Josefa washesha waphuma, ngobe inhlitiyo yakhe yefikelwa buhlungu, wafuna indzawo lesitsele, wangena khona wakhala.
Jeremiya 31:20 - Siswati 1996 Bible Efrayimu akasiyo yini indvodzana yami letsandzekako, umntfwana lengijabulako ngaye? Nome ngivamise kukhuluma ngimelane naye, kodvwa noko ngisamkhumbula. Ngako-ke inhlitiyo yami iyamlangatelela; nginesihawu lesikhulu ngaye,” kusho Simakadze. |
Josefa washesha waphuma, ngobe inhlitiyo yakhe yefikelwa buhlungu, wafuna indzawo lesitsele, wangena khona wakhala.
Lomfati longumnikati walomntfwana wafikelwa ngimihelo ngenca yalomntfwanakhe, wakhuluma enkhosini watsi: “Ngiyacela, nkhosi yami, mane sale umnika yena lomntfwana lophilako! Ungambulali!” Kodvwa lona lomunye watsi: “Akubete lomtsatsako kitsi sobabili. Mhlahleleni ekhatsi!”
Njengobe uyise anesihe kubantfwabakhe, ngalokufananako Simakadze unesihe kulabamesabako.
Ngobe Simakadze uyamtsetsisa amcondzise lowo lamtsandzako, njengobe neyise enta endvodzaneni yakhe lajabula ngayo.
Longitsandzako wami wase ufaka sandla sakhe esikhaleni semnyango, inhlitiyo yami yase icala kumhawukela.
Inhlitiyo yami ililela iMowabi, ikhala njengelihabhu, lingekhatsi lami lilila ngeKhiri Heresi.
Noko Simakadze ulangatelela kangaka kutsi abe nemusa kini. Uyaphakama kutsi anihawukele, ngobe Simakadze nguNkulunkulu lowehlulela ngemtsetfocotfo. Babusisiwe bonkhe labalindzela yena.
Lomubi akayiyekele indlela yakhe lembi, nalokhohlakele ayekele imicabango yakhe lemibi. Akaphendvuke abuyele kuSimakadze, uyawuba nemusa kuye, akabuyele kuNkulunkulu wetfu, ngobe uyawumtsetselela ngenkhululeko.

Hamba, umemetele lombiko ngasenyakatfo utsi: “ ‘Buya Israyeli longaketsembeki,’ kusho Simakadze. ‘Ngingeke ngisaphindza ngikuswacele, ngobe nginemusa,’ kusho Simakadze. ‘Ngingeke ngisakutfukutselela siphelane.
“Mine cobo lwami, ngatsi: ‘Bengingajabula kanjani kuniphatsisa kwemadvodzana ami, ngininike live lelifanelekile kakhulu, lifa lelihle kakhulu kwendlula tonkhe letinye tive.’ Bengicabanga ngitsi nitangibita, nitsi kimi: ‘Babe,’ ningajiki ekulandzeleni mine.
Bayawuta bakhala; bayawuthandaza ngisababuyisela emuva. Ngiyawubaholela ngasemifuleni yemanti endleleni lebekile, lapho bangeyiwukhubatela khona, ngobe mine nginguyise wa-Israyeli, Efrayimu uyindvodzana yami yematubulo.
bengitakutilahla titukulwane taJakobe netaDavide, inceku yami, futsi bengingayikuyikhetsa lenye yemadvodzana akhe kutsi ibuse etikwetitukulwane ta-Abrahama, na-Isaka, naJakobe. Ngobe ngiyawubuyisela tibusiso tabo, ngibe nesihawu kubo.’ ”
“Ngako inhlitiyo yami ikhala njengemntjingozi, ikhalela iMowabi, intjilota njengemntjingozi ngenca yemadvodza aseKhiri Heresi. Umcebo labewutfola awusekho.
Ngenca yelutsandvo lolukhulu lwaSimakadze asikadliwa sacedvwa, ngobe sihawu sakhe singeke siphele.
Khuluma kubo utsi: ‘Ngifunga kuphila kwami, kusho iNkhosi Simakadze, angikujabuleli kufa kwalomubi, kodvwa ngitsandza kutsi agucuke etindleleni takhe letimbi aphile. Gucukani! Gucukani etindleleni tenu letimbi! Ningafelani, ninendlu yaka-Israyeli?’
“Ngiyawukuphilisa kunhlanhlatsela kwabo, ngibatsandze ngekukhululeka, ngobe intfukutselo yami seyisukile kubo.
Kodvwa nome kunjalo, nasebaseveni letitsa tabo, ngingeke ngibadvube, futsi ngingeke ngibacansukele kangangekutsi ngize ngibabhubhise baphele nya, ngephule sivumelwane sami nabo. NginguSimakadze, Nkulunkulu wabo.
Ngobe lendvodzana yami beyifile, kodvwa nyalo seyiyaphila; beyilahlekile, kodvwa nyalo seyitfolakele.’ Ngako kwase kuyadliwa, kuyajatjulwa.
Kepha kusifanele kutsi sijabule sidle ngekutfokota, ngobe umnakenu abefile, kepha manje sewuyaphila; abelahlekile, kepha manje sewutfolakele.’ ”
Simakadze uyawusehlulela sive sakhe. Unesihawu etincekwini takhe, nase abone kutsi emandla ato aphelile, sekute namunye losasele, sigcili nome lokhululekile.
Nkulunkulu ungufakazi wami kutsi nginilangatelela kanganani nonkhe ngesihe saKhristu Jesu.
Base bayabesusa bonkulunkulu betive lababesemkhatsini wabo, bakhonta Simakadze. Inhlitiyo yakhe yase iyatsintseka ngenca yekukhala kwesive sema-Israyeli.
