Isingeniso
1Le yincwadi yombono kaNahum wase-Elkoshe. Ludaba olundilisekileyo olumayela neNiniva.
Umsindo kaNdikhoyo ngenxa yeNiniva
2*UNdikhoyo nguThixo onekhwele nophindezelayo.
UNdikhoyo ngumbuyekezi; yena ngumalawul' inqumbo.
Ewe, uyaziphindezela kwabamchasayo;
ingqumbo yakhe ihlala ihleli kwiintshaba zakhe.
3Umsindo kaNdikhoyo uza kade,
kodwa ke yena ngumandla-makhulu.
Umntu owonileyo akaphuncuki kwisohlwayo sakhe.
Indlela yakhe sisivungu-vungu noqhwithela;
amafu luthuli lweenyawo zakhe.
4Ulwandle ulukhalimela lome qoko,
imilambo itshe ikhotheke.
IBhashan neKarmele iyatshaza;
iintyatyambo zaseLebhanon ziyeketheke.
5Phambi kwakhe iintaba ziyaqhaqhamba;
ke zona iinduli zitsho zinyibilike.
Akuvela umhlaba uyarhwaqela,
ngokunjalo nehlabathi nabemi balo.
6Ngubani onokumelana nengqumbo yakhe,
ingubani onokujongana nomsindo wakhe ovuthayo?
Ingqumbo yakhe iphokoka njengomlilo;
phambi kwakhe namawa ayaqhaqheka.
7Ewe, uNdikhoyo ulungile:
ungumqolomba ngamaxesha eenkathazo;
ubakhathalele abo bathembele kuye.
8Ngeempuphuma ezikhukhulisayo uyayigubungela iNiniva,
aye kuzitshonisa ebumnyameni iintshaba zakhe.
9Nimjikeleza ngantoni uNdikhoyo?
Wosuka yena anitshabalalise;
inkathazo soze iphindelele.
10Noba sebebhijeleke okobobo,
noba sebemanzi ngokwamanxila,
bofana nomququ owomileyo,
bovutha baphele kuthi nya.
11Apho kuwe kuthe gqi umfo
owenzela uNdikhoyo ubugwenxa,
umfo ofutha inkohlakalo.
12Utsho uNdikhoyo ukuthi:
“Nangona bomelele beyinyambalala,
baya kunqanyulwa bathi shwaka.
Nangona ndakubandezelayo, Juda,
ngoku andiyi kuphinda.
13Idyokhwe yabo ndiza kuyaphula;
ewe, ndoyisusa entanyeni yakho,
ndiziqhawule iimbophelelo zakho.”
14UNdikhoyo umisele umyalelo ngawe, Niniva:
“Wena akuyi kuba nasizukulwana;
igama lakho aliyi kuhlwayeleka.
Ndoyitshabalalisa imifanekiso eqingqiweyo netyhidiweyo
apho kuloo ndlu yothixo wakho.
Sendikumbela ingcwaba,
kuba uphuthile.”
15Khawukhangele phaya ezintabeni;
nazo iinyawo zalowo uzisa iindaba ezimnandi,
lowo uvakalisa uxolo.
Xhamlani imibhiyozo yenu, maJuda;
zifezekiseni izibhambathiso zenu.
Anisayi kuphinda nihlaselwe sisikhohlakali;
sona sitshatyalaliswe kwaphela.
