UMIKHA 1

₂Yizwani noke nina bantu!

Lalela nawe phasi nabo boke abakuwe

ngombana uSomnini uMninimandlawoke uzanithwesa umlandu;

iye, uMninimandlawoke asethempelini lakhe elicwengileko.

₃Yelelani! USomnini uyeza,

uvela esigodlweni sakhe,

uyehla uzokuthumba iphasi.

₄Iintaba zincibilika ngaphasi kwakhe

njengamafutha nezwa umlilo;

kuphadlhuka ilwandle ekuzikeni,

kuvele isiwamanzi.

₅Koke lokhu kubangelwa mitjhapho kaJakopo,

kubangwa zizono zekumba ka-Israyeli.

Kungaba ngubani-ke otjhaphisa uJakopo

nakungasiyo iSamariya?

Iinduli zakaJuda zingaba ngubani

nakungasiyo iJerusalema?

₆USomnini wathi:

“Yeke ngizakwenza iSamariya ibe liqubi,

ngisunduzele amatje emirhobeni,

ngivumbulule iinsekelo zayo,

ngiyenze umrhula nendawo yokutjala isidiribe.

₇Zoke iinthombe ezibaziweko zakhona

zizakuphahlazwa;

zoke izipho zethempeli lakhona

zitjhiswe ngomlilo.

Ngizokutjhabalalisa boke abosingazimu bayo.

Njengombana izuze izipho zethempeli layo

ngobungwadla,

bazazithatha bangwadle ngazo phambili.”

₈UMikha wathi:

Ngebangeli ngizakuzila ngilile,

ngiphatjhume ngeenzilo.

Iye, ngizakulila njengeempungutjha,

ngibubule njengeenciliba.

₉Ngambala, iSamariya ayizokusinda

encebeni elimbeli;

nakuJuda kuzakuba njalo.

Ubuhlungu balo buzakufika eJerusalema,

iye, esangweni labantu bekhethu.

₁₀Ningayidembi indaba le eGadi,

nayikulila ningeze benilile.

EBhethe-Le-Afra bazibhudabhuda ebhudwini.

₁₁Abantu beTjhafira banibethela ipalapala

nina bantu beJerusalema.

Abantu beTsanana abaphumeli etjhatjhalazini.

IBhethe-Ha-Etseli angeze yakusiza Jerusalema

ngombana nayo iyalila.

₁₂Iye, abantu beMarothi batlhuwile,

basesizini elikhulu.

Ngambala, uSomnini ubehlisele amatlhuwiso la

abe ayokufika ngitjho nemasangweni weJerusalema.

₁₃Nina bantu beLarhitjhi

bophelani iinjomani eenkaraneni.

Ngini enisisusa sokona kwendodakazi yeZiyoni

ngombana nemitjhapho ka-Israyeli ifunyenwe

phakathi kwenu.

₁₄Nina bantu beLarhitjhi

hlobokani iMoretjheti-Gathi.

Umuzi we-Akziba awuzukuba nobubhadekelo

emakhosini wakwa-Israyeli.

₁₅Godu ngizaninikelela ngezitha

nina bantu beMaretjha.

Olithemba laka-Israyeli uzazifihla e-Adulama.

₁₆Gudani iinhloko zenu

nina bantu beLarhitjhi;

niziphale zibe butjhelelezi njengedlanga,

nizilele imizana eniyithandako enibhodileko

ngombana izakuthunjwa.
