| 1. | Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi, |
| 2. | Nyana womntu, kwakukho abafazi ababini, iintombi zamfazi mnye. |
| 3. | Bahenyuza eYiputa, bahenyuza besebancinane; acofelwa khona amabele abo; zaphathwa khona iingono zamabele zobuntombi babo. |
| 4. | Amagama abo ke nguNtente-yakhe omkhulu kubo, noNtente-yam-kuye umsakwabo; baba ngabam, bazala oonyana neentombi. Amagama abo nguSamari uNtente-yakhe, yiYerusalem uNtente-yam-kuye. |
| 5. | UNtente-yakhe wahenyuza engumkam, watshiswa kukukhanuka izithandane zakhe, ama-Asiriya, umelwane lwakhe: |
| 6. | abavethe iingubo ezimsi, amabamba neerhuluneli, amadodana aluluhle onke ephela, abamahashe bekhwele emahasheni. |
| 7. | Wakubhekisela kubo ukuhenyuza kwakhe, koonyana baseAsiriya abaluluhle bonke bephela; wathi abo bonke abetshiseka kukubakhanuka, wazenza inqambi ngezigodo zabo. |
| 8. | Akakuyeka nokuhenyuza kwakhe kwaseYiputa; ngokuba ebuncinaneni bakhe babelala naye, baziphathe iingono zamabele zobuntombi bakhe bona; bathululele ubufebe babo phezu kwakhe. |
| 9. | Ngako oko ndamnikela esandleni sezithandane zakhe, esandleni soonyana baseAsiriya, abo abetshiseka kukubakhanuka. |
| 10. | Bona babutyhila ubuze bakhe, bathabatha oonyana bakhe neentombi zakhe, bambulala ngekrele; waba ngundaba-mlonyeni kubafazi, bamgweba. |
| 11. | Wakubona oko umsakwabo, uNtente-yam-kuye, waba mandundu kunaye ukutshiseka kwakhe kukukhanuka, kwaba mandundu ukuhenyuza kwakhe kunokuhenyuza kodade wabo. |
| 12. | Watshiseka kukubakhanuka oonyana baseAsiriya, amabamba, neerhuluneli, umelwane lwakhe, abavethe ezimbejembeje; abamahashe bekhwele emahasheni, amadodana aluluhle onke ephela. |
| 13. | Ndabona ukuba uzenze inqambi, bandlela-nye bobabini. |
| 14. | Wongeza ekuhenyuzeni kwakhe; wabona amadoda ezotywe eludongeni, imifanekiso yamaKaledi ezotywe ngeqabo elibomvu, |
| 15. | enxibe iinqwemesha ezinqeni, eneenkontsho ezimfakamfele ezintloko, ebonakala engabaphathi-mikhosi onke ephela, efana noonyana baseBhabheli, belamaKaledi, izwe lokuzalwa kwabo. |
| 16. | Watshiseka kukuwakhanuka, amehlo akhe akuwabona; wathuma abathunywa kwelamaKaledi. |
| 17. | Beza ke kuye oonyana baseBhabheli esililini sokuncokolisa, bamenza inqambi ngobufebe babo; wazenza inqambi ngabo; wancothuka kubo umphefumlo wakhe. |
| 18. | Wakutyhila ukuhenyuza kwakhe, wabutyhila ubuze bakhe, wancothuka ke umphefumlo wam kuye, njengoko umphefumlo wam wancothukayo kumsakwabo. |
| 19. | Wongeza ke ukuhenyuza kwakhe, ngokukhumbula imihla yobuncinane bakhe, awahenyuza ngayo ezweni leYiputa. |
| 20. | Watshiseka kukuwakhanuka amakrexe akhe, anyama ziziinyama zamaesile, amakhanuko awo angamakhanuko amahashe. |
| 21. | Wamana ukhumbula amanyala obuncinane bakho, oko amaYiputa abephathe iingono zamabele akho, ngenxa yamabele obuncinane bakho. |
| 22. | Ngako oko, Ntente-yam-kuye, itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabona, ndikuxhokonxela izithandane zakho, ezo uncothukileyo kuzo umphefumlo wakho; ndizizise phezu kwakho, zivela ngeenxa zonke: |
| 23. | oonyana baseBhabheli namaKaledi onke, abaveleli, izikhulu, iinduna, benoonyana bonke baseAsiriya, amadodana aluluhle, amabamba neerhuluneli, bonke bephela, nabaphathi-mikhosi, namaphakathi, bengabakhweli bamahashe bonke bephela. |
| 24. | Baya kukufikela benezikhali, neenqwelo zokulwa, neevili, benesikhungu sezizwe; babhekise kuwe iingweletshetshe namakhaka nezigcina-ntloko ngeenxa zonke. Ndolunikela kubo ugwebo, ukuba bakugwebe ngokwamasiko abo, |
