Wo kuwena lizwe lokuhashaza kwamaphiko eliphesheya komfula waseKushe,
2 elithuma izigijimi ngolwandle nangemikhumbi yemihlanga phezu kwamanzi. Hambani nina zithunywa ezinejubane, niye esizweni esidephileyo nesikhazimulayo, kubantu abesabekayo lapha nasekudeni, isizwe esinamandla amakhulu nesinyathelayo, esilizwe laso lidatshulwe yimifula.
3 Nonke nina enakhileyo ezweni nani nonke enihlezi emhlabeni bhekani, lapho ibhanela liphakanyiswa ezintabeni; zwanini, lapho icilongo libethwa.
4 Ngokuba uJehova ushilo kimi kanje, wathi: “Ngiyakubheka ngithule, ngisendaweni yami, njengokubalela okukhazimula ekukhanyeni kwelanga, njengefu lamazolo ekufudumaleni ngesikhathi sokuvuna.”
5 Ngokuba kungakafiki ukuvuna, nokukhahlela sekuphelile, nembali isiphenduka isithelo esivuthiweyo, uyakunquma amahlumela ngawocelemba, awasike amagatsha, awasuse.
6 Ayakushiywa ndawonye abe ngawamanqe asezintabeni nawezilwane zasemhlabeni; amanqe ayakuhlala ehlobo phezu kwawo, nazo zonke izilwane zomhlaba ziyakuhlala ebusika phezu kwawo.
7 Ngaleso sikhathi kuyakulethwa isipho kuJehova Sebawoti yibo abantu abadephileyo nabakhazimulayo, sivela kubantu abesabekayo lapha nasekudeni, isizwe esinamandla amakhulu nesinyathelayo, esilizwe laso lidatshulwe yimifula, endaweni yegama likaJehova Sebawoti, intaba yaseSiyoni.
