1 Kwafika kum amadoda akumadoda amakhulu akwaSirayeli, ahlala phantsi phambi kwam.
2 Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
3 Nyana womntu, la madoda anyusé izigogo zawo ezintliziyweni zawo, amisa isikhubekiso sokuba abe gwenxa phambi kobuso bawo; ndingàquqelwa ndiquqelwe ngawo na?
4 Ngako oko thetha nawo, uthi kuwo, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Elowo nalowo wasendlwini kaSirayeli, othe wanyusa izigodo zakhe entliziyweni yakhe, wamisa isikhubekiso sokuba abe gwenxa phambi kobuso bakhe, weza kubaprofeti: mna Yehova ndoba ngomphendulayo ngokwam, ngokobuninzi bezigodo zakhe;
5 ukuze ndiyixhakamfule indlu kaSirayeli ngentliziyo yabo, ekubeni beshenxile kum bonke bephela ngezigodo zabo.
6 Ngako oko yithi kwindlu kaSirayeli, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Buyani nizibuyise ezigodweni zenu, nibubuyise ubuso benu kumasikizi enu onke.
