1Ilizwi lakaSomnini elafika kuZefaniya umsa kaKutjhi, omsa kaGedaliya, umsa ka-Amariya, omsa kaHezekhiya, nakusabusa uJosiya, umsa ka-Amoni ikosi yakwaJuda.

Umphorofidi umemezela ukurhayila okuzako

2“Ngizakurhurhula yoke into esebusweni bephasi.”

Kutjho uSomnini.

3“Ngizakurhayila kwasamuntu neembandana;

ngisizile iinyoni zezulu neenhlambi zelwandle.

Ngiketule iinkhohlakali

nangiphelisa abantu ebusweni bephasi.”

Kutjho uSomnini.

4“UJuda ngizombeka isandla

nazo zoke izakhamuzi zeJerusalema.

Ngizakuphelisa yoke imisalela yakaBhali endaweni le

namabizo wabaphristi ababalotjhi bakaBhali, angasakhunjulwa.

5Ngizakuphelisa labo abalotjha iinkwekwezi

phezu kwephahla lezindlu

nabaguqa phasi bafunge uSomnini

bajike godu bafunge uMilkomu.

6Ngizakuphelisa nabahlanuka uSomnini

bangasayifuna ngokungasabuzi kiyo.

7“Thula phambi kwakaSomnini uSomandla,

ngombana ilanga lakaSomnini litjhidele.

USomnini ulungise umhlabelo;

walungiselela labo abamemileko.”

8-9Ngelanga lomhlabelo lowo, uSomnini wathi:

“Ngizakubeka iinkhulu namakhosana umlandu,

nabo boke ababahlumisa ngenturhu nangekohliso.

Ngibeke umlandu nalabo abavunule iimvunulo ezitjhili

nabo boke abagegeda ukugadanga embunjwaneni womnyango.”

10USomnini uthi:

“Mhlokho kuzakuzwakala umkhosi

esangweni leHlambi,

kurhahlawulwe ngengcenyeni etja yeJerusalema,

kuzwakale ubugidigidi obukhulu ngemibundwini.

11Rhahlawulani nina enihlala emakethe,

ngombana boke abarhwebi bazokutjhabalaliswa

nabathengisi barhayilwe.

12“Ngesikhatheso ngizakubhenyegula iJerusalema

ngeenhlothi ezivuthako,

bengibeke umlandu labo abazigedlileko,

abazitjela bathi,

‘USomnini akenzi litho elimbi nanyana elihle.’

13Umnonwabo uzakuphangwa,

neenkumba zabo zigirizwe.

Bazakwakha iinkumba bangazihlali;

batjale iindiribe kodwana bangalirhamuli iwayini lakhona.”

14Ilanga elikhulu lakaSomnini litjhidele;

ngambala litjhidele begodu liza ngokurhabileko.

Ukuzwakala komkhosi wephasi welanga lakaSomnini

uzakuba munyu

nonesibindi uzakulila okutlhuwisako.

15Ilangelo lizakuba lilanga lelaka,

ilanga lamahlungu namatlhuwiso,

ilanga lokubhuruzwa nokurhayilwa,

ilanga lokufiphala nobumnyama,

ilanga lamafu anzima tshu.

16Kuzakuba lilanga lepalapala

nelokuhlaba umkhosi,

wokugasela amadorobho anemithangala

nemibhotjhongo yamajika.

17USomnini uthi:

“Ngizakuletha amatlhuwiso ebantwini,

yeke bazakubhaduzela njengabangaboniko.”

Ngebanga lokobana bonile kuSomnini,

ipilwabo izakuba njengeenzibi,

nemizimbabo ibe njengobulongwe.

18Isiliva negolidabo angeze yabasindisa

ngelanga lelaka lakaSomnini.

Inarha yoke izakuqothulwa ngomlilo wesikhwele sayo.

Ngambala uzakurhayila ngokwesabekako

boke abaphila enarheni.
