1Ngelo xesha, kungekho kumkani kwaSirayeli, bekukho umLevi owayehlala kweleentaba lakwaEfrayim, wazeka umfazi eBhetelehem yakwaYuda.

2Wakrexeza naye isithende, wemka kuye, waya endlwini kayise eBhetelehem yakwaYuda, wahlala khona iinyanga zane.

3Yesuka indoda yalo yalilandela, ukuba ithethe kakuhle nalo, yalibuyisa nekhoboka lalo, namanye amaesile; wayingenisa endlwini kayise, wayibona uyise wentombazana, wakuvuyela ukuyihlangabeza.

4Uyise womkakhe, uyise wentombi, wayeyigcinele yona; wahlala naye iintsuku zantathu; badla, basela, balala khona.

5Kwathi ngomhla wesine, bavuka kusasa, ukuba ahambe; wathi uyise wentombi kumyeni wakhe, Yithuthuzele intliziyo yakho ngeqhekeza lesonka, ungashiyi emva.

6Bahlala phantsi, badla, basela ndawonye, ngokuba wathi uyise wentombi endodeni leyo, Vuka, ulale ubusuku bonke, ize ibe nemihlali intliziyo yakho.

7Yesuka indoda leyo ukuba ihambe; wayijoka uyise womkayo; ke ngoko, wachitha ubusuku apho kwakhona.

8Yavuka kusasa ngomhla wesihlanu ukuba ihambe; Wathi uyise wentombazana, Yithuthuzele intliziyo yakho; Bahlala ke kwada kwasemini enkulu, badla bobabini.

9Yavuka indoda leyo, ukuba ihambe, yona inomkhonzi wayo, nomkhonzi wayo, uyisezala, uyise wentombi yayo, yathi kuyo: “Yabona, le mini iyeza, lala; ilanga liyakhula kude kube sekupheleni, hlala apha, ukuze intliziyo yakho ivuye; ndihambe ngomso ndigoduke.

10Akuthandanga kulala indoda leyo, yesuka yemka, yafika eYebhusi, eyiYerusalem ke leyo; idizili ezimbini; nesithende sakhe sasikunye naye.

11Bafika eYebhusi, lalisele litshonile ilanga; Wathi umkhonzi enkosini yakhe, Hamba, singene kulo mzi wamaYebhusi, silale khona.

12Yathi kuye inkosi yakhe, Masingasuki apha siye kumzi wolunye uhlanga, ongewoonyana bakaSirayeli; siya eGibheha.

13Wathi kumfana wakuyo, Yiza, sisondele kwenye indawo, silale, nokuba kuseGibheha, nokuba kuseRama.

14Zahamba, zahamba; latshona ilanga phezu kwabo beseGibheha ezweni lakwaBhenjamin.

15Baphambukela khona, baya eGibheha, balalisa khona; wangena, wamhlalisa ezitratweni zomzi; kuba bekungekho namnye ubamkelayo ukuba baye kulala endlwini yakhe.

16Ke kaloku indoda enkulu yeza ivela emsebenzini wayo ngokuhlwa, ivela emasimini, yeza ivela kweleentaba lakwaEfrayim; wayishiya iGibheya njengomphambukeli, kodwa amadoda aloo ndawo ayephuma kwisizwe sakwaBhenjamin.

17Wawaphakamisa amehlo akhe, wabona umhambi endaweni yembutho yomzi; Yathi indoda enkulu, Uya ngaphi na? ungowaphi?

18Yathi kuyo, Siyahamba, sivela eBhetelehem yakwaYuda; siya emathambekeni akwaEfrayim; Ndemka khona, ndaya eBhetelehem yakwaYuda; ngoku ke ndihambela endlwini kaYehova; kwaye akukho bani undamkelayo endlwini.

19Noko ke sikho utyani, neendiza zamaesile ethu; kukho isonka newayini ngenxa yam, nomkhonzazana wakho, nomfana onabakhonzi bakho; ayifuni nto.

20Yathi indoda enkulu, Uxolo malube nawe; yonke iminqweno yakho mayibe phezu kwam; ungahlali nje esitratweni.

21Wamsa endlwini yakhe, wabanika ukudla; bazihlamba iinyawo zabo, badla, basela.

22Kwathi, bakuba benemihlali ezintliziyweni zabo, nango amadoda aloo mzi, oonyana bakaBheliyali, engena endlwini, ankqonkqoza elucangweni, athetha kumninindlu, ixhego, esithi, Zisa usindiso indoda engene endlwini yakho, ukuze simazi.

23Yaphuma indoda engumninindlu, yaya kubo, yathi kubo, Hayi, bazalwana bam, musani ukukha nenze into embi enjengale; nibone ukuba le ndoda ingene endlwini yam, musani ukwenza obu budenge.

24Nantsi intombi yam, intombi eyintombi, nesithende sayo; ngoku ndiya kubakhupha, ndikuthobe, ndibenzele okulungileyo emehlweni akho;

25Akavuma loo madoda ukumphulaphula. Indoda leyo yathabatha isithende sayo, yasizisa kuwo; kwaye bamazi baza bamtshabhisa ubusuku bonke kwada kwasa; lwathi lwakufika, bamkhulula.

26Wafika umfazi lowo kusasa, waziphosa phantsi phambi komnyango wendlu yendoda, umniniyo, kwada kwasa.

27Yagqiba inkosi yakhe kusasa, yazivula iingcango zendlu, yaphuma ukuba ihambe; nantso intokazi iwile emnyango wendlu, izandla zayo zisemnyango.

28Wathi kuye, Yima, sihambe; Kodwa akukho namnye waphendulayo. Yamkhwelisa e-esileni, yesuka indoda leyo, yagoduka.

29Wathi akungena endlwini yakhe, wathabatha isitshetshe, wasibamba isithende sakhe, wasicanda saziziqwenga ezilishumi elinazibini, wasithumela kulo lonke ilizwe lakwaSirayeli.

30Bathi bonke abayibonayo, Akuzanga kwenziwe nto inje, akuzanga kubonwe oku, kususela ekunyukeni koonyana bakaSirayeli ezweni laseYiputa, unanamhla; nikela ingqalelo, thabatha icebiso kwaye uthethe ingqondo yakho.
