1 Kwaza kwanyembeleka, Samariya echophe phezu kwentili echumayo,ntshingandini iliqhayiya kwiinkokheli eziyantazayo zakwaEfrayim;dumasindini elitshitsha njengentyatyambo,bhongondini lamanxila!
2 INkosi inengwanyalala eseyichophel' ukuhlasela.Sisitshu esofika ngathi sisiphango;yintw' engathi sisandyondyo semvula;ilizwe labo ngathi lisityekelwa ngunogumbe.
3 Woyiphosa phantsi emhlabeni!Loo ntshinga yeenkokheli ezinxilayo zaseSamariyayonyathelwa ixotyongwe ngeenyawo.
4 Loo ntyatyambo itshitshayo, ichophe phezu kwentili echumayo,yoba ngathi lulibo lwamakhiwane,lona luthi lungavela luqhawulwe lutyiwe.
5 Ikho kamb' imini ezayo;*uNdikhoyo uSomandla-onke woba ngathi yintshinga,isiqhwaqhwalala sembasa yeentyatyambo;uya kuba njalo kwelo qaqobana lisindileyo.
6 Ke bona abo bachophel' ukugwebawobathi jize ngomoya wokwazelelela;abayi kusilela noolindikhaya emasangweni –wobakhuthaza abaphe ukomelela.
7 Nababingeleli ngokwabo bayanxila,nabashumayeli bayagxadazela butywala.Utywala babusela bade bahexe;ungafika beyotywe bade badideka.Abashumayeli bathwangeke bancitheka,nkqi ukuluqiqa udaba lukaThixo;nababingeleli bayashwantshatha butywala,abanako ukuyicalula imicimbi.
8 Iitafile – mh-mh-mh, zibondekile!Zitsho zangamanangalala bobubuyayo;kurhiphilili, akukho nendawo!
9 Kodwa bakhalaza bathi:“Ngubani ongafundiswa nguye?Ntshumayeloni yona leyo?Suka! Ifanel' iintsana, yini le!Ilingen' abakhov' ukulunyulwa!
10 Khanimbone ukuzimisela kwakhe!Khanimve epitiliza ubugoci-goci;yenjenje, yenjenjeya,nci-nci-nci-nci, yonk' inanana!”
11 Ngoko ke uThixo wonithumel' iintlanga,isizw' esilwimi lungaziwayo;ngaso woninik' isifundo.
12 Ngani nina aba kanye wathi:“Yiyo le intuthuzelo nokuphumla kwenu;le yindawo yokuphumla!”Suka ke nina anamhoya.
13 Ngenxa yoko ke yena *uNdikhoyowosuka abe yinto nani;uza kunifundisa bonke ubugoci-goci,anithi nca ngabo ubucukubhede.Wonithi mbende ngenkcukacha nenanana!Ngoko ke nosuka nithi thwanga,noba ngasus' unyawo nikhubeke;nosuka nenzakale ningxwelerheke;norhintyelek' emigibeni nithinjwe.
14 Iinzwi, ke nina bagxeki,nditsho nina balawul' eJerusalem!Yivani; uyatheth' *uNdikhoyo.
15 Kaloku nina niqhayisa ngokuthi:“Thina senze umnqophiso nokufa;sinesivumelwano nalo elabafileyo.”Suka nazikhohlisa ke nisithi:“Nangomhla wesithwakumbe ke thina sothubeleza;thina kaloku siqamela ngokuxoka,inkohliso nobuxoki yinqaba yethu.”
16 INkosi enguNdikhoyo ke yona ithi:“EZiyon ndibeka isiseko esingagungqiyo;kuso ndifak' inyengane ekhethiweyoentsingiselo ithi ozinikezeleyo akasayi kukhukhuliseka.
17 Umthetho ndowenza umtya wokulungelelanisa,ubulungisa bube yintambo yokundindanisa.Ubuxoki benu botshayelwa sisichotho,iimpuphuma ziyikhukulise inqaba yenu.
18 Umnqophiso wenu nokufa uya kutshitsha,nesivumelwano nelabafileyo sonqamka.Ekugalelekeni kwaso isithwakumbesona siya kunibetha sinongamele.
19 Isithwakumbe sobetha sinikhukhulise;kobe ngasa ibe siso nani.Soba ngunonca imini nobusuku.”Ukuchazwa kolu daba kuya kunirhwaqelisa.
20 Wozaliseka ke nomzekeliso othi:“Akukho kunaba – umandlalo mfutshane;kanti nengubo libhayi – ayambathisi.”
21 Kuba uNdikhoyo uya kulwa njengamhla mnene,nditsho apho kwintaba iPerazim.Koba ngathi kukwintili yaseGibhiyon;woba ufezekisa umsebenzi ongalindelekanga,ephumeza oko kuhlasimlisayo.
22 Ngoko ke, khawuthi cwaka, mgxeki,hleze akusinde amakhamandela akho;kuba sivakele kum isandi sentshabalalo,isaziso esimiselwe lonke ilizwe,siphuma kuMhlekazi uNdikhoyo onamandla onke.
23 Inzwi; yivani, maSirayeli!Khanibek' iindlebe, ndiyathetha!
24 Mlimi wuphi olim' intw' engenasiphelo?Mlimi waphi ogelesha njalo?Hayi bo! Ngunotshe lowo!
25 Yena uyalima ade agqibe;egqibile ke uhlwayela idile noba yikumin,mhlawumbi atyale noba yingqolowa;kungenjalo ke ahlwayele ihabile,zonke ke ngeendawo zazo.
26 Kanene akaqeqeshwanga na nguThixo wakhe?Ewe, uwufundisiwe lo msebenzi.
27 Obhula idile akasebenzisi sileyi,engayibhuli nanganqwelo ikumin.Hayi, idile uyibhula ngesibhulo,ikumin ayibethe ngomchiza.
28 Andithi iyasilwa na ingqolowa?Hayi kaloku, akayibhuli okokoko,engayicoli nditsho nangenqwelo,kanti ke namahashe akayigrayi.
29 Obo bulumko ke buvela *kuNdikhoyo uSomandla-onke;kaloku yena yintshatsheli ngamacebo,ngenene yena ubalasele ngobulumko.
