1 Ke *uNdikhoyo woba nemfobe ngoYakobi, abuye azichongele uSirayeli. Uya kumbuyisela kumhlaba wakhe, neentlanga ke zosuka zithontelane khona, zizibandakanye nendlu kaYakobi.
2 Izizwe ziya kuwagodusa amaSirayeli, ziwabuyisele kwilizwe awalinikwa nguNdikhoyo; zona zoba zizicaka zamaSirayeli. Abathimbi bamaSirayeli bojika babe ngabathinjwa bawo, wona amaSirayeli alawule abo babefudula bewacinezela.
3 Mhla *uNdikhoyo wanipha umtyhi kwintlungu nehambo-nzima, nakumzabalazo wokusebenza nzima,
4 niya kuhlabela elempoxo ngokumkani waseBhabheli, nithi:Yaz'ba utshitshe njani na lo mcinezeli!Ewe, akukho nkang' idubul' ingethi.
5 UNdikhoyo uyivikivile intonga yezikhohlakali;yena uwaphule umsimbithi wezilawuli.
6 Nditsho lo ubuntlekez' abantu ngolunyakazi,obusitsho ngezithong' ezingaphelele ndawo,obutyakaty' izizwe ngengcwangu nengqumbo,owatsho ngentshutshiso engenabuyambo.
7 Ngok' ihlabathi lixhaml' ikhefu ngenzolo,suka ladanduluka ngeengoma nezibongo.
8 Kuvuya nditsho nemithi eLebhanon phaya;ewe, imipayini nemisedare iyakugcolodela.Ithi: “Tshotsh' uwe, kumkanindini,”kuba kaloku nomgawuli utsho wasweleka.
9 Ewe, nelabafileyo litsho lazama-zama,lilungiselela ukuhlangabeza wena.Noomoya babangasekhoyo baza kukukhahlela,nditsho abo babefudula beziikumkani zezizwekungokunje nabo bayavusw' ezililini.
10 Bonke bobhekisa kuwe, bathi:“Ingaba nguwe na lo selelutywantsi?Ingaba nguwe na lo ofana nathi?”
11 Ubunewu-newu bakho namhla bugqunyelelwe,ngokunjalo nengoma yezigingci ingcwatyiwe.Ngoku umandlalo wakho ziimpethu;kukalokunje ingubo yakho seyingamanundu.
12 Khawutsho! Ukhiqwe kanjani emazulwini?Kutheni, khwezi lomso elinguBhabheli?Wen' owawufudul' ugeq' izizwengoku uthe khalakahla bhalakaxa!
13 Kaloku wawuzithuthuzel' usithi:“Mna ndosuka ndintingel' ezulwini,ndibe ngaphaya kweenkwenkwezi zikaThixo,ndilimise khona ibhotwe lam,ndingqendeve kuloo ntaba yembizo,kwintlanganiso *yezithixo,emalanda-lahla kweliphezulu.”
14 Wawusithi: “Ndonyukela emajuku-jukwini,ndize ndizifanise noPhezukonke.”
15 Kambe ke usuke watshon' engcwabeni,weyela enzonzobileni yomhadi.
16 Abo bakubonayo ke ngoku bathe nqa!Ewe, babamb' ongezantsi, bathi:“Lo asinguye na owayedidizelis' ihlabathi,intw' ibiduma zirhwaqel' izikumkani;
17 intw' eyajij' ilizwe latsho labharha,eyabhukuq' izixeko zatsho zangamabobosi,emabanjw' angazang' akhululeka?”
18 Zonk' iikumkani zezizwe ziphumle ngesihomo;iyileyo ilele kwelayo ingcwaba.
19 Kambe ke wena uyindingan' engenangcwaba;wena uyinto esidumbu sibukulwayo.Ngoku sewambethe ababuleweyo abagwazwe ngekrele,abaphoswe emhadini ongxondorha.Ngoku sewuyinto yokuxovulwa ngeenyawo;
20 owakh' umngcwabo soz' ufane nowabo.Kaloku wena wabatshabalalisa wababhuqa;wababopha ngentamb' enye nabakho abantu.Intw' ekhohlakele nesizukulwana sayonegama layo soze libe nto!
21 Iwu-u-u!Lungiselela kugqityezelwe nenzala yakhe!Ngenxa yenkohlakalo yooyise mabangasindi,hleze bahlume, uze umvundl' uzek' indlela,hlez' eli lizwe lizale zizixeko zabo!
22 UNdikhoyo uSomandla-onke uthi:“Ndoyihlasela ndiyibhukuqe iBhabheli,ndiyicim' igama tu,kungabikho hlumelo nanzala.Nditshilo nje ke mna Ndikhoyo, nditshilo.
23 Ndakuyibetha itsho ibe yimigxobhozo, ibe likhaya lookhwalimanzi.Inene, ndiya kuyitshayela ngentshabalalo engathethekiyo!”
24 *UNdikhoyo uSomandla-onke ufunge wathi:“Konke endikucwangcisileyo kuza kwenzeka;ziza kufezeka zonke iinjongo zam.
25 Ndiza kuwavikiva ama-Asiriya kweli lizwe,ndiwanyhashe tu entabeni yam,idyokhwe yawo yahlukane nabantu bam,usuke umthwalo emagxeni abo.
26 Ezi ke ziinjongo zam mayela nehlabathi jikelele;ingalo yam ijinga phezu kwezizwe zonke.”
27 UNdikhoyo uSomandla-onke ezimisele nje ke,ngubani ongema ngaphambili?Xa eyolule ingalo yakhe,ngubani ongabuya amjike?
28 Nalu udaba olundilisekileyo olwavakala nyakana wasweleka ukumkani uAhazi:
29 Ke wena, Filistiya, yithi rhubaxa!Ewe, musa ukuzikhohlisa uthi:“Intonga ebendibethwa ngayo yaphukile,”kuba kwakuloo mnombo kosuka kuthi gqi irhamba;inzala yalo ke inobuhlungu kangako.
30 Aya kuhlutha amahlwempu abantu bam,abahlelelekileyo bahlale bekhuselekile,ke wena ndikugengqe ngendlala,kungasali nditsho nempunde le!
31 Hlahlambani, masango;bhombolozani, nina zixeko!Ewe, tatazela urhwaqele, wena Filistiya!Kuba nanko umsi uthuquza kweliphezulu;loo mkhosi ke awunalo ityutyusi!
32 Kodwa kodwa singaphendula sithini ukuthetha namakhankatha eso sizwe?Ewe, sowaphendula sithi:“UNdikhoyo uyimise wayimilisela iZiyon,ngoko ke zozimela kuyo iintsizana zakhe!”
