¹ Kwathi ngomnyaka wekhomba, enyangeni yesihlanu ngelanga letjhumi, kweza abaphathi abathileko bakwa-Israyeli kobana bazokubuza kuSomnini, nje-ke bafese bahlala phambi kwami.

² Ilizwi lakaSomnini lafika kimi lathi:

³ “Ndodana yomuntu, khuluma ebaphathini bakwa-Israyeli uthi kibo, ‘Nakhu okutjhiwo nguSomnini uSomandla: Nize kobana nizokubuza kimi na? Ngiyafunga ngokuphila kwami, angeze ngabuzwa ngini!’ Kutjho uSomnini uSomandla.

⁴ Ndodana yomuntu, bagwebe, iye, bagwebe: Bazise ngeenkghabhudlho zaboyise.

⁵ Uthi kibo, ‘Nakhu okutjhiwo nguSomnini uSomandla: Mhlana ngikhetha u-Israyeli, ngafunga esizukulwaneni sendlu kaJakopo, iye, ngazazisa kibo enarheni yeGibhide ngathi nginguSomnini uZimenu.

⁶ Iye, mhlokho ngafunga kibo bonyana ngizabakhupha enarheni yeGibhide ngibase enarheni engabafunela yona, inarha egeleza ibisi neliju, ekuyinarha ehle kunazo zoke.

⁷ Ngabuye ngathi kibo: Omunye nomunye wenu akalahle izinto ezinyenyisako eninamatheze amehlwenu kizo begodu ningazisilaphazi ngamanyala okubosingazimu beGibhide ngombana mina Somnini nginguZimenu.

⁸ Kodwana bangihlubuka, akhange bafune ukungilalela. Omunye nomunye wabo akhange alahle iinyenyiso anamatheze amehlwakhe kizo, namkha afulathele amanyala weGibhide. “ ‘Nje-ke ngazitjela bona ngizokuthululela itukuthelwami phezu kwabo; iye, ngivuthele ilaka lami kibo enarheni yeGibhide.

⁹ Kodwana ngaqunta ukwenza okuthileko ngenca yebizo lami ukuze lingasilaphazwa emehlweni wezizwe ebebahlala phakathi kwazo: Ngizabakhupha eGibhide kobana ngizazise kibo phambi kwezizwe.

¹⁰ Nje-ke, ngabakhupha enarheni yeGibhide ngabaletha erhalawumbeni.

¹¹ Ngabanikela iimiso zami bengabazisa imithethwami ukuze abantu bayigcine bese baphila ngayo.

¹² Ngaphezu kwalokho ngabanikela namaSabatha wami kobana abe liphawu phakathi kwabo nami ukuze bazi bonyana mina Somnini ngiyabacwengisa.

¹³ Kodwana indlu yakwa-Israyeli yangihlubuka erhalawumbeni. Akhange bakhambe ngeemiso zami, badela imithethwami, ekufuze abantu bayigcine, baphile ngayo. AmaSabatha wami wona bawasilaphaza kokuwasilaphaza. “ ‘Nje-ke ngazitjela bona ngizokuthululela itukuthelwami phezu kwabo ukuze ngibaphelise erhalawumbeni.

¹⁴ Kodwana ngaqunta ukwenza okuthileko ngenca yebizo lami ukuze lingasilaphazwa emehlweni wezizwe engabakhupha zibaqalile.

¹⁵ Iye, ngafunga kibo erhalawumbeni bonyana angeze ngisabangenisa enarheni engabapha yona, inarha egeleza ibisi neliju, ekuyinarha ehle kunazo zoke.

¹⁶ Ngakwenza lokho ngebanga lokobana badele imithethwami begodu akhange bakhambe eemisweni zami, babuya basilaphaza namaSabatha wami nokobana ihliziywabo beyidlhemadlhema ngemva kwamanyala okubosingazimu babo.

¹⁷ Khonapho amehlwami abababalela, akhange ngibarhayile namkha ngibaphelise erhalawumbeni.’

