Isiphrofetho NgeThire
1Isiphrofetho ngeThire.
Lilani Mikhumbi yaseTharishishi,
ngokuba indlu yenu ishatshalalisiwe,
nokungena kwayo
ivela eKhithimi kwambuliwe.
2Thulani nina zakhamuzi zasogwini,
nina bahwebi baseSidoni,
izithunywa zenu ziwele ulwandle,
3emanzini amaningi;
imbewu yaseSihori
nokuvuna kweNayili
kwakuyinzuzo yalo;
laliyindawo izizwe ezazithenga kuyo.
4Yiba nezinhloni wena Sidoni,
ngokuba ulwandle lukhulumile,
inqaba yolwandle, ithi:
“Angisikwanga,
angibelethanga,
angikhulisanga nsizwa,
angondlanga ntombi.”
5Lapho umbiko ufinyelela eGibhithe,
liyoba sebuhlungwini ngenxa yeThire.
6Welelani eTharishishi,
nilile, nina zakhamuzi zasogwini.
7Ngabe ngumuzi wenu lona,
enijabula ngawo,
owavela ezinsukwini zasemandulo,
onyawo zawo zawuthwala
waze wayohlala kude na?
8Ngubani owenze leli cebo ngeThire,
umethwesi wemiqhele,
obahwebi bakhona bekuyizikhulu,
nabathengi bakhona bengabahlonishwayo emhlabeni?
9NguSimakade Wamabandla ocebe lokho,
ukuba konakaliswe ukuziphakamisa
kwabo bonke ubukhosi,
badeleleke bonke abadumileyo bomhlaba.
10Sabalalani nezwe lonke,
nina bomuzi waseTharishishi,
kuhle komfula iNayili
lapho udla izindwani,
ugabha imfunda.
11Isandla sakhe uselulele phezu kolwandle,
wazamazamisa imibuso,
uSimakade uyaleze ngeKhanani
ukuba kudilizwe izinqaba zalo.
12Wathi:
“Awusayukujabula wena ntombi
ethelwe ngehlazo,
ndodakazi yaseSidoni;
vuka, uwelele eKhithimi,
nalapho awuyukukuthola ukuphumula.”
13Bheka izwe lamaKhaledi,
leso sizwe asisekho,
saqedwa yi-Asiriya,
laphenduka indawo yezilwane zasendle.
Lamisa imibhoshongo yokuvimbezela,
izindlu zamakhosi lazenza ize,
izwe laphenduka incithakalo.
14Lilani nina mikhumbi yaseTharishishi,
ngokuba inqaba ibhujisiwe.
15Kusukela ngalolo lusuku, iThire liyolibaleka iminyaka engama-70, isikhathi sokuphila kwenkosi eyodwa. Ekupheleni kweminyaka engama-70, eThire kuyokwenzeka njengokwezwi leculo lesifebe, elithi:
16“Thatha ihabhu,
uhambahambe emzini,
wena sifebe esikhohlakeleyo,
ubethe kamnandi,
uhlabelele izihlabelelo eziningi,
ukuze ukhunjulwe.”
17Kuyothi ngasekupheleni kweminyaka engama-70, uSimakade ahambele iThire, lona libuyele enzuzweni yalo, lifebe nayo yonke imibuso yezwe ebusweni bomhlaba. 18Intengo yalo nenzuzo yalo kuyoba ngcwele kuSimakade; ayiyukunqwatshelwa, ilondolozwe, ngokuba intengo yalo iyoba ngeyabahlala phambi kukaSimakade, ukuze badle, basuthe, babe nezingubo ezinhle.
