UMIKHA 3 - IsiNdebele 2012 Translation

¹ Esiphorofidweni sabo ngaphendula ngathi: Lalelani, nina baphathi bakwaJakopo, nina babusi bekumba ka-Israyeli. Bekungakameli bonyana nazi imiyalo na?

² Kodwana nihloya ukulunga, nithanda ikohlakalo. Nirathula abantu bekhethu isikhumba nidabula inyamabo emathanjenabo.

³ Nihlinza abantu bekhethu, nigome inyamabo beniqobelele namathambabo abe ziinquqwana; kwanga niyowafaka kunomaturwana, iye, kwanga niyowafaka kugalaza.

⁴ Kuzakufika isikhathi lapha nizakubiza khona uSomnini, nokho akazoniphendula; uzanifulathela ngebanga lekohlakalo yenu.

⁵ Utjho nje uSomnini ngabaphorofidi abakhohlisa abantu bekhethu: “Nabaphiwa esinefutha baphorofida bathi ‘Nizakuba nokuthula’, kodwana umuntu nakangabaphi abakufunako, bayamlwisa.

⁶ Ngebangelo kuzakuhlwa kini barholi, beningasambulelwa; kube mnyama kini, beningasaphengula nabaphorofidi benwabo lizabatjhingela, bazakuphumbutha emini kwa bha.

⁷ Abaphorofidabo bazakuba neenhloni; izangoma zenu zitlhuwise. Boke bazakufihla ubuso babo ngombana uZimu angeze abaphendula.”

⁸ Kodwana mina ngizaliswe ngamandla, nangoMoya kaSomnini, ngokulunga nangegunya; kobana ngitjele uJakopo ngemitjhapho yakhe no-Israyeli ngezono zakhe.

⁹ Lalelani kuhle-ke nina baphathi bekumba kaJakopo, nani babusi bekumba ka-Israyeli, nina eninyenya ukulunga niphambanise koke okuhle:

¹⁰ IZiyoni seyisisazi sokuphalaza iingazi, iJerusalema seyisisazi sobukhohlakali.

¹¹ Abaphathi bakhona bagweba ngokudizelwa, abaphristi bakhona bafundisa ngokubhadelwa, nabaphorofidi bakhona baphorofidela imali. Bazisama ngoSomnini bathi: “Ngambala uSomnini uphakathi kwethu. Akunamatlhuwo angasehlela.”

¹² Nje-ke, ngebanga lenu, iZiyoni izakulinywa njengesimu, iJerusalema izakuba liqubi leququ, kuthi intatjana yethempela ibe lihlathi.