¹⁸ “Kodwana ngathi ebantwaneni babo erhalawumbeni, ‘Ningakhambi ngeemiso zaboyihlo, ningalondi imithethwabo begodu ningazisilaphazi ngamanyala okubosingazimu babo.

¹⁹ Mina Somnini nginguZimenu; khambani ngeemiso zami bese nilonde benenze imithethwami.

²⁰ Cwengisani amaSabatha wami ukuze abe liphawu phakathi kwami nani, kobana nazi bonyana mina Somnini nginguZimenu.

²¹ Kodwana abantwababo bangihlubuka! Akhange bakhambe ngeemiso zami begodu azange balonde bebenze imithethwami, imithetho okumele abantu bayigcine baphile ngayo. Babuya basilaphaza namaSabatha wami. “ ‘Nje-ke ngazitjela bona ngizokuthululela itukuthelwami phezu kwabo; iye, ngivuthele ilaka lami kibo erhalawumbeni.

²² Kodwana ngazibamba, ngenza lokho ngebanga lebizo lami ukuze lingasilaphazwa emehlweni wezizwe, engabakhupha zibaqalile.

²³ Iye, ngafunga kibo erhalawumbeni bonyana ngizabahlakaza hlangana nezizwe, ngibasabalalise eenarheni

²⁴ nakube abagcini imithethwami, badele iimiso zami bebasilaphaze namaSabatha wami begodu baqalise amehlwabo emanyaleni okubosingazimu baboyisemkhulu.

²⁵ Ngizabanikelela emikhubeni engakalungi nezenzweni abangekhe baphile ngazo.

²⁶ Ngizabasilaphaza ngezipho zabo, iye, ngokutjhisa amazibulwabo woke emlilweni. Ngizakwenza lokho kobana bakhene bebazi bonyana mina nginguSomnini.’

²⁷ “Ngalokho, ndodana yomuntu, khuluma endlini yakwa-Israyeli uthi kiyo, ‘Nakhu okutjhiwo nguSomnini uSomandla: Khonapho aboyihlo bangihlambalaza ngokungathembeki ngezenzo zabo.

²⁸ Lokha nangibangenisa enarheni engafunga kobana ngibanikele yona, bakhamba bafuna zoke iindunduma nemithi enamakari benza lapho imihlatjelwabo. Iye, baletha lapho iminikelwabo eyangithukuthelisako; khonapho babeka amatjhwalo wabo bebathulula neminikelwabo yokuselwako.

²⁹ Ngababuza bona iyini indunduma leyo kobana bangabeze baye kiyo.’ (Ngalokho indawo leyo ibizwa bonyana yindunduma bekube namhlanjesi).

³⁰ “Ngalokho yithi endlini ka-Israyeli, ‘Nakhu okutjhiwo nguSomnini uSomandla: Kutjho bona nani nizazisilaphaza njengaboyihlomkhulu ngokudlhemadlhema ngemva kweenyenyiso zabo na?

³¹ Iye, lokha naninikela izipho zenu ngokutjhisa abantwabenu emlilweni, nizisilaphaza ngamanyalenu okubosingazimu bekube namhlanje. Nitjho bona ngizakubuzwa ngini, nina ndlu yakwa-Israyeli na? Ngiyafunga ngokuphila kwami, angeze ngabuzwa ngini!’ Kutjho uSomnini uSomandla.

³² “ ‘Lokho okusemikhumbulweni yenu akusoze kwenzeka, okutjho umcabango wokuthi, nifuna ukufana nezizwe, nibe njengabantu bamaphasi, nilotjhe isigodo nelitje.

³³ Ngiyafunga ngokuphila kwami, ngesandla esinamandla, ngesiphanga nangelaka lami elithululiweko, ngizokubusa phezu kwenu.’ Kutjho uSomnini uSomandla.

