1Ilizwi lakaSomnini elafika kuZefaniya umsa kaKutjhi, omsa kaGedaliya, umsa ka-Amariya, omsa kaHezekhiya, nakusabusa uJosiya, umsa ka-Amoni ikosi yakwaJuda.

2“Ngizakurhurhula yoke into esebusweni bephasi.” Kutjho uSomnini.

3“Ngizakurhayila kwasamuntu neembandana; ngisizile iinyoni zezulu neenhlambi zelwandle. Ngiketule iinkhohlakali nangiphelisa abantu ebusweni bephasi.” Kutjho uSomnini.

4“UJuda ngizombeka isandla nazo zoke izakhamuzi zeJerusalema. Ngizakuphelisa yoke imisalela yakaBhali endaweni le namabizo wabaphristi ababalotjhi bakaBhali, angasakhunjulwa.

5Ngizakuphelisa labo abalotjha iinkwekwezi phezu kwephahla lezindlu nabaguqa phasi bafunge uSomnini bajike godu bafunge uMilkomu.

6Ngizakuphelisa nabahlanuka uSomnini bangasayifuna ngokungasabuzi kiyo.

7“Thula phambi kwakaSomnini uSomandla, ngombana ilanga lakaSomnini litjhidele. USomnini ulungise umhlabelo; walungiselela labo abamemileko.”

8Ngelanga lomhlabelo lowo, uSomnini wathi: “Ngizakubeka iinkhulu namakhosana umlandu, nabo boke ababahlumisa ngenturhu nangekohliso. Ngibeke umlandu nalabo abavunule iimvunulo ezitjhili nabo boke abagegeda ukugadanga embunjwaneni womnyango.”

9USomnini uthi: “Mhlokho kuzakuzwakala umkhosi esangweni leHlambi, kurhahlawulwe ngengcenyeni etja yeJerusalema, kuzwakale ubugidigidi obukhulu ngemibundwini.

10Rhahlawulani nina enihlala emakethe, ngombana boke abarhwebi bazokutjhabalaliswa nabathengisi barhayilwe.

11“Ngesikhatheso ngizakubhenyegula iJerusalema ngeenhlothi ezivuthako, bengibeke umlandu labo abazigedlileko, abazitjela bathi, ‘USomnini akenzi litho elimbi nanyana elihle.’

12Umnonwabo uzakuphangwa, neenkumba zabo zigirizwe. Bazakwakha iinkumba bangazihlali; batjale iindiribe kodwana bangalirhamuli iwayini lakhona.”

13Ilanga elikhulu lakaSomnini litjhidele; ngambala litjhidele begodu liza ngokurhabileko. Ukuzwakala komkhosi wephasi welanga lakaSomnini uzakuba munyu nonesibindi uzakulila okutlhuwisako.

14Ilangelo lizakuba lilanga lelaka, ilanga lamahlungu namatlhuwiso, ilanga lokubhuruzwa nokurhayilwa, ilanga lokufiphala nobumnyama, ilanga lamafu anzima tshu.

15Kuzakuba lilanga lepalapala nelokuhlaba umkhosi, wokugasela amadorobho anemithangala nemibhotjhongo yamajika.

16USomnini uthi: “Ngizakuletha amatlhuwiso ebantwini, yeke bazakubhaduzela njengabangaboniko.” Ngebanga lokobana bonile kuSomnini, ipilwabo izakuba njengeenzibi, nemizimbabo ibe njengobulongwe.

17Isiliva negolidabo angeze yabasindisa ngelanga lelaka lakaSomnini. Inarha yoke izakuqothulwa ngomlilo wesikhwele sayo. Ngambala uzakurhayila ngokwesabekako boke abaphila enarheni.
