2 “Thetha koonyana bakaSirayeli uthi kubo, ‘Ukuba ibhinqa okanye indoda yenza isibhambathiso esikhethekileyo sokuphila njengomNaziri+ kuYehova,

5 Kuba, khangela! uya kumitha, kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo uya kuzala unyana, yaye incakuba ayiyi kufika entlokweni yakhe,+ ngenxa yokuba umntwana lowo uya kuba ngumNaziri+ kaThixo ekuphumeni kwakhe esiswini;+ yaye nguye oya kukhokela ekusindiseni uSirayeli esandleni samaFilisti.”+

17 Ekugqibeleni wayityhila yonke intliziyo yakhe+ kuye waza wathi kuye: “Incakuba+ ayizange ifike entlokweni yam, ngenxa yokuba ndingumNaziri kaThixo kusukela ndisesesiswini sikama.+ Ukuba ndithe ndachetywa, namandla am aya kumka kum ngokuqinisekileyo, yaye ndiya kuba buthathaka ndize ndibe njengabanye abantu bonke.”+
