Kucitfwa kwa-Israyeli
1Maye kini, nine labanetsetekile eSiyoni, nakini
nine labativela bavikelekile entsabeni yaseSamariya!
Maye nakini, nine madvodza lagcamile esiveni lesikhulu
nalesisekucala etiveni tonkhe,
nine labeta kini baka-Israyeli!
2Kutsiwa: “Hambani niye eKhalne, niye kuyibuka.
Nibosuka lapho nicondze eHamathi lenkhulu,
nisuke lapho nehlele eGathi yaseFilistiya!
Nine nincono yini kunaleyo mibuso?
Live labo lalilikhulu yini kunelenu?”
3Nikhweshisela eceleni lilanga lelibi,
bese nisondzeta edvutane umbuso lowesabisako.
4Nilala emibhedzeni lehlotjiswe ngematinyo etindlovu,
nicambalale etihlalweni tenu tekuphumula,
nititika ngenyama yemawundlu elikhetselo
nangeyematfokati lakhuluphalisiwe.
5Nanihlabela, nigubhutelisa emahabhu enu,
nitakhele nine imintjingozi yemculo njengaDavide.
6Ninatsa liwayini ngetitja letigcwele,
nitigcobise ngemafutsa lanuka kamnandzi,
kodvwa anidzabuki ngekucitfwa kwaJosefa.
7Ngako-ke nitawuba kanye
nebekucala kulabayawudzingiswa.
Lokutamasa kwenu ngemadzili,
nicambalale kamnandzi, kutawuphela.
Simakadze uyakwenyanya kutigcabha kwema-Israyeli
8INkhosi Simakadze itifungile. Simakadze Nkulunkulu longuSomandla utsi: “Ngiyakwenyanya kutigcabha kwaJakobe, tiyanginenga naletinqaba takhe. Ngitaliyekelela lelo dolobha, nako konkhe lokukulo.”
9Nangabe kusele emadvodza lalishumi endlini yinye, nawo futsi atakufa. 10Nangabe sihlobo lesifanele kushisa leto tidvumbu sifika sitetikhipha kuleyondlu, leso sihlobo nasibuta lona losabhacile, sitsi: “Usekhona yini lomunye losasele kanye nawe?” yena lolomunye aphendvule atsi: “Kute,” leso sihlobo siyawuphendvula sitsi: “Shi, thulani, kufanele sicaphele singaliphatsi Libito laSimakadze.”
11Ngobe Simakadze ubeke umyalo,
lendlu lenkhulu itawubhidlitwa,
iphihlitwe ibe ticucu,
kutsi nalena lencane ibe ticucu.
12Emahhashi ayagijima yini emadvwaleni latihhehle?
Umuntfu angalima yini khona lapho ngetinkhabi?
Kodvwa nine senijikise umtsetfocotfo,
nawenta waba butsi,
netitselo tekulunga natenta tababa,
13nine lenijabulela kwehlulwa kweLo Dabari bese nitsi:
“Asiyitsatsanga yini iKhanayimu ngemandla etfu?”
14Kodvwa Simakadze Nkulunkulu longuSomandla
uyakhuluma utsi:
“Ngiyawuchukuluta sive,
sinivukele, ninendlu yaka-Israyeli.
Leso sive siyawunicindzetela
yonkhe indlela kusukela eLebo Hamathi
kuze kuyewufika esigodzini sase-Arabha.”
