Kunalokho walahlelwa ngaphandle emmangweni ngombana ngelanga owavela ngalo bewusinyenyiso.
6“ ‘Kwathi lokha nangidlula ngakuwe, ngakubona urarhararha eengazini zakho ngathi kuwe useengazinapho: Phila! Iye, ngathi kuwe useengazinapho: Phila! 7Wakhula njengesitjalo sommango. Iye, wakhula wadlondlobala ukufikela lapha uba khona mumuntu okarisako. Wathoma ukuphuhla, wamila amatjhitjhi kodwana bewusese bulanzi, iye, ubhunubhunu.
8“ ‘Kwathi lokha nangidlula ngakuwe godu, ngakubona, qala, bewusesigabeni sokuqoma. Nje-ke ngathabululela ingutjanami phezu kwakho kobana ngigubuzese ubuze bakho. Iye, ngakunikela isifungo, ngenza isivumelwano nawe. Ngalokho waba ngowami.’ Kutjho uSomnini uSomandla. 9‘Ngakuhlambisa ngamanzi ngasusa iingazi ebezikghamathele kuwe, ngakuzesa ngamafutha. 10Godu ngakwembathisa amatjhila alukiweko wemibalabala bengakufaka amapatlagwana wesikhumba esitjhukiweko. Ngakusonga ngelineni elimhlophe bengakwembesa ngetjhila elikhethekileko. 11Ngakufaka imikghabiso bengakufaka neenkhono emikhonweni nonongoro entanyeni. 12Ngakufaka incina epumulweni, amancina eendlebeni nesihlohlo esihle ehloko. 13Iye, bewuhlotjiswe ngegolide nesiliva. Isambatho sakho besinelineni elimhlophe netjhila elikhethekileko kanye namatjhila alukiweko wemibalabala. Wadla umdoko wekoroyi esiliweko, iliju namafutha we-oliva. Yeke waba simomondiya, bewaba njengendlovukazi. 14Idumo lakho lafikelela ezizweni ngebanga lobuhle bakho ngombana ijamo ebengikuthwese lona beliphelele ngenca yobuphaziphazi obukuwe.’ Kutjho uSomnini uSomandla.
15“ ‘Kodwana wathembela ebuhleni bakho, waba yingwadla ngebanga ledumo lakho. Wakhamba utjhemulela woke odlula ngendlela, wazineka kuye. 16Wathatha ezinye zezambatho zakho, wangwadlela phezu kwazo eendundumeni ezimibalabala ozenzela zona, okumhlolo ongazange khewenzeke nongasoze wenzeka. 17Wabuya godu wathatha nobuphaziphazi begolide nesiliva lami engakunikela khona, wazenzela iinthombe zemifanekiso yabantu, wazilotjha. 18Wathatha nezambatho zamatjhilakho alukiweko wemibalabala wembesa iinthombezo bewabeka namafuthami we-oliva netjhwalo lami phambi kwazo. 19Nokudla kwami engakupha khona bengakondla ngakho, iye, umdoko wekoroyi esiliweko, amafutha we-oliva neliju, wakubeka phambi kwazo, kobana kube mnikelo okhethekileko kizo.’ Kutjho uSomnini uSomandla.
20“ ‘Wabuya wathatha amadodana namadodakazakho owangibelethela wona, wenzela ngawo iinthombezo umhlabelo ngokuwatjhisa emlilweni. Kanti ubungwadla bakho bebungakeneli 21kobana ungabeze ubulale abantwabami, ubanikele eenthombenezo ngokubadabulisa emlilweni na? 22Phezu kwazo zoke iinkghabhudlo zakho nobungwadla bakho akhange bewukhumbule amalanga wobutjha bakho, iye, lokha usese bulanzi, ubhunubhunu, urarhararha eengazini zakho.’
