1Ilizwi lakaSomnini elafika kuHosiya umsa kaBheri, ngeenkhathi zokubusa kwaka-Uziya, uJotamu, u-Arhazi noHezekhiya amakhosi wakwaJuda nangeenkhathi zokubusa kwakaJerobhowamu umsa kaJowatjhi ikosi yakwa-Israyeli.
2Isingeniso samezwi akhulunywa nguSomnini ngoHosiya.
Ukwaliwa kwabarholi bakwa-IsrayeliUSomnini wathi kuHosiya:
“Khamba uyokuthatha umfazi oyingwadla
nabantwana bokonakala
ngombana inarha itjhiye mina Somnini yayokungwadla.”
3Waya-ke umphorofidi wafese wathatha uGomere, indodakazi kaDibilayimu; wazithwala wambelethela umntwana womsana.
4Yeke uSomnini wathi kuHosiya:
“Mthiye bona nguJizriyela
ngombana msinyana ngizakuhlunguphaza indlu kaJehu
ngebanga lokuphalaka kweengazi eJizriyela,
bengiphelise ubukhosi bendlu yakwa-Israyeli.
5Kuzakuthi mhlokho ngephule umkhonto ka-Israyeli
ngemrhobeni weJizriyela.”
6UGomere wazithwala godu, wabeletha indodakazi. USomnini wathi kuHosiya:
“Mthiye bona nguLo-Rurhama
ngombana angeze ngisarhawukela indlu ka-Israyeli ngokuyithethelela.
7Nakuyindlu kaJuda ngizayirhawukela; ngiyisindise.
Ngingayisindisi ngeenhlabano, ngepi
nanyana ngeenjomani nabakhweli bazo,
kodwana ngiyisindise ngokwami mina Somnini uZimayo.”
8UGomere selakhumule uLo-Rurhama ebeleni, wazithwala godu wabeletha umsana.
9USomnini wathi kuHosiya:
“Mthiye bona nguLo-Ami
ngombana anisese babantu bami,
nami angisenasivumelwano nani.”
Iinthembiso zakaSomnini zisese njengokuba kuma-Israyeli10Nokho isibalo sama-Israyeli
sizakufana nehlabathi yelwandle engalinganisekiko nengabalekiko.
Esikhundleni sokobana kuthiwe
“Anisese babantu bami”,
sele kuzakuthiwa
“nibantwana bakaZimu ophilako”.
11Abantu bakwaJuda nebakwa-Israyeli bazakuhlanganiswa,
bakhethe umrholi munye bebathumbe inarha.
Ngambala lizaba likhulu ilanga leJizriyela.
