1Emnyakeni wetjhumi nanye elangeni lokuthoma lenyanga, ilizwi lakaSomnini lafika kimi lathi: 2“Ndodana yomuntu, njengombana iTirosi likhulume mayelana neJerusalema lathi,
“ ‘Arha! Lidilikile iJerusalema
okulisango labantu.
Ipahlalo izakulethwa kimi,
ngizakuzuza ngombana limarubhi!’
3“ngalokho nakhu okutjhiwo nguSomnini uSomandla,
“Qala, ngijamelene nawe, wena Tirosi,
ngizokuvusa izizwe ezinengi ezijamelene nawe,
njengelwandle nalivusa amagagasalo.
4Zona zizokubhuruza imithangala yeTirosi,
zephule nemibhotjhongwalo.
Ihlabathalo ngizoyithanyela,
ngilenze libe lidwala lakodwala.
5Lizakuba yindawo yokomisa iinrhurhulanede
ngaphakathi kwelwandle.
“Iye, ngikhulumile mina.” Kutjho uSomnini uSomandla. “ITirosi lizakuba yipango ezizweni. 6Imizana esenarhenalo, izakurhayilwa ngesabula. Nje-ke bazakwazi bonyana nginguSomnini.”
7Mbala, nakhu okutjhiwo nguSomnini uSomandla: “Qala ngizokuletha eTirosi uNebukadiretsari ikosi yeBhabheli osuka ngetlhagwini, oyikosi yamanye amakhosi, afike neenjomani, iinkarana zepi nabakhweli bazo kanye nesiqubuthu esikhulu samajoni.
8“Yena uzakurhayila ngesabula imizana
esenarhenakho, wena Tirosi.
Uzakwakha umbhotjhongo wepi ojamelene nawe,
akhe iinqabo eziqhube emthangalenakho,
ajamelane nawe angaphasi kwephahla leenhlangu.
9Uzakusahlela imithangalakho ngekoloyana enomgqala
aphohloze iinthala zabalindi ngemigqalakhe.
10Ngebanga lomhlambi weenjomani zakhe
uzakuvalwa lithuli.
Ngebanga letjhada lamavili weenkarana zepi
nabakhweli bazo
imithangalakho izakudengezela
lokha nangena emasangwenakho
njengabantu abangena edorobheni elifohloziweko.
11Ngeenqatha zeenjomani zakhe,
uzakonakalisa zoke iindledlana zakho Tirosi.
Uzakubulala ibutho lakho ngesabula,
iinsika zakho eziqinileko ziwele phasi.
12Bazakuphanga umnothwakho
bebahlangule irhwebo lakho.
Bazakudiliza imithangalakho
bebaphohloze izindlu zakho ezihle.
Amatjakho, iingodo nequqwako
bazakuphosela emanzini.
13Ngizakuthulisa umvumo weengoma zakho
nomkenenezo wamaharibhanakho
angekhe usezwakala.
14Ngizakwenza ube lidwala lakodwala:
Uzakuba yindawo yokomisela iinrhurhulanede.
Angekhe usavuseleleka godu
ngombana mina Somnini ngikhulumile.”
Kutjho uSomnini uSomandla.
15Nakhu okutjhiwo nguSomnini uSomandla kilo iTirosi: “Kghani iinarha ezimagegana nelwandle azizukuthuthumela ngomdumo wokuwa kwakho na? Iye, lokha abalinyaziweko nababongolelako nalokha nakubulawa ngesihluku ngaphakathi kwakho na? 16Nje-ke woke amakhosana welwandle azakwehlika eenhlalweni zawo zobukhosi, abeke phasi amanakawo abe ahlubule nezambatho zawo ezimibalabala. Azakwembatha ngokuthuthumela; ahlale phasi ehlabathini aqhaqhazele ngesikhathi soke abe ababaze ngawe. 17Azakurhahlawula isililo ngawe abe athi kuwe:
“Maye ukurhayilwa kwakho,
wena onabahlali abasuka emalwandle,
wena olidorobho elidumileko,
onamandla phezu kwelwandle,
wena nabahlali bakho,
iye, abahlali bakho abalethe ivalo
ebantwini boke!
18Kodwana kwanje iinarha ezimagegana nelwandle
ziyathuthumela ngesikhathi sokuwa kwakho;
iye, iinhlengele zikakamele ngokunyamalala kwakho.”
19Nakhu okutjhiwo nguSomnini uSomandla: “Lokha nangikwenza idorobho lomonakalo, elinjengamadorobho anganazakhamuzi nalokha nangikugubuzesa ngamanzi ekuzikeni, iye amanzi amanengi akusibekele, 20nje-ke ngizakwehlisela kilabo abehlele emgodini wokufa, iye, ebantwini bakade. Ngizokwenza uhlale elizweni labangaphasi njengamarubhi wekadeni, iye, uzakuhlala nalabo abehlele emgodini wokufa ukuze ungasaba khona namkha ujame enarheni yabaphilako. 21Ngizokwenza into ethusako begodu angekhe ubuye ube khona. Nanyana sewufunwa, angekhe nini nanini usafunyanwa godu.” Kutjho uSomnini uSomandla.
