Ukulilela Amakhosana Ako-Israyeli
1 “Qhinqani isililo ngamakhosana ako-Israyeli 2 lithi:
‘Yeka isilwanekazi esasingunyoko
phakathi kwezilwane!
Salala phansi phakathi kwezilwane ezisakhulayo
sondla imidlwane yaso.
3 Sakhulisa omunye wemidlwane yaso
waba yisilwane esilamandla
wafunda ukudabula okubanjelwe ukudliwa,
wadla labantu.
4 Izizwe zezwa ngawo
wasuthiywa egodini lazo.
Zawuhola ngezingwegwe
zawusa elizweni laseGibhithe.
5 Kwathi sibona ithemba laso lingagcwalisekanga,
ithemba laso lingasekho,
sathatha omunye wemidlwane yaso
sawenza waba yisilwane esilamandla.
6 Wanyonyoba phakathi kwezilwane ngoba
wawuyisilwane esilamandla.
Wafunda ukudabula okubanjelwe ukudliwa,
wadla labantu.
7 Wadiliza izinqaba zabo
wachitha lamadolobho abo.
Ilizwe kanye labo bonke ababekulo
bathuthumeliswa yikubhonga kwawo.
8 Izizwe zawuvukela,
zivela ezindaweni eziwuzingelezileyo.
Zendlala amambule azo phezu kwawo
wawela egodini labo.
9 Bawudonsela ekhejini ngezingwegwe
bawusa enkosini yaseBhabhiloni.
Bawufaka entolongweni,
ngakho ukubhonga kwawo akuzwakalanga futhi
ezintabeni zako-Israyeli.
10 Unyoko wayenjengevini
elihlanyelwe ngasemanzini esivinini sakho;
sasithela izithelo njalo silezingatsha ezinengi
ngenxa yamanzi amanengi.
11 Ingatsha zaso zaziqinile
zifanele intonga yombusi.
Sasiphakeme siphezulu le
ngaphezu kwamahlamvu aminyeneyo,
sibonakala ngobude baso
langezingatsha zaso ezinengi.
12 Kodwa sasitshunwa ngokuthukuthela
saphoselwa phansi.
Umoya wasempumalanga wasomisa,
izithelo zaso zaqhululwa;
ingatsha zaso eziqinileyo zabuna
umlilo wazitshisa.
13 Khathesi sesihlanyelwe enkangala,
elizweni elitshisayo lelomileyo.
14 Umlilo umemetheke usuka kolunye lwezingatsha ezinkulu,
watshisa izithelo zaso.
Akulagatsha oluqinileyo oluseleyo kuso
olufanele intonga yombusi.’
Lesi yisililo njalo sizasetshenziswa njengesililo.”
