² Ubatjalile, nje-ke bayadzimelela; bayatlhurha bathele iinthelo. Uhlala usemlonyenabo kodwana ukude neenhliziyo zabo.

³ Wena Somnini uyangazi; uyangibona bese uzizinya imikhumbulwami ngawe. Bakhuphe njengezimvu eziyokuhlatjwa! Bahlukanisele ilanga lokuhlatjwa!

⁵ USomnini waphendula wathi: “Nakube uyadinwa nawugijima nabakhamba ngeenyawo, alo, ungaphalisana njani-ke neenjomani na? Nakube ukhutjwa enarheni ephephileko, uzakghona njani-ke ehlathini eliminyeneko elihlanu kweJordani na?

⁶ Abafowenu, ngitjho umndenakho nabo banamaqhinga ngawe; ngemva kwakho barhuwelela okumbi. Ungabakholwa lokha nabakhuluma kuhle ngawe.”

USomnini ulahle ilifa lakhe

⁷ “Ngadela ikumbami, ngalahla ilifa lami; nganikela engimthandako ezandleni zezitha zakhe.

⁸ Ilifa lami kimi selifana nebhubezi ngehlathini. Liyangirorela, ngalokho ngiyalinyenya.

⁹ Ilifa lami likukudla kwepisi namadlanga alibungelele. Khambani nibuthelele zoke iinlwana zommango, nizilethe ekurhiribideleni.

¹⁰ Abelusi abanengi batjhabalalise isidiribe sami, bagugude isabelo sami sesimu, benze bona isabelo sami esikarisako sibe libhudu lakobhudu.

¹¹ Iye, basenze ibhudu, ibhudwelo lalilela kimi. Yoke inarha ilibhudu kodwana akakho oyelelako.

¹² Kiyo yoke imizila yemilandelande erhalawumbeni kuza abatjhabalalisi ngombana isabula kaSomnini irhiribidela ukusukela ehlangothini lenarha ukuya kelinye. Ukuthula akukho ebantwini.

¹³ Batjala ikoroyi kodwana bavuna ameva, basebenza kabudisi kodwana bangazuza litho. Ngalokho bheselani ihlazo lesivuno senu ngebanga letukuthelo kaSomnini evuthako.”

¹⁴ Nakhu okutjhiwo nguSomnini: “Kibo boke abomakhelwana abakhohlakeleko abathinta ilifa engilinikele abantu bami u-Israyeli ngithi, ‘Qalani, ngizobaruthula eenarheni zabo, kodwana ngisuse ikumba kaJuda hlangana nabo.’

¹⁵ Ngemva kobana ngibaruthulile, ngizakubuye ngibe nomusa, ngibuyisele omunye nomunye wabo elifeni lakhe nenarheni yekhabo.

¹⁶ Nakube bafunda kuhle iindlela zabantu bami ukuze bafunge ngebizo lami bathi, ‘NgoSomnini ngiqinisile’ njengombana bafundise abantu bami kobana bafunge ngoBhali, khona-ke bazakunzinziswa hlangana nabantu bami.

¹⁷ Kodwana nakube izizwezi azilaleli, ngizaziruthula ngokupheleleko bengizibhubhise.” Kutjho uSomnini.
