¹ Lalelani ilizwi lakaSomnini nina ma-Israyeli ngombana uSomnini unesililo ngezakhamuzi zenarha le: “Ngebanga lokobana akusenakwethembeka, neqiniso, nelwazi ngoZimu enarheni,

² sekwande ukunikelelana, amanga nokubulala, ukweba nobungwadla. Baphalaza iingazi phezu kweengazi.

³ Ngebanga lalokhu inarha iyomelela. Zoke izakhamuzi ziyadana, neembandana zommango neenyoni zezulu; ngitjho neenhlambi zitjhelwa mamanzi.”

USomnini umangalela umphristi

⁴ “Iye, umuntu akukafaneli bonyana asasuke amangalele omunye ngokumsola, kodwana isigungu sakho wena mphristi, sijamelene nami.

⁵ Wena mphristi, uzokuwa namhlanjesi nabaphorofidi bakho bazokuwa nawe ebusuku banamhlanje, nonyoko ngizombhubhisa.

⁶ Abantu bami bayabhubha ngokutlhoga ilwazi. Ngebanga lokobana wale ilwazi, nami ngiyakulandula awusimphristami; ngebanga lokobana unina umthetho kaZimu, nami ngizokunina abantwabakho.”

USomnini ulemukisa abantu ngabaphristi

⁷ “Ngokwanda kwabaphristi, kunjalo nokwanda kokona kwabo kimi. Ngizakuphendula ukuhlonitjhwa kwabo kube kurhubutjhwa.

⁸ Bazondla ngezono zabantu bami, bathokoziswa kukonakala kwabo.

⁹ Kuzose kufane, okwenzeka ebantwini kuzakwenzeka nebaphristini. Ngizokuhlunguphaza abaphristi ngebanga leendlela zabo. Ngibabethe ngentongabo:

¹⁰ Badlile, kodwana asoze basutha; bangwadlile, kodwana asoze bande. ngebanga lokobana abaphristi batjhiye uSomnini,

¹¹ bazinikele ebungwadleni, isitjhidela nehlama yewayini, kufiphaze imikhumbulwabo.

¹² Ngebangelo-ke abantu bami sese babuza indlela esithombeni esibaziweko, amadondolwabo abakhombe indlela. Ngebanga lokobana ummoya wobungwadla uphambukise abaphristi, nangebanga lokutjhiya uZimabo ngobungwadla, ngikho

¹³ benza umhlabelo esiqongolweni seentaba, batjhise itjhwalo emibundwini ngaphasi kwemithi emikhulu, lapha kunomthunzi omnandi khona. Ngebanga lezenzo zabezo, amadodakazenu azinikelele ngobungwadla nabomalukazana benu bayahlobonga.

¹⁴ Angizokuhlunguphaza amadodakazenu lokha nazinikelela ngobungwadla nabomalukazana benu nabahlobongako ngombana abapristaba bandinda neengwadla bebenze nemihlabelo neentjhatjha zethempeli. Abantu abangayeleliko bazakubhubha

¹⁵ kanye neengwadla. Nina, ma-Israyeli, nawe Juda ningaziboni umlandu. Ningayi eGiligali, ningenyukeli eBhethe-Aveni. Ningafungi nihle nithi: ‘Sifunga uSomnini ophilako’.”

Ama-Israyeli anekani

¹⁷ U-Efrayimu uzihlanganise neenthombe ezibunjiweko. Akathuwelele!

¹⁸ Nasele basele, balala nengwadla. Bathokozela ikohlakalo yayo.

¹⁹ Isiwuruwuru sizobawundula, bebakakamale nemihlabelwabo leyo.
