UMIKA 2

₁Wo kwabaceba ububi,

benze okubi emibhedeni yabo!

Ekukhanyeni kokusa bayakwenza,

ngokuba kusemandleni ezandla zabo.

₂Bafisa amasimu, bawadluzula,

nezindlu, bazisuse;

bacindezela indoda nendlu yayo,

umuntu nefa lakhe.

₃Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova, uthi:

Bhekani, ngiceba okubi ngalomndeni,

eningayikukhipha kukho izintamo zenu;

futhi ningahambi ngokuzidla,

ngokuba lokhu kuyisikhathi esibi.

₄Ngalolosuku bayakuphakamisa umfanekiso ngani,

bakhale isililo, bathi:

Sichithiwe nokuchithwa;

isabelo sabantu bami sinikwa omunye;

yeka ukubuya kwakhe kimi;

abahlubuki babelwa amasimu ethu.

₅Ngalokho akuyikubakho ophonsa intambo ngenkatho

ebandleni likaJehova.

₆Ningaprofethi — baprofetha, basho njalo —

ningaprofethi ngalokho;

ihlazo aliyikusifica.

₇Kuyakushiwo, nina-ndlu kaJakobe,

ukuthi uMoya kaJehova unyinyekile;

yizenzo zakhe lezi na?

Awamahle yini amazwi ami kohamba ngobuqotho?

₈Kepha kade bevukile abantu bami baba-yizitha;

nihlubula ingubo esambathweni sabadlula ngethemba,

befulathele ukulwa.

₉Niyaxosha abesifazane babantu bami ezindlini zokuthokoza kwabo,

nisusa ezinganeni zabo ubukhosi bami kuze kube-phakade.

₁₀Sukumani nihambe, ngokuba lokhu akusikho ukuphumula kwenu;

ngenxa yabayingcosana niyachitha ngokuchitha okunamandla.

₁₁Uma bekuhambahamba umuntu okhuluma umoya nje namanga, athi:

Ngiyakuprofetha kuwe ngewayini nangophuzo olunamandla,

ubeyakuba-ngumprofethi walababantu.

₁₂Ngiyakukubutha, Jakobe, wonke wakho;

ngiyakuqoqa nokuqoqa insali yakwaIsrayeli;

ngiyakubabeka ndawonye njengezimvu zaseBosira,

njengomhlambi phakathi kwedlelo lawo,

kwenziwe ukukhamuluka okuvela kubantu.

₁₃Umfohli ukhuphuka ngaphambi kwabo;

sebefohlile, badlulela esangweni, baphuma ngalo;

inkosi yabo idlulile phambi kwabo,

noJehova usesihlokweni sabo.
