1IMaskili laka-Asafa.

Bantu bekhethu, lalelani ukufundisa kwami,

nibeke iindlebe zenu emezwini womlomami.

2Ngizakuvula umlomami ngomfanekiso,

ngiphuphume iimfihlakalo zekadeni.

3Izinto esizizwileko nesizaziko,

esatjelwa zona bobamkhulu,

4angeze sazifihla eenzukulwaneni zabo;

sizokutjela nesizukulwana esizako

ngemikarisomraro kaSomnini namandlakhe,

kanye neemangaliso azenzileko.

5Wajamisa ubufakazi kwaJakopo,

kobana bawufundise abantwababo,

6ukuze isizukulwana esilandelako siwazi,

iye, abantwana abasazakubelethwa.

Nabo basikime, batjele abantwababo

7kobana babeke ithemba labo kuZimu.

Kumele bangakhohlwa imisebenzi kaZimu,

kodwana balonde imiyalwakhe.

8Bangabi njengaboyisemkhulu

ebekusizukulwana esikhunyaleleko nesihlubukako;

iye, isizukulwana ebesinehliziyo enganaqiniso

nebesinommoya ongakathembeki kuZimu.

9Bakwa-Efrayimu bebahlome ngemisubi nemisubela,

nokho bahlehla ngelanga lepi.

10Akhange balonde isivumelwano sakaZimu

begodu bala ukwenza njengokweemfundiso zakhe.

11Iye, bakhohlwa lokho akwenzileko

neemangaliso ababonisa zona.

12Wenza iimangaliso phambi kwaboyisemkhulu

enarheni yeGibhide, emmangweni weTsowana.

13Wahlukanisa ilwandle, wabeyamisa,

wajamisa amanzi aba njengedonga.

14Emini wabarhola ngelifu,

ebusuku ngomkhanyo womlilo.

15Waqhekeza amadwala erhalawumbeni,

wabaseza amanzi inga abuya esizibeni esikhulu.

16Wathumbula iinkhukhula edwaleni,

wagelezisa amanzi ehla njengemilambo.

17Nanyana kunjalo, bathuwelela ngokona kuye,

bahlubuka ongoPhezulu ebhudwini.

18Bazizinya uZimu eenhliziyweni zabo

ngokubawa ukudla ngokukhaluza.

19Bakhuluma kumbi ngoZimu, bathi:

“UZimu angalungisa isithebe erhalawumbeni na?

20Wabetha idwala, kwaphuma amanzi

nemilanjana yagobhoza.

Kghani, angapha abantu bakhe ukudla,

abalungisele inyama na?”

21Lokha uSomnini nezwa lokho,

wabila khulu, waphuphuma,

wavutha umlilo ngoJakopo,

ilaka lakhe larubha ngo-Israyeli

22ngombana akhange bakholwe kuZimu

begodu azange bathembe amandla wesindiswakhe.

23Nje-ke wayala umkayi phezulu,

wavula iminyango yezulwini,

24wanisa imana phezu kwabo bona badle,

wabapha amabele wezulwini.

25Abantu badla isikwa seengilozi,

wabathumela umphako omnengi.

26Wavunguzisa ummoya wepumalanga ukusuka phezulu,

ngamandlakhe waphephethisa ummoya wangesewula.

27Wabehlisela inyama yaba yinengi njengethuli,

iinyoni eziphapha njengetjhwabatjhwaba yelwandle.

28Wazenza zidoyele ekabeni yekampakhe,

iye, ethaberinakelini lakhe zombelele.

29Badla bebasutha sentwala!

Wabapha ebebakukhanukela.

30Kodwana bathi basakhanuka inyama,

iye, isesemlonyenabo njalo,

31ubukhali bakaZimu babavukela.

Wabulala abazimukileko phakathi kwabo,

wadula phasi amasokana wakwa-Israyeli.

32Ngaphezu kwakho koke lokho

baragela phambili nokona;

akhange bazethembe iimangaliso zakhe.

33Yeke, waphelisa amalangabo njengomphefumulo

neminyakabo ekwesabeni.

34Lokha nasele ababulalako, bamfuna,

baphenduka bafunisisa uZimu.

35Bakhumbula bona uZimu ulidwala labo,

uZimu ongoPhezulu umhlengabo.

36Kodwana bamkhohlisa ngemilomabo,

baleya kuye amala ngamalimabo.

