Umbono ngeenjomani neenkarana
1Ngabuye ngaqala godu ngabona iinkarana ezine zepi zivela hlangana neentaba ezimbili – iintaba zedzila!
2Ikarana yokuthoma beyineenjomani ezinzotho, yesibili inezinzima, 3yesithathu inezimhlophe, kanti yesine beyinezimabalabala – zoke njalo bezinamandla.
4Ngabuza isithunywa sakaSomnini ngathi: “Kuyini lokhu, kosami?” 5Isithunywa sangiphendula sathi: “Le, mimoya emine yezulwini, ephumako negade ijame phambi kwakaSomnini, umniniphasi loke. 6Ikarana yeenjomani ezinzima iqale ngenarheni yangetlhagwini, eneenjomani ezimhlophe iqale ngetjingalanga bese kuthi emabalabala iqale ngenarheni yangesewula.”
7Lokha iinjomani ezinamandla naziphumako, gade zitjhabatjheka zifuna ukutjharhalala nephaseli loke nje. Sabese sithi: “Tjharhalalani nephaseli loke nje!” Yeke zatjharhalala nephasi loke. 8Nje-ke isithunywa sangirhuwelela sathi: “Qala, leziya eziya enarheni yangetlhagwini zizakwanelisa uMoyami lapho.”
9Ilizwi lakaSomnini leza kimi ngesithunywa lathi: 10“URheldayi, uThobiya noJedaya, ababathunjwa babuya eBhabheli baletha izipho kuJosaya umsa kaZefaniya. Lokha nabafikako, wena iya kwaJosaya, 11uthathe isiliva negolide wenze isihlohlo bese usiphathisa umphristi omkhulu uJotjhuwa umsa kaJehozadaki. 12Umtjele uthi, nakhu okwatjhiwo nguSomnini uMninimandlawoke,
“ ‘Kunomuntu onebizo ekuthiwa nguHlumela,
uzakuhluma endawenakhe
bese wakha isigodlo sakaSomnini.
13Nguye ozokwakha isigodlo sakaSomnini
begodu uzokwembathiswa ubukhosi
bese uhlala esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi abuse.
Yeke kuzakuba nomphristi
esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi,
kube nokuthula phakathi kwababilaba.’
14“Isihlohlo sizakuba sesigodlweni sakaSomnini, kube sikhumbuzo saboRheldayi, uThobiya noJedaya godu kube yinzuzo kumsa kaZefaniya. 15Labo abakude bazakubuya bazokufaka isandla ekwakhiweni kwesigodlo sakaSomnini. Nje-ke nizakwazi bonyana uSomnini uMninimadlawoke ungithume kini. Lokhu kuzakwenzeka nange nilalela uSomnini uZimenu ngokuncamileko.”
