The Israelites are called righteous (recti,) as also in other places, not on account of their own righteousness, but in accordance with God's good pleasure, who had deigned to separate them from the unclean nations.
A va khongeli HOSI Xikwembu, a va hanyi hi milawu ni swiletelo leswi va nga nyikiwa swona; a va yingisi Nawu ni swileriso leswi HOSI Xikwembu xi nyikeke vatukulu va Yakobo, loyi xi n'wi thyeke vito ra Israele.
