1UNGAVUYI, Sirayeli! kude kuvuyelelwe, njengezizwe: ngokuba umkile kutixo wako ngombulo; uwutandile umvuzo ezibayeni zonke zenqolowa.

2Isibaya nesincinezelo seveyine aziyi kubamkelisa ukutya, neveyine entsha yona yobatshitshela.

3Abayi kuhlala elizweni likayehova; kodwa u‐Frayime wobuyela e‐Jipete, nase‐Asiriya baya kukudla okunco̔lileyo.

4Abayi kutululela uyehova iveyine, kanjalo ayiyi kuba mnandi kuye imibingo yabo; yoba njengesonka sabalusizi kubo; bonke abadlayo kuso baya kunco̔liswa: ngokuba isonka sabo soba sesompefumlo wabo; asiyi kungena endlwini kayehova.

5Seniya kwenza nto nina emhleni wentlanganisano, nasemhleni womtendeleko kayehova?

6Ngokuba, bona ke, bemkile ngenxa yembubiso; i‐Jipete yobabuta, i‐Mofe yobancw̔aba; indawo ezinqwenelekileyo zesilivere yabo, amaṙau ozifuya; ameva oba sezintenteni zabo.

7Imihla yokwohlwaya seifikile, imihla yokupindezela seifikile; u‐Sirayeli uya kuyazi: umprofite usisidenge, umntu womoya uyageza, ngenxa yobuninzi benkohlakalo yako, na ngenxa yenzondo enkulu.

8Umlindi ka‐Frayime u notixo wam; kodwa umprofite usisigu somtiyeli wentaka ezindleleni zake zonke, uyinzondo endlwini yotixo wake.

9Bandisile ukuzonakalisa, njengasemihleni ye‐Gibeha: woyikumbula inkohlakalo yabo, uya kwohlwayela izono zabo.

10Ndamfumana u‐Sirayeli njengedreyive entlango; ndababona oyihlo benu njengolibo lwomkiwane ekuqaleni kwa lo; kodwa baya ku‐Bali‐pehori, bazahlulela kwelohlazo; baba buntshontsho, njengoko bakutandayo.

11U‐Frayime, ubungcwalisa babo bobaleka njengentaka, kwa sekuzalweni, nasesizalweni, nasekukaulweni.

12Nakuba bakulisa abantwana, sendiya kubahluta bona, bangabiko pakati kwabantu: koko kuya kuba nzima kubo, nxa ndimkayo kubo!

13U‐Frayime, njengokuba ndabona i‐Tire, utyaliwe endaweni emnandi; kodwa u‐Frayime wopuma nabantwana bake ukuya kumbulali.

14Banike, Yehova! uya kunika nto nina? banike isisu esipumayo, namabele omileyo.

15Yonke inkohlakalo yabo ise‐Gilegale; ngokuba apo ndabatiya; ngenxa yenkohlakalo yezenzo zabo, ndobagxota endlwini yam; andisayi kubuya ndibatande; zonke inkosana zabo zingabanenkani.

16U‐Frayime ubetiwe, ingcambo yabo yomile; abayi kuhlanza iziqa̔mo: ewe, nangona bazalayo, ndoti noko ndikufise okutandekileyo kwesizalo sabo.

17Utixo wam wobalahla, ngokuba bengampulapulanga: boba ngamadungadunga pakati kwezizwe.
