31 “Umda wakho ndiza kuwenza uqale kuLwandle Olubomvu uyokutsho kulwandle lwamaFilisti, uphinde uqale entlango uyokutsho eMlanjeni,*+ kuba ndiza kubanikela esandleni sakho abemi belo lizwe, ubagxothe bemke.+ 32 Uze ungenzi sivumelwano nabo okanye noothixo babo.+ 33 Mabangahlali elizweni lakho, ukuze bangakwenzi undone. Ukuba ukhe wakhonza oothixo babo, loo nto iza kuba ngumgibe kuwe.”+

3 Uze ungatshatiselani nazo. Iintombi zakho uze ungaziniki oonyana bazo, okanye uthathele oonyana bakho iintombi zazo.+ 4 Kuba ziza kwenza oonyana bakho bayeke ukundilandela, bakhonze abanye oothixo;+ yaye uYehova uza kuba nomsindo, aze akhawuleze anitshabalalise.+

12 “Kodwa ukuba nikhe najika naza nathi nca kwezi ntlanga zishiyekileyo,+ natshatisa abantwana benu nabantwana bazo,+ naba ngabahlobo nazo, 13 ze nazi ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba uYehova uThixo wenu akazukuqhubeka ezigxotha ezi* ntlanga.+ Ziza kuba ngumgibe, zibe njengesabhokwe sokunitywatyusha+ nanjengameva emehlweni enu de niphele kulo mhlaba mhle niwunikwe nguYehova uThixo wenu.

2 Nina ke, ze ningenzi sivumelwano nabemi beli lizwe,+ yaye nifanele nizidilize izibingelelo zabo.’+ Kodwa anikhange nilimamele ilizwi lam.+ Niyenzele ntoni loo nto? 3 Kungenxa yoko le nto ndithe, ‘Andizukubagxotha phambi kwenu,+ yaye baza kuba ngumgibe kuni,+ noothixo babo babe sisirhintyelo kuni.’”+
