¹ Nako kini edolobheni leligcwele ingati! Lonkhe ligcwele emanga kanye netintfo tekwebiwa; labahlukubetekile bahlalala bakuye. ² Kepha nyalo kunemsindvo wemaswebhu nekuvakala kwemasondvo lashayisanako, umsindvo wemahhashi, kanye netinkalishi. ³ Kunebahlaseli labagibeli bemahhashi, tinkemba letivilitako, tikhali letimanyatelako, imitfwalo yetindvumbu, titaki letinkhulu temitimba. Kute siphefto kulemitimba; bahlaseli bato bagijima etikwato. ⁴ Loku kwenteka ngenca yaletento tenkhanuko yalengwandla lenhle, bongcongcoshe ebutsakatsini, labo labatsengisa sive ngebugwadla,kanye nebaftu ngenca yetento takhe tebutsakatsi. ⁵ Bona, ngimelene nawe-loku ngulokumenyetelwa nguSimakadze wetimanga-Ngitawuphakamisela siketi sakho emehlweni akho kukhombisa tive tintfo takho tangansense, lihlazo lakho emibusweni. ⁶ Ngitakutsela ngekungcola lokunyanyakako ngikwente unyanyeke; Nitawukwenta ube ngumutfu lotawubukwa nguwe wonkhe umuntfu. ⁷ Kutawufika lapho khona wonkhe umutfu lotakubuka akubalekele phindze atsi, 'INiniva ibhubhisiwe; ngubani lotamukhalela? 'Ngigamtfolaphi lotakudvudvuta?'' ⁸ Niniva umcoka yini kune Thebes, leyakhiwa yagegeletwa ngemanti, lelo bondze kwakulwandle, phindze lelwandle kwakulibondza lwakhe? ⁹ Cush neGibhithe kwakumandla akhe, phindze bekute siphetfo kuye; Put na Libya ngulatsatsisa kubo. ¹⁰ Bantfu baseThebes batsatfwa, baya kuyotfunjwa; batfwana bacotwa baba tincetu kuwo onkhe emadolobha; titsa takhe titawabela labakhulu banftu labatawuba tigcilatabo, bese labakululu baseThebes batawukhungwa ngemaketane. ¹¹ Bese utawuphindze udzakwe; utawuzama kubhaca, phindze utawubuka indzawo yekubhaca kubalekela titsa takhe. ¹² Sonkhe sigodlo senu sitawutamatanyiswa njengesihlahla lesinetitselo letivutsiwe: uma sitanyatanyiswa, titselo tiwela emlomeni wesidli. ¹³ Buka, labantfu emkhatsini wakho besifazane; emagede elive lakho sekavulelwe titsa takho; umlilo soshise tinkanankana temagede. ¹⁴ Hamba ugcine emanti lotawasebentisa uma titsa ttakho tigegeleta lelidolobha; cinisa sigodla sakho; hamba uye emhlabatsini ugubh ludzaka; wake titini. ¹⁵ Umlilo utawukwengama lapho, kanye nenkemba utakubulala.Itakugwinya njengentsetse lencane igwinya yonke intfo.Tenteni nibe banengi njengetintsetse letincane, banengi njenge tintsetse letikhulile. ¹⁶ Seniphindzaphindze batsengisi benu kwengca tinkhanyeti emazulwini; kepha bafana njenge tintsetse:batawtasatsa lelive bandizele khashane. ¹⁷ Tinkhosana tenu tinengi njengetintsetse letikhulile, nalabakhulu benu batawufana nemanti lamile emabondzeni nakumakhata. Kepha nangabe lilanga liphuma bayabaleka kute lowatiko kutsi uyaphi. ¹⁸ Nkhosi yase Assyria, balusi benu balele; baphatsi benu balele phansi bayaphumula. Bantfu benu basakatekile etintsabeni, futsi kute lokhona kubagcogca. Kute kuphiliswa lokungenteka emancebeni enu. ¹⁹ Emanceba enu amatima. Wonkhe lova tindzaba ngawe utawushaya tandla ngekujabula etikwakho. Ngubani lobalekele budlova bakho lobungakhawuli?
