Ithabo lokubuya kwabathunjwa

1USomnini uthi: “Ngesikhatheso ngizakuba nguZimu emindeni yoke yakwa-Israyeli begodu izakuba babantu bami.”

2Nakhu okutjhiwo nguSomnini:

“Abantu abaphunyurhe esabuleni

bazakufumana umusa erhalawumbeni,

iye, u-Israyeli usendleleni

yokufumana ukuthula kwakhe.

3USomnini wazibonakalisa ku-Israyeli akude, wathi:

Ngikuthande ngethando lanini nanini,

ngalokho ngiragele phambili

ngokwethembeka kwami kuwe.

4Godu ngizakwakha, nje-ke uzakwakheka,

wena tlawu Israyeli!

Godu uzazikghabisa ngabosotjherere bakho,

uphume uyokugida nabathabileko.

5Godu uzakutjala iindiribe

eentabeni zeSamariya;

abatjali bazakutjala

bebabe ngebokuthoma ekugomeni iinthelo.

6Kuzakuba nelanga lapha abalindi

bazakurhuwelela khona

eentabeni zakwa-Efrayimu bathi,

‘Yizani sikhuphukeleni eZiyoni,

kuSomnini uZimethu.’ ”

7Mbala, nakhu okutjhiwo nguSomnini:

“Hlokomani ngethabo kuJakopo,

iye, nibethele umphathi wezizwe umkhulungwana,

memezelani, nidumise nithi,

‘Sindisa abantu bakho Somnini,

iye, imisalela yakwa-Israyeli.’

8Qalani, ngizobakhupha enarheni yetlhagwini,

ngibabuthe kusukela emajukujukwini wephasi,

phakathi kwabo kube neemphofu nabatlhulezako,

abanamasana nabanemirhelo,

kube siqubuthu esikhulu, babuyele ekhaya.

9Bazakuza balila, bathandaze.

Ngizabarhola, ngibase emilanjaneni enamanzi,

nendleleni elelezekileko ukuze bangakhutjwa;

Mbala, nginguyise ka-Israyeli,

iye, u-Efrayimu lizibulo lami.”

10Yizwani ilizwi lakaSomnini nina zizwe,

nilimemezele kude emagwini,

nithi: “Ohlakaze u-Israyeli

uzakubuya ambuthelele,

amlinde njengomelusi

olinda umhlambakhe.”

11Mbala, uSomnini uhlawulele uJakopo,

wamhlenga ezandleni ezinamandla kunaye.

12Bazakubuya bahlokome endundumeni yeZiyoni,

bawulukele ebuhleni bakaSomnini,

bathabele ikoroyi, iwayini namafutha we-oliva,

iimbuzana namakonyana.

Ipilwabo izakuba njengesivande esisezelweko,

angeze basaphodlheka godu.

13“Ngesikhatheso amatlawu azakujekezela agide,

amasokana nabadala bename ndawonye.

Ngizakuphendula isililo sabo sibe lithabo,

ngibaduduze, ngibaphe itokozo

ngaphezu kwesizi labo.

14Ngizakusuthisa abaphristi ngamanoni,

abantu bami baneliswe ngokuhle kwami.”

Kutjho uSomnini.

15Nakhu okutjhiwo nguSomnini:

“Ilizwi lizwakele eRama,

isililo nokurhahlawula okulisizi.

URarheli ulilela abantwabakhe,

akafuni ukutjhiriywa ngabo

ngombana abasekho.”

16Nakhu okutjhiwo nguSomnini:

“Yewuzibambe, ungalili,

bamba neenyembezi emehlwenakho

ngombana kunomvuzo ngesizi lakho,

wena Rarheli:

Abantwabakho bazakubuya

bavela enarheni yesitha.

17Iye, kunethemba ngengomuso lakho:

Bazakubuyela enarhenabo.”

Kutjho uSomnini.

18“Mbala, ngizwe u-Efrayimu azitlhuwela

athi, ‘Ungibethile, ngamukela isibetho

njengekunzana engakajayeli ukubotjhelwa.

Yewungibuyise, ngizakubuya

ngombana wena unguSomnini uZimami.

19Ngambala ngemva kokuphambuka kwami,

ngazisola;

ngemva kobana ngilemuke lokho,

ngathwala imikhono ehloko;

ngaba neenhloni, ngakhena,

iye, bengithwele ihlazo lobutjha bami.’

20U-Efrayimu yindodanami ethandekako kimi,

iye, umntwana othokozelwa nguyise:

Njengombana vane ngikhulume ngaye,

ngihlala ngimkhumbula.

Ngebanga lalokho ihliziywami

ibethela eduze ngaye.

Mbala, ngizakuba nesisa kuye.”