³⁴ ‘Iye, ngesandla esinamandla, ngesiphanga nangelaka lami elithululiweko ngizonikhupha hlangana nabantu, nginibuthe eenarheni enihlakazekele kizo.

³⁵ Ngizonisa erhalawumbeni labezizwe, khonapho ngigwebane nani ubuso nobuso.

³⁶ Njengombana ngagwebana naboyihlomkhulu erhalawumbeni lenarha yeGibhide, ngokunjalo ngizogwebana nani.’ Kutjho uSomnini uSomandla.

³⁷ ‘Ngizonenza nidlule ngaphasi kwedondolo, iye, ngizoningenisa ngaphasi kwesibopho sesivumelwano.

³⁸ Ngizokuhlunga phakathi kwenu amahlubuka nalabo abaphambeka kimi. Ngizobakhupha enarheni abathunjwe kiyo, kodwana angekhe bangena enarheni yakwa-Israyeli. Nje-ke nizakwazi bonyana nginguSomnini.

³⁹ “ ‘Nakungini nina ndlu yakwa-Israyeli, nakhu okutjhiwo nguSomnini uSomandla: Omunye nomunye wenu akakhambe ayokulotjha amanyala okubosingazimu bakhe nakube ngitjho nemva kwalokhu anifuni ukungilalela. Kodwana ibizo lami elicwengileko angekhe nisalisilaphaza ngezipho nangamanyalenu

⁴⁰ ngombana phezu kwentaba yami ecwengileko, iye, phezu kwentaba ephakamileko yakwa-Israyeli lapho yoke indlu yakwa-Israyeli, izangilotjha ndawonye.’ Kutjho uSomnini uSomandla. ‘Lapho-ke ngizabamukela begodu khonapho ngizakufuna iminikelo yenu, izipho zenu ezisibiko nayo yoke iminikelwenu ecwengileko.

⁴¹ Njengomnikelo owamukelekako kuSomnini, ngizanamukela lokha nanginikhupha hlangana nabantu nalokha nanginibuthelela eenarheni lapha nihlakazekele khona begodu ngizazibonakalisa ngicwengile phambi kwezizwe ngani.

⁴² Ngalokho nizakwazi bonyana nginguSomnini, lokha nanginingenisa enarheni yakwa-Israyeli, inarha engafunga bonyana ngizayinikela aboyihlomkhulu.

⁴³ Lapho-ke nizakukhumbula iindlela nazo zoke izenzo zenu enazisilaphaza ngazo; nizinyenye ngobumbi boke enibenzileko

⁴⁴ begodu nizakwazi bonyana nginguSomnini lokha nangisebenza ngani ngebanga lebizo lami, ingasi ngokweendlela zenu ezimbi namkha ngokwezenzo zenu ezonakeleko, nina ndlu yakwa-Israyeli.’ Kutjho uSomnini uSomandla.”

Umlilo ngesewula yenarha yakwa-Israyeli

⁴⁵ Godu ilizwi lakaSomnini lafika kimi lathi:

⁴⁶ “Ndodana yomuntu, qalisa ubuso bakho ngesewula, utjhumayele ngokujamelana nenarha engesewula bewuphorofide ngokuqalana nenarha enehlathi ngesewula.

⁴⁷ Yewuthi ehlathini langesewula, ‘Lalela ilizwi lakaSomnini, iye, nakhu okutjhiwo nguSomnini uSomandla: Qala, sele ngizokuthungelela umlilo kuwe. Wona uzokuqothula yoke imithi ehlaza kuwe kanye neyomileko. Amalangabi abhebhedlhako angeze acimeka; boke ubuso kusukela esewula ukuya etlhagwini buzakurhabulwa ngiwo.

⁴⁸ Boke abantu bazakubona bonyana mina Somnini ngiwuphembile, angeze wacinywa.’ ”

⁴⁹ Nje-ke ngathi: “Awu, Somnini Somandla, abantu bathi kimi, ‘Umuntu lo uhlala asakhuluma imifanekiso kwaphela!’ ”
