1756. Konke lokhu okwethulwe ngenhla kuyizinto eziqukethwe yingqondo engaphakathi yalesiSahluko esiphezu kwaso; kodwa konke ukulandelana kwemicabango, nobuhle bakho, kakunakubonakala uma zonke izinto, yileyo naleyo ichazwa ngokusukela encazelweni yamagama, njengoba kungabonakala uma imicabango iqondwa njengomqondo owodwa. Lapho lemicabango yalesiSahluko iqondwa ngengomqondo owodwa leyomicabango ehlakazekile noma esabalele ibonakala ihlangene ngokumangalisayo futhi ixhumene. Lesisimo sifana nesomuntu olalele omunye umuntu ekhuluma kodwa olalele anake noma ahlaziye amagama asetshenziswayo. Lapho-ke umuntu olalele kawutholi umqondo ophelele njengoba ebezowuthola ukuba ubenganakile amagama noma amazwi ngalinye nokufanekiswa ngawo. Ngokuba ubuhlobo obuphakathi kwengqondo engaphakathi yeZwi nengqondo engaphandle noma yemvelo yeZwi buyafana nobuhlobo obuphakathi kwenkulumo namazwi ayo lapho izwi ngalinye lenkulumo lingahlaziywa, ikakhulu lapho linganakwa, nalapho umqondo ugxiliswa engqondweni yezinto ezifanekiswa ngamagama noma ngamazwi omuntu okhulumayo.

[2] Indlela yokubhala yasemandulondulo yayifanekisa izinto zempela kumbe izihloko ezithile ngabantu nangezisho, okwakuyizihloko nezisho okwakufanekiswa ngakho izinto ezazehluke geqe kulabobantu noma kulezozisho. Abalobi bangaleyonkathi babeloba imilando yabo ngalendlela, beloba kanjalo malungana nempilo noma nezenzeko zomphakathi kanye nangempilo yangasese. Imbala babebhala ngendlela yokuba kungabikho lutho emibhalweni yabo eyayifanele ukuqondwa njengoba ilotshiwe, kodwa kufanele kuqondwe okunye okumumethwe ngamazwi noma ngamagama elotshwe ngawo. Umkhuba wokubhala ngalendlela babenawo kangangoba babethula zonke izinhlobo zezinkanuko njengezithixo nezithixokazi ezakhonzwa kamuva ngabahedeni noma ngamaqaba njengezinto ezinoBunkulunkulu, njengoba abantu abafundileyo bekwazi lokhu ngoba izincwadi ezilotshwe ngaleyondlela zisekhona nanamhlanje. Loluhlobo lokuloba lwalusuka kubantu basemandulondulo ababephila ngaphambi kukaZamcolo, ababefanekisa izinto zasezulwini nezinto zoBunkulunkulu ngesu lezinto zemvelo ezisemkhathini nasemhlabeni. Ngokufanekisa kanjalo babegcwalisa imiqondo nemiphefumulo yabo ngezintokozo nangobumnandi lapho bebuka izinto zemvelo ezisemkhathini, ikakhulu lezozinto ezazikhanga ngesimo, ngesakheko nangehlelo kwazo. Yingakho zonke izincwadi zeSonto langaleyonkathi zazilotshwe ngaleyondlela. UJobe ungenye yezincwadi ezilotshwe ngalendlela; neCulo lamaCulo likaSolomoni lilotshwe ngendlela elingisa eyalezozincwadi. Zombili izincwadi ezigagulwa wuMose kuNumeri 21:14, 27, zazilotshwe ngaleyondlela, kanye nezinye izincwadi eziningi esezashabalala.

[3] Ngenxa yokuthi loluhlobo lokuloba lwalusuka emandulondulo, ngakhoke lwaluhlonishwa kakhulu ngabantu abangaphandle kweSonto kanye nozalo lukaJakobe, luhlonishwa kangangoba konke okwakungalotshiwe ngalolohlobo noma ngaleyondlela kwakungathathwa njengento yoBunkulunkulu. Yingakho futhi labobantu begunywa noma bevuswa wumumoya obikezelayo, babekhuluma ngendlela efanayo, okuyinto eyayenzeka ngezizathu ezifihlakele. Wayekhuluma ngaleyondlela uJakobe (Genesise 49:3-27) ; uMose wayekhuluma ngaleyondlela (Eksodusi 15:1-21) ; naku (Duteronomi33:2 ekugcineni) ; uBhalamu, owayengomunye wamadodana asempumalanga yeSiriya, lapho iSonto laseMandulo laqhubeka nokusimama (Numeri 23:7-10; 19-24; 24:5-9; 17-24) ; uDebhora noBharakhi (AbAhluleli 5:2 ekugcineni) ; uHanna (1 Samuweli 2:2-10), nabanye abaningi. Yize, ngaphandle kwengcosane, babengaqondi futhi bengazi ukuthi amazwi ababewaphimisa ayefanekisa izinto zasezulwini zombuso weNkosi neSonto, nokho babengenwa yitwetwe nokumangala, ngoba bezwa ukuthi kukhona okoBunkulunkulu nokungcwele kubona.

[4] Kodwa abantu abafundileyo emhlabeni bebengakakwazi ukuthi imilando eseZwini ibhalwe ngendlela efanayo, okungukuthi, ukuthi amagama agagulwa kulo nezisho ezithile okusetshenziswe ekufanekiseni izinto zezulu lamazulu nezinto zezulu likamoya zombuso weNkosi, ngaphandle kokuthi iZwi lifunzelelwe ngisho nangechashaza uqobo lwalo, nokuthi lowo nalowomniningwane okulo umumethe imfihlakalo ethile.

2 Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.

3 Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel.

4 LORD, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water.

5 The mountains melted from before the LORD, even that Sinai from before the LORD God of Israel.

6 In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.

7 The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.

8 They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?

9 My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD.

10 Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.

11 They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD go down to the gates.

12 Awake, Awake, Deborah: Awake, Awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.

13 Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.

14 Out of Ephraim was there a root of them against Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy people; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.

15 And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart.

16 Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.

17 Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.

18 Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.

19 The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.

20 They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.

21 The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.

22 Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings, the pransings of their mighty ones.

23 Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty.

24 Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, Blessed shall she be above women in the tent.

25 He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.

26 She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples.

27 At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead.

28 The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why tarry the wheels of his chariots?

29 Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself,

30 Have they not sped? have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needlework, of divers colours of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take the spoil?

31 So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
