1Ngalezo zinsuku kungekho nkosi kwa-Israyeli, kwakukhona umLevi othile owayegogobele ezintabeni zakwa-Efrayimi, wazithathela isancinza eBetlehema Juda.
2Isancinza sakhe safeba kuye, sasuka kuye, saya endlini kayise eBetlehema Juda, sahlala khona izinyanga ezine.
3Umyeni wakhe wasukuma, wayilandela ukuze akhulume kahle nayo, wayibuyisa, nenceku yakhe kanye nayo nezimbongolo; yamngenisa endlini kayise; uyise womntwana eyibona, wathokoza ukuyihlangabeza.
4Uyisezala, uyise wentombazana, wamgcina; wahlala naye izinsuku ezintathu; badla, baphuza, balala khona.
5Kwathi ngosuku lwesine bevuka ekuseni kakhulu, wavuka ukuba ahambe; uyise wentombazane wathi kumkhwenyana wakhe: “Dumisa inhliziyo yakho ngocezu lwesinkwa, ululandele.”
6Bahlala phansi, badla, baphuza kanyekanye, ngokuba uyise wentombazane wathi endodeni: “Vuma, ulale, futhi inhliziyo yakho ijabule.
7Lapho lowo muntu esesukuma ukuba ahambe, umukhwe wakhe wamncenga; ngalokho wabuye walala khona.
8Wavuka ekuseni kakhulu ngosuku lwesihlanu ukuba ahambe; uyise wentombazana wathi: Dumisa inhliziyo yakho. Bahlala kwaze kwaba semini, badla bobabili.
9Lapho lowo muntu esukuma ukuba ahambe, yena nesancinza sakhe nenceku yakhe, umukhwe wakhe, uyise wendodakazi, wathi kuye: “Bheka, sekusiya kuhlwa, hlalani ubusuku bonke; usuku lukhula luye ekupheleni, hlala lapha, ukuze inhliziyo yakho ijabule; nihambe kusasa ekuseni, ukuze niye ekhaya.
10Kodwa lo muntu akathandanga ukuhlala ngalobo busuku, kodwa wasuka wahamba, wafika eJebusi, okuyiJerusalema; futhi wayeboshelwe izimbongolo ezimbili; nesancinza sakhe sasinaye.
11Lapho sebeseJebusi, usuku lwase ludlule; inceku yathi enkosini yayo: “Woza singene kulo muzi wamaJebusi, silale khona;
12Inkosi yakhe yathi kuye: “Asiyikusuka lapha, siye emzini womfokazi ongesiye owabantwana bakwa-Israyeli; siyakuwelela eGibeya.
13Wathi encekwini yakhe: “Woza sisondele kwenye yalezi zindawo, silale eGibeya noma eRama.”
14Base behamba, bahamba; ilanga lashona beseGibeya yakwaBhenjamini.
15Baphambukela khona ukuze bangene balale eGibeya; esengenile, wamhlalisa esigcawini somuzi; ngoba kwakungekho muntu owabangenisa endlini yakhe ukuze balale.
16Bheka, kwafika ixhegu livela emsebenzini walo kusihlwa livela ensimini, nalo livela ezintabeni zakwa-Efrayimi; wagogobala eGibeya, kepha abantu baleyo ndawo babengabakwaBenjamini.
17Ephakamisa amehlo akhe, wabona isihambi esigcawini somuzi; lathi ixhegu: Uyaphi na? kanti ungowaphi?
18Wathi kuye: “Siyasuka eBetlehema Juda siya eceleni kwentaba yakwa-Efrayimi; Ngasuka lapho, ngaya eBetlehema Juda, kepha manje ngiya endlini kaJehova; futhi kakho ongamukela endlini.
19Nokho kukhona utshani kanye nefolishi lezimbongolo zethu; kukhona futhi isinkwa newayini mina nencekukazi yakho nensizwa ekanye nezinceku zakho; ayintuli lutho.
20Ixhegu lase lisithi: Ukuthula makube kuwe! zonke izinkanuko zenu mazibe phezu kwami; ungahlali nje emgwaqeni.
21Wamngenisa endlini yakhe, wazinika izimbongolo ukudla, bageza izinyawo zabo, badla, baphuza.
22Kwathi besajabula izinhliziyo zabo, bheka, amadoda omuzi, amadodana kaBheliyali, ahaqa indlu, ashaya umnyango, akhuluma kumninindlu, ixhegu, ethi: “Letha ukukhulula.” indoda engene endlini yakho, ukuze simazi.
23Indoda, umninindlu, yaphumela kubo, yathi kubo: “Qha, bazalwane bami, ningenzi okubi okungaka; bhekani ukuthi le ndoda ingene endlini yami, ningenzi lobu buwula.
24Bheka, nansi indodakazi yami, intombi, nesancinza sayo; manje ngiyakubakhipha, ngikuthobe, wenze kubo okuhle emehlweni akho;
25Kepha amadoda awavumanga ukumlalela; indoda yasithatha isancinza sayo, yasiphumisela kubo; bamazi, bamthuka ubusuku bonke kwaze kwasa; kwathi sekuqala ukuntwela ezansi, bamkhulula.
26Owesifazane wafika ekuseni kakhulu, wawela phansi ngasemnyango wendlu yomuntu lapho inkosi yakhe yayikhona, kwaze kwasa.
27Inkosi yakhe yaqeda ekuseni, yavula iminyango yendlu, yaphuma ukuba ihambe; bheka, owesifazane, isancinza sakhe, ewele ngasemnyango wendlu, izandla zakhe zisembundwini.
28Wathi kuye: “Sukuma sihambe.” Kodwa akekho owaphendula. Indoda yamkhwelisa embongolweni, yasukuma indoda, yaya endaweni yayo.
29Lapho efika endlini yakhe, wathatha ummese, wabamba isancinza sakhe, wasihlukanisa ngemilenze yaso saba izicucu eziyishumi nambili, wasithumela kuyo yonke imingcele yakwa-Israyeli.
30Kwathi bonke abakubonayo bathi: “Okunje akukenziwa, akubonwanga kusukela osukwini abantwana bakwa-Israyeli abakhuphuka ngalo ezweni laseGibithe kuze kube namuhla; naka, thola izeluleko futhi ukhulume okucabangayo.
