1 Nalu udaba olindilisekileyo,nditsho ilizwi *likaNdikhoyoelichasene nelizwe laseHadraki.Lona luya kuyifikela iDamasko,kuba kaloku amehlo kaNdikhoyo akuluntu lonke,nkqu nazo zonke izizwe zikaSirayeli.
2 Luza kuyifikela iHamati esemideni,lutsho kwiTire neSidon,nangona zilumkile kakhulu.
3 ITire yona izakhele inqaba.Isiliva iyifumbe ngathi luthuli,igolide ngathi yinkunkuma yesitalato.
4 UNdikhoyo uza kuyohlutha yonke into enayo,awaphelise amandla enawo elwandle.Yosuka ilenywe ngumlilo.
5 IAshkelon yobona inkwantye,iGaza izibhija-bhije ikhwina ziintlungu.Nethemba le-Ekron ngokwayo lovuthuluka.IGaza yona yophulukwa yikumkani yayo,iAshkelon itsho ilil' ibhungane.
6 IAshdode yomiwa yimigqakhwe;ndolinqamla ikratshi lamaFilistiya.
7 Ndiya kuyihlutha inyama enegazi emilonyeni yabo,ndiyikhuphe phakathi kwamazinyo abo inyama engumnikelo kwizithixo.Amasalela abo oba ngakaThixo wethu,abe ngathi yenye yezindlu zikaJuda,iEkron yona ifane namaJebhusi.
8 Ndoyikhusela indlu yam kumkhosi oyayo nobuyayo,kungabi sabakho mbandezeli odlula phakathi kwabo.Kaloku bajongwe ndim ngoku.
9 Vuya ngenene, ntombindini inguZiyon!Danduluka, wena ntombi inguJerusalem!Khangela, ukumkani wakho uza kuwe enobulungisa, engumoyisi,ethobekile, ekhwele idonki,nditsho ithole, inkonyane yedonki.
10 Ndiya kuzohlutha iinqwelo zokulwa kwaEfrayim,namahashe emfazwe eJerusalem,ke lona utolo lwemfazwe ndiluvikive.Ukumkani wovakalis' uxolo ezizweni,ulawulo lwakhe loziqhakamishel' iilwandle;luya kusuka kumlambo iEfrati,luye kuthi xhaxhe ngeziphelo zehlabathi.
11 Ke nina okunokwenungenxa yegazi lomnqophisondobakhulula abantu bakowenu abangamabanjwa,baphume emhadini ongenamanzi.
12 Buyelani kuyo inqaba, nina mabanjwa anikwe ithemba.Namhlanje ndiyanazisa:ndonibuyisela ngokuphindiweyo.
13 Kuba uJuda ndimbhetya okwesaphetha,uEfrayim yena abe litolo lam.Ndophekuza ngoonyana bakho, Ziyon,babe njengekrele legorha,ndibalekuze oonyana bakho, lizwe lamaGrike.
14 UNdikhoyo uya kuvela phezu kwabo,utolo lwakhe lumenyeze njengombane,itsho ngexilongo iNkosi uNdikhoyo,ingqishe okwezaqhwithe zasezantsi.
15 UNdikhoyo onamandla onke wobakhusela,batsho bazitshabalalise iintshaba zabo ngamatye *eenkwitshi,benze intswahla okwabasele iwayini.Boba yinyhididi ligazi lotshaba,bafane nezitya ezizele ligazi ledini,nqwa neekona zeqonga lamadini mhla ngomnikelo.
16 Ngaloo mini ke uNdikhoyo uThixo wabo wobasindisa.Kaloku bona baba ngabantu abangumhlambi wakhe.Bobengezela elizweni lakheoku kwamatye exabiso ahombisa isithsaba.
17 Hayi ukuba nomtsalane nokuba kuhle kwelo lizwe!Ingqolowa yobatsho babe nenkqubela abafana,namagqiyazana abe njalo yiwayini entsha!
