Inceku KaSimakade

1“Bheka, inceku yami engiyesekayo,

okhethiweyo wami

othokoza ngaye umphefumulo wami;

ngibekile umoya wami phezu kwakhe,

uyakwenzela izizwe ubulungiswa.

2Akayukukhala,

akayukuliphakamisa izwi lakhe,

akayukulizwakalisa izwi lakhe emigwaqweni.

3Umhlanga ofecekileyo akayukuwaphula,

umongo othunqanyo akayukuwucima,

uyakwenza ukwehlulela ngokweqiniso.

4Akayukudangala, aphele amandla,

aze amise ubulungiswa emhlabeni;

neziqhingi ziyolindela ukuyala kwakhe.”

5Usho kanje uNkulunkulu uSimakade

owadala izulu, waleneka,

wendlala umhlaba nokuvela kuwo;

onika abantu abakuwo umphefumulo

nomoya kwabahamba kuwo, uthi:

6“Mina Simakade ngikubize ngokulunga,

ngiyokubamba ngesandla sakho,

ngikulondoloze,

ngiyokwenza ube yisivumelwano sabantu,

nokukhanya kwabezizwe,

7ukuze uvule amehlo ezimpumputhe,

ukhiphe iziboshwa ejele,

nabahlezi ebumnyameni ejele.

8“NginguSimakade; yilelo igama lami;

angiyukumnika omunye inkazimulo yami,

nezithombe ezibaziweyo, udumo lwami.

9Izinto zakuqala zifikile,

sengizakumemezela izinto ezintsha;

zingakaqhamuki, ngiyakunenza nizizwe.”

Ihubo Elisha

10Mhubeleni uSimakade ihubo elisha,

indumiso yakhe kusukela emikhawulweni yomhlaba,

nina enehlela olwandle

nakho konke okukulo,

nina ziqhingi nabakhileyo kuzo.

11Ihlane nemizi yalo makujabule,

nemizana okwakhe kuyo abakwaKedari,

abakhileyo eSela mabajabule bathokoze,

mabenanele beseziqongweni zezintaba.

12Mabamnike uSimakade udumo,

bamemezele udumo lwakhe eziqhingini.

13USimakade uyakuphuma njengeqhawe,

njengendoda yempi,

uyakuvusa ukushisekela kwakhe,

uyakumemeza ngezwi lokunqoba,

akhuze isiqubulo sempi

aziqonele izitha zakhe.

14“Sengithule isikhathi eside;

ngizibambile ngathula.

Sengizokhala njengowesifazane ebeletha,

ngihefuzele, ngibitoze ngasikhathi sinye.

15Ngiyakuchitha izintaba namagquma kube yize,

ngomise konke okumile kukho,

ngiyokwenza imifula ibe yiziqhingi,

ngishise amachibi.

16Izimpumputhe ngiyozihambisa

ngendlela ezingayaziyo,

ngiyozihola emikhondweni ezingayaziyo,

ngiyophendula ubumnyama

bube ngukukhanya phambi kwazo,

amagebhugebhu ahlelembeke,

lezi zinto engiyozenza,

angiyukuyeka ngingazenzi.

17Bayakubuyiselwa emuva,

bajabhe nokujabha labo abethembela

ezithombeni ezibaziweyo,

abathi ezithombeni ezibunjiweyo:

‘Ningonkulunkulu bethu.’

18“Yizwani nina zithulu;

bhekani nina zimpumputhe,

ukuze nibone.

19Ngubani oyimpumputhe

ngaphandle kwenceku yami,

nesithulu njengesithunywa sami

engiyosithuma na?

Ngubani oyimpumputhe njengozinikele kimi,

noyimpumputhe njengenceku kaSimakade na?

20Ubonile izinto eziningi,

kodwa awuqaphelanga;

nezindlebe zakho zivulekile,

kodwa awuzwanga.”

21Kwaba kuhle kuSimakade

ngenxa yokulunga kwakhe,

ukuba aphakamise umthetho wakhe,

awenze uhlonipheke.

22Kodwa laba bangabantu abaphuciweyo baphangwa;

bonke bacushwe emigodini,

bafihlwa emajele;

bangabokuphangwa,

akekho obasindisayo,

bayimpango,

akekho nothi:

“Buyisa.”

23Ngubani phakathi kwenu

oyobeka indlebe kulokhu,

aqaphele, ezwe okwesikhathi esizayo na?

24Ngubani owanikela uJakobe

ukuba aphangwe,

no-Israyeli kubaphangi na?

Akusiye yini uSimakade lona esonile kuye,

abangavumanga ukuhamba ngezindlela zakhe,

nokulalela umthetho wakhe na?

25Wathela phezu kwakhe

ukufutheka kwentukuthelo yakhe,

nesihluku sempi;

kwavutha nxazonke,

kodwa akaqondanga;

kwashisa,

nokho akazange

akubeke enhliziyweni yakhe.
