Umbono wesine
1Nakhu engakuboniswa nguSomnini uSomandla: Ngabona isiqwebu sizele iinthelo ezivuthiweko. 2USomnini wangibuza wathi: “Amosi, ubonani na?” Ngaphendula ngathi: “Ngibona isiqwebu seenthelo ezivuthiweko.”
USomnini wathi kimi: “Isikhathi sokubabalela isizwe sami u-Israyeli siphelile, angekhe ngisabababalela. 3Mhlokho iingoma ezibhinwa ngethempeleni zizakuphenduka isililo. Kuzakusabalala iindumbu yoke indawo. Kuzakuthi nghwayi!”
U-Israyeli ulindelwe ziinkinga ezikulu
4Lalelani lapha,
nina eniqaqada phezu kwabatlhogako,
nirhayile abantu abakhwahlileko benarha le,
5nibe nisithi:
“Kazi umnyanya ocwengileko
wokuthwasa kwenyanga lowo uyokudlula nini,
ukuze sikghone ukuthengisa amabele!
ISabatha lona liyokuphela nini?
Sele sifuna ukuthengisa ikoroyi thina!”
Nitjho njalo kwabe ninciphisa iinlinganiso,
nikhuphula amanani
benidlelezele ngokusebenzisa iinlinganiso ngokukhohlakeleko.
6Nithenga abadududu ngesiliva
nabatlhogako ngepara yamapatlagwana.
Nithengisa ngitjho namasalela wekoroyi eniyithanyeleko.
7USomnini ufunge ngeDumo lakaJakopo wathi:
“Nanyana yini abayenzileko angeze ngayikhohlwa.
8Inarha ayizukusikinyeka ngebangeli na,
abantu abahlala khona bazile ngomzana?
Inarha yoke izakuphuphuma njengomlambo iNayili;
izakuzamaziswa, ibohle njengomlambo weGibhide.”
9USomnini uSomandla wathi:
“Mhlokho ngizakwenza ilanga
bona litjhinge emini,
bese ephasini kuba mnyama,
emini kwa bha.
10Ngizaphendula imigidi yenu yekolo ibe sizilo
nokubhina kwenu koke kube sililo.
Ngizanembathisa iinzilo noke nje
nirhune iinhloko zenu.
Isikhatheso ngizasenza
kube ngathi ngesokulilela indodana
ebelethwe iyodwa ngakwabo,
bese ukuphela kwalo kube munyu.”
11USomnini uSomandla wathi:
“Isikhathi siyeza lapha
ngizakuthumela khona indlala enarheni:
kungabi yindlala yokugoma namkha yokomela amanzi,
kodwana kube yindlala yokuzwa amezwi kaSomnini.
12Abantu bazokuyerayera
kusukela elwandle bekube selwandle,
bayemayeme kusukela etlhagwini bekube sepumalanga,
babhenyegula ilizwi lakaSomnini,
kodwana abazolifumana.
13“Mhlokho kuzakuphuma imidzidlha emihle
neentsitsirimba zakhona,
zigelagele bezitsirimezeke ngebanga lomrhawu.
14Labo abafunga ngabosingazimu beSamariya
nanyana bathi, ‘Ngozimakho uDani, ngiqinisile ngithi,’
nanyana bathi, ‘Ngozimu weBheritjheba, ngiqinisile ngithi,’
abantwabo bazokuduleka phasi,
ngiqinisile ngithi angekhe basavuka.”
