Ngenkemba yami ngiyawuvukela

Amose na-Amasiya10Amasiya, umphristi waseBetheli, watfumela sigijimi kuJerobowamu, inkhosi yaka-Israyeli, watsi: “Amose wakha luzungu ngawe embusweni waka-Israyeli. Live lingeke liwamele onkhe lamavi akhe.
11Ngobe naku lokushiwo nguAmose, utsi:
“ ‘Jerobowamu utakufa ngenkemba,
ema-Israyeli wona ngempela atawudzingiswa,
esuswe eveni lawo lekutalwa.’ ”
12 Amasiya wakhuluma ku-Amose, watsi: “Phuma, wena mboniswa. Buyela eveni lakaJuda. Hamba uyewuhlala khona usebentele kudla kwakho khona, uphrofethe khona.
13Ungaphindzi uphrofethe lapha eBetheli, ngobe lena yindzawo lekutsiwa ingcwele yenkhosi, nelithempeli lembuso.”

15Kodvwa Simakadze wangitsatsa ekweluseni kwami timvu, watsi kimi: ‘Hamba uyewuphrofetha esiveni sami, ema-Israyeli.’
16Manje-ke vani livi laSimakadze. Wena watsi:
“ ‘Ungaphrofethi lokumelene na-Israyeli.
uyekele nekushumayela umelane nendlu ya-Isaka.’
17 “Ngako-ke naku lokushiwo nguSimakadze:
“ ‘Umfati wakho uyawuba yingwadla yelidolobha;
emadvodzana nemadvodzakati akho ayakufa ngenkemba.
Emasimi akho atawulinganiswa, abelwe labanye;
wena utakufa,
ufele eveni lemahedeni.
Israyeli, vele, yena utawutfunjwa,
esuswe eveni lakhe lekutalwa.’ ”