37Ihliziywabo akhange ibe neqiniso kuye

bebangakathembeki esivumelwaneni sakhe.

38Phezu kwalokho yena waba nomusa,

wacolela ubumenemene babo;

iye, akhange ababhubhise,

wazibamba kanengi elakeni lakhe,

azange aveze boke ubukhali bakhe.

39Wakhumbula ukuthi bayinyama nje,

bamumoya odlulako nongasabuyiko godu.

40Kwaba kanengi kangangani bamhlubuka erhalawumbeni,

iye, bamdanisa enarheni elibhudu.

41Bazizinya uZimu kanenginengi,

barhuga ongoCwengileko wakwa-Israyeli.

42Akhange bakhumbule amandlakhe

emalangeni abasindisa ngawo esitheni,

43lokha enza iimbonakaliso zakhe eGibhide

neemangaliso endaweni yeTsowana:

44Waphendula imilanjana yeNayili iingazi,

azange bakwazi ukusela emilanjenabo.

45Wabathumela ngeembawu ezabadlako

neenrhwarhwa ezabhubhisako.

46Wanikelela iintjalo zabo ngentethe,

iinthelo zomsebenzabo ngesikhonyani.

47Warhayila iindiribe zabo ngesinanja

namakhiwani wommango ngesikhukhula.

48Waphobolisa iinkomo zabo ngesinanja

nemihlambabo ngombani womphezulu.

49Wehlisela phakathi kwabo ilaka lakhe elivuthako:

ubukhali, itukuthelo namatshwenyeko;

iye, iwoma leenthunywa ezibhubhisako.

50Wavula indlela yelaka lakhe,

akhange abababalele bona bangafi,

kodwana wanikelela ipilwabo ngezifo.

51Warhayila woke amazibulo eGibhide,

iye, isithelo sokuthoma sobudoda ematendeni kaRhamu.

52Nje-ke wakhupha abantu bakhe njengezimvu,

wabarhola erhalawumbeni njengomhlambi.

53Wabelusa ngokuthula ukuze bangesabi

ngombana ilwandle labhibha izitha zabo.

54Wabaletha emkhawulwenakhe ocwengileko,

enarheni yeentaba ethunjwe sisidla sakhe.

55Waqotjha izizwe phambi kwabo;

wabahlukanisela inarhazo njengelifa labo,

wanzinzisa iinkoro zakwa-Israyeli eendaweni zazo.

56Nanyana kunjalo

bazizinya uZimu ongoPhezulu;

bamhlubuka ngokungalondi iimiso zakhe.

57Baba nokungathembeki,

bahlehla sinyava njengaboyisemkhulu.

Bahluleka njengomsebe ongazisiko.

58Bamtlhorholoja ngeendunduma zabo,

bamnyenyisa ngeenthombe-mbazwa zabo.

59Lokha uZimu nabona lokho,

wabila khulu waphuphuma,

walahla u-Israyeli ngokupheleleko.

60Watjhiya indawakhe ngeTjhilo

ekulitende ahlala kilo hlangana nabantu.

61Wanikela amandlakhe ekuthunjweni,

iye, igugu lakhe esandleni sesitha.

62Wanikelela abantu bakhe esabuleni,

wabila khulu ngelifa lakhe.

63Amasokanabo adliwa mlilo,

iintombi zabo azange zivunyelwe irhalani.

64Abaphristi babo bawa ngesabula;

abahlolokazi babo akhange balile.

65Nje-ke uSomandla wavuka inga uvuka ebuthongweni,

njengengorho ebeyihlulwe liwayini,

66wahlula izitha zakhe ngokuzidedisa,

wazithela ngeenhloni ezingapheliko.

67Walahla itende lakaJosefa,

akhange akhethe ikoro ka-Efrayimu.

68Kodwana wakhetha ikoro yakwaJuda

nentaba yeZiyoni ayithandako.

69Wakha indawakhe ecwengileko yaphakama

nanjengephasi wayijamisela iinsekelo isiphelani.

70Wakhetha uDavida incekwakhe,

wamsusa eembayeni zezimvu.

71Ekweluseni izimvukazi ezimunyisako,

wamthatha bona eluse abantu bakhe uJakopo

nelifa lakhe u-Israyeli.

72Wabelusa ngehliziyo eqotho,

wabarhola ngekghono lesandla sakhe.
