7 Ke kaloku uYehova wathi kuGidiyon: “Ndiya kunisindisa ngala madoda angamakhulu amathathu aye axhapha, kwaye ndiya kumnikela uMidiyan esandleni senu.+ Ke bona bonke abanye abantu, ngamnye makaye endaweni yakhe.”

6 Ngoko uYonatan wathi kumlindi, umphathi wezikrweqe zakhe: “Yiza size siwelele kwinkampu yala madoda angalukanga.+ Mhlawumbi uYehova uya kusisebenzela, kuba akukho sithintelo kuYehova ukuba asindise ngabaninzi okanye ngabambalwa.”+

9 lowo ubangela ukuba owomeleleyo abanekelwe kukuphangwa, kuze ukuphanga oko kufikelele nakwindawo enqatyisiweyo.

27 kodwa uThixo wanyula izinto ezibubudenge zehlabathi,+ ukuze abahlazise abantu abazizilumko; yaye uThixo wanyula izinto ezibuthathaka zehlabathi, ukuze azihlazise izinto ezomeleleyo;+

9 ukanti ngokwenene yathi kum: “Ububele bam obunganifanelanga bukulingene;+ kuba amandla am enziwa agqibelele kubuthathaka.”+ Ke ngoko, ngokuchulumanca okukhulu, ndiza kuqhayisa ngobuthathaka bam,+ ukuze amandla kaKRISTU ahlale njengentente phezu kwam.
