1Kwaphinda kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi: 2Nyana womntu, kwakukho abafazi ababini, iintombi zamfazi mnye. 3Baqhubeka behenyuza eYiputa; bahenyuza ebutsheni babo, apho bacinezelwa khona amabele, yaye bawenza amakhoboka amabele obunyulu babo. 4Amagama abo ke nguNtente-yakhe omkhulu kubo, noNtente-yam-kuye umsakwabo; baba ngabam, bazala oonyana neentombi. Amagama abo yayinga; ElakwaSamari nguOhola, iYerusalem nguNtente-yakhe. 5Yaye uOhola waqhubeka esenza ngathi yeyam; Wawanqwenela ama-Asiriya abamelwane bakhe, amasikizi akhe. 6Bazambethe iingubo ezinde ezimsi, nabathetheli, nabathetheli, amadodana angamagatyana, amadodana ehashe onke. 7Ngoko wahenyuza kubo, nabo bonke abanyuliweyo baseAsiriya, nabo bonke awayebanqwenela; wazenza inqambi ngezigodo zabo. 8Akabuyanga kubuhenyu bakhe, awaphuma nabo eYiputa; kuba babelala naye ebutsheni bakhe, yaye bawaphula amabele obunyulu bakhe, yaye bathululela ubuhenyu babo phezu kwakhe. 9Ndamnikela ke esandleni sentanda yakhe, esandleni sama-Asiriya, awayebalangazelela. 10Bamhluba ubuntombi bakhe, bathabatha oonyana bakhe neentombi zakhe, bambulala ngekrele; ngokuba babemgweba. 11Wabona uNtente-yakhe, u-Aholibha, ukuba uthando lwakhe lungcolile kunaye, nobuhenyu bakhe bungaphezu kobuhenyu bomninawa wakhe. 12Wayewathanda ama-Asiriya nabamelwane bakhe nabaphathi-mikhosi abanxibe kakuhle neerhuluneli, abakhweli bamahashe, bonke abafana abanomtsalane. 13Ndabona ukuba uzenze inqambi, bahamba kwicala elinye bobabini. 14Wongeza ke ukuhenyuza kwakhe, ngenxa enokuba ebona amadoda egalelwa eludongeni, imifanekiso yamaKaledi yazala ibomvu. 15Babhinqa amanqina ezinqeni zabo, baba baninzi abathwele iingubo ezimibalabala entloko, zonke izikhulu zabona ngokwesiko lamaKaledi, ilizwe lokuzalwa kwawo. 16Wawabona ngamehlo akhe, wabanqwena, wathuma abathunywa kwelamaKaledi. 17Eza ke amaKaledi kuye, esesililini sokuncokolisa, amenza inqambi ngobufebe babo; wazenza inqambi ngabo, yemka kubo intliziyo yakhe. 18Wakulahla ke ukuhenyuza kwakhe, wawalahla amampunge akhe; 19Kodwa waqhubeka elandisa ubuhenyu bakhe ngokukhumbula imihla yobutsha bakhe xa wayehenyuza ezweni laseYiputa. 20Ngenxa yokuba ebakhumbula abo babathandayo, abanyama yabo injengenyama yamahashe, nabangumthonyama ngathi ngumsinga wamahashe. 21Wamana ukhwaza, ukhumbula ihlazo lobutsha bakho, ekunyatheleni kwakho amathole amaYiputa, ngenxa kayihlo ebutsheni bakho. 22Ngako oko, Ntente-yam-kuye, itsho iNkosi uYehova; Yabona, ndikuxhoxhela izithandwa zakho, lowo ujikileyo kubo umphefumlo wakho, ndize ndibazise nxamnye nawe macala onke; 23Onke amaKaledi, namaKaledi, noPekodi, noShowa, noKowa, nama-Asiriya onke anabo, amadodana onke anqwenelekayo, nabathetheli, namabamba, amadoda amakhulu, abathetheli nabamahashe, bonke bekhwele emahasheni; 24Baya kukufikela ngeenqwelo zokulwa, neenqwelo zokulwa, neevili, kwaye ngengxokolo yabantu bakubeke iingweletshetshe, ingweletshetshe, nengweletshetshe, nengxokolo; ndiwumise phambi kwabo umyalelo, banigwebe ngezigwebo zabo. 25Ndonimisela ikhwele lam, baphathe kuni; Baya kususa impumlo yakho neendlebe zakho; namasalela akho aya kuwa likrele; baya kuthabatha oonyana bakho neentombi zakho; amathambo akho aya kutshiswa ngumlilo. 