¹ Naku-ke iNkhosi Simakadze lengibonise kona: Ngiyibone yenta lifu lesikhonyane ngesikhatsi nakuphela kuvunwa kwemabele enkhosi, nakucala kuhluma kwesibili.

Amose na-Amasiya

¹⁰ Amasiya, umphristi waseBetheli, watfumela sigijimi kuJerobowamu, inkhosi yaka-Israyeli, watsi: “Amose wakha luzungu ngawe embusweni waka-Israyeli. Live lingeke liwamele onkhe lamavi akhe.

¹¹ Ngobe naku lokushiwo nguAmose, utsi: “ ‘Jerobowamu utakufa ngenkemba, ema-Israyeli wona ngempela atawudzingiswa, esuswe eveni lawo lekutalwa.’ ”

¹² Amasiya wakhuluma ku-Amose, watsi: “Phuma, wena mboniswa. Buyela eveni lakaJuda. Hamba uyewuhlala khona usebentele kudla kwakho khona, uphrofethe khona.

¹³ Ungaphindzi uphrofethe lapha eBetheli, ngobe lena yindzawo lekutsiwa ingcwele yenkhosi, nelithempeli lembuso.”

¹⁴ Amose waphendvula Amasiya, watsi: “Angizange sengibe ngumphrofethi mine, ngisho nekuba ngumsa wemphrofethi nje. Kodvwa bengingumelusi nje, nanyalo ngisengumlimi wetihlahla temakhiwa.

¹⁵ Kodvwa Simakadze wangitsatsa ekweluseni kwami timvu, watsi kimi: ‘Hamba uyewuphrofetha esiveni sami, ema-Israyeli.’

¹⁶ Manje-ke vani livi laSimakadze. Wena watsi: “ ‘Ungaphrofethi lokumelene na-Israyeli. uyekele nekushumayela umelane nendlu ya-Isaka.’

¹⁷ “Ngako-ke naku lokushiwo nguSimakadze: “ ‘Umfati wakho uyawuba yingwadla yelidolobha; emadvodzana nemadvodzakati akho ayakufa ngenkemba. Emasimi akho atawulinganiswa, abelwe labanye; wena utakufa, ufele eveni lemahedeni. Israyeli, vele, yena utawutfunjwa, esuswe eveni lakhe lekutalwa.’ ”
