2U-Amosi wathi:
“USomnini ubhodla aseZiyoni;
uzwakalisa ilizwi lakhe aseJerusalema.
Amasiso wabelusi ayatjhwaba;

3Nakhu okwatjhiwo nguSomnini:
“Angizolicolela iDamaseku
ngombana yone kokona:
Batshidlha iGiliyadi ngesileyi
esinamazinyo wesimbi.
4Yeke ngizakuthumela umlilo
ngaphakathi kwekumba kaRhazayeli,
uqothule isigodlo sakaBheni-Hadadi.
5Ngizakwephula isiqabo seDamaseku;
ngibhubhise ikosi yeBikhadi-Aveni
ephethe intonga yobukhosi eBhethe-Edeni.
Abantu beSiriya bazakusiwa ekuthunjweni eKiri.”
6Nakhu okwatjhiwo nguSomnini:
“Angizolicolela iGaza
ngombana yone kokona.
Bathethe woke umuzi bawusa ekuthunjweni
bebawuthengisela u-Edomu.

ngaphakathi kwemithangala yeGaza,
uqothule isigodlo sakhona.
8Ngizakubhubhisa ikosi ye-Atjhidodi
begodu nophethe intonga yobukhosi be-Atjhikheloni.
Ngizakuphendukela abantu be-Ekroni,
imisalela yamaFilisti izakubhubha.”

uqothule isigodlo sayo.”
11Nakhu okwatjhiwo nguSomnini:
“Angizoyicolela i-Edomu
ngombana yone kokona:
Bagijimisa umfowabo ngesabula,
balahla isisa sabo;
babilelwa ziingazi,
baba nezondo engapheliko.
12Yeke ngizakuthumela umlilo
ngaphakathi kweTemani,
uqothule isigodlo seBhozira.”

zabesifazana beGiliyadi abasidisi
ukuze bangezelele imikhawulwabo.
14Yeke ngizakuvuthisa umlilo

Umkhosi wepi uzakuzwakala njengesiwuruwuru;
15ikosabo izakuthunjwa, yona nababusi bayo.”
