Yeha kwabo Bakholosa ngeYiputa

Amahashe aseYiputa ayinyama, awangumoya; ukukholosa ngawo kukhubekisa umncedi nonceliweyo kunye. UBawo uyingonyama engenakothuswa ngabalusi abamemezayo, uziintaka eziphaphazela phezu kweYerusalem. IAsiriya iwa ngekrele elingaphethwe mntu, baze abantu bazilahle izithixo zabo.

Yeha kwabo besihla besiya eYiputa befuna uncedo, abakholose ngamahashe, abakholosa ngeenqwelo zokulwa ngokuba zizininzi, nangabamahashe ngokuba bomelele kunene—kodwa abambheki oyiNgcwele wakwaSirayeli, uBawo wethu, bengamquqeli. Kanti naye ulisilumko, uzisa intlekele; akawabuyisi umva amazwi akhe. Uya kuvukelana nendlu yabenzi bobubi, noncedo lwabo benza ukungalungisi. AmaYiputa ngabantu, asinguThixo; amahashe awo ayinyama, awangumoya. Xa uBawo wethu esolula isandla sakhe, umncedi uya kukhubeka, nalowo uncediwe awe, bade bonke baphele kunye.

Kuba utsho uBawo wethu kum: Njengengonyama okanye ithole lengonyama lixwitha phezu koqwengiweyo lwalo—nangona igqiza labalusi libizelwa ukulivukela, alothuswa kukumemeza kwabo, alintintelwa sisandi sabo—ngokunjalo uBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini uya kuhla eze kulwa entabeni yeZiyon nasencotsheni yayo. Njengeentaka eziphaphazela phezulu, ngokunjalo uBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini uya kuyikhusela iYerusalem; uya kuyikhusela ayihlangule, uya kuyigabhela ayisindise.

Buyelani kuye lowo abamshiye kangaka oonyana bakaSirayeli. Kuba ngaloo mini elowo uya kuzicekisa izithixo zakhe zesilivere nezithixo zakhe zegolide, enizenzele zona ngesono izandla zenu.

Uya kwandula awe uAsiriya likrele elingelomntu, aze alidle ikrele elingelomntu. Uya kusaba phambi kwekrele, amadodana akhe afakwa uviko. Imboniselo yakhe iya kudilika kungenxa yokothuka, nabathetheli bakhe babaleke bephakuzela bemka kwibhanile yokulwa, utsho uBawo wethu, onomlilo wakhe useZiyon, iziko lakhe liseYerusalem.
