12 Yiyo ke loo nto engenakumelana notshaba nje amaSirayeli. Ebaleka nje kungenxa yokuba nawo emelwe kukutshabalala! Andikubuya ndibe phakathi kwenu nide nibe nizitshabalalisile izinto ebekufuneka zitshatyalaliswe.
13 “Phakama ke, ubahlambulule abantu. Yithi kubo mabazihlambulule ngenxa yokuya kwenzeka ngomso, kuba mna Ndikhoyo, Thixo wamaSirayeli, ndithi kubo: ‘Phakathi kwenu kukho oko bekumelwe kukunikelwa kum ngokutshatyalaliswa. Anisoze nibe nakumelana notshaba de nahlukane nezo zinto.’
14 “Baxelele ke ukuba ngomso kusasa baza kubizwa ngokwezizwe zabo. Eso sizwe salathiweyo nguNdikhoyo kufuneka size ngaphambili ngokwezindlu zaso, ize indlu eyalathiweyo ize ngaphambili ngokomzi, kuze kumzi owalathiweyo kuphume indoda nganye.
15 Loo ndoda ke yalathiweyo kwaza kwafunyanwa kuyo ezo zinto kufuneka zitshatyalalisiwe, yotshiswa kunye nako konke okukokwayo. Kaloku iwaphule umnqophiso kaNdikhoyo, yenza ubuyatha kwaSirayeli.”
16 Kwangentsasa ngengomso uYoshuwa wawabiza amaSirayeli, izizwe ngezizwe. Isizwe sakwaJuda salathwa nguNdikhoyo.
17 Seza ngaphambili isizwe sakwaJuda ngokwezindlu zaso, kwaza kwalathwa indlu kaZera. Kuloo ndlu kaZera kwathiwa imizi yayo mayize ngaphambili,
18 kwaza kwalathwa umzi kaZabhedi. Eza ngaphambili amadoda aloo mzi, kwaza kwalathwa uAkana unyana kaKarmi umzukulwana kaZabhedi wakwaZera wesizwe sakwaJuda.
