Umbusi Ka-Israyeli Oyovela EBhethlehema

1Viva ngamabutho ndodakazi,

kukhona osivimbezelayo;

umehluleli ka-Israyeli bayakumshaya esihlathini.

2“Kepha wena Bhethlehema Efratha,

nakuba ungomncinyane emindenini yakwaJuda,

ngiyakuvusa oyakuvela kuwe,

uyakuba ngumbusi kwa-Israyeli,

ondabuko yakhe ngeyasemandulo,

ezinsukwini zaphakade.”

3Ngakho-ke uyakubakhaphela

kuze kube yisikhathi sokuba

okhulelweyo abelethe.

Kuyakuthi lapho esebelethile,

abafowabo abaseleyo babuyele

kubantu bakwa-Israyeli.

4Uyakuma, eluse ngamandla kaSimakade

nangobukhulu begama likaSimakade

uNkulunkulu wakhe.

Bayakuhlala bevikelekile,

ngokuba uyakuba mkhulu

kuze kube semaphethelweni omhlaba.

5Lokhu kuyakuba ngukuthula:

kuyakuthi lapho i-Asiriya litheleka ezweni lethu,

linyathela ezinqabeni zethu,

simelane nalo ngabelusi abayisikhombisa

nangezikhulu zabantu eziyisishiyagalombili.

6Bayakubusa i-Asiriya ngenkemba,

nezwe lakwaNimrode ngezintuba zalo,

Uyakusihlenga e-Asiriya,

lapho litheleka ezweni lethu,

nalapho linyathela emingceleni yethu.

7Insali kaJakobe iyakuba

phakathi kwezizwe eziningi

njengamazolo avela kuSimakade,

nanjengezihlambi otshanini ezingalindeli muntu,

nezingahlaleli bantwana babantu.

8Insali kaJakobe iyakuba sezizweni,

kubantu abaningi,

njengengonyama iphakathi kwezilwane zehlathi,

nanjengewundlu lengonyama

liphakathi komhlambi wezimvu,

elithi uma lidabula phakathi kwawo,

linyathele, linephunephuze,

kungabi bikho ohlengayo.

9Masiphakanyiswe isandla sakho

phezu kwezitha zakho,

ziqedwe nya zonke izitha zakho.

10USimakade uthi:

“Kuyakuthi ngalolo lusuku,

nginqume amahhashi akho onawo,

ngiqede nya ngezinqola zakho.

11Ngiyakubhidliza imizi ezweni lakho,

ngizicekele phansi zonke izinqaba zakho.

12Ngiyakushabalalisa ukulumba

okwenza ngezandla zakho,

kungabe kusababikho ababhula kuwe.

13Ngiyakunquma izithombe zakho ezibaziweyo

nezinsika zakho onazo,

ungaphindi futhi ukhothamele

imisebenzi yezandla zakho.

14Ngiyakusiphula izinsika zo-Ashera bakho onabo,

ngishabalalise imizi yakho.

15Ngiyakuphindisela ngentukuthelo nangolaka

ezizweni ezingalalelanga.”
