UMIKHA 2 - IsiNdebele 2012 Translation

Ukugwetjwa kwabathelisi

1Bazazizwa labo abatlama ikohlakalo ebusuku,

iye, abogalajanaba!

Kuthi ekuseni bayenze ngombana kusemandlenabo.

2Nabakhanuka amasimu bayawahluthula,

nabarhalela izindlu, bayazithatha.

Bagalaja isakhamuzi umzaso,

basidlelezele ilifa laso.

3Yeke uSomnini wathi:

“Qala, nginitlamela ikohlakalo

nina sigungu ndina.

Kuzakuphela ukukhambela phezulu

ngombana nizabe nibotjhelelwe ejogini isiphelani.

Ngambala kuzabe kusikhathi esimasikizi kini.”

4Mhlokho, abantu bazaniphoqa,

babhine ingoma yesililo ngani bathi:

“Siyavuma, sirhurhutjhiwe!

USomnini uhlukanisa ilifa labantu bekhethu.

Maye, ulihluthule kangangani kithi!

Wabela abadududu inarhethu.”

5Yeke anizukuba nomjameli phambi kwakaSomnini

nakwabiwa inarhenu ngefumbe.

Abathelisi baphikisa uMikha nabantu bakhe

6“Ningaphikeleli ukuphorofida.

Aninalungelo lokuphorofida njalo,

isiphoqweso asizukusehlela;

7ngombana uSomnini uthembise indlu kaJakopo;

uMoya wakaSomnini uyabekezela;

uSomnini akenzi izinto ezinjalo.”

UMikha uyaphendula

Awa, amezwami amenzela okuhle olungileko.

8Kodwana nina nibe sisitha sabantu bekhethu

najamelana nabathanda ukuthula.

Niwunawune abantu abazidlulela ngendlela

abangananturhu namuntu

benabahlubulisa, nathatha izambatho zabo.

9Niqotjha abafazi babantu bekhethu

ezindlini abazithandako;

nithathela abantwababo isabelo

benibatlhagise isiphelani.

10Zilungiseleleni ukukhamba

ngombana akusiyo indawenu yokuphumula le.

Ukusilaphala kwenu kuyonile.

Maye kubuhlungu kangangani ukonakala kwayo!

11Nami bengingaphorofida kini

ngewayini nangotjwala obunengi;

kodwana umuntu kaMoya akaleyi amala.

Nokho isigungu sabaphorofidi benwesi sithi:

12“USomnini wathi:

‘Ngambala ngizababuthelela ndawonye

boke abantu bakaJakopo,

iinzukulwana zaka-Israyeli.

Ngibaragele esibayeni njengezimvu,

iye, njengeenkomo emrageni;

babe liwoma bahumuzele.’ ”

13Begodu bathi:

“Loyo oliVulandlela uzabarhola.

Bazakufahla baphume esangweni;

batjhaphuluke.

Ikosabo izabakhomba indlela,

ibe yihlokwabo.”
