Umbuso wekuthula
1Kuyawuhluma lihlumela esiphuntini sakaJese;
ligala lelimila etimphandzeni takhe
liyawutsela titselo.
2Moya waSimakadze uyawubasetikwakhe,
Moya wekuhlakanipha newekucondza,
Moya wekweluleka newemandla,
Moya welwati newekwesaba Simakadze,
3uyawutijabulisa ekwesabeni Simakadze.
Angeke ehlulele ngalakubona ngemehlo akhe,
nome ente sincumo ngalakuve ngetindlebe takhe;
4kodvwa labeswele uyawubehlulela ngekwemtsetfocotfo,
labamphofu belive abehlulele ngekungakhetsi.
Uyawushaya umhlaba ngendvuku yemlomo wakhe;
ngekuphefumula kwemlomo wakhe uyawubulala lababi.
5Kulunga kuyawuba libhande lakhe,
kwetsembeka kube ngumbhenso welukhalo lwakhe.
6Imphisi iyawuhlalisana nelizinyane lemvu,
ingwe iyawulala ndzawonye nembuti;
linkhonyane, nelibhubesi lelincane,
nenkhomo lekhuluphele
kuyawuhlala ndzawonye;
konkhe kuyakweluswa ngumntfwana lomncane.
7Inkhomati iyakudla dlelo linye nelibhele,
emankhonyane ako acambalale ndzawonye,
libhubesi lidle tjani njengenkhabi.
8Luswane luyawudlala ngasemgodzini wemfeti,
kutsi nemntfwana lomncane
afake sandla sakhe emgodzini welibululu.
9Kungeke kulimate futsi kungeke kubulale
nome ngangukuphi entsabeni yami lengcwele,
ngobe umhlaba uyawugcwala kwati Simakadze,
njengobe nemanti agcwalisa lwandle.
Sive lesidzingisiwe siyawuphindze sibuye
10Ngalelo langa iMphandze yaJese iyakuma ibe siboniso kubetive, tive tiyawuhlangana kuyo, indzawo yayo yekuphumula ibe neludvumo. 11Ngalelo langa Simakadze uyakwelula sandla sakhe kwesibili atibutsele imisalela yesive sakhe leyawube isasele e-Asiriya, naseGibhithe Lengentansi, neGibhithe Lengenhla, naseKushe, nase-Elamu, naseBhabhulona, naseHamathi, nasemaveni langaselwandle.
12Uyakuphakamisela tive siboniso,
abutse batfunjwa baka-Israyeli;
uyawuhlanganisa bantfu bakaJuda
labasakatekele emagumbini omane emhlaba.
13Umona wa-Efrayimu uyawunyamalala,
titsa takaJuda ticedvwe nya;
Efrayimu angeke aphindze abe nemona ngaJuda,
naJuda angeke aphindze abe nebutsa ku-Efrayimu.
14Bayawukwehla emaceleni aseFilistiya
bawahlasele enshonalanga,
bobabili bayawuphanga bantfu
labahlala emphumalanga.
Bayawulidla live laka-Edomu nelakaMowabi,
babuse etikwema-Amoni.
15Simakadze uyakomisa
sihlenge selwandle lwaseGibhithe;
uyakwelula sandla sakhe lesinemandla etikweYufrathe,
ayihamule ngemoya loshisako.
Lomfula uyakuwehlukanisa ekhatsi,
ube ngimifula lesikhombisa,
khona bantfu batekwewela bafake tincabule.
16Kuyawuba nemgwaco lomkhulu
wemisalela yesive sakhe
leyawube isele e-Asiriya,
njengobe wawukhona nakubaka-Israyeli
ngesikhatsi baphuma eGibhithe.
