1Maye, kulabo abaceba okubi, labo abahlela ukwenza ububi besemibhedeni yabo, kuthi ekuthatheni kokusa bakwenze! Ngokuba kusemandleni ezandla zabo ukwenza lokho.

2Bafisa amasimu, bawaqhwage, nezindlu bazithathe, bacindezele indoda nabendlu yayo, umuntu nefa lakhe.

3Ngakho-ke usho kanje uSimakade, uthi: “Niyabona-ke, lo mndeni ngiwuhlelela inhlekelele, eningayukukhipha izintamo zenu kuyo, futhi aniyukuhamba ngokuziqhayisa, ngokuba kuyakuba yisikhathi esibi.

4Ngalolo lusuku bayakusho isaga ngani, bakhihle isililo, bethi: ‘Kuphelile, kuphele nya ngathi; isabelo sabantu bami sinikwe abanye abantu! Maye, usithathile kimi, amasimu ethu wawabela amahlubuka!’ ”

5Ngakho-ke akuyukubabikho kini ophonsa intambo yokulinganisa ngonkatho ebandleni likaSimakade.

6“Ningaphrofethi,” baphrofetha, bathi: “Akufanele niphrofethe ngalokho; asiyukuthelwa ngehlazo.

7Kungashiwo yini nina ndlu kaJakobe ukuthi uMoya kaSimakade uphelelwa yinisineke noma lezi yizenzo zakhe na? Awamahle yini amazwi ami kohamba ngobuqotho na?

8Akukapholi maseko abantu bami sebephenduke isitha; bahlubula ingubo esembathweni salabo abadlula bethi baphephile, bebuya empini.

9Nixosha abesifazane babantu bami ezindlini abazithandayo; nithathe ezinganeni zabo inkazimulo yami yaphakade.

10Sukumani nihambe, ngokuba lena akusiyona indawo yokuphumula, ngoba ingcolile, iyakuqotha imbokodo nesisekelo kabi.

11Ukuba bekukhona ohamba ekhuluma udwadwa namanga, aqambe amanga athi: ‘Ngiyakuniphrofethela ngewayini nangophuzo olunamandla, ubeyakuba ngumphrofethi walaba bantu.’ ”

12“Impela ngiyakumqoqa wonkana uJakobe; ngiyihlanganise ndawonye ngempela insali yakwa-Israyeli, ngiyiqoqele ndawonye njengezimvu esibayeni, nanjengomhlambi phakathi edlelweni lawo, kube nokuxokozela kwabantu.

13Obavulela indlela uyakuhamba phambi kwabo. Bayakufohla, badlulele esangweni, baphume ngalo. Inkosi yabo isidlulile phambi kwabo, uSimakade useyinhloko yabo.”
