezela kuma-Israyeli ngaphambi kokuhlongakala kwakhe.+ 2 Wathi:
“UJehova uzile avela eSinayi,+
Iphazimulwakhe ibonakele kibo kusukela eSeyiri.
Iphazimulwakhe ivele esifundeni seentaba seParana,+
Bekaneengilozi ezinengi* ezicwengileko,+
Ngesandleni sakhe sokudla kunamabutho.+
7 Watjho isibusiswesi ngoJuda:+
“Jehova, lalela ilizwi lakaJuda,+
Kwanga ungambuyisela ebantwini bekhabo.
Imikhonwakhe ivikela okungebakhe,
Kwanga ungamsiza ahlule amanabakhe.”+
8 NgoLevi wathi:+
Owalwa naye hlanu kwamanzi weMeriba,+
9 Umuntu loyo uthe kuyise nonina, ‘Anginandaba nani.’
Ngitjho nabafowabo akhenge abatjheje,+
Akhenge athathe ihlangothi lamadodanakhe.
Ulilalele ilizwi lakho,
Begodu akhenge asikhohlwe isivumelwano sakho.+
11 Jehova, busisa amandlakhe,
Uthande umsebenzi wezandla zakhe.
Phula imilenze yamanabakhe,
Khona abamhloyako bangekhe basaba khona.”
12 NgoBhenjamini wathi:+
“Othandwe nguJehova uzakuhlala naye ngokuphepha
Njengombana ahlezi naye ilanga loke,
Uzakuhlala hlangana namahlombakhe.”
13 NgoJosefa wathi:+
“Kwanga uJehova angabusisa inarhakhe+
Ngezinto ezikhethekileko zezulwini,
Ngombethe nangamanzi aphuma emithonjeni,+
14 Ngezinto ezikhethekileko ezikhuliswa lilanga
Nezinto ezikhethekileko ezikhula qobe nyanga,+
15 Ngezinto ezikhethekileko zeentabeni zakade*+
Nezinto ezikhethekileko zemibundwini ehlala ikhona,
16 Ngezinto ezikhethekileko zephasini nakho koke kwakhona,+
Ngomusa waloyo ohlala emthini wameva.+
Kwanga zingehlela phezu kwehloko kaJosefa,
Loyo owakhethululwa bafowabo.+
17 Amandlakhe anjengewezibulo lekunzi,
Iimpondo zakhe ziimpondo zekunzi yommango.
Ngazo usunduza abantu
Ukuyokufikela emaphethelweni wephasi.
Ziziinkulungwana zamatjhumi wakwa-Efrayimu,+
Begodu ziziinkulungwana zakwaManase.”
18 NgoZebuloni wathi:+
“Thaba Zebuloni nawuphumako,
Nawe Isakari thaba ngematendenakho.+
19 Bazokubizela abantu entabeni.
Kulapho bazokunikela khona imihlatjelo yokulunga.
Bazokudla umnotho welwandle
Badle namagugu afihliweko wehlabathi.”
20 NgoGadi wathi:+
“Ubusisiwe loyo onabisa imikhawulo kaGadi.+
Olala njengebhubezi,
Alungele ukurathula umkhono nehloko.
Abadosiphambili babantu bazokuhlangana.
Uzokwenza ngokuvumelana nobulungiswa bakaJehova,
Nemithethwakhe kwa-Israyeli.”
22 NgoDani wathi:+
“UDani libhubezana.+
Uzokusahlela asuka eBhatjhani.”+
23 Wathi ngoNafitali:+
“UNafitali waneliswa mumusa kaJehova
Begodu uyambusisa.
Uzokuhlala etjingalanga nesewula.”
24 Ngo-Atjheri wathi:+
“U-Atjheri akabusiswe ngamadodana.
Kwanga angathandwa bafowabo,
Afake iinyawo zakhe emafutheni.
25 Iinqabo zakho kuzokuba ngezesimbi nekhopha,+
Uzokuvikeleka ukuphila kwakho koke.
26 Akekho onjengoZimu weqiniso+ kaJetjhuruni,+
Osuka ezulwini bona azokusiza
Ngamandlakhe uza aphezu kwamafu.+
28 Ama-Israyeli azokuhlala aphephile,
Nomthombo kaJakopo uzokuvikeleka
Enarheni yekoroyi newayini elitjha,+
Umkayi wakhona uzokwehlisa umbethe.+
29 Niyathaba ma-Israyeli!+
