Ukuwa kweNineve

1Umtyholi uphumile ebusweni bakho; zigcineni izixhobo zenu, zigcineni iindlela, ziqiniseni izinqe zenu, nize womeleze amandla enu kangangoko.

2Ngokuba uYehova ulususile uzuko lukaYakobi njengobuqaqawuli bukaSirayeli;

3Ingweletshetshe yamagorha akhe ibomvu, amagorha anxibe iingubo ezibomvu;

4Iinqwelo zokulwa ziya kungena emabaleni, zime zithe tye, zajongana ezitratweni; usuke wanjengombane, wabaleka njengombane.

5Uya kuthetha izinto zakhe ezilungileyo; baya kukhubeka endleleni yabo; ziya kugxalathelana ukuya eludongeni lwakhe, ibe ilungile ingxonde yomkhosi wayo.

6Amasango emilambo aya kuvulwa, lichitheke ibhotwe.

7Yaye uHushabe uya kuthatyathelwa ekuthinjweni, yena uya kuphakanyiswa, nezalamane zakhe ziya kumsa ngaphambili njengesandi samahobe ahleli esifubeni sawo.

8Kodwa iNineve injengechibi elidala, kodwa yona iya kubaleka. Linda, linda, baya kulila; kodwa akukho bani uya kubheka ngasemva.

9Thabathani isilivere, nithinge igolide; kuba akukho kuphela ukubuthwa nokuhomba kweento zonke ezilungileyo.

10Ulambatha, udidekile, intliziyo iyanyibilika, amadolo akho ayabethana, nesinqe sakho sibuhlungu, ubuso babo bumnyama.

11Iphi na indawo yokuhlala yeengonyama nedlelo leengonyama, apho ingonyama, ewe, ingonyama entsha, nengonyama entsha, ihambile, kungekho bani ubothusayo?

12Ingonyama le iqwenga okwanele amathole ayo, iwuzele iingonyamakazi zayo, iwuzalise umzi wayo ngexhoba, nemiqolomba yayo ngamanqina.

13Yabona, ndinendawo ngawe, utsho uYehova wemikhosi; ndiya kuzitshisa iinqwelo zakhe zokulwa, umkhonto uzidle iingubo zakho; yaye ndiza kulisusa ixhoba lakho emhlabeni, nelizwi labathunywa bakho lingabi saviwa.
