1Hlanganisani, ewe, hlanganisani, nina bantu bangathandekiyo;

2Ngaphambi kokuba uwiswe umyalelo, ngaphambi kokuba loo mini idlule njengomququ, ngaphambi kokuba umsindo kaYehova unifikele, ngaphambi kokuba imini yomsindo kaYehova inifikele.

3Funani uYehova, nonke balulamileyo belizwe, okwenzileyo okusesikweni kwakhe; funani ubulungisa, funani ululamo; mhlawumbi uya kungcwatywa ngemini yomsindo kaYehova.

4Kuba iGaza iya kuba sisishiyi, neAshkelon ibe yintlango; baya kuyigxotha iAshdode emini emaqanda, inyothulwe iEkron.

5Yeha, abemi baselunxwemeni, bemi baseKrete! Ilizwi likaYehova lichasene nani; iKanan, ilizwe lamaFilisti, ndiya kukutshabalalisa, kungabikho mmi.

6Unxweme lolwandle luya kuba ngamakriwa, neminquba yabalusi, nezibaya zeenkomo;

7Yaye ilizwe liya kuba lelamasalela endlu yakwaYuda; aya kudla kuyo; baya kulala ezindlwini zaseAshkelon; ngokuba uya kuwavelela uYehova uThixo wawo, awabuyise ekuthinjweni kwawo.

8Ndikuvile ukungcikiva kukaMowabhi, ukungcikiva koonyana baka-Amon, ababangcikive ngako abantu bam, baziphakamisa phezu kwelizwe labo.

9Ngako oko, ndihleli nje, utsho uYehova wemikhosi, uThixo kaSirayeli, ukuthi, uMowabhi uya kuba njengeSodom, noonyana baka-Amon babe njengeGomora, nemihadi yetyuwa, nenkangala ephanzileyo, kude kuse ephakadeni; amasalela abantu bam ziya kuzihlutha, namasalela abantu bam azihluthe.

10Lilo elo ikratshi labo, ngenxa yokuba baye babadelela baza baziphakamisa abantu bakaYehova wemikhosi.

11uYehova uya kunkwantya kubo, kuba uya kubabulala ngephango bonke oothixo behlabathi; yaye abantu baya kumnqula elowo endaweni yakhe, kuzo zonke iziqithi zeentlanga.

12Nina, maKushi, niya kubulawa ngekrele lam;

13Uya kusolula isandla sakhe ngasezantsi, ayitshabalalise iAsiriya; woyijika iNineve ibe yintlango, umqwebedu onjengentlango.

14Kuya kuhlala phakathi kwabo iintaka, amarhamncwa onke eentlanga; Kuhlala iintaka nokhwalimanzi ezindaweni zabo eziphakamileyo; ilizwi labo liya kumemelela ezifestileni; ukonakala kuya kuba sezingcangweni, ngenxa yokuba kuya kutyhilwa umsebenzi wemisedare.

15Nguwo lowo umzi onoyolo, owahlala ngokuqhutywa yintliziyo, owathi entliziyweni yawo, Ndim kwaphela, akukho wumbi; Utheni na ukuba ube senkangala, ube sisikhundla samarhamncwa! bonke abadlula kuwo baya kuvuthela impempe, bewangawangisa ngesandla.
