1Isiqalekiso esimayelana leDamaseko:
“Khangela iDamaseko kayisayikuba lidolobho
kodwa izakuba yinqumbi yamanxiwa.
2Amadolobho ase-Aroyeri azatshiywa,
etshiyelwa imihlambi ezalala phansi
kungekho ozayenza yesabe.
3Idolobho elivikelweyo lizanyamalala ko-Efrayimi
lamandla obukhosi eDamaseko;
insalela ka-Aramu izakuba
njengodumo lwabako-Israyeli,”
kutsho uThixo uSomandla.
4“Ngalolusuku udumo lukaJakhobe luzakwehla;
amafutha asemzimbeni wakhe azancipha.
5Kuzakuba njengalapho umvuni evuna amabele amiyo
evuna amabele ngengalo yakhe,
njenganxa umuntu edobha izikhwebu zamabele
eSigodini saseRefayi.
6Ikanti ezinye izikhwebu zizasala,
njengalapho isihlahla se-oliva sibhuliwe,
kusale ama-oliva amabili loba amathathu
ezingatsheni eziphezulu kakhulu,
amane loba amahlanu ezingabeni zezithelo,”
kutsho uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.
7Ngalolosuku abantu bazathembela kuMenzi
wabo amehlo abo aphendukele koNgcwele ka-Israyeli.
8Abayikuthembela ema-alithareni,
umsebenzi wezandla zabo,
njalo kabayikuzinanza izinsika zika-Ashera
lama-alithare empepha enziwa yiminwe yabo.
9Ngalolosuku amadolobho abo aqinileyo, abawatshiyayo ngenxa yama-Israyeli azafana lezindawo ezatshiyelwa izixukwana lezihlahlanyana. Konke kuzakuba yincithakalo.
10Selimkhohliwe uNkulunkulu uMsindisi wenu,
kalilikhumbulanga iDwala, inqaba yenu.
Ngakho lanxa ligxumeka izihlahla ezinhle,
lihlanyele lamavini avela ezizweni,
11lanxa lingawenza akhule ngelanga
elizawagxumeka ngalo,
loba liwenze ahlume
ngekuseni eliwahlanyele ngayo,
kodwa isivuno sizakuba yize
ngosuku lwesifo lobuhlungu obungelaphekiyo.
12Maye, ukuhlokoma kwezizwe ezinengi,
zihlokoma njengokuhlokoma kolwandle!
Yeka ukuxokozela kwezizwe,
zihuba njengokuhuba kwamanzi amanengi!
13Lanxa izizwe zihuba njengokugubhuza kwamanzi,
nxa ezikhuza zibalekela khatshana,
njengamakhoba ephetshulwa ngumoya emaqaqeni,
lanjengothuli olubangwa yisivunguzane.
14Kusihlwa kuba lokuthuthumela.
Kungakasi, kabasekho.
Lesi yiso isabelo salabo abasikhuthuzayo,
isabelo salabo abasihlaselayo.
