1Isiphorofido. Ilizwi lakaSomnini lijamelene no-Israyeli.
USomnini oqhisa amazulu,
akhe iinsekelo zephasi,
udale ummoya womuntu ngaphakathi kwakhe uthi:
2“IJerusalema ngizoyenza ikapho yesiyeziyezi yabo boke abantu abayizombelezileko. UJuda naye bazamfikela nabathumba iJerusalema.
3Mhlokho, lokha izizwe zoke zephasi nazihlanganyele iJerusalema, ngizakwenza idorobheli libe lidwala elibudisi kizo zoke izizwezi. Boke abalinga ukulisusa bazazikhubaza kwamambala.
4Mhlokho ngizakurhadla enye nenye injomani ngevalo bese ngirhadla nomkhwelayo ngobuhlanya.” Kutjho uSomnini. “Ngizakuthi nangisaphosa ilihlo phezu kwendlu kaJuda njalo, ngiphophaze zoke iinjomani zesizwe.
5Yeke abarholi bakwaJuda bazakuthi eenhliziyweni zabo, ‘Abantu beJerusalema bakakarele kuSomnini uMninimandlawoke uZimabo.’
6Mhlokho iinkoro zakwaJuda ngizazenza zifane nedengela lamalahle elidlhwinywe hlangana namaqobetjhana, zibe njengesihlothi esivuthako hlangana neentjherefu. Zizakuqothula ngapha nangapha zoke izizwe ezizizombelezileko, kodwana iJerusalema izakuhlala injalo endawenayo.”
7USomnini uzakusindisa abantu bakwaJuda qangi ukuze idumo lendlu kaDavida nabahlali beJerusalema lingadluli lakwaJuda.
8Mhlokho uSomnini uzakuvikela abantu beJerusalema, norholopheleko hlangana nabo uzakuba nesibindi njengoDavida, kuthi indlu kaDavida ibe njengeendalwa zezulu, iye ibe njengengilozi kaSomnini, irhole abantu beJerusalema.
Ukuzilela ohlatjweko9Lokha nangibuthela zoke izizwe ezizokusahlela eJerusalema bona ngizibhubhise,
10ngizakuthulula ummoya womusa newokurabhelela phezu kwendlu kaDavida nebantwini abahlala eJerusalema. Bazakufuna isizo kimi, balilele loyo ebamhlabako njengomuntu nalilela ukuhlongakala komntwana okukuphela kwakhe, njengomuntu odabuka abe munyu ngokuhlongakala kwezibulo.
11Mhlokho isililo eJerusalema sizakuba sikhulu, sizakuba ngathi kulilelwa uHadadi-Rimoni emrhuleni weMegido.
12Inarha yoke izakulila, ikoro ngekoro: ikoro yendlu kaDavida, ikoro yendlu kaNathani,
13ikoro yendlu kaLevi, ikoro kaTjhimeyi,
14nazo zoke iinkoro ezinye. Amadoda azakulila wodwa nabafazi balile bodwa.
