IBhashan neKarmele iyatshaza;

Akuvela umhlaba uyarhwaqela,

Ingqumbo yakhe iphokoka njengomlilo;

Nangona ndakubandezelayo, Juda,

ngoku andiyi kuphinda.

₁₃Idyokhwe yabo ndiza kuyaphula;

ewe, ndoyisusa entanyeni yakho,

ndiziqhawule iimbophelelo zakho.”

₁₄UNdikhoyo umisele umyalelo ngawe, Niniva:

“Wena akuyi kuba nasizukulwana;

igama lakho aliyi kuhlwayeleka.

Ndoyitshabalalisa imifanekiso eqingqiweyo netyhidiweyo

apho kuloo ndlu yothixo wakho.

Sendikumbela ingcwaba,

kuba uphuthile.”

₁₅Khawukhangele phaya ezintabeni;

nazo iinyawo zalowo uzisa iindaba ezimnandi,

Anisayi kuphinda nihlaselwe sisikhohlakali;

sona sitshatyalaliswe kwaphela.

₁Nanko umchitha-chithi esiza, Niniva!

Khusela inqaba yakho!

Nendlela mayihlale yalusiwe.

Xhoba uhlale ugcisile.

Yomelela uzimisele kangangoko!

₂*UNdikhoyo uyasibuyisa isidima sikaYakobi;

ewe, uyasibuyisa isidima sikaSirayeli,

nakuba iintshaba zambhukuqayo,

zatshabalalisa nesidiliya sembala.

₃Amakhaka amajoni akhe abomvu;

ziinto ezivathe ngezimsobo.

Iinqwelo zawo ziyamenyezela

mhla sekusithiwa lifile;

alekuza ngemikhonto.

₄Nazo iinqwelo zigaleleka ezintilini,

zibetha zibuyelela emathafeni,

zimenyeza ngathi zizibane,

ziqhwanyaza ngathi yimibane.

₅Izinxiba-mxhaka ziyabizwa;

zihamba zigxalathelana.

Nazo zigaleleka kudonga lwesixeko;

ewe, zitwabulula ikhaka lokuzikhusela.

₆Gengelele – avulwa amasango omlambo!

Hi-i-i – lawa ibhothwe!

₇Kumiselwe ukuthinjwa kweNiniva;

izicaka zayo nazo zililisela.

Zitsho ngozungu ngathi ngamahobe,

zibek' izandl' entloko.

₈INiniva suka yanjengechibi elimanzi atyhobozayo.

Bathi: “Kahleni, kahleni!”

kodwa abanyeki nokunyeka.

₉Nantso isiliva, zithathele.

Zenzele, nantso negolide.

Hayi, asipheli esi sitha;

ubutyebi yimfumba koovimba.

₁₀Bayivuthulule bayithimba bayibhodloza.

Waphukile umoya wabantu;

suka bangenelwa yingevane;

ewe, babanjwe kukungcangcazela,

ubuso butsho bambatsha.

₁₁Iphi ke indlu yengonyama?

Siphi isikhundla apho ebesondlelwa khona amathole,

apho bezihamba khona iinkunzi neemazi namathole,

zingaphazanyiswa nto?

₁₂Ingonyama iwazingelele amthole ayo,

oogxa bayo yabaqwengela amaxhoba;

imingxuma yayo iyizalise ngenyama,

isikhundla sayo siphuphuma okuqwengiweyo.

₁₃Nanku umlomo kaNdikhoyo onamandla onke:

“Uyabona, ndikuchasile.

Iinqwelo zakho zokulwa ndozifaka umlilo;

iingonyama zakho eziselula zodliwa likrele.

Ndoliphelisa ehlabathini ixhoba lakho;

ilizwi lezigidimi zakho soze libuye livakale.”

₁Mawoo, sixekondini samagazi,

ntondini ephuphuma ubuxoki,

into emaxhoba maninzi kunene,

ekuxhaphaza kungenalo nekhefu!

₂Naso sihlwahlwaz' isabhokhwe,

atsho akraxalaza namavili.

Ewe, ayagqabadul' amahashe;

zigoqoza ngamandla iinqwelo.

₃Umkhosi wabamahashe ugalelekile,

utsho ngaloo makrele akhazimlayo.

Hayi ukumenyezela kwemikhonto!

Ewe, kujub' ugodo ngapha nangapha.

Hayi, akuzidumbu zibelekene!

Yinyambalala imizimba yabafi;

uba ngahamba ukhubeka kuyo.

₄Yonke loo nto kukuphum' izandla kobuhenyu behenyukazi elinombizane,

igcisa lemilingo elazikhobozayo izizwe,

ngobuthi balo lazichan' iintlanga.

₅Nanku umlomo kaNdikhoyo onamandla onke:

“Ndichasene nawe, Niniva!

Ndokuhluba izambatho zakho ziye kufika ebusweni,

iintlanga ndizivezele ubuze bakho,

izikumkani zilibone ihlazo lakho.

₆Ndiza kukubhaxeka ngobunyhuku-nyhuku,

Ewe, ndokuphatha ngolunya,

ndikutsho ube sisigculelo.

₇Abakubonayo bongcachela phaya,

besithi: ‘Kaloku iNiniva seyingamabhodlo.

Yaz'ba ingalilelwa ngubani na?

Ndingambhaqa phi onokukuthuthuzela?’ ”

₈Ngaba wena ungcono kuneNo-amon

eyayimi phezu kweNayile,

leyo yayijikelezwe ngamanzi

afana nolwandle olulixhadi layo,

manzi lawo aludonga lwayo?

₉Amandlakazi ayo inguKushe noJiputa,

intong' esekhosi inguPuti noLibhiya.

₁₀Nakuba kunjalo yathinjwa,

bahamba baya kutshona ebukhobokeni,

ke bona oozimveku yaba ziziqwenga;

ube ngajikela kule kona ibe zizo.

Izikhulu zaqashwa oku kwenyama,

amadoda azivayo suka akhonkxwa.

₁₁Nawe kambe uza kushusha,

uzame ukuzimela,

ufune ukuzikhusela ezintshabeni zakho.

₁₂Iinqaba zakho zofana nemikhiwane;

nditsho leyo ilulibo luvuthiweyo.

Umthi lowo uthi ungashukunyiswa

amakhiwane adibane nokutyiwa.

₁₃Khawujonge imikhosi yakho!

Awu, bafazi bakwabani!

Amasango elizwe lakho avulwe gabalala;

Lokugeqa ngathi ziinkumbi,

noba unganda njengeentothoviyane,

unyakazele njengeentethe.

₁₆Abarhwebi bakho bandile;

bangaphezu kwazo neenkwenkwezi.

Njengeenkumbi banqunqa konke, bemke.

₁₇Abalindi bakho nqwa neenkumbi;

amagosa akho anjengebubu leentethe

elihlala eludongeni mhla ngengqele,

kwakuvela ilanga lisabe,

lingaze laziwe mntu.

₁₈Ke wena, kumkani waseAsiriya,

abelusi bakho bona balele,

izikhulu zakho zilel' obentlombe.

Abantu bakho bathe saa ezintabeni;

ewe, abanaye namqokeleli.

₁₉Uduma lwakho alunakunyangeka;
