Ukuziphatha kwayo phambi kwami bekunjengomfazi osilapheleko esikhathini sakhe. 18Yeke ngathululela ilaka lami phezu kwabo ngebanga leengazi abazithulula enarheni nangebanga lamanyala okubosingazimu abasilaphaza ngawo inarha. 19Ngalokho ngabasabalalisa hlangana nezizwe, nje-ke bahlakazwa eenarheni. Ngabagweba ngokuya ngemikhubabo nangezenzo zabo. 20Lokha nabafika ezizweni ebebahlakazelwe kizo, basilaphaza ibizo lami elicwengileko ngombana abantu bathi kibo, ‘Laba babantu bakaSomnini, kodwana nanyana kunjalo, bekufanele baphume enarhenakhe.’ 21Kodwana ngikhathazekile ngebizo lami elicwengileko elasilaphazwa yindlu yakwa-Israyeli hlangana nezizwe eyafika kizo. 22Ngalokho khuluma endlini yakwa-Israyeli uthi, ‘Nakhu okutjhiwo nguSomnini uSomandla: Akusingebanga lakho, wena ndlu yakwa-Israyeli, kobana ngithathe igadango, kodwana kungenca yebizo lami elicwengileko enalisilaphaza hlangana nezizwe enafika kizo. 23Nje-ke ngizokuveza ukucwengeka kwebizo lami elikhulu nelisilaphazweko hlangana nezizwe, iye, lelo enilihlambalaze phakathi kwazo. Kulapho-ke, lapha izizwe zizakwazi khona bonyana nginguSomnini, lokha nangizibonakalisa ngani phambi kwazo bona mina ngecwengile.’ ” Kutjho uSomnini uSomandla.

Ngizakukhupha ngaphakathi kwenu ihliziyo yelitje, nginiphe ihliziyo ethambileko. 27Ngizakufaka ngaphakathi kwenu uMoyami, nginenze nikhambe eemisweni zami nokobana nilonde imithethwami beniyenze. 28Nizakuhlala enarheni engayinikela abayihlomkhulu, nibe babantu bami, nami ngibe nguZimenu. 29Ngizanihlenga kikho koke ukusilaphala kwenu, ngiyale amabele abe khona ngiwenze abe linala nendlala ngingasayehliseli kini. 30Ngizakwenza iinthelo zemithi nesivuno sesimu bona sihlome khulu ukuze ningasezwa godu ihlazo lokuphodlheka ngendlala hlangana nezizwe. 31Nje-ke nizakukhumbula iindlela zenu zokonakala nezenzo zenu ezimbi. Nizazinyenya ngebanga lezono zenu nezenzo zenu ezikghabhudlhako. 32Akwazeke kuhle kini bonyana akusingebanga lenu kobana ngithathe igadango! Kodwana zigobeni, nizisole ngenca yeendlela zenu, nina ndlu ka-Israyeli.” Kutjho uSomnini uSomandla.

Amadorobho ebegade asele amarubhi nalawo ebegade adiliziwe njenganje sele anemithangala begodu ayahlaleka.’ 36Nje-ke, izizwe mazombe eziseleko zizakwazi bonyana mina Somnini ngiyakhile imizi egade ibhuruziwe, ngatjala lapha bekungasenalitho khona. Iye, mina Somnini ngikhulumile begodu ngizokwenza lokho.”

Ngokunjalo amadorobho egade asele atjhiyiwe, azakugcwala imihlambi yabantu. Nje-ke bazakwazi bonyana nginguSomnini.”
