Ingoma yaMosi
1Mosi nema-Israyeli bahlabela kuSimakadze nansi ingoma, batsi:
“Ngiyawuhlabela kuSimakadze,
ngobe uphakanyiswe kakhulu,
lihhashi nemgibeli walo
ukujikijele elwandle.
2Simakadze uyingoma yami, nemandla ami,
yena sewuyinsindziso yami.
Nguye longuNkulunkulu wami,
ngiyawudvumisa yena.
Yena unguNkulunkulu wabobabemkhulu,
ngiyawudvumisa bukhulu bakhe.
3Simakadze ngumnikati wemphi;
nguSimakadze libito lakhe.
4Tincola temphi taFaro nemabutfo akhe
ukujikijele ekhatsi elwandle,
tiphatsimandla takhe letikhetsiwe
utiphonse eLwandle Lolubovu.
5Emanti elwandle abasibekela,
bacwila bashona phansi njengelitje.
6“Sandla sakho sangesekudla, Simakadze,
siphakeme ngemandla.
Sandla sakho sangesekudla, Simakadze,
sipitjite sitsa, sasibulala.
7Ngekuphakama kwemandla akho
ubacitsile labemelene nawe,
intfukutselo yakho levutsako
uyitfululele kubo,
yabalumeka njengetibi.
8Ngekufutsa kwemakhala akho
emanti elwandle ancwabelana ndzawonye,
yebo, ema aba tindvonga.
Kujula kwelwandle kwacina
njengemgcwaco.
9“Sitsa satsi:
‘Ngitawubacosha ngize ngibakhandze.
Ngitawutehlukanisela ngaloko
lengikudle kubo,
ngititike ngako;
ngitawukhipha inkemba yami
ngibabhubhise.’
10Kodvwa wena, Simakadze,
uphefumule kwaba kanye,
lwandle lwabamita, bacwila
sincane selitje
naligcumukela emantini lanemandla.
11“Ngubani lonjengawe, Simakadze,
emkhatsini wabo bonkhe bonkulunkulu?
Ngubani lofanana nawe
ngebungcwele bakho lobumangalisako?
Ngubani lonebukhosi lobesabekako
ente imimangaliso
nemisebenti yemandla njengawe?
12Welule sandla sakho sangesekudla,
umhlaba wabamita.
13“Sive sakho losisindzisile
uyawusihola ngemusa;
yebo, uyawusicondzisa ngemandla akho,
usimikise endzaweni yakho lengcwele.
14Tive nativa loko,
tiyawutfutfumela ngekwesaba,
emaFilisti ayawufikelwa luvalo.
15Tikhulu taka-Edomu tiyakwesaba,
tichwaga takaMowabi titfutfumele,
takhamiti taseKhenani tiphele emandla,
16behlelwe kutfutfumela neluvalo.
Ngenca yamandla emkhono wakho,
bayawutfomeka, banganyakati nakancane;
kuze kwendlule sive sakho,
yebo, kuze kwendlule sive sakho,
lowasitsenga ebugcilini, Simakadze.
17Uyawubangenisa
ubahlanyele entsabeni yakho,
indzawo leyakhetfwa nguwe, Simakadze,
kutsi ibe likhaya lakho,
indzawo lengcwele, Simakadze,
lowayakha ngetandla takho.
18Simakadze uyawubusa
phakadze naphakadze.”

19Emahhashi aFaro, netincola takhe temphi kanye nebagibeli bakhe bemahhashi batseleka ekhatsi elwandle, Simakadze wase uyawayekela emanti, abuyela etikwabo abasibekela; kodvwa ema-Israyeli ewela lwandle, ahamba emhlabatsini lowomile.
20Miriyamu, umphrofethikati, labengudzadzewabo-Aroni, watsatsa umntjingo wawudlala ahlabela, bonkhe labasikati baphuma bamlandzela nabo baphetse tingubhu, bagidza. 21Miriyamu wabahlabelela watsi:
“Hlabelani kuSimakadze,
ngobe uphakanyiswe kakhulu,
lihhashi nemgibeli walo
ukujikijele elwandle.”
Emanti lababako
22Kusuka lapho eLwandle Lolubovu, Mosi wahola ema-Israyeli balibangisa ehlane laseShuri. Kwaphela emalanga lamatsatfu basehlane bangawatfoli emanti. 23Bahamba baze bafika endzaweni lekutsiwa yiMara, lapho bawakhandza khona emanti. Kodvwa behluleka kuwanatsa, ngobe abebaba. Ngiko nje lendzawo yabitwa ngekutsi yiMara. 24Bantfu basola Mosi, bambuta batsi: “Sitawunatsani?” 25Mosi wakhala kuSimakadze; Simakadze wamkhombisa sigojwana. Mosi wasitsatsa wasijika ekhatsi kulamanti; emanti ajika aba mnandzi.
Basekuleyo ndzawo Simakadze wabanika umtsetfo nemsimeto wabo; wabavivinya khona lapho futsi. 26Wakhuluma kubo watsi: “Naningilalela, nigcina livi lami, mine Nkulunkulu wenu, nente loko lokulungile, nigcine nemiyalo yami, ngingeke nginijezise ngaletifo lengatehlisela etikwemaGibhithe. Mine nginguSimakadze longumphilisi wenu.”
27Bahamba baze befika e-Elimu, lapho kwakunemitfombo leli-12 netihlahla telisundvu letatingema-70; befika bemisa lapho edvute nemanti.
