Kuwa kweNineve

¹ Nasi sitsa sikuhlasela, Nineve! Lindzani tinqaba, nicaphele imigwaco; tilungiseleleni. Bambanani ngemandla enu!

² Simakadze utawubuyisela ludvumo lwakaJakobe njengeludvumo lwaka-Israyeli, nome nje babhubhisi sebabacekele phansi babhubhisa netihlahla tabo temagelebisi.

³ Emahawu emabutfo etitsa abovu, emabutfo avunule lokubovu ngalobutopele, tinsimbi letisetincoleni temphi tiyamanyatela ngelilanga lekulungiswa kwato; tikhali tawo tiyamengetela.

⁴ Tincola tawo temphi tijubalata etitaladini, tehla tiyenyuka nelidolobha. Tifanana netidlwane letivutsako, tigijime, tiklwebhe njengembane.

⁵ Kuhlanganiswa emabutfo aseNineve elikhetselo. Noko ayakhubatela endleleni yawo. Agijima aye elubondzeni lwelidolobha, tivikelo tiyemiswa.

⁶ Emasango emifula ayavuleka, sigodlo siyabhidlika.

⁷ Kushaywa umtsetfo wekutsi lelidolobha alidzingiswe lisuswe lapha. Emantfombatana akhona latigcili adzindza sililo; adzindza sililo atikhalela.

⁸ Njengesitiba semanti, injalo neNineve; bantfu bayo bayabaleka kuyo, banjengemanti lageleta esuka esitibeni sawo. Bamemeta batsi: “Manini! Manini!” Kodvwa kute ngisho namunye lobanakako.

⁹ Phangani isiliva! Phangani igolide! Imphango yinyenti kakhulu, nengcebo isuke kuyo yonkhe imigodzi yayo.

¹⁰ INineve seyiyabhujiswa, iphangiwe, ihlutjuliwe. Tinhlitiyo tiyancibilika, emadvolo ayaceka, imitimba iyatfutfumela, bonkhe buso buyaphaphatseka.

¹¹ Seliphi-ke nyalo lelidolobha lebelingumhume wemabhubesi, indzawo lapho abebondlela khona bantfwabawo, lapho emabhubesi lamadvuna nalamasikati abeshangashanga khona, nebantfwabawo awakhulisela khona, angesabi lutfo?

¹² Libhubesi litingele tinyamatane, letenele kondla bantfwabalo kanye nemkalo, ligcwalise sikhundla salo ngetinyamatane, lihlohle nemgodzi walo ngalelikutingele.

¹³ Simakadze longuSomandla utsi: “Mine ngiphambene nawe, Nineve. Tincola takho temphi ngitatishisa tibe yintfutfu, inkemba itawudla emazinyane akho elibhubesi, anginakushiyela nyamatane emhlabeni. Emavi etitfunywa takho angeke aphindze evakale.”
