Iziprofeto zokuchasa uSirayeli noYuda
1Ilizwi likaYehova elafika kuMika waseMoreshete, ngemihla kaYotam, ka-Ahazi, kaHezekiya, ookumkani bakwaYuda, awalibonayo ngokusingisele kwelakwaSamari neYerusalem.
2Yivani nonke, zizwe niphela; bazani indlebe, hlabathi nenzaliseko yalo; mayibe lingqina iNkosi uYehova ngani, iNkosi etempileni yayo engcwele. 3Kuba nanko uYehova ephuma endaweni yakhe, eya kuhla, anyathele phezu kwemimango yehlabathi. 4Ziya kunyibilika iintaba phantsi kwakhe, zicandeke izihlambo, njengomthwebeba phambi komlilo, njengamanzi ephalazwé exandekeni.
5Konke oko kungesikreqo sakwaYakobi, kungesono sendlu kaSirayeli. Ngubani na obange isikreqo sakwaYakobi? AsingowakwaSamari na? Ngubani na obange izigánga zakwaYuda? AsingowaseYerusalem na? 6Ngoko ke ndolenza elakwaSamari libe yimfumba yamatye esisimi, libe ziindawo zokutyala imidiliya; ndiwaphose amatye alo emfuleni, ndizityhile iziseko zalo. 7Iya kuqotywa yonke imifanekiso yalo eqingqiweyo, lutshiswe ngomlilo lonke utsheqo lwalo, ndizichithe zonke izithixo zalo; ngokuba lizibuthe ngotsheqo lwehenyukazi, ziya kubuya ke zibe lutsheqo lwehenyukazi.
8Ngoko ke ndiya kumbambazela, ndibhomboloze; ndiya kuhamba ndíbhunyulwe, ndíshiywe ndizé; ndiya kukhala njengempungutye, ndilile njengenciniba. 9Kuba amanxeba alo akanakunyangwa; ngokuba kude kwafika nakwaYuda, kwada kwafika esangweni labantu bam eYerusalem.
Isililo ngokuwa kukaSirayeli
10Musani ukukuxela eGati, musani ukulila nokulila; eBhetele-afra ndizigaléle ngothuli. 11Dlulani, bemi baseShafire, nihambe zé ngokulihlazo; abemi baseTsanan abaphumanga; umbambazelo lwaseBhete-etsele lunihlutha ukuma kwenu kuyo. 12Kuba abemi baseMaroti bazibhijabhija ngenxa yokulungileyo; kuba kuhlé ububi buphuma kuYehova, beza esangweni leYerusalem. 13Bophani iimbaleki ezinqwelweni zokulwa, bemi baseLakishe; ibikukuqala kwesono entombini enguZiyon, ukuthi zifunyanwe kuyo izikreqo zakwaSirayeli. 14Ngako oko ùya kuyinika iMoreshete yaseGati inqakwe; izindlu zaseAkezibhi ziya kuba ngumlambo okhohlisayo kookumkani bakwaSirayeli. 15Ndisaya kuyizisa indlalifa kuni, bemi baseMaresha; baya kufika eAdulam abazukileyo bakwaSirayeli. Chebani, niziguye iintloko, ngenxa yoonyana beziyolo zenu; 16kwenzeni banzi ukucheba kwenu, njengexhalanga; kuba bathinjiwe kuwe.
