Livi lesembulo ngeGibhithe
1Livi lesembulo lelimacondzana nelive laseGibhithe:
Buka la, Simakadze ugibela
lifu leligijima kakhulu,
ubange kulaseGibhithe.
Tithico taseGibhithe tiyawutfutfumela embikwakhe,
netinhlitiyo tebantfu baseGibhithe
tiyancibilika ngekhatsi kwabo.
2“Ngitawuchukuluta umGibhithe avukele umGibhithe,
umnakabo uyakulwa nemnakabo,
makhelwane acabane namakhelwane,
lidolobha lihlasele lidolobha,
umbuso uvukele umbuso.
3EmaGibhithe ayawuphelelwa ngemandla;
emasu awo ngiyawuwacedza atsi nya.
Ayawuya etithicweni ayewuphengula,
aze ayewufuna labaphansi,
netangoma, nalababhulako.
4BaseGibhithe ngitabanikela
etandleni tenkhosi lenemandla nalenelulaka.
Bayawubuswa yinkhosi leyesabekako,”
kusho iNkhosi Simakadze lenguSomandla.
5Emanti emfula iNayili ayakusha ome,
nekujula kwemfula kuyawukoma;
yebo, kuyawusala kusebaleni.
6Imisele yemanti iyawunuka luvundze,
yebo, imifula yonkhe yaseGibhithe iyawubotja yome.
Umhlanga nelikhwane kuyawubuna,
7yebo, nayo yonkhe intfo lehlumako
eceleni kwemfula lomkhulu iNayili,
ekungeneleni kwawo elwandle.
Tonkhe tivandze letihlanyelwe ngasemfuleni iNayili
tiyawuhamuka tome, tingaphindzi tibonwe.
8Badwebi betinhlanti bayawukhala, balile,
bonkhe labajika emahhuka abo emfuleni iNayili,
labo labajika emanetha abo emantini,
yebo, bayawujabha baphelelwe ngemandla.
9Labo bafati labankwefa imitiya yelineni
bayawujabha,
bephotseli labeluka ilineni lemhlophe
bayawuphelelwa litsemba.
10EmaGibhithe latfungako ayawuphela emandla,
nabo bonkhe labahola ngelilanga
bayawudzabuka etinhlitiyweni.
11Tiphatsimandla taseSowani atisilo lutfo,
kuphela nje, titibhungayeti;
beluleki labahlakaniphile bakaFaro
beluleka ngeteluleko letingenangcondvo.
Ungasho kanjani kuFaro utsi:
“Ngingulomunye walabahlakaniphile,
intalo yemakhosi akadzeni”?
12Aphi nyalo emadvodza akho lahlakaniphile?
Akakukhombise, akwatise loko,
Nkulunkulu longuSomandla
lasahlose kukwenta ngeGibhithe.
13Tiphatsimandla taseSowani setitibhungayeti,
baholi baseMemfisi sebakhohlisiwe;
imisumphe yebantfu bakhona
seyedukise lonkhe live laseGibhithe.
14Simakadze sewutfululele kubo umoya wekudzidzeka;
benta iGibhithe iyendze
kuko konkhe leyikwentako,
iyendze njengesidzakwa emahlanteni aso.
15Kute lokungabe kusentiwa yiGibhithe,
inhloko nome umsila,
ligala lelisundvu nome umhlanga.
16Ngalelo langa baseGibhithe bayawuba njengebafati. Bayawutfutfumela ngenca yekwesaba ingalo yaSimakadze longuSomandla leyawube iphakanyiselwe kumelana nabo. 17Live lakaJuda liyawutsela kwesaba kubantfu baseGibhithe; bonkhe labayakuva nje kuphatfwa lelibito laJuda, bayakwetfuka, ngenca yaloko Simakadze longuSomandla losahlose kukwenta kubo.
18Ngalelo langa emadolobha lasihlanu aseGibhithe ayawukhuluma siHebheru, lulwimi lwaseKhenani, ente sifungo kuSimakadze longuSomandla. Lelinye lawo kuyawutsiwa liDolobha Lembhubhiso.
19Ngalelo langa kuyawuba nelilati laSimakadze ekhatsi eveni laseGibhithe, nensika lesikhumbuto saSimakadze eminyeleni yaseGibhithe. 20Kuyawuba tibonakaliso letikhumbuta ngaSimakadze longuSomandla eveni laseGibhithe. Nase bakhala kuSimakadze ngenca yebacindzeteli babo, uyawubatfumelela umsindzisi nemvikeli, yena loyawufike abephule. 21Ngako Simakadze uyakwenta kutsi emaGibhithe amati; ngalelo langa bayawumhlonipha Simakadze. Bayawumkhonta ngemihlatjelo nangeminikelo yalokutinhlavu, bayakwenta tetsembiso kuSimakadze, futsi bayawutigcina. 22Simakadze uyawushaya iGibhithe ngesifo lesibulalanako; uyawubashaya ngaso, aphindze abaphilise. Bayawuphendvukela kuSimakadze, naye uyawukuva kuncusa kwabo, bese uyabaphilisa.
23Ngalelo langa kuyawuba nemgwaco losuka eGibhithe uye e-Asiriya. Base-Asiriya bayakuya eGibhithe, nebaseGibhithe bayakuya e-Asiriya. Bantfu baseGibhithe nebase-Asiriya bayakukhonta ndzawonye. 24Ngalelo langa Israyeli uyawuba ngewesitsatfu kanye neGibhithe ne-Asiriya, kube sibusiso emhlabeni. 25Simakadze longuSomandla uyawubabusisa, atsi: “Ayibusiswe iGibhithe, sive sami, ne-Asiriya lengumsebenti wetandla tami, na-Israyeli lolifa lami.”