| 25. | ndikunikele ebukhweleni bam, bakuphathe ngobushushu. Baya kususa impumlo yakho neendlebe zakho, nento yakho eseleyo iwe likrele. Bona baya kuthabatha oonyana bakho neentombi zakho; nento yakho eseleyo itshiswe ngumlilo; |
| 26. | bakuhlube iingubo zakho, bazithabathe iimpahla zakho zokuhomba. |
| 27. | Ndowaphelisa amanyala akho nokuhenyuza kwakho kwasezweni laseYiputa, ungabi sawaphakamisela amehlo akho kuwo, ungabi salikhumbula elaseYiputa. |
| 28. | Ngokuba itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabona, ndiya kukunikela esandleni sabo ubathiyileyo, esandleni sabo uncothukileyo kubo umphefumlo wakho. |
| 29. | Baya kukuphatha ngentiyo, bathabathe konke ukuxelenga kwakho, bakushiye uze kanye, butyhileke ubuze bokuhenyuza kwakho, namanyala akho, nokuhenyuza kwakho. |
| 30. | Kuya kwenzeka oko kuwe, ngenxa yokuhenyuza kwakho ekulandeleni iintlanga, ngenxa enokuba uzenze inqambi ngezigodo zazo. |
| 31. | Uhambe ngendlela yomsakwenu; ndoyinikela ke indebe yakhe esandleni sakho. |
| 32. | Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Uya kuyisela indebe yomsakwenu, yona leyo inzulu, ibanzi; iya kuba yintlekisa nesigculelo, ngokuba inombilini omkhulu. |
| 33. | Uya kuzala kukunxila nasisingqala; yindebe yakwankangala kankangala indebe yodade wenu uSamari. |
| 34. | Uya kuyisela ke, uyifince, uwaqobe amagophe ayo, uzijece ngawo amabele; ngokuba ndithethile, itsho iNkosi uYehova. |
| 35. | Ngako oko itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ngenxa enokuba undilibele, wandiphosa emva komhlana wakho, uya kuwathwala nokuwathwala amanyala akho nokuhenyuza kwakho. |
| 36. | Wathi uYehova kum, Nyana womntu, uza kubagweba na ooNtente-yakhe noNtente-yam-kuye? Baxelele ke amasikizi abo. |
| 37. | Ngokuba bakrexezile, izandla zabo zinegazi; bakrexezene nezigodo zabo; kananjalo oonyana babo, ababazalela mna, babacandisele kuzo, ukuba batshiswe ngumlilo. |
| 38. | Babuye benza noku kum: bayenze inqambi ingcwele yam kwangayo loo mini, bazihlambela iisabatha zam; |
| 39. | bakuzisikela izigodo zabo oonyana babo, bangena ke engcweleni yam kwangayo loo mini, ukuze bayihlambele; yabona benjenjalo endlwini yam phakathi. |
| 40. | Phezu koko bathumele kumadoda avela kude, kwathunyelwa kuwo umthunywa; yabona, afika; wona lawo wazihlambayo umzimba ngenxa yawo, waziqaba amehlo ngomsizi, wavathela wona izivatho zakho; |
| 41. | wahlala esingqengqelweni esinobuqaqawuli, alungiselwa isithebe phambi kwaso, wabeka ke kuso isiqhumiso sam neoli yam. |
| 42. | Izwi lengxokolo latyondyoloza khona. Kumadoda aseluninzini loluntu kwaziswa abaseli basentlango, babafaka izacholo ezihlahleni zabo, nezithsaba zokuhomba ezintlokweni zabo. |
| 43. | Ndathi ke kulowo oselehagele ekukrexezeni, Ngokunje uhenyuzo lwakhe luya kukrexeza, lona ngokwalo. |
| 44. | Bamngena ke njengoko kungenwa ngako kumfazi olihenyukazi: benjenjalo ukumngena uNtente-yakhe, noNtente-yam-kuye, abo bafazi banamanyala. |
| 45. | Ke amadoda angamalungisa, wona ke aya kubagweba ngokwesiko labakrexezikazi, nangokwesiko labaphalazi begazi; ngokuba bengabakrexezikazi, zinegazi izandla zabo. |
| 46. | Ngokuba itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ndiya kubanyusela ibandla, ndibanikele ekunqakulweni nasekuphangweni; |
| 47. | ibandla libaxulube ngamatye, libasike ngamakrele alo. Liya kubabulala oonyana babo neentombi zabo, lizitshise izindlu zabo; |
| 48. | ndiwaphelise amanyala ezweni, bathethiseke abafazi bonke, bangenzi ngokwamanyala enu. |
| 49. | Baya kuwabeka ke amanyala enu phezu kwenu, nizithwale izono zezigodo zenu; nazi ukuba ndiyiNkosi uYehova. |
