¹ Loyo losakatekako unyukela nine. Gadzani emabondza elidolobha, nibuke umugwaco, nilungisele imphi, nihlanganise kanye kanye emandla enu. ² Ngoba Simakadze ubuyisela bukhulu baJakobe, njenge bukhulu baIsrayeli, tigebengu kepha batashaca taphindze tabhubhisa emagala etivandze tabo. ³ Tihlangu temadvodza lanemandla tibovu, futsi nemasotja agcoke timphahla letibovu lomanyako; tinkalishi timanyata ngeti nsimbi tato ngalelilanga lesetivele takhiwe kilo, futsi tikhali tesihlahla lesilungela kwakha tikhali temphi timbhimba emoyeni. ⁴ Tinkalishi tigijima etitaladini; baya emuva nase mbili etitalaini letivulekile. Bafanana nema Toshi, futsi bagijimisa kwemubane. ⁵ Loyo lotanihliphita nibe tincetu ubita baphatsi bakhr, bahamba etukwa labanye nabasa hamba, bajake kuhlasela titsa tabo. Sihlangu lesikhulu silungele kuvikela labahlaseli. ⁶ Emasango emufuleni avulwa ngenkhani, sigodlo siyawa ke sibhubhe. ⁷ Huzzabhi umukwa timphahla takhe bese tiyatsatfwa; basebenti bakhe laba sikati batamula njenge matuba, bashaya tifuba tabo. ⁸ Ninive igeleta umfula wemanti, bantfu bakhe bayabaleka njenge manti lagijimako. Labanye baya memeta, ''Mani, mani,'' kepha kute lobuka emuva. ⁹ Tsatsa lisiliva, lelisabalele, ligolide lelisabalele, ngoba kute siphetfo saloku, etintfweni letinhle tase Ninive. ¹⁰ Ninive iyagobhota futsi yonakele. Tinhlitiyo tawonkhe muntfu tiya ncibilika, emadvolo awonkhe muntfu ayashayisana, kusha kuku wonkhe muntfu; buso babo buhhwabile. ¹¹ Lapho khona nyalo sekungu mugodzi wemabhubesi, indzawo lapho khona kudla emabhubesi lamancane, indzawo lapho khona kuhamba libhubesi lelidvuna nalelisikati, nalamancane, lapho khona bebangasabi lutfo khona? ¹² Libhubesi laniphita labahluku betekile labenta bbaa macetu lentela bantfwabalo; abekhama labahlushwa takhe etentela libhubesi lwelisikati, waphindze wagcwalisa umugedze wakhe ngalaba titsa, umugodzi wakhe ugcwele tilwane letihlindziwe. ¹³ Bona, ngimelelane nawe-nguloku lokushiwo ngu Simakadze wemabandla. Ngitawushisa tinkalishi tenu entfutfwini, futsi nenkemba itawudla mabhubesi lamancane enu. Ngitawujuba tilwane lenitidlako eveni, futsi nelive leba layeti benu angeke lisavakala.''
