Kuyakuvela ihlumela esiqwini sikaJese,
kumile igatsha ezimpandeni zakhe, lithele.
UMoya kaSimakade uyohlala phezu kwakhe,
umoya wokuhlakanipha nowokuqonda,
umoya wamasu nowamandla,
umoya wokwazi nowokumesaba uSimakade.
Intokozo yakhe iyakuba sekumesabeni uSimakade;
akayukwehlulela ngokubona kwamehlo akhe,
noma anqume ngakuzwe ngosizwile.
Kepha uyakwehlulela abampofu ngokulunga,
alunqume ngokufaneleyo
udaba lwabathobekileyo bomhlaba,
uyakushaya umhlaba ngentonga yomlomo wakhe,
ababulale ababi ngokuphefumula kwezindebe zakhe.
Ukulunga kuyoba yibhande okhalo lwakhe,
ukwethembeka kube yibhande lamanyonga akhe.
Inkentshane liyoquba newundlu,
ingwe ibuthise ndawonye nezinyane lembuzi,
ithole nebhongo lengonyama;
kukhuluphaliswe ndawonye,
kuqhutshwe yingane encane.
Inkomo nebhele kuyakuklaba ndawonye,
namazinyane akho abuthise ndawonye,
ibhubesi lidle utshani njengenkabi.
Umntwana osancela uyodlala ngasemgodini wemfezi;
olunyuliwe afake isandla sakhe
emgodini webululu.
Abayukukwenza okubi,
noma babhubhise entabeni yami engcwele,
ngokuba umhlaba wonke
uyogcwala ukumazi uSimakade
njengamanzi esibekela ulwandle.
Ngalolo lusuku impande kaJese iyakuma njengebhanela lezizwe; abezizwe bayoyifuna, nendawo yayo iyokuba nodumo.
Kuyothi ngalolo lusuku, iNkosi ibuye yelule isandla sayo okwesibili ukubutha insali yabantu bayo e-Asiriya, eGibhithe, ePhathirosi, eKhushe, e-Elamu, eShineyari, eHamathi, naseziqhingini ezisolwandle.
Iyophakamisela abezizwe ibhanela,
ibuthe abaxoshiweyo bakwa-Israyeli,
iqoqe abahlakazekileyo bakwaJuda
emagumbini omane omhlaba.
Umona ka-Efrayimi uyophela,
nalabo abahlukumeza uJuda bayakunqunywa;
u-Efrayimi akaseyukuba nomona ngoJuda,
noJuda akaseyukumhlukumeza u-Efrayimi.
Bayohlangana bahlasele amaFilisti entshonalanga,
baphange abantu basempumalanga,
bayakumelana nabakwa-Edomi nabakwaMowabi,
ama-Amori ayoba ngaphansi kwesandla sabo.
USimakade uyoqalekisa
itheku lolwandle leGibhithe,
anyakazise isandla sakhe phezu komfula
awuhwamukise ngekhoza lomoya wakhe,
awushaye ube yimifudlana eyisikhombisa,
ongayiwela uhamba ngezinyawo.
Kuyoba khona umgwaqo
wensali yabantu bakhe
eyosala e-Asiriya,
njengalokhu kwakunjalo ku-Israyeli
ngosuku akhuphuka ngalo eGibhithe.
