Wayesephaphama uJakobe ebuthongweni bakhe , wathi: Imbala uJehova ukule ndawo, mina-ke bengingakwazi.

Wawabethela-ke ngesikhonkwane, wathi kuye: AmaFilisti aphezu kwakho, Samsoni. Wavuka ebuthongweni , wasincothula isikhonkwane sokweluka nezintambo zokwelukwa.

Wathi: AmaFilisti aphezu kwakho, Samsoni. Wavuka ebuthongweni, wathi: Ngiyakuphuma njengangezinye izikhathi , ngizithintithe. Kepha wayengazi ukuthi uJehova wayemukile kuye.

kanjalo umuntu ulala phansi , angabe esavuka ; lize lingabikho izulu abayikuvuka, bangaphaphanyiswa ebuthongweni babo.

Uyakulala kuze kube nini , vilandini? Uyakuvuka nini ebuthongweni bakho na?

Ubuvila bushonisa ebuthongweni obunzima, nesidenge siyalamba.

Ingelosi eyayikhuluma nami yabuya , yangivusa njengomuntu evuswa ebuthongweni bakhe.

UJosefa esevukile ebuthongweni wenza njengalokho imyal ile ingelosi yeNkosi, wamthatha umkakhe;

Wakhuluma lokho; emva kwalokho wathi kubo : ULazaru umhlobo wethu ulele, kepha ngiyahamba ukuba ngimvuse ebuthongweni.

Yenzani lokhu, njengokuba nazi isikhathi ukuthi sekuyihora lokuba nivuke ebuthongweni; ngokuba manje insindiso isisondele kithi kunaleso sikhathi esaqala ukukholwa ngaso.
