4 Naku lokunye, ikhona yini inkinga leninayo nami,

Wena Thire nawe Sidoni kanye nato tonkhe tifundza temaFilisti?

Nangabe nitiphindziselela,

Nitawubhadala ngekuphila kwenu* ngekushesha nangekuphutfuma lokukhulu.+

‘“Ngekuvukela kweGaza+ kwesitsatfu kanye nekwesine, angeke ngikushintje loko lengikuncumile,

Ngobe batsatsa sicumbi sebantfu labatfunjiwe+ basinikela kubaka-Edomu.

 7 Ngako ngitawutfumela umlilo elubondzeni lwaseGaza,+

Futsi utawushisa imibhoshongo yakhona levikelekile.

 8 Ngitawubabhubhisa bantfu labahlala e-Ashdodi,+

Ngibhubhise naloyo lobusa* e-Ashkeloni;+

Ngitawumelana ne-Ekroni,+

Futsi emaFilisti lasele atawubhujiswa,”+ kusho iNkhosi Lephakeme Jehova.’

 4 IGaza itawuba lidolobha lelilahliwe;

Futsi i-Ashkeloni itawubhujiswa.+

I-Ashdodi itawucoshwa emini libalele,

Futsi i-Ekroni itawusishulwa.+

 5 I-Ashkeloni itakubona loku futsi yesabe;

IGaza itawuva buhlungu lobukhulu,

Ne-Ekroni itawuva buhlungu lobukhulu, ngobe loyo lebeyetsembele kuye utawuhlazeka.

IGaza angeke isaba nenkhosi,

Futsi kute umuntfu lotawuhlala e-Ashkeloni.+
