Kwehlulela kwaNkulunkulu
1 Ngabona Simakadze eme ngaselatini, watsi: “Shaya tihloko tetinsika, kuze tenabelo teminyango titewunyikanyika. Juba tihloko tetinsika utehlisele etinhloko tabo bonkhe bantfu; labo labasele ngiyawubabulala ngenkemba. Kute namunye loyawubaleka; yebo, kute loyawuphunyula. 2 Nome bangemba bashone phansi ekujuleni kwelithuna, nakhona lapho sandla sami siyawubakhipha. Nome bangekhwela benyukele etulu emazulwini, nakhona lapho ngiyawubehlisela phansi. 3 Nome bangatifihla esicongweni sentsaba iKhameli, nakhona lapho ngiyawubatingela ngize ngibabambe. Nome bangangibhacela ekujuleni kwelwandle, nakhona lapho ngiyawutfumela inyoka ibalume. 4 Nome bangatfunjwa titsa tabo, nakhona lapho ngiyawuyala inkemba kutsi ibabulale. Emehlo ami ngiyakuwanamatselisa kubo, kube kubi kubo, kungabi kuhle.”
5 INkhosi Simakadze lenguSomandla,
yona letsintsa umhlaba bese uyancibilika,
kutsi bonkhe labahlala kuwo balile,
live lonkhe likhukhumuke njengeNayili,
liphindze libotje njengalomfula waseGibhithe,
6 ngiyo leyakha sigodlo sayo lesiphakeme emazulwini,
sisekelo sayo isimbele emhlabatsini,
yona lememeta emanti aselwandle
bese iwacitsela etikwebuso bemhlaba,
libito layo nguSimakadze.
7 “Nine, ma-Israyeli,
anifanani yini kimi nemaKushe?” kusho Simakadze.
“Angizange ngimkhiphe yini Israyeli eGibhithe,
nemaFilisti eKhaftori ngakhipha nemaSiriya eKhiri?”
8 Naku-ke lokushiwo nguSimakadze, utsi:
“Ngempela emehlo eNkhosi Simakadze
asetikwawo wonkhe lowo mbuso lowonako.
Ngiyakuwubhubhisa ungabikho ebusweni bemhlaba,
noko ngingeke ngiyibhubhise yonkhe
indlu yakaJakobe.
9“Ngako ngiyawukhipha umyalo,
nginyakatise indlu yaka-Israyeli
emkhatsini wato tonkhe tive,
njengemabele nakanyakatiswa ngesisefo,
kodvwa kute ngisho nayinye inhlavu
leyakuwela emhlabatsini.
10 Tonkhe toni letisemkhatsini wesive sami,
tiyakufa ngenkemba;
labo labakhuluma batsi:
‘Inhlekelele ingeke isehlele nome isikhandze.’ ”
Kubutfwa kabusha kwema-Israyeli
11 “Ngalelo langa ngiyakulivusa kabusha
lithende laDavide leliwile.
Ngiyakutakha kabusha tindzawo talo letephukile,
ngiwakhe kabusha emadzibikelo alo,
ngiphindze ngilakhe libe nguloku lelake laba nguko,
12 khona batekudla lifa lensali yaka-Edomu
kanye nelato tonkhe tive letibitwa ngeLibito lami,”
usho njalo Simakadze, lotawutenta tonkhe letintfo.
13 Naku-ke lokushiwo nguSimakadze, utsi:
“Ayeta emalanga,
lapho bavuni bayakwengcelelwa ngulabalimako,
nalabahlanyelako bengcelelwe ngulabahluta liwayini.
Liwayini lelisha liyawuntfontsa etintsabeni,
ligelete kuwo onkhe emagcuma.
14 Ngiyawusilandza sibuye
sive sami ema-Israyeli lebesitfunjiwe,
siyakuwakha kabusha emadolobha aso langemadzibikelo,
bese sihlala kuwo.
Siyawuhlanyela tivini,
sinatse liwayini lato;
siyawukwakha tingadze,
sidle titselo tato.
15 Ngiyakuhlanyela ema-Israyeli eveni lawo,
angaphindzi futsi asishulwe
kulelo live lengiwaphe lona,”
usho njalo-ke Simakadze Nkulunkulu wakho.
