1Lalelani ilizwi lakaSomnini nina ma-Israyeli ngombana uSomnini unesililo ngezakhamuzi zenarha le: “Ngebanga lokobana akusenakwethembeka, neqiniso, nelwazi ngoZimu enarheni,

2sekwande ukunikelelana, amanga nokubulala, ukweba nobungwadla. Baphalaza iingazi phezu kweengazi.

3Ngebanga lalokhu inarha iyomelela. Zoke izakhamuzi ziyadana, neembandana zommango neenyoni zezulu; ngitjho neenhlambi zitjhelwa mamanzi.”

4“Iye, umuntu akukafaneli bonyana asasuke amangalele omunye ngokumsola, kodwana isigungu sakho wena mphristi, sijamelene nami.

5Wena mphristi, uzokuwa namhlanjesi nabaphorofidi bakho bazokuwa nawe ebusuku banamhlanje, nonyoko ngizombhubhisa.

6Abantu bami bayabhubha ngokutlhoga ilwazi. Ngebanga lokobana wale ilwazi, nami ngiyakulandula awusimphristami; ngebanga lokobana unina umthetho kaZimu, nami ngizokunina abantwabakho.”

7“Ngokwanda kwabaphristi, kunjalo nokwanda kokona kwabo kimi. Ngizakuphendula ukuhlonitjhwa kwabo kube kurhubutjhwa.

8Bazondla ngezono zabantu bami, bathokoziswa kukonakala kwabo.

9Kuzose kufane, okwenzeka ebantwini kuzakwenzeka nebaphristini. Ngizokuhlunguphaza abaphristi ngebanga leendlela zabo. Ngibabethe ngentongabo:

10Badlile, kodwana asoze basutha; bangwadlile, kodwana asoze bande. ngebanga lokobana abaphristi batjhiye uSomnini,

11bazinikele ebungwadleni, isitjhidela nehlama yewayini, kufiphaze imikhumbulwabo.

12Ngebangelo-ke abantu bami sese babuza indlela esithombeni esibaziweko, amadondolwabo abakhombe indlela. Ngebanga lokobana ummoya wobungwadla uphambukise abaphristi, nangebanga lokutjhiya uZimabo ngobungwadla, ngikho

13benza umhlabelo esiqongolweni seentaba, batjhise itjhwalo emibundwini ngaphasi kwemithi emikhulu, lapha kunomthunzi omnandi khona. Ngebanga lezenzo zabezo, amadodakazenu azinikelele ngobungwadla nabomalukazana benu bayahlobonga.

14Angizokuhlunguphaza amadodakazenu lokha nazinikelela ngobungwadla nabomalukazana benu nabahlobongako ngombana abapristaba bandinda neengwadla bebenze nemihlabelo neentjhatjha zethempeli. Abantu abangayeleliko bazakubhubha

15kanye neengwadla. Nina, ma-Israyeli, nawe Juda ningaziboni umlandu. Ningayi eGiligali, ningenyukeli eBhethe-Aveni. Ningafungi nihle nithi: ‘Sifunga uSomnini ophilako’.”

16Ngambala, ama-Israyeli anekani kadumbana. Alo-ke, uSomnini angawelusa njani njengezimvu nazidla emrhuleni?

17U-Efrayimu uzihlanganise neenthombe ezibunjiweko. Akathuwelele!

18Nasele basele, balala nengwadla. Bathokozela ikohlakalo yayo.

19Isiwuruwuru sizobawundula, bebakakamale nemihlabelwabo leyo.
