UHOSIYA 2
2
1Yithini kubafowenu “Bantu bami”, kibodadwenu nithi “Thandiwe”.
Umphorofidi utlhala uGomere phambi kwabagwebi
2“Mangalelani unyoko, nimmangalele
ngombana akasese mkami, nami angisese myenakhe!
Ubangakameli ukuba namehlo amanengi nokuqoqoma.
3Nakungasinjalo bekumele ngimhlubulise
abe bhunubhunu njengamhlana abelethwako.
Bengizamenza abe njengerhalawumba,
athunye njengebhudu,
ngimbulalise ngokoma.
4Bengingazukuba nesirhawu ebantwaneni bakhe
ngombana babantwana bokonakala.
5Unina wathuwelela ngobungwadla,
wabamitha ngehlazo.
Nje-ke umfazi lo wathi:
‘Ngizakulandela iinthandwa zami
ezingipha ukudla kwami namanzami,
zingembathise ngezoboya nelineni,
zingiphe namagugwami’.
6Yeke ngaqeda ngokuthi:
Ngizakubiyela isivande samesi ngomunga
nangomthangala wamatje.
Nangenza njalo amaqhingakhe azakufelela:
7Iinthandwa zakhe azilandelelako zingameyami,
azifune angazifunyani.
Khona-ke uzakuqaquluka athi:
‘Awa-yeke, angibuyele kusobentwana
ngombana bekangiphethe kuhle.’
8Khonapho umfazi lo akhange avume
bonyana ngimi omondla ngamabele,
ngewayini nangamafutha we-oliva.
Bengamtotosa ngemali enengi nangegolide
(abalisebenzisa ukubumba isithombe sakaBhali).
9Nje-ke, ngiseqhingeni lokobana ikoroyi newayini
abaseze ayifunyana kimi nakuvunwako le,
ngimdime kwanjesi.
Nezambatho zoboya nezelineni ebengimupha zonezi,
ngizamemuka akhambe bhunubhunu.”
Isigwebo somfazi, okutjho u-Israyeli
10“Nje-ke ngizomhlubulisa phambi kweenthandwa zakhezo,
abe atlhoge nomenyeli.
11Ngizakuphelisa koke ukuzithabisa kwakhe:
kweminyaka, kweenyanga nekwamalanga.
Iye, ngiphelise yoke iminyanyakhe.
12Ngizakutjhabalalisa isidiribe namakhiwanakhe
athe ngawo:
‘Yikokhelo iinthandwa zami ezingikhokhela ngayo.’
Ngenze isimakhe ifukufuku
bese idliwa ziimbandana zommango.
13Ngizamhlawulisela amalanga
agade atjhisela ngawo aboBhali itjhwalo:
Amalanga azimomonda ngawo ngobuphaziphazi,
walandelana neenthandwa zakhe.
Kodwana mina wangikhohlwa.”
Kutjho uSomnini.
Iinkulumo ezihlukahlukeneko ngelikusasa lama-Israyeli
14“Nakanjani ngizamsomasoma,
ngimdosele erhalawumbeni,
ngikhulume naye kuhle.
15Ukusuka lapho ngizambuyisela isidiribe sakhe,
ngenze nomrhoba we-Akori isango lethemba.
Lapho-ke uzangilalela njengalokha nasesemutjha,
njengamhlana aphuma eGibhide.”
16USomnini uthi:
“Mhlokho uzangibiza uthi ‘babakwami’;
ungasathi ‘Bhalami’.
17Ngizamkhafulisa amabizo waboBhali emlonyenakhe,
angabe asawabiza.
18“Mhlokho ngizakwenzela u-Israyeli isivumelwano
neembandana zommango, neenyoni zezulu,
neenrhurhubi zephasi.
Ngizakwephula imisubela neensabula,
neenhlabano zoke zepi enarheni,
ukuze nibe nokuphumula nokuthula.
19“Ngizakuthatha ube mkami isikhathi soke.
Ngikuthathe ube mkami ngikusize, ngikuvikele;
ngithembeke bengikurhawukele
kube sisipho sami kuwe.
20Ngikuthathe ube mkami weenkomo,
ube netjhebiswano noSomnini.”
21USomnini uthi:
“Mhlokho ngizakuphendula;
Ngiphendule izulu,
izulu liphendule iphasi.
22Iphasi liphendule ikoroyi,
isidiribe namafutha we-oliva;
zona-ke zizakuphendula uJizriyela.
23Ngizazitjalela yena enarheni.
Ngirhawukele uLo-Rurhama,
ngithi kuLo-Ami ‘Bantu bami’,
bese bona bathi ‘Zimethu’.”
