1Isiphorofido. Ilizwi lakaSomnini lijamelene nenarha yeHadraki nedorobho leDamaseku.
Idorobho eliligugweli
neenkoro zoke zakwa-Israyeli ngezakaSomnini.
2IRhamathi esemkhawulweni weDamaseku,
iTirosi neTsidoni nazo zingezakaSomnini.
ITirosi ngambala inekghono:
3Izakhele irholo,
yazibuthelelela isiliva njengethuli
negolide njengebhudu leendledlana.
4Kodwana uSomandla uzayiqubula,
abhubhise iinthayamanzi zayo elwandle;
iqothulwe mlilo.
5I-Atjhikeloni izakubona lokho yesabe;
iGaza ihlengezele
ne-Ekroni iphelelwe lithemba.
Ikosi izakunyelela eGaza,
i-Atjhikeloni izakutjhiywa.
6USomnini wathi:
“Abaphalali bazakuphalala e-Atjhidodi
ngombana ngizaliphelisa igugu lamaFilista leli.
7Ngizabakhafulisa inyama eneengazi
nokudla okusilapheleko emilonyenabo.”
Iye, abantu be-Atjhidodi abazakusinda
nabo bazakuba ngebakaZimethu,
bazakufana nekoro kaJuda.
Abantu be-Ekroni bona bazakufana namaJebusi.
8Godu uSomnini wathi:
“Ngizakuvikela inarhami epini erhiribidelako.
Akusenamgandeleli ozazenzela ebantwini bami
ngombana ngizabe ngibelusile ngesikhatheso.”
Ikosi elindelweko9Jekezela khulu wena ndodakazi yeZiyoni!
Rhuwelela wena ndodakazi yeJerusalema!
Qala, ikosakho iza kuwe,
ilungile begodu iyahlula.
Ithobekile begodu ikhwele udumbana,
udumbana wamambala.
10USomnini wathi:
“Ngizakurhayila iinkarana zepi
neenjomani kwa-Efrayimu neJerusalema.
Imisebe yepi izakwephulwa;
ikosi leyo izakumemezela ukuthula ezizweni.
Umbuswayo uzakuthoma elwandle ukuya elwandle,
ukusuka emlanjeni iYufrathe ukuya emaphelelweni wephasi.
11Wena-ke Jerusalema,
ngebanga lamatshwenyeko wabantu
enginesivumelwano nabo,
ngizakutjhaphulula iimbotjhwa zakho
ezisemgodini otjhingako.”
12Buyelani erholweni, nina mbotjhwa
ngombana kunethemba!
Ngambala namhlanje uSomnini umemezela uthi:
“Wena Jerusalema,
ngizakunikela umvuzo obuyelelweko.
13Ngizakusebenzisa uJuda njengomsebe wami,
u-Efrayimu abe msubela.
Ngizakujokola ngamadodanakho, wena Ziyoni,
abe mkhontwami wokuhlaba abantu beGirisi.”
14USomnini uzakuvela ngehla kwabo,
umsubela wakhe uzakusubela njengombani;
uSomnini uSomandla uzakuvuthela ipalapala
eze ngesivunguvungu sangesewula.
15USomnini uMninimandlawoke uzabavikela,
bazakumadlha bebarhiribidele izitha zabo
ngamatje wesarwayi;
bazipitlize.
Bazakuzala iingazi
inga majika we-aldari lokha nakatlipilijiweko.
16Mhlokho uSomnini uZimabo uzabasindisa
ngombana bamhlambi wakhe.
Ngambala bazakuphazima enarhenakhe
njengamatje aligugu asesihlohlweni.
17Maye bazakuba bahle
bebakarise kangangani!
Amabele nesitjhidela sewayini
kuzakwenza amasokana neentombi
zibethe esimonyongwana.
