OSimeyoni noLevi bayizelamani ; izinkemba zabo ziyizikhali zobudlwangudlwangu.

Ngokuba babalekela izinkemba , izinkemba ezihoshiweyo , neminsalo ensaliweyo, nobunzima bempi.

Uyakwahlulela phakathi kwezizwe , anqume phakathi kwabantu abaningi ; bayakukhanda izinkemba zabo zibe ngamakhuba , nemikhonto yabo ibe ngocelemba; isizwe asiyikuphakamisela isizwe inkemba , zingabe zisafunda ukulwa.

Kwakungekho mkhandi ezweni lonke lakwa -Israyeli, ngokuba amaFilisti athi: Funa amaHeberu azenzele izinkemba nemikhonto.

Bheka, bayampompa ngomlomo wabo, kukhona izinkemba ezindebeni zabo, ngokuba bathi: Ngubani ozwayo na?

ngalokho bheka , ngiyakukwehlisela abafokazi , abesabekayo bezizwe ; bayakuhoshela ubuhle bokuhlakanipha kwakh o izinkemba zabo , bangcolise ukukhazimula kwakho.

Yena nabantu bakhe kanye naye , abesabekayo bezizwe , bayakulethwa ukuba bachithe izwe , bahoshele iGibithe izinkemba zabo , bagcwalise izwe ngabagwaziweyo.

Laba babangasokile abawileyo abayikulala namaq hawe ehlela endaweni yabafileyo enezikhali zawo zokulwa , abekwa izinkemba zawo phansi kwamakhanda, nezihlangu zawo ziphezu kwamathambo awo , ngokuba besabisa amaqhawe ezweni labaphilayo.

Ngaleso sikhathi uJesu wathi ezixukwini : Niphumile kun gathi nize kumphangi, niphethe izinkemba nezinduku ukungibamba , na? Bengihlezi ethempelini imihla ngemihla ngifundisa, anangibamba.

UJesu wathatha wathi kubo: Niphumile kungathi nize kumphangi, niphethe izinkemba nezinduku ukungibamba.

Base bethi: Nkosi, bheka, nazi izinkemba ezimbili. Wathi kubo: Kwanele. EGetsemane (Math. 26:36; Mark. 14:32)

Wathi uJesu kubapristi abakhulu , nezinduna zethempeli , namalunga ababeze kuye : Niphumile kungathi nize kumphangi niphethe izinkemba nezinduku.