23“USomnini uSomandla uthi, ‘Maye! Iye maye kuwe ngombana emva kwabo boke ubukhohlakali bakho 24uzakhele imibundu, iye, wazenzela iindunduma kiwo woke amacabazi. 25Mbala, kenye nenye ipambanandlela wakhe indundumakho warhubutjha khona ubuhle bakho, ukhamba utjhemulela omunye nomunye odlula ngendlela ngokwandisa ubungwadla bakho. 26Ungwadle namaGibhide, okubomakhelwana bakho bekanuko. Iye, wandise ubungwadla bakho kobana ungivusele ilaka. 27Qala-ke, ngelule isandla sami ngokujamelana nawe begodu ngiphungule isabelo sakho. Ngikunikelele eenkanukweni zabakuzondako okumadodakazi wamaFilista aneenhloni ngokuziphatha kwakho ngameswe. 28Godu ungwadle nama-Asiriya ngombana bewusoloko ungakadeli. Iye, ungwadlile nawo kodwana nalapho akhange waneliswe. 29Nje-ke wandisa ubungwadla bakho nenarha yabarhwebi, okutjho inarha yamaKasidi, nalapho akhange bewaneliswe.’
30“USomnini uSomandla uthi, ‘Usihlolabani sengwadla kobana ungenza zoke izintwezi! Bekuzizenzo zengwadla edazukileko 31lokha nawakha imibundu kenye nenye ipambanandlela, wenza khona iindunduma kiwo woke amacabazi. Nokho bewungafani nengwadla mbala ngombana unyefule ukukhokhelwa kwengwadla. 32Ngitjho wena sihlobongi somfazi ndina, esiphakululela imiqhamuka ije sinendoda! 33Amadoda avamisa ukukhokhela iingwadla, kodwana wena uvuza zoke iinthandwa zakho ngokuzifumbathisa kobana zize kuwe mahlangothi woke ngebanga lobungwadla bakho. 34Wena wehlukile kabanye abafazi: Ekungwadleni kwakho amadoda akasakulandeleli, sese kunguwe okhokhelwa ukungwadlwa khisibe wona akasakhokhi ilitho. Iye, wehlukile kabanye abafazi.
35“ ‘Ngalokho wena ngwadla ndina, yizwa ilizwi lakaSomnini, 36iye, nakhu okutjhiwo nguSomnini uSomandla: Njengombana weneke igwayana lakho nobubhunubhunu bakho bebembukile ebungwadleni bakho neenthandani zakho nawo woke amanyalakho aziinkghabhudlho nangebanga leengazi zabantwana bakho ozinikele eenthombenezo; 37ngalokho qala-ke, ngizokubutha zoke iinthandani zakho ozithabisakwezo, iye, zoke ebegade uzithanda nazo zoke ebegade uzizonda. Mbala, ngizozibutha mahlangothi woke bona zijamelane nawe. Ngizokwembula ubuze bakho kizo ukuze zibone boke ububhunubhunu bakho. 38Ngizokugweba ngeengwebo zeenhlobongikazi nezabathulula iingazi: Ngizokwehlisela phezu kwakho iingazi ezibangwa lilaka nesikhwele. 39Ngizokunikela ezandleni zabomakhwapheni bakho; bazokudiliza imibundu, batjhabalalise neendawo zakho eziphakamileko. Bazokuhlubulisa izambatho zakho, bathathe nobuphaziphazi bakho, bakutjhiye ubulanzi, iye, ubhunubhunu. 40Bazokuthelekela ngebutho, bakukhande ngamatje bebakubulale ngeensabula zabo. 41Bazokutjhisela izindlu zakho, baphelelise isigwebo phambi kwabafazi abanengi. Ngizokuphelisa ubungwadla bakho begodu angeze usakhokhela ukungwadlwa. 42Nje-ke ilaka lami lizakubohlela phezu kwakho ukuze isikhwele sami sisuke kuwe. Ngizakubohla, angeze ngisasilingeka. 43Njengombana ungakhange ukhumbule imihla yobutjha bakho, kodwana wangivusela ilaka ngazo zoke izintwezi, ngalokho qala-ke, mina ngizokubetha ngeentonga zakho.’ Kutjho uSomnini uSomandla.
