1Maye kwabaphumula eSiyoni nabethemba intaba yaseSamariya ebizwa ngokuthi inhloko yezizwe indlu ka-Israyeli eya kuzo!
2Hambani niye eKaline, nibone; nisuke lapho, niye eHamati elikhulu; bese wehlela eGati lamaFilisti. Ingabe ingcono kunale mibuso? noma umngcele wabo mkhulu kunomngcele wakho?
3Nina enidedisela kude usuku lobubi, nisondela esihlalweni sobudlova;
4elala emibhedeni yophondo lwendlovu, yelula emibhedeni yayo, idle amawundlu ezimvu namathole esibayeni;
5abahlabelela ngokuzwakala kweviolin, baziqambela izinsimbi zokubethwa njengoDavide;
6abaphuza iwayini ezitsheni, bazigcobe ngamafutha amakhulu, kepha abadabuki ngokuhlupheka kukaJosefa.
7Ngakho-ke bayakuthunjwa kanye nabathunjwa bokuqala, futhi ukudla kwabazelulelayo kuzosuswa.
8INkosi uJehova izifungile, isho iNkosi uJehova Sebawoti, ithi: “Ngiyakwenyanya ukuzidla kukaJakobe, ngiyazonda izindlu zakhe zamakhosi; ngalokho ngiyakuwunikela umuzi nakho konke okukuwo.
9Uma kusala amadoda ayishumi endlini eyodwa, azokufa.

11Ngokuba bheka, uJehova uyayala, futhi uyakuyishaya indlu enkulu ibe yimifantu, nendlu encane ibe yimifantu.
12Amahhashi agijima edwaleni na? Umuntu angalima lapho ngezinkabi na? ngokuba niphendule ukwahlulela kube yinyongo, nesithelo sokulunga sibe ngumhlambi.
13Nina enithokoza ngento eyize, enithi: Asizithathelanga izimpondo amandla ethu na?
14Kepha bhekani, ngiyakunivusela isizwe nina ndlu ka-Israyeli,” usho uJehova uNkulunkulu Sebawoti; bayakunicindezela kusukela ekuyeni eHemati kuze kufike emfuleni ogwadule.
