Ibutho lakaSomnini lesikhonyani
1USomnini uthi:
“Vuthelani ipalapala eZiyoni;
nihlabe umkhosi entatjaneni yami ecwengileko.”
Akuthi zoke izakhamuzi zihlengezele
ngombana ilanga lakaSomnini liyeza;
iye, selitjhidele khulu.
2Lilanga elimnyama nelifipheleko,
ilanga lamafu nesigayegaye.
Njengokusa kugubuzesa iintaba,
kuza ibutho elikhulu;
elingazange khelibekhona elinjalo nekadeni,
nelingasoze labakhona eenkhathini ezizako.
3Phambi kwalo kurhayila umlilo,
ngemuva kwalo kurubha ilangabu.
Phambi kwalo inarha injengesivande se-Edeni,
ngemuva kwalo kube libhudu lerhalawumba.
Akunalitho elisindako kilo.
4Ibuthweli liqaleka njengeenjomani;
ligijima njengeenjomani zabakhweli.
5Lilakutja eenqongweni zeentaba,
ngetjhada elinjengeleenkarana zepi.
Linjengokuthuthumba komlilo obabula amawunguwungu;
linjengepi nayijokola evadleni.
6Ngokuvela kwalo izizwe ziyavevezela;
boke bethuka bomelele.
7Ibuthweli lisahlela njengeenkutani;
bakhuphuka ngomthangala njengamajoni.
Boke banqomba rwe,
abaphambuki emnqophenabo.
8Abaliyani endleleni,
omunye nomunye unqophe phambili.
Nanyana baphoswa ngemikhonto ngapha nangapha,
abaphambuki emnqophenabo.
9Batheleka emzini,
bagijime emthangaleni,
bakhwela ezindlini,
bangene emafesiderini njengamasela.
10Phambi kwabo kudengezela iphasi,
isibhakabhaka sihlengezele.
Ilanga nenyanga kufiphale,
iinkwekwezi zingasakhanyi.
11USomnini uzwakalisa ilizwi phezu kwebutho lakhe.
Ngambala amabuthwakhe manengi khulu
begodu baqinile abalalela imiyalwakhe.
Iye, ilanga lakaSomnini likhulu,
lesabeka kwamambala.
Ngubani ongalijamela na?
Isizwe sibizelwa ekuphendukeni
12USomnini uthi:
“Nanjesi buyelani kimi ngehliziywenu yoke,
ngokuzila nokulila nokubibitheka.”
13Dabulani iinhliziyo zenu,
ingasi izambatho zenu kwaphela.
Buyelani kuZimu uSomnini,
ngombana unomusa nesirhawu,
uthathela kude ukusilingeka,
uthembeka khulu,
uyariyada ekurhayileni.
14Ngubani owaziko?
Mhlamunye angajika atjhugulule umkhumbulo;
anitjhiyele isibusiso:
umnikelo wamabele nokuselwako kwakaSomnini uZimenu.
15Vuthelani ipalapala eZiyoni;
bekani ilanga lokuzila,
nimemezele umhlangano okhethekileko.
16Bizelani abantu ndawonye,
nihlambulule ibandla,
hlanganisani abaphathi ndawonye,
nibuthelele abantwana,
iye, ngitjho nabamunyako.
Umkhwenyana akaphume ngelawini lakhe,
nomlobokazi ngetendeni lakhe.
17Abaphristi abalotjha phambi kwakaSomnini,
abalile hlangana namathuri wethempeli ne-aldari,
bathi: “Hawu Somnini! Rhawukela abantu bakho.
Ungavumi bona ilifa lakho lirhubutjhwe
libe sisiga hlangana nezizwe.
Kubayini abantu bebathi ezizweni:
‘Njekhona uphi uZimabo loyo?’ ”
UZimu uphendula imithandazo yabantu bakhe
18Yeke, uSomnini wamela inarhakhe,
warhawukela abantu bakhe.
19USomnini waphendula wathi ebantwini bakhe:
“Nginithumelela amabele,
isitjhidela sewayini namafutha we-oliva
bona kunisuthise.
Angeze ngisavuma bona babe siphoqo ezizweni.
20Ngizakudedisela ibutho letlhagwini kude nani;
ngilihlakazele enarheni eyomileko neligagadu.
Ihlokwalo iqale ngepumalanga yelwandle,
umsilalo uqale ngetjingalanga yelwandle.
Kukhuphuke umnukwalo,
kuvuke isivunda salo
ngombana benze izinto ezesabekako.”
21Ungesabi wena hlabathi,
kodwana thaba uthokoze
ngombana uSomnini uzokwenza izinto ezikulu.
22Ningesabi nina mbandana zommango,
ngombana amadlelo emrhuleni azokuba lihlaza;
nemithi ithele iinthelo zayo;
imithi yamakhiwani nesidiribe kuhlome kuphuke.
23Thabani nani bantu beZiyoni,
nithokoze kuSomnini uZimenu
ngombana uzanipha labo
abazanifundisa indlela efaneleko;
uzaninisela izulu, okutjho ikhukhulamungu nesewula njengaphambilini.
24Izelelo zizakuzala amabele
neembekelelo ziphuphume ngesitjhidela sewayini
namafutha we-oliva.
25USomnini uthi:
“Ngizanibuyisela amabele
adliwa sikhonyani, yikumbi, newoma leentethe,
okulibutho lami elikhulu engalithumela phakathi kwenu.
26Nje-ke, nizakuba nenala nidle nanele;
nizakudumisa ibizo lakaSomnini uZimenu,
owanenzela imikarisomraro.
Isizwe sami angeze sisaphoqeka.
27Nizakutjho bona ngiphakathi ko-Israyeli,
nokuthi nginguSomnini uZimenu akakho omunye.
Isizwe sami angeze sisaphoqeka.”
Ilanga lakaSomnini
28“Kuzakuthi emuva kwalokho
ngithululele uMoyami kibo boke abantu.
Amadodanenu namadodakazenu azakuphorofida;
abadala benu babhudange amabhudango;
abatjha benu babone imibono.
29Iye, emalangeni lawo ngizakuthululela uMoyami
naphezu kweenceku neencekukazi.
30Ngizakuveza amabono ezulwini nephasini:
iingazi nomlilo nesimukumuku sentuthu.
31Lokhu kuzakwenzeka
ngebanga lokuza kwelanga lakaSomnini elikhulu nelesabekako;
ilanga lizakuphenduka libe nzima
nenyezi ibe ziingazi.”
32Kuzakuthi boke ababiza ibizo lakaSomnini basindiswe,
njengombana uSomnini atjho, asithi:
“Phezu kwentaba yeZiyoni neJerusalema kuzakubakhona isindiso.”
Nalabo uSomnini azababiza phakathi kwezizwe bazakusindiswa.