“ ‘Phezu kwazo zoke iinkghabhudlho zakho, ubuye waziphatha ngameswe. 44Qala-ke, boke abadzubhula izaga bazokudzubhula nasi isaga ngawe bathi: Indodakazi ifuze unina. 45Wena uyindodakazi kanyoko, owanyaza umyenakhe nabantwabakhe. Iye, ungudade wabodadwenu abanyaza abayeni babo nabantwababo. Unyoko bekamRhithi, uyihlo amAmori. 46Udadwenu omkhulu liSamariya ebelihlala namadodakazalo ngetlhagwini kuwe; kuthi udadwenu omncani ongesewula kuwe kube liSodoma namadodakazalo. 47Khonapho akhange ulandele kwaphela iindlela zabo bewenze iinkghabhudlho zabo, kodwana esikhathini esincani nje besele wonakele khulu kunabo kizo zoke iindlela zakho. 48Ngiyafunga ngokuphila kwami udadwenu iSodoma namadodakazalo akhange benze okwenziwe nguwe namadodakazakho.’ Kutjho uSomnini uSomandla. 49‘Nje-ke yelela, nanti icala lakadadwenu iSodoma: Yena namadodakazakhe bebaphakeme, bangasweli ukudla begodu bazigedlile kodwana akhange babonelele abachakileko nabadududu, 50bebazigqaja benza neenkghabhudlho phambi kwami. Ngalokho ngabathanyela nangibona lokho. 51ISamariya azange lenze ngitjho ingcenye yezono zakho. Wena wenze iinkghabhudlho ukwedlula lona namadodakazalo. Mbala, ngazo zoke iinkghabhudlho zakho ozenzileko, wenze abodadwenu babonakale bamsulwa. 52Nawe-ke kumele uthwale ihlazo lakho ngombana wenze kobana isigwebo sibe lula kibodadwenu: Ngezono zakho owenze ngazo iinkghabhudlho ukwedlula abodadwenu, bona-ke babonakala bamsulwa kunawe. Iye, nawe godu kumele ube neenhloni, uthwale ihlazo lakho ngokwenza abodadwenu babonakale bamsulwa ukukudlula.
53“ ‘Nokho ngizokutjhugulula ubujamo babo, iye ubujamo beSodoma namadodakazalo nebeSamariya namadodakazalo. Godu ngizakutjhugulula ubujamo bakho kanye nabo 54ukuze ukwazi ukuthwala ihlazo lakho bewuphoqeke ngakho koke okwenzileko, okutjho ukubakhuthaza kwakho. 55Abodadwenu, iSodoma namadodakazalo bazakubuyela ebujameni babo bokuthoma neSamariya namadodakazalo bazakubuyela ebujameni babo bokuthoma. Nawe-ke namadodakazakho nizakubuyela ebujameni benu bokuthoma. 56Elangeni lokuziphakamisa kwakho bewungaliphathi ibizo lakadadwenu uSodoma! 57Lokho bekungaphambi kokwembulwa kobukhohlakali bakho. Ngendlela enjalo kusikhathi seenhlamba zamadodakazi we-Aramu nabo boke abayizombelezileko nezamadodakazi wamaFilista akuhlabekisa mahlangothi woke. 58Wena uzokuthwala umphumela wokuziphatha kwakho ngameswe neenkghabhudlho zakho.’ Kutjho uSomnini.
59“Iye, nakhu okutjhiwo nguSomnini uSomandla, ‘Ngizokwenza kuwe njengombana wenzile, ngitjho wena odele isifungo ngokwephula isivumelwano. 60Nokho mina ngizasikhumbula isivumelwano sami engasenza nawe emihleni yobutjha bakho begodu ngizakujamisa isivumelwano esingapheliko nawe. 61Nje-ke uzakukhumbula iindlela zakho bewuphoqeke lokha nawamukela abodadwenu abakhulu nabancani kuwe. Ngizokunikela bona njengamadodakazi nanyana lokho kungasi ngebanga lesivumelwano sami nawe. 62Iye, mina ngizokujamisa isivumelwano sami nawe. Ngalokho uzakwazi bonyana nginguSomnini. 63Ngizokwenza lokho ukuze ukhumbule bewube neenhloni begodu ungasakhulumi ngehlazo lakho lokha nangikuthethelela ngakho koke okwenzileko.’ Kutjho uSomnini uSomandla.”
