1 Zwanini ilizwi leli lina mankomokazi aseBhashani phezu kweNtaba iSamariya,

lina besifazane elincindezela abayanga lichoboze abaswelayo

beselisithi kubomkenu, "Siletheleni okunathwayo!"

2 UThixo Wobukhosi usefunge ngobungcwele bakhe wathi:

"Isikhathi sizafika impela

lapho elizathathwa khona ngewuka,

owokucina wenu ngewuka yenhlanzi.

3 Lizaphuma ngamunye

ngezikhala emdulini liqonde nta phandle,

njalo lizalahlelwa ngaphandle ngokuya eHamoni,"

kutsho uThixo.

4 "Hambani eBhetheli liyekwenza isono;

hambani eGiligali liyekwenza isono ngokudlulayo.

Lethani imihlatshelo yenu nsuku zonke ekuseni

lokwetshumi kwenu minyaka yonke emithathu.

5 Tshisani isinkwa esilemvubelo njengomnikelo wokubonga

lintele ngeminikelo yenu yokuzithandela

lizikhukhumeze ngayo, lina bako-Israyeli,

ngoba lokhu yikho elithanda ukukwenza,"

kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.

6 "Ngalilethela indlala emadolobheni wonke

lokusweleka kokudla emadolobheni wonke,

kodwa kalibuyelanga kimi,"

kutsho uThixo.

7 "Ngagodla izulu futhi

kusasele inyanga ezintathu ukuba kuvunwe.

Izulu ngalinisa kwelinye idolobho

kodwa ngaligodla kwelinye.

Enye insimu yaba lezulu,

enye kayaze yaba lalo njalo yoma qha.

8 Abantu babhadazela besuka kwelinye idolobho besiya kwelinye befuna amanzi

kodwa kabawatholanga anele ukuba bakholwe,

ikanti kalibuyelanga kimi,"

kutsho uThixo.

9 "Ezikhathini ezinengi ngahlasela izivande zenu lezivini zenu,

ngizihlasela ngesona langengumane.

Izintethe zadla imikhiwa yenu lezihlahla zenu zama-oliva,

kodwa kalibuyelanga kimi,"

kutsho uThixo.

10 "Ngathumela izifo phakathi kwenu

njengengakwenza kweleGibhithe.

Ngabulala izinsizwa zenu ngenkemba

ndawonye lamabhiza enu athunjwayo.

Ngavimbanisa amakhala enu ngomnuko wezihonqo zenu,

kodwa kalibuyelanga kimi,"

kutsho uThixo.

11 "Ngachitha abanye benu

njengalokhu ngachitha iSodoma leGomora.

Lalinjengesikhuni esitshayo esihluthunwe emlilweni,

kodwa kalibuyelanga kimi,"

kutsho uThixo.

12 "Ngakho-ke engizakwenza kuwe Israyeli yilokhu,

njalo njengoba lokhu ngizakwenza kuwe,

zilungisele ukuhlangana loNkulunkulu wakho, wena Israyeli."

13 Yena obumba izintaba,

udala umoya,

aveze lemicabango yakhe ebantwini,

yena oguqula ukusa kube ngumnyama,

anyathele lezindawo eziphakemeyo zomhlaba,

uThixo uNkulunkulu uSomandla yilo ibizo lakhe.
