10 Maye kulabo labashaya imitsetfo leyingoti,+
Labahlale babhala imitsetfo lecindzetelako,
2 Kute babangele kutsi indzaba yeluphuya ledzinga umtsetfo ingakhulunywa,
Kute bente kutsi umuntfu lophansi angehlulelwa kahle,+
Batsatsa tintfo tebafelokati
4 Kute leningakwenta ngaphandle kwekutsi nikhase emkhatsini wetiboshwa
Nome nibulawelwe emkhatsini walababulewe ngesibhuku.
Ngenca yako konkhe loko, intfukutselo yakhe ayikabuyeli emuva,
Kodvwa sandla sakhe solo selulekile kuze sibhubhise.+
5 “Hawu! Um-Asiriya,+
Uyintfonga yekukhipha intfukutselo yami+
Nendvuku layiphetse yekukhipha sehlulelo sami!
6 Ngitamtfumela kutsi ayohlasela sive lesihlubukile,+
Ahlasele bantfu labangitfukutselisile;
Ngitamtjela nekutsi atitsatsele tintfo letinyenti nakayohlasela
Aphindze abagcobagcobe njengeludzaka etitaladini.+
7 Kodvwa angeke ente ngalendlela
Futsi inhlitiyo yakhe angeke yakhe lisu ngalendlela;
Ngobe kubhubhisa kusenhlitiyweni yakhe,
Kutsi acotfule tive letinyenti, hhayi nje letimbalwa.
8 Ngobe utsi,
‘Tonkhe tindvuna tami atisiwo yini emakhosi?+
9 IKhalino+ ayifani yini ncamashi neKhakhemishi?+
IHamathi+ ayifani yini ne-Aphadi?+
ISamariya+ ayifani yini neDamaseko?+
10 Sandla sami sibambe imibuso yabonkulunkulu labangenamsebenti,
Labo labanetithico letibatiwe lebetitinyenti kunetaseJerusalema netaseSamariya!+
11 Angeke yini mine ngikwente eJerusalema nasetithicweni tayo
Loko lengikwente eSamariya nasetithicweni tayo letingenamsebenti?’+
12 “Utawutsi Jehova nakacedza wonkhe umsebenti wakhe eNtsabeni iSiyoni naseJerusalema, bese ujezisa inkhosi yase-Asiriya ngenca yenhlitiyo yayo leyedzelelako, nekubukelana phansi kwayo lokuhambisana nekudvwala.+ 13 Ngobe yona itsi,
‘Loko ngitakwenta ngemandla esandla sami
Nangekuhlakanipha kwami, ngobe ngihlakaniphile.
Ngitawususa imincele yebantfu+
Ngiphindze ngiwutsatse ngenkhani umcebo wabo,+
Futsi ngitawuncoba labantfu njengaloyo lonemandla.+
14 Njengemuntfu lokhona kufika esidlekeni,
Sandla sami sitawutsatsa umcebo walabantfu;
Futsi njengemuntfu lobutsa emacandza lashiyiwe,
Ngitawuhlanganisa wonkhe umhlaba!
Kute lotawubhengutisa timphiko takhe nobe avule umlomo wakhe, nobe antjilote.’”
15 Lizembe lingatiphakamisa yini kuloyo lokabha ngalo?
Lisaha lingatiphakamisa yini kuloyo losaha ngalo?
Indvuku+ ingamjikitisa yini loyo loyiphetse?
Intfonga yona ingamphakamisa yini loyo longakentiwa ngesigodvo?
16 Ngako-ke, iNkhosi yeliciniso, Jehova wemabutfo,
Itawubangela kutsi labakhuluphele bakhe bondze,+
Futsi ngephansi kwenkhatimulo yakhe utawucala umlilo lohhehhako.+
17 KuKhanya kwaka-Israyeli+ kutawuba ngumlilo,+
Futsi Longcwele wakhona utawuba lilangabi;
Litawuvutsa lishise lukhula lwakhona netihlahla takhona letinemanyeva, ngelilanga linye.
18 Yena utayicedza nya inkhatimulo yelihlatsi lakhe nengadze yakhe;
Kutawufana nalapho umuntfu logulako sekondzile.+
19 Tihlahla letisele telihlatsi lakhe
Titawuba tincane kangangekutsi nemfana angatibala.
20 Ngalelolanga labo labatawube basele baka-Israyeli
Nalabatawusindza bendlu yaJakobe
Angeke basetsembela kuloyo lowabashaya;+
Kodvwa batawetsembela kuJehova,
Longcwele waka-Israyeli, ngekwetsembeka.
21 Kutawubuyela labasele kuphela,
Labasele entalelwaneni yaJakobe, babuyele kuNkulunkulu Lonemandla.+
22 Awu Israyeli, ngisho naloku bantfu bakho
Babanyenti ngangesihlabatsi saselwandle,
Ngulabo labasele kuphela labatawubuya.+
23 Kunjalo nje! Lokubhubhisa kuncunywe yiNkhosi Lephakeme, Jehova wemabutfo,
Kutakwenteka kulo lonkhe lelive.+
24 Ngako-ke, naku lokushiwo yiNkhosi Lephakeme, Jehova wemabutfo: “Ningesabi bantfu bami, nine lenihlala eSiyoni, ningamesabi um-Asiriya lobekavame kunishaya ngendvuku+ futsi aniphakamisele intfonga yakhe njengobe bekwenta iGibhithe.+ 25 Ngobe ngesikhashana nje kunilahla kwami ngelicala kutawuphela; intfukutselo yami itawubabhubhisa.+ 26 Jehova wemabutfo utamshaya ngesiswebhu sakhe,+ njengalesikhatsi ancoba Midiyani ngasedvwaleni i-Orebi.+ Intfonga yakhe itawuba setikwelwandle futsi utayiphakamisa njengobe enta eGibhithe.+
27 Ngalelolanga umtfwalo wakhe utawusuka emahlombe akho,+
Lijoka lakhe lisuke entsanyeni yakho+
Futsi lelijoka litakwephuka+ ngenca yemafutsa.”
30 Memeta ukhale, wena ndvodzakati yaseGalimu!
Nakisisa wena Layisha!
Ngivelana nawe, wena Anathothi!+
31 IMadmena ibalekile.
Bantfu baseGebimu bafune indzawo yekukhosela.
32 Kulelilanga lalamuhla utakuma eNobi.+
Ujikitisa sibhakela sakhe entsabeni yendvodzakati yaseSiyoni,
Ligcuma laseJerusalema.
33 INkhosi yeliciniso, Jehova wemabutfo,
Ijuba emagala ngendlela leyesabekako;+
Tihlahla letindze kakhulu tiyagawulwa,
Letiphakeme tiyehliswa.
34 Ugawula tihlahla letikulelihlatsi ngelithulusi lensimbi,*
ILebanoni itawuwiswa ngulonemandla.
