Okuzokwenzeka Kwabacindezela Abampofu

1Maye, kulabo abaceba okubi,

labo abahlela ukwenza ububi

besemibhedeni yabo,

kuthi ekuthatheni kokusa bakwenze!

Ngokuba kusemandleni ezandla zabo

ukwenza lokho.

2Bafisa amasimu, bawaqhwage,

nezindlu bazithathe,

bacindezele indoda nabendlu yayo,

umuntu nefa lakhe.

3Ngakho-ke usho kanje uSimakade, uthi:

“Niyabona-ke, lo mndeni

ngiwuhlelela inhlekelele,

eningayukukhipha izintamo zenu kuyo,

futhi aniyukuhamba ngokuziqhayisa,

ngokuba kuyakuba yisikhathi esibi.

4Ngalolo lusuku bayakusho isaga ngani,

bakhihle isililo, bethi:

‘Kuphelile, kuphele nya ngathi;

isabelo sabantu bami sinikwe abanye abantu!

Maye, usithathile kimi,

amasimu ethu wawabela amahlubuka!’ ”

5Ngakho-ke akuyukubabikho kini

ophonsa intambo yokulinganisa ngonkatho

ebandleni likaSimakade.

6“Ningaphrofethi,” baphrofetha, bathi:

“Akufanele niphrofethe ngalokho;

asiyukuthelwa ngehlazo.

7Kungashiwo yini nina ndlu kaJakobe

ukuthi uMoya kaSimakade

uphelelwa yinisineke

noma lezi yizenzo zakhe na?

Awamahle yini amazwi ami

kohamba ngobuqotho na?

8Akukapholi maseko abantu bami

sebephenduke isitha;

bahlubula ingubo esembathweni

salabo abadlula bethi baphephile,

bebuya empini.

9Nixosha abesifazane babantu bami

ezindlini abazithandayo;

nithathe ezinganeni zabo

inkazimulo yami yaphakade.

10Sukumani nihambe,

ngokuba lena akusiyona indawo yokuphumula,

ngoba ingcolile,

iyakuqotha imbokodo nesisekelo kabi.

11Ukuba bekukhona ohamba

ekhuluma udwadwa namanga,

aqambe amanga athi:

‘Ngiyakuniphrofethela ngewayini

nangophuzo olunamandla,

ubeyakuba ngumphrofethi walaba bantu.’ ”

12“Impela ngiyakumqoqa wonkana uJakobe;

ngiyihlanganise ndawonye

ngempela insali yakwa-Israyeli,

ngiyiqoqele ndawonye njengezimvu esibayeni,

nanjengomhlambi phakathi edlelweni lawo,

kube nokuxokozela kwabantu.

13Obavulela indlela uyakuhamba phambi kwabo.

Bayakufohla, badlulele esangweni,

baphume ngalo.

Inkosi yabo isidlulile phambi kwabo,

uSimakade useyinhloko yabo.”
