17Ngaba isiphoso sikaPehore sincinane gqitha kuthi, esingekazihlambululi kuso de kube namhlanje, nangona isibetho sabonakala ebandleni likaYehova? 18Ngaba ubuya kutyeka na namhlanje ekulandeleni uYehova? ngoxa nivukela uYehova namhlanje, ngomso uya kulicaphukela lonke ibandla lakwaSirayeli. 19Ukuba liyinqambi ilizwe lelifa lenu, hambani niye ezweni lelifa likaYehova, ohleli kulo umnquba kaYehova, nixhamle phakathi kwethu; Ke musa ukugwilika kuYehova, musa ukusiphikisa; wazakhele isibingelelo phambi kwesibingelelo sikaYehova uThixo wethu. 20Akazange na uAkan, unyana kaSeraki, enze ububi ngenxa yobubi, kwaza kwabakho umsindo phezu kwebandla lonke likaSirayeli? kwaye loo mntu akazange atshabalale ngokungendawo kwakhe yedwa. 21Baphendula oonyana bakaRubhen, noonyana bakaGadi, nesiqingatha sesizwe sakwaManase, bathi kwiintloko zamawaka akwaSirayeli, 22uYehova, uThixouThixo, uYehova, uThixouThixo, nguye owaziyo, uya kumazi amaSirayeli; nokugwilika kuYehova, nokona kuYehova (musa ukusisindisa namhla) 23ukuze sakhe isibingelelo sokubuya simke kuYehova okanye senze umnikelo otshiswayo okanye umnikelo wokudla okuziinkozo phezu kwaso okanye senze imibingelelo yombulelo phezu kwaso, kuya kuba yimfuneko kuYehova ngokwakhe; 24Besingenakuyenza njani loo nto, ngenxa yokuba besisoyika lo mbandela, saza sathi, Ekuhambeni kwexesha oonyana benu baya kukwazi ukuthetha koonyana bethu, besithi, ‘Nina nengxaki uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli? 25Kuba uYehova umise umda weYordan phakathi kwethu nani, nyana bakaRubhen noonyana bakaGadi aninasabelo kuYehova; ukuze abantwana benu bayeke ukumoyika uYehova. 26Kungenxa yoko le nto sithe: Masilungiselele ngoku ukuze asakhele isibingelelo, singesamadini anyukayo nemibingelelo. 27Kodwa ukuze kube bubungqina phakathi kwethu nani nakwizizukulwana zethu eziya kulandela emva kwethu, ukuze siyenze inkonzo kaYehova phambi kobuso bakhe ngeminikelo yethu etshiswayo nangemibingelelo yethu nemibingelelo yethu yombulelo; ukuze oonyana benu ngexesha elifanelekileyo bangathi koonyana bethu: “Aninasabelo kuYehova nina. 28Kungenxa yoko le nto sithe, ukuba bathe basixelela le nto, nakwizizukulwana zethu kwixesha elizayo, sobuya sithi, Khangelani umzekelo wesibingelelo sikaYehova, abasenzayo oobawo, kungekhona umlilo; kungekhona imibingelelo; kodwa ulingqina phakathi kwethu nani. 29Ngamana uThixo angasithintela ekuvukeleni uYehova nasekuphambukeni kuYehova namhlanje, sakhe isibingelelo sedini elinyukayo neminikelo etshiswayo okanye iminikelo esibingelelweni sikaYehova uThixo wethu phambi komnquba wakhe. 30Waweva ke uPinehasi umbingeleli, nezikhulu zebandla, neentloko zamawaka akwaSirayeli, ezibe zinaye, amazwi abewathethile oonyana bakaRubhen, noonyana bakaGadi, noonyana bakaManase, bawabona kakuhle. 31Wathi uPinehasi, unyana wombingeleli uElazare, koonyana bakaRubhen, nakoonyana bakaGadi, nakoonyana bakaManase, Namhla siyabona ukuba uYehova uphakathi kwethu, ngokuba animonanga kuYehova nibakhulule ngoku oonyana bakaSirayeli esandleni sikaYehova. 32Wabuya ke uPinehasi unyana kaElazare, umbingeleli nezikhulu, koonyana bakaRubhen, nakoonyana bakaGadi, ezweni laseGiliyadi, ezweni lakwaKanan, koonyana bakaSirayeli; bona yazi kwakhona. 33Lalunga elo lizwi koonyana bakaSirayeli oonyana bakaSirayeli bamdumisa uThixo, àbacinga ukuba babaxabele, balitshabalalise ilizwe ababehleli kulo oonyana bakaRubhen noGadi. 34Oonyana bakaRubhen noonyana bakaGadi basibiza eso sibingelelo ngokuthi nguEdi, kuba siya kuba lingqina phakathi kwethu lokuba uYehova unguThixo.
