7 “Ayisikho ukuthi uJehova walihawukela njalo walikhetha ngenxa yokuthi laliyisizwe esilabantu abanengi ukwedlula zonke ezinye izizwe.+ Phela lina lalivele liyisizwe esincane kulazo zonke.+ 8 Kodwa kungenxa yokuthi uJehova walithanda njalo wayefuna ukugcwalisa isifungo asenza kubokhokho benu,+ yikho uJehova walikhipha ngesandla esilamandla ukuze alikhulule elizweni lobugqili,+ emandleni kaFaro,* inkosi yaseGibhithe.

22 “Yikho-ke khuluma labantu bako-Israyeli uthi, ‘Nanku okutshiwo yiNkosi Enkulu uJehova: “Engikwenzayo angikwenzeli lina bantu bako-Israyeli, kodwa ngikwenzela ibizo lami elingcwele elilingcolisileyo ezizweni elaya kuzo.”’+
