UMikha Nendlu Yakhe Enawonkulunkulu
1Kwakukhona umuntu kwelezintaba kwa-Efrayimi ogama lakhe kunguMikha. 2Wathi kunina: “Izinhlamvu zesiliva eziyi-1 100 ezathathwa kuwe, waqalekisa ngenxa yazo, ngikuzwa; uyabona-ke, lelo siliva likimi, yimi engalithatha.”
Unina wathi: “Sengathi indodana yami ingabusiswa nguSimakade!”
3 Wazibuyisela kunina izinhlamvu zakhe zesiliva eziyi-1 100; unina wathi: “Leli siliva elisesandleni sami ngiyalingcwelisa kuSimakade ukuze indodana yami yenze isithombe esibaziweyo nesibunjiweyo, ngakho-ke manje ngilibuyisela kuwe.”
4Walibuyisela isiliva kunina, unina wathatha izinhlamvu zesiliva ezingama-200, wazinika umkhandisiliva, owenza ngazo isithombe esibaziweyo, nesibunjiweyo, sabekwa endlini kaMikha.
5 Leyo ndoda enguMikha yayinendlu enonkulunkulu, yenza ingubo yamahlombe netherafimi, yabeka enye yamadodana ayo ukuba ibe ngumphristi wayo. 6 Ngalezo zinsuku kwakungekho nkosi kwa-Israyeli; yilowo nalowo muntu wayenza lokho ayekubona kulungile emehlweni akhe.

9UMikha wathi kuyo: “Uvelaphi, na?”
Yaphendula yathi: “NgingumLevi waseBhethlehema kwaJuda, ngihamba ngicinga lapho ngingathola khona indawo.”
10 UMikha wayesethi kuyo: “Hlala nami, ube ngubaba nomphristi wami, ngizokunika izinhlamvu zesiliva ezilishumi ngonyaka, nesembatho, nokudla.”
