1Vula iminyangwakho wena Libhanoni
ukuze umlilo urhayile imisedarakho!
2Rhahlawula wena msayipurusi
ngombana umsedari uwile,
imithi ephakamileko irhayiliwe!
Rhahlawulani nina ma-owuku weBhatjhani
ngombana isiminyaminya sehlathi sikghedlhiwe!
3Lalelani ukurhahlawula kwabelusi;
umrhulabo ononileko urhurhuliwe!
Yizwani ukubhodla kweengwenyamana,
isiminyaminya seJordani sikghedlhiwe!
Umelusi olungileko nokhohlakeleko
4Nakhu okwatjhiwo nguSomnini uZimami: “Yelusa izimvu zokuhlatjwa. 5Abathengi bazo bazihlaba bebangazizwela umlandu. Labo abazithengisako bathi, ‘Akathokozwe uSomnini, uthi nginjingile na!’ Nabelusi bazo abe abanasirhawu nazo. 6Nange ngingasenasirhawu ngabantu benarha le begodu ngibaliselele bona badlane uboya bengibaliselele nangekosabo, bazakubhubhisa inarha. Kuzakuba njalo nange ngingabasindisi emandlenabo.” Kutjho uSomnini.
7Nje-ke ngathoma ukwelusa izimvu zokuhlatjwa zabathengisi. Ngathatha iintonga ezimbili, enye ngayithiya bona nguMusa enye ngathi nguHlanganani. Ngelusa umhlambi 8ngemva kobana ngiqotjhe abelusi abathathu.
Kuthe ngenyanga yinye ngabe sengidiniwe ngomhlambi lo, kanti nawo wase ukholekile ngami. 9Ngathi kiwo: “Abe angisazonelusa. Akufe efako, kubhubhe ebhubhako. Eziseleko zigadangane zodwa.”
10Yeke ngathatha intongami ekuthiwa nguMusa ngayephula, ngabhidla isivumelwano uSomnini asenza nabo boke abantwabo. 11Nje-ke sabhidleka khona mhlokho, kwathi abathengisi ngezimvu agade bangiqalile balemuka bonyana gade kulitshwayo lakaSomnini. 12Ngabatjela ngathi: “Nanidlumbana bona kulungile, ngikhokhelani, kodwana nakungasi njalo, yenilise.” Nje-ke bangikhokhela amatjhumi amathathu weempaparwana zesiliva.
13USomnini wathi kimi: “Ifuthele kumncibilikisisimbi, iye, imali ehle ebangikhokhele ngayo leyo!” Yeke ngathatha imali leyo ngayifuthela kumncibilikisisimbi ngendlini kaSomnini. 14Ngephula intongami yesibili ekuthiwa nguHlanganani, ukubhidla ubufo phakathi kwakaJuda no-Israyeli.
15Yeke uSomnini wathi kimi: “Ukusuka gadesi, sebenzisa iinsetjenziswa zomelusi odlhayeleko, 16ngombana ngizokuvusa umelusi enarheni ongeze adlhadlharhele umhlambi olahlekileko, nanyana afunane neziphungukako, nanyana ahlenge ezilimeleko, nanyana ondle eziphilileko. Uzakugoma inyama yezimvu zekhethelo, abe agugude neenqatha zazo.”
17Uzazizwa umelusi odlhayeleko
osukela umhlambi!
Inga isabula ingamrharhabula umkhono,
imgobhodlhe nelihlo langesidleni!
Umkhonwakhe ukokorane kokukokorana
nelihlo lakhe langesidleni liphophale phophali!