Kutjho uSomnini.

21“Zibekele amatshwayo wendlela,

uzenzele imihlahlandlela;

beka umkhumbulwakho endleleni ekulu,

okuyindlela okhambe ngayo.

Yewubuye wena tlawu Israyeli,

buyela emadorobhenakho la.

22Kuzabe kube nini ugida sikhundla sinye,

wena ndodakazi eqoqomako?

USomnini wenze into etja enarheni:

Umfazi uzakugida ngokuzombeleza indoda.”

23Nakhu okutjhiwo nguSomnini uMninimandlawoke, uZimu wakwa-Israyeli: “Godu bazakusebenzisa amezwi la enarheni yakwaJuda nemadorobheni wakhona lokha nangitjhugulula ubujamo babo:

“ ‘USomnini akubusise, wena buhlalo bokulunga;

iye, wena mbundu ocwengileko!’

24IZiyoni lizakuba likhaya lakaJuda,

okutjho woke amadorobhakhe ndawonye,

abalimi nabakhamba nemihlambi.

25Ngizakuphumuza abadiniweko,

ngithulise boke abaphodlhekileko.

26Kungalokho mina Somnini ngasikima,

ngayelela ubujamo.

Mbala, umnyakami ufikile.”

27USomnini uthi: “Qalani, isikhathi siyeza, lapha ngizakuzalisa khona inarha ka-Israyeli neyakaJuda ngabantu neenlwana.

28Njengombana ngiyelele ngabo kobana ngisiphule bengibhuruze, ngigirize, ngitjhabalalise bengehlise ihlekelele, ngokunjalo ngizakuyelela ngabo kobana ngakhe bengitjale.” Kutjho uSomnini.

29“Emihleni leyo abantu angeze basathi,

‘Abobaba bagome amadiribe angakavuthwa,

nje-ke amazinyo wabantwana ayatjhelela.’

30“Awa, woke umuntu uzakufela icala lakhe, nanyana ngubani ogoma amadiribe angakavuthwa, amazinywakhe azakutjhelela.”

31USomnini uthi: “Qalani, isikhathi siyeza lapha ngizakwenza khona isivumelwano esitjha nekumba ka-Israyeli kanye neyakaJuda.

32Asizukufana nesivumelwano engasenza naboyise nangibabamba ngesandla kobana ngibakhuphe eGibhide ngombana bona bephula isivumelwano sami, lokha mina nangimphathabo.” Kutjho uSomnini.

33“Mbala, nasi isivumelwano engizosenza nekumba ka-Israyeli ngemva kwesikhatheso: Ngizakubeka umthethwami emikhumbulwenabo bese ngiwutlola eenhliziyweni zabo. Ngizakuba nguZimabo, bona babe babantu bami.” Kutjho uSomnini.

34“Umuntu angeze asafundisa omunye womphakathi namkha umfowabo athi, ‘Yazi uSomnini’ ngombana boke bazabe bangazi, ukusukela komncani kibo ukuya komkhulu.” Kutjho uSomnini. “Mbala, ngizakucolela icala labo ngingasakhumbula izono zabo.”

35Nakhu okutjhiwo nguSomnini,

okunguye obeke ilanga

kobana likhanyise emini,

noyala inyezi neenkwekwezi

kobana ziphazime ebusuku,

yena oqubula ilwandle

ukuze amagagasalo abhodle,

obizwa ngoSomnini uMninimandlawoke

36uthi: “Nakube izinto engizinzinzisilekwezi

ziyanyamalala ebusweni bami,

khona-ke neenzukulwana zakwa-Israyeli

angeze zisaba sisizwe nini nanini

phambi kwami.”

37Iye, uSomnini uthi:

“Nange amazulu ngaphezulu angalinganiseka

neensekelo zephasi ngaphasi zihlolisiswe,

khona-ke nami ngizakulahla

iinzukulwana zakwa-Israyeli

ngebanga lakho koke ezikwenzileko.”

Kutjho uSomnini.

38USomnini uthi: “Qalani, isikhathi siyeza lapha idorobheli lizakuvuselelelwa uSomnini: ukusuka epundwini iRhananiyeli ukuya esangweni okuthiwa siKghudlhu,

39isinqophisamakho sizakunqomba thwi entatjaneni iGarebi bese sijikela eGowa,

40sibambe woke umrhoba, ukunaba kwawo, isikhisi kanye nemiqoqo, ukuya emrhobeni weKhidroni ngepumalanga, ukuyokufika ejikeni lesango iNjomani. Yoke indawo le izakuba ngecwengileko kuSomnini. Idorobho angeze belisasitjhulwa namkha ligirizwe godu nini nanini.”
