UZAKARIYA 13
1Mhlokho umthombo uzakuvulekela indlu kaDavida nabahlali beJerusalema bona ubahlambulule ezonweni nekusilaphaleni.
Ukupheliswa kokulotjhwa kwabosingazimu nabaphorofidi bamala
2“Mhlokho, ngizakuphelisa amabizo wabosingazimu enarheni ukuze bangasakhunjulwa godu. Ngizakususa nabaphorofidi abanommoya osilapheleko enarheni.” Kutjho uSomnini uMninimandlawoke. 3Nakube nanyana ngiwuphi wabaphorofidaba soloko uyaphorofida, uyise nonina abambelethileko bazakuthi kuye: “Ufanele ufe ngombana ukhuluma amala ebizweni lakaSomnini.” Ababelethi bakhe bazamhlaba lokha nakaphorofidako. 4Mhlokho woke umphorofidi wamala uzakuba neenhloni ngombono wesiphorofido sakhe, angeze embatha inaka lakhe bona ayokuleya amala. 5Uzakuthi: “Angisuye umphorofidi mina; ngimlimi; ihlabathi yintwami engayithoma ngisemntwana.” 6Nange umuntu ambuza athi: “Alo, ziimbazi zani lezi, hlangana namahlombakhwapha?” Yeke uzakuthi: “Awa, iimbazezi, ngezokubethwa, ngazithola endlini yeenini zami.”
Nakubethwa umelusi kuphadlhalala izimvu
7USomnini uMninimandlawoke uthi:
“Phaphama wena sabula,
ujamelane nomelusami;
iye, ujamelane nomrholi webandla lami.
Kghedlha umelusi ukuze izimvu ziphadlhalale.
Ngizakujika isandla sami
sibe naphezu kokuncancazana.
8“USomnini uthi:
“Enarheni yoke, iingcenye ezimbili kezintathu
zizakurhayilwa bezitjhabalale;
nokho isithathu sizakusinda.
9Isithathwesi ngizasidlulisa emlilweni;
ngisicwengisise njengocwengisisa isiliva negolide.
Sizakubiza ibizo lami,
nje-ke ngizasiphendula,
ngithi, ‘Bababantu bami,’
bese sona sithi, ‘USomnini nguZimethu.’ ”