26Baya kukuhluba iingubo zakho, bazithabathe izihombo zakho zokuhomba. 27Ndiza kuliphelisa ihlazo lakho nohenyuzo lwakho owalikhupha ezweni laseYiputa, ukuze ungawaphakamiseli amehlo akho kuzo, ungabi sayicinga iYiputa. 28Ngokuba itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabona, ndiya kukunikela esandleni sabo ubathiyileyo, esandleni sabo ibajikileyo intliziyo yakho. 29Baya kukuphatha ngentiyo, bawuthabathe wonke umsebenzi wakho, bakushiye wedwa; lityhileke ihlazo lobuhenyu bakho, ihlazo lakho, nobuhenyu bakho. 30Ndiya kuzenza ezi zinto kuni, ngenxa yokuba nikrexezile neentlanga nangenxa yokuba nizenze iinqambi ngezithixo zazo ezinezothe. 31Uhambe ngendlela yomsakwenu; ke ngoko, ndiya kuyinikela indebe yakhe esandleni sakho. 32Itsho iNkosi enguMongami uYehova ukuthi: “Uya kuyisela endebeni enzulu nenkulu kadade wenu; Uya kuba yintlekisa, intlekisa; inabaninzi. 33Uya kuzala kukunxila nakukubandezeleka, yindebe yembandezelo neyokwaphula kwindebe yomzalwana wakho uSamari. 34Uya kuyisela uze uyiginye, yaye uya kuziqhekeza iziqwenga zayo, uzikrazule namabele, ngenxa yokuba nditshilo, itsho iNkosi enguMongami uYehova. 35Ngako oko, itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ekubeni undilibele, wandiphosa emva komhlana wakho, uya kulithwala ihlazo lakho nobuhenyu bakho. 36Wathi uYehova kum, Nyana womntu, uya kubagweba na ooNtente-yakhe noNtente-yam-kuye? ewe, exela izingcikivo zabo kubo; 37bakrexezile, izandla zabo zinegazi; bakrexeza nezigodo zabo; oonyana babo, ababazalela mna kum, babatshisa ngomlilo. 38Benjenjalo kum: bayenze inqambi ingcwele yam kwangaloo mini, bazenza inqambi iisabatha zam; 39Ngenxa yokuba bazixhela izithixo zabo ezinezothe ababenqulwa ngoonyana babo, bangena kwangaloo mini engcweleni yam ukuze bayenze inqambi; kwaye yabona, besenza njalo endlwini yam. 40Wathuma amadoda akude, kwathunyelwa kuwo umthunywa; yabona, ziyeza; lowo uzihlambisileyo, wawagquma amehlo akho, wahomba izivatho; 41wahlala esingqengqelweni esilungileyo, wawulungiselela itafile, wabeka phezu kwayo isiqhumiso sam neoli yam; 42Kwabakho izwi lesihlwele, lithuthuzelayo; athi amaSabhaya aziswa entlango, enesihlwele esikhulu, enezacholo ezandleni nezizithsaba zokuhomba entloko. 43Ndathi kumfazi oselehagele ekukrexezeni, Baya kukrexeza na, yena nabo? 44Bangena ke kuye njengoko babengenamfazi okrexezayo; Bangena ke kuNtente-yakhe, noNtente-yam-kuye, bahenyuza abafazi abo. 45Ke amadoda angamalungisa aya kubagweba ngokwesiko lamahenyukazi, nangokwesiko labafazi abaphalaza igazi labo; ngokuba bebakrexeza, banegazi ezandleni zabo. 46Kuba itsho iNkosi enguMongami uYehova ukuthi: “Ndiza kubangela ukuba isihlwele sibahlasele ndize ndisinikele ukuba sisisuse sibatshabalalise. 47Isihlwele siya kubagibisela ngamatye, sibathumele ngamakrele aso; nibabulale oonyana babo neentombi zabo, nitshise izindlu zabo ngomlilo. 48Ngoko ndiza kuluphelisa igama elibi ehlabathini, ukuze bonke abafazi bafundiswe ukuba bangenzi ngokwezithuko zakho. 49Baya kunibuyekeza ngokwezinto zenu ezimbi, nezono zezigodo zenu niya kuzithwala; nazi ukuba ndiyiNkosi uYehova.
