Kulilela iSamariya neJerusalema
1 Ngesikhatsi kaJuda kusabusa boJothamu, na-Ahazi, naHezekiya Simakadze watfuma Mikha waseMoreshethi. Simakadze wembulela Mikha nati tintfo ngeSamariya neJerusalema:
2 Lalelani naku, nine tive nonkhe:
nilalele nani mhlaba wonkhe!
INkhosi Simakadze iyakunilahla ngelicala.
Lalelani! Ukhuluma asethempelini lakhe.
3 Simakadze usuka endzaweni yakhe lengcwele;
utakwehla ahambe eticongweni tetintsaba.
4 Letintsaba titawuncibilika
ngaphansi kwetinyawo takhe;
yebo, tincibilike njengemafutsa nakafakwa emlilweni.
Tiyawugeletela etigodzini nasetihosheni;
yebo, tigelete njengemanti ahhuhluleka
aphuma eticongweni temagcuma.
5Konkhe loku kuyakwenteka,
ngobe Israyeli onile wahlubuka kuNkulunkulu.
Empeleni nje ngubani lekufanele asoleke
ngenca yekuhlubuka kwa-Israyeli?
Vele, yiSamariya.
Ngubani lonelicala lekukhonta tithico kaJuda?
Vele, yiJerusalema matfupha.
6Ngako Simakadze utsi:
“ISamariya ngitayenta
ibe tindzala tesikhotsa,
kube yindzawo yekuhlanyela umvini.
Tindlu letitindzala ngiyakutitfulula
tigeletele etigodzini,
kutsi tisekelo telidolobha
ngitihlubule tibesebaleni.
7 Tonkhe tithico talo
letiligugu ngiyakutifohlota tibe ticucu,
nako konkhe lokunikwe tingwadla telithempeli
kubhujiswe ngemlilo,
bese kutsi tonkhe tithico letibatiwe
kube libibi lesiganga.
Konkhe loku iSamariya ikucokelele ngemali
leyitfole ngebugwadla bayo ethempelini,
ngako titsa tayo titakwetfwala tikuyise
lapho kuyawubhadala bugwadla khona.”
8 Mikha wase utsi:
“Ngenca yaloko ngitawukhala
ngilile kuze ngikhombise kudzabuka kwami,
ngitawuhamba ngcunu
ngingafaki ngisho neticatfulo,
ngishaye umkhulungwane njengenja,
ngikhale njengesahhukulu,
ngikekele njengenshi.
9 Emanceba ekushaywa nguSimakadze,
ashaya iSamariya, angeke elapheke;
yebo, naJuda utakwehlelwa ngulawo manceba.
Kubhujiswa sekusemasangweni eJerusalema,
lapho kuhlala khona bantfu bami.”
Sitsa sicatsamela iJerusalema
10 Titsa tetfu taseGathi
ungatitjeli ngekwehlulwa kwetfu,
ungatikhombisi kukhala kwakho.
Bantfu, baseBhethi Leyafra,
khombisani kudzabuka kwenu
ngekutsi nitigicite phansi elutfulini.
11Nine takhamiti taseShafiri,
tidzingiseni nihlazekile, ningcunu.
Takhamiti taseSanani tesaba
kuphuma edolobheni lato.
Nawuva takhamiti taseBethi Eseli tilila,
uyawuvele ubone kutsi kute siphephelo lapho.
12 Takhamiti taseMarothi timele
kusitakala kwato ngekulangatelela lokukhulu,
ngobe Simakadze usondzete sigemegeme
emasangweni aseJerusalema.
13 Nine lenihlala eLakhishi,
bophelani emahhashi enu etincoleni,
ngobe ngini lenaholela iSiyoni esonweni,
tono ta-Israyeli takhandzakala kini.
14 Ngako, nine takhamiti takaJuda,
yehlukanani nelidoloba iMoreshethi Gathi.
Kute lusito
lolutawutfolwa ngemakhosi aka-Israyeli
edolobheni lase-Akzibi.
15 Nine-ke takhamiti taseMaresha,
Simakadze utaninikela etandleni tesitsa
lesitawutfumba lelidolobha lenu.
Baholi labahloniphekile baka-Israyeli
bayawubhaca emihumeni yase-Adulamu.
16Takhamiti takaJuda,
hhulani tinwele tenu,
nililele bantfwabenu lenibatsandzako.
Singani tinhloko tenu
tibe tincacadvu njengemphandla,
ngobe bantfwabenu batawutfunjwa.
