kanye netinhlanti taselwandle.

Lababi ngiyakubacedza kanye nato tonkhe tikhubekiso,

nase ngisusa bonkhe bantfu ebusweni bemhlaba,”

kusho Simakadze.

Secwayiso lesimelene nebakaJuda

4 “Ngiyakwelula sandla sami ngimelane naJuda,

ngimelane nabo bonkhe labahlala eJerusalema.

Yonkhe imisalela yaBhali ngiyakuyisusa kulendzawo:

Emabito emahedeni nebaphristi labakhonta tithico,

5 nalabo labakhotsama etulu etingcongwaneni tetindlu

bakhonte tinkhanyeti telizulu,

nalabo labakhotsama bafunge batsi batakwetsembeka kuSimakadze

baphindze bafunge nangaMoloki

6nalabo lase bancandzekile

bakuyekela kulandzela Simakadze

bangete bamfuna Simakadze bangabuti nekubuta kuye.

7 “Thula embikweNkhosi Simakadze,

ngobe lilanga laSimakadze selisondzele.

Simakadze sewulungise umhlatjelo;

ubehlukanisile labo labamemile.

8 Ngelilanga lemhlatjelo waSimakadze

ngiyawujezisa tikhulu, netiphatsimandla,

nabo bonkhe labo labembetse tingubo tebetive.

9 Ngalelo langa ngiyawubajezisa bonkhe labo

labagwema kunyatsela emnyango, besaba tithico,

labagcwalisa lithempeli labonkulunkulu babo

ngebudlova nangenkhohliso.”

10 Simakadze utsi:

“Ngalelo langa kuyawuvela kukhala eSangweni Lenhlanti,

kuvele kulila eNcenyeni Lensha yelidolobha,

nekuphihlika lokukhulu lokuphuma emagcumeni.

11Hhewulani,

nine lenihlala esigodzini semakethe,

bonkhe batsengisi benu batawucitfwa baphele,

bonkhe labatsenga batsengise ngesiliva bayawubhujiswa.

12 “Ngaleso sikhatsi

ngiyakuyiphenya ngetibane iJerusalema,

ngijezise labo labatesutsisako,

labafanana neliwayini lelisele emashiceni alo,

bacabange batsi: ‘Simakadze angeke ente lutfo,

loluhle nome lolubi.’

13 Ingcebo yabo iyawuphangwa,

netindlu tabo tibhidlitwe.

Bayawukwakha tindlu,

kodvwa bangahlali kuto;

bayawuhlanyela tivini,

kodvwa bangalinatsi liwayini lato.”

Lilanga lelikhulu laSimakadze

14 “Lilanga lelikhulu laSimakadze selisondzele,

yebo, lisedvute, futsi lita ngekushesha.

Lalelani!

Kukhala kwangalelo langa laSimakadze

kuyawuba munyu,

sekuhhewula libutfo lapho.

15 Lelo langa kuyawuba lilanga lelulaka,

lilanga lelusizi nebuhlungu,

lilanga lenhlupheko nembhubhiso,

lilanga lebumnyama nelitfunti,

lilanga lemafu nebumnyama lobukhulu,

16lilanga lelicilongo nelekuhlaba inyandzaleyo

yekumelana nemadolobha latinqaba

neyekumelana nemibhoshongo yemakona.

17“Ngiyakwehlisela lusizi ebantfwini

bahambe njengetimphumphutse,

ngobe bonile kuSimakadze.

Ingati yabo iyawutfululwa njengelutfuli,

nematfumbu abo atfululwe njengebulongo.”

18 Isiliva yabo negolide yabo kungeke kubasindzise

ngelilanga lelulaka lwaSimakadze.

Emlilweni wesikhwele sakhe

umhlaba wonkhe uyawushiswa,

ngobe uyakwenta siphetfo lesisheshisako

sabo bonkhe labahlala emhlabeni.
