Isiphorofido ngeTirosi
1Isimemezelo sakaZimu ngeTirosi:
Rhahlawulani nina mikhumbi yokurhweba;
aninakhaya ngombana iTirosi irhayiliwe!
Kwabonakala lokho
nayifika ivela enarheni yamaKithi.
2Thulani, nina bahlali beligwini,
nani barhwebi besifunda seTsidoni
eneyama ilwandle.
Abazenda benu 3behla basemanzini amanengi.
Iinthoro zeTjhirhori, iye isivuno seNayili
bekuyinzuzo yeTirosi
okuyindawo yerhwebo yezizwe.
4Yiba neenhloni, wena Tsidoni
ngombana ilwandle likhulumile,
iye, isiphephelo salo sathi:
“Angisenamirhele, angibelethi,
angikakhulisi amasokana,
namkha ngondle amatlawu.”
5Nakufika umbiko eGibhide baba sesizini,
iye, nabezwa umbiko weTirosi
6babalekela eTharatjhitjhi.
Rhahlawulani nina bahlali beligwini!
7Ngikho lokho okuseleko
kwedorobho lenu elisiyaluyalu na?
Umsuka walo ngewekadeni,
abantu balo bakhamba ngerhwebo,
bayokhonza emazweni akude.
8Ngubani ohlele lokhu
ngokujamelana neTirosi na?
Idorobheli belimthwesi weenhlohlo,
abarhwebi balo bekumakhosana
nabathengisi balo bebabahlonitjhwa ephasini.
9USomnini uMninimandlawoke ukuhlelile lokhu,
kobana konakaliswe ukuziphakamisa
kwabo boke abaziinkhulu,
iye, ukuhlazisa boke abahlonitjhwako bephaseli.
10Bantu beTaratjhitjhi, limani inarhenu
njengombana basenza magegana neNayili
ngombana abasenzi imikhumbi eTirosi.
11USomnini welulele isandla sakhe ngehla kwelwandle,
wasikinya imibuso,
wakhupha umyalo mayelana neKanana,
kobana kutjhabalaliswe iimphephelo zakhona.
12USomnini wathi:
“Angeze bewusayaluzela wena Tirosi,
ndodakazi yeTsidoni, tlawu eligagadlhelweko!
Ngitjho nanyana ungasikima
uyamele kumaKithi
nalapho awuzukuphumula.”
13(Qala inarha yamaKasidi yenze lokhu! Isizwe esingasekhweso, okutjho ama-Asiriya, ngiso esinikelela iTirosi ngabothurhu berhalawumba. Senza iinthala zokuvimbezela, sagiriza iingodlo zayo, sayitjhiya ilirubhi.)
14Rhahlawulani, nina mikhumbi yokurhweba
ngombana isiphephelo senu sitjhabalalisiwe.
15Ngesikhatheso iTirosi lizokulitjalwa iminyaka ematjhumi alikhomba, okusikhathi sokuphila kwekosi. Ekupheleni kweminyaka ematjhumi alikhomba, kuzakwenzeka phezu kweTirosi njengengoma evunywa ngengwadla:
16Thatha iharibha,
uzombeleze idorobho,
wena ngwadla elitjelweko!
Yenza umkenenezo omnandi,
vuma iingoma ezinengi,
ukuze ukhunjulwe.
17Ekupheleni kweminyaka ematjhumi alikhomba, uSomnini uzakukhambela iTirosi. Nje-ke ingwadla leyo izakuzuza godu, irhwebe ngokunyariya nayo yoke imibuso yephasi, iye, nayo yoke imibuso ebusweni bephasi. 18Kodwana inzuzwayo kanye nomrholwayo kuzakuhlukaniselwa uSomnini. Lokho angeze kwabekwa namkha kugcinwe, kodwana kuzakuba ngokwabaphila ebukhoneni bakaSomnini. Kuzabondla ngokwaneleko kubahlinzeke nangezambatho zakanokutjho.
