Intshayelelo
1Nali ilizwi *likaNdikhoyo elafikela uMika waseMoreshete ngemihla kaJotam noAhazi noHezekiya, ookumkani bakwaJuda, awalibonayo ngokusingisele kwiSamariya neJerusalem:
ISamariya neJerusalem
2Yivani, nina nonke zizwe;
phulaphulani, mhlaba nabo bonke abemiyo kuwo.
*UNdikhoyo uSomandla unika ubungqina ngawe;
yena uthetha esendlwini yakhe engcwele.
3Nanko ephuma ekhayeni lakhe;
ewe, nanko esiza ehamba ezindaweni eziphakamileyo.
4Uya kunyathela iintaba zitsho zinyibilike,
zibe ngathi ngumthwebeba emlilweni.
Uya kunyathela iintili zitsho zimke,
kube ngathi kuhl' iimpuphuma zamanzi ethambekeni –
5nto leyo ihla ngenxa yobugwenxa bukaYakobi;
ewe, le nto ingenxa yesono sendlu kaSirayeli.
Bubugwenxa buni obu bukaYakobi? AsingoSamariya na?
Yiyiphi indawo ephakamileyo yokukhonza *izithixo kwaJuda? AsiyoJerusalem na?
6“Ngoko ke iSamariya ndoyitsho ibe yimbuqe,
ibe yintili yokutyala isidiliya.
Loo matye ayo ndowaphosa entilini,
iziseko zayo zisale zize.
7Imifanekiso eqingqiweyo yezithixo zakhona yoba ziingceba;
iminikelo kwindlu yokunqula yotshiswa ngomlilo.
Ndoyitshabalalisa imifanekiso yezithixo.
Kaloku izuzwe ngobuhenyu;
yophinda ke ibuyele kwakubuhenyu bengqesho.”
Isililo
8Ngesi ke isizathu ndobhomboloza ndikhale;
ndohamba ndinganxibanga zihlangu, ndizé,
nditsho ngomkhulungwane ngathi ngudyakalashe,
ndigqumshele ngathi yinciniba.
9Kaloku inxeba leSamariya alinyangeki,
ngoku selisosulela noJuda lo.
Selikumasango abantu bam;
ewe, kwiJerusalem ngenkqu.
10Le nto ze ningayibiki eGati;
ze ningakhe nigixe konke-konke.
Ze nizibhuqa-bhuqe eluthulini eBhete-leafra.
11Dlulani nihamba zé nilihlazo, nina bemi baseShafire.
AbaseZanan abacingi baphume.
IBhete-ezele ikwinzilo;
akukho ndawo isondele kuyo yokuzikhusela.
12AbaseMaroti bayapena-pena ziintlungu,
belangazelela okulungileyo,
kuba isithwakumbe sivele *kuNdikhoyo,
sathi gaxa kumasango eJerusalem.
13Nina bemi baseLakishe, bophelan' amahash' enqwelweni.
Yaba nini abangcamli besono,
neZiyon nayikhokelela kwakuso;
ubugwenxa bukaSirayeli bufunyenwe kuni.
14Nangoku nab' izipho zokwahlukana,
ninikezele kwiMoresheti yaseGati.
IAkezibhi yona ngumkhohlisi;
ibagqibile ookumkani bakwaSirayeli.
15Ke nina, bemi baseMaresha, ndiya kunizisela oya kunidla ilifa.
Yena lowo usisidima sikaSirayeli uza kufika eAdulam.
16Zilani nigugule nitsho ngeenkqayi ngenxa yabantwana enibathandayo.
Chengezelisani ngeempandla ngathi lixhalanga;
kaloku baza kuthathwa basiwe ekuthinjweni.
