₈AmaSirayeli ahamba ezandlala kumaqonga ngamaqonga,

nditsho eziya ngxilimbela zibude bunga ngumthi womsedare,

nokomelela kunga ngum-oki,

ndazitshabalalisa iziqhamo zawo phezulu,

ndazisiphula iingcambu ezantsi.

₁₀Ndim owanikhupha eJiputa,

ndanikhapha amashumi amane eminyaka nisentlango,

nada naya kuhlutha umhlaba wama-Amori.

₁₁Ndim owenza abanye boonyana benu baba *ngabashumayeli,

abanye baba ngamalolo kaNdikhoyo?

Akunjalo yini na, bonyana bakaSirayeli?”

Nguwo lowo umlomo kaNdikhoyo.

₁₂“Loo malolo nina niwangxale iwayini,

*kubashumayeli nathi: ‘Musani ukushumayela.’

₁₃“Mna ke ndiza kunenza nixinge apho nikhoyo,

oku kwenqwelo exinga kukuzala zizithungu.

₁₄Akuyi kusinda noyena unamendu umntu,

nezigantsontso ziya kutsho ziphelelwe ngamandla,

ikroti lingabi nako ukusindisa ubomi balo,

₁₅kunkwantye nkqu neencutshe zeentolo,

imbaleki ingabi nakuphuncuka,

kungasindi nokhwele ehashini.

₁₆Ewe, nelona laziwayo igorha liya kuswantsula zé ngaloo mini.”

Nguwo lowo umlomo kaNdikhoyo.

₁Liveni eli lizwi alibhekisa kuni *uNdikhoyo, bantu bakwaSirayeli,

kuni nalo lonke usapho lwakhe awalukhuphayo eJiputa:

₂“Nini kuphela abantu endabanyulayo kwizizwe zonke zehlabathi;

yiyo ke loo nto ndiza kunohlwaya ngenxa yobugwenxa benu bonke.”

₃Bakha bahamba kunye na ababini bengavani?

₄Kanene, ikhe igqume ehlathini ingonyama ingenalo ixhoba?

Khona, ikhe irgargame ingonyama entsha esikhundleni sayo ingabambanga nto?

₅Yona intaka ikhe ingene kwisabatha apho kungabekwanga mgibe khona?

Sona isigu khe sifane sibambise nje, kungekho nto ibanjiweyo?

₆Kanene, khe kubekho intlaba-mkhosi ingabothusi abantu esixekweni?

Hee, khe kuvele ishwangusha esixekweni lingasuki kuNdikhoyo?

₇Ukanti ke yona iNkosi uNdikhoyo ayenzi nto ingathanga ilityhile icebo layo kwizicaka zayo *abashumayeli.

₈Yakugquma ingonyama, ngubani ongakhwankqiyo?

Yakuthetha iNkosi uNdikhoyo, ngubani ongalayo ukushumayela?

₉Luvakalise olu daba kumabhotwe aseAshdode;

luxele nakumabhotwe aseJiputa, uthi:

“Buthelani ezintabeni zaseSamariya,

niye kubona imbudumbudu ekweso sixeko,

niyijonge ingcinezelo elapho.”

₁₀Utsho uNdikhoyo ukuthi:

“Abo bantu abazani tu nobulungisa;

amabhotwe abo azele zizinto abazizuze ngobugebenga nangokuxhaphaza.”

“Umhlaba wenu uza kurhawulwa ziintshaba,

zinaphule iimpondo,

zithimbe naloo mabhotwe enu.”

“Kuloo maSirayeli athe zava kwezo sofa zaseSamariya,

ehleli kwezo zihlalo zitofo-tofo,

kosinda nje imbinana,

ngathi yimilenze yegusha

okanye isijungqe sendlebe

efane yaxhwilwa ngumalusi emlonyeni wengonyama.”

₁₃Nguwo lo umlomo kaNdikhoyo uThixo onamandla onke:

“Yivani, nize niyilumkise inzala kaYakobi.

₁₄Kaloku ngaloo mini ndomohlwaya uSirayeli ngenxa yeziphoso zakhe,

ndiwadilize amaqonga aseBhetele,

nezo mpondo zawo ndizinqumle ziwe phantsi.

₁₅Ndozichitha izindlu zasebusika nezasehlotyeni,

ndiwatsho abe ngamabhodlo loo mabhotwe ahonjiswe ngamabamba eendlovu,

aphele amapomakazi alapho.”

Nguwo lowo umlomo kaNdikhoyo.
