Labonkulunkulu betive letabhujiswa bobabemkhulu, batikhulula yini letive tabo, bonkulunkulu baseGozani, nebaseHarani, nebaseResefu kanye nebebantfu base-Edeni lababeseThelasari?

Nyalo-ke sengiyati kutsi Simakadze mkhulu kunabo bonkhe labanye bonkulunkulu, ngobe ema-Israyeli uwakhulule ekugcilatweni ngesihluku ngemaGibhithe.”
Emehlo ebantfu labatikhukhumetako ayawutfotjiswa, kutsi kutigcabha kwebantfu kwehliswe; Simakadze yena yedvwa uyawuphakanyiswa ngalelo langa.

Uyakwehlulela emkhatsini wetive, acatulule imibango yetive letinyenti. Tona-ke tiyawukhandza tinkemba tato, titente tibe ngemakhuba, tikhali tato tibe tikelo tekutsena tihlahla. Sive singeke sihlasele lesinye ngenkemba, futsi tive tingeke tisaceceshelwa kulwa imphi.
Kodvwa Simakadze longuSomandla utawuphakanyiswa ngekwehlulela kwakhe lokumsulwa. Nkulunkulu longcwele utabubonakalisa bungcwele bakhe ngekulunga kwakhe.
Naku lokushiwo nguSimakadze longuSomandla, utsi: “Buka la, butjoki ba-Elamu ngitabephula, yebo, sisekelo semandla abo.

Ngiyawubukhombisa kanjalo-ke bukhulu bami nebungcwele bami, ngiyawutenta kutsi ngatiwe emehlweni etive letinyenti. Ngulapho-ke bayawungati khona kutsi mine nginguSimakadze.’ ”
Ngiyawube-ke sengivitsita butjoki bakho esandleni sakho sangesancele, ngiyilahle phansi imicibisholo yakho lesesandleni sakho sangesekudla.
Uyakwehlulela emkhatsini wetive, acatulule imibango yetive letinemandla, edvute nakhashane. Tona-ke tiyawukhandza tinkemba tato, titente tibe ngemakhuba, tikhali tato tibe tikelo tekutsena tihlala. Sive singeke sihlasele lesinye ngenkemba, futsi tive tingeke tisaceceshelwa kulwa imphi.
“Kodvwa Simakadze usethempelini lakhe lelingcwele. Umhlaba wonkhe awuthule embikwakhe.”
“Thulani embikwaSimakadze, nonkhe nine bantfu bemhlaba, ngobe sewuvukile waphuma endzaweni yakhe lengcwele.”
Simakadze wakhuluma kuJoshuwa, watsi: “Ungabesabi, ngobe ngalesikhatsi kusasa bonkhe ngitawubaniketela kuma-Israyeli kutsi ababulale. Kufanele lamahhashi niwajube imisipha yemilente, bese nishisa letincola tabo.”
Joshuwa wenta kubo kona loko labetjelwe nguSimakadze kutsi akwente: Wajuba imisipha yemilente yemahhashi abo, washisa netincola tabo.
Lamuhla Simakadze utakunikela esandleni sami, ngitakushaya ngikulahle phansi, ngihhumbule inhloko yakho esidvunjini sakho. Lamuhla tidvumbu temaFilisti ngitatinika tinyoni telizulu kanye netilwane tesiganga, kuze umhlaba wonkhe wati kutsi kukhona Nkulunkulu ka-Israyeli,
