Chapter 11
1 Kophuma igatya esiphunzini sikaYese, kuqhame ihlumelo ezingcanjini zakhe;
2 ahle ahlale phezu kwalo uMoya kaYehova, umoya wobulumko nowengqondo, umoya wecebo nowobugorha, umoya wokwazi nowokoyika uYehova.
3 Ivumba elithozamisayo kuye likukoyika uYehova, angagwebi ngokokubona kwamehlo akhe, angohlwayi ngokokuva kweendlebe zakhe.
4 Uya kuligweba ityala lezisweli ngobulungisa, abalungiselele abalulamileyo behlabathi ngokuthe tye, alibethe ihlabathi ngentonga yomlomo wakhe, ambulale ongendawo ngomoya wemilebe yomlomo wakhe.
5 Yoba bubulungisa iqamesi lesinqe sakhe, ibe yintembeko iqamesi lamanqe akhe.
6 Ingcuka iya kuhlala nemvana, ingwe ibuthe netakane lebhokhwe; kubuthe ndawonye ithole lenkomo, nengonyama entsha, nenkomo etyetyisiweyo; nomntwana aziqhube ezo zinto.
7 Ithokazi lenkomo nemazi yebhere ziya kudla utyani ndawonye, amankonyana azo abuthe ndaweni-nye; ingonyama idle umququ njengenkomo;
8 adlale umntwana owanyayo emngxunyeni wephimpi, olunyulweyo ase isandla sakhe elukhozweni lweliso lerhamba.
9 Ezo zinto aziyi kwenza bubi, aziyi konakalisa ezintabeni zam zonke ezingcwele; ngokuba ilizwe liya kuzala kukwazi uYehova, njengamanzi egubungele ulwandle.
10 Kuya kuthi ngaloo mini, ihlumelo likaYese, elimele ukuba yibhanile yezizwe, iintlanga ziquqele kulo; nendafo yokuphumla kwalo ibe bubuqaqawuli.
11 Kuya kuthi ngaloo mini, iNkosi isiphindise okwesibini isandla sayo sokuwathenga siwakhulule amasalela abantu bayo, aya kusala eAsiriya, naseYiputa, nasePatros, nakwaKushi, nakwaElam, naseShinare, naseHamati, naseziqithini zolwandle:
12 izinyusele ibhanile iintlanga, ibahlanganise abagxothiweyo bakwaSirayeli, izibuthe iintsali zakwaYuda emasondweni omane ehlabathi.
13 Losuka ikhwele likaEfrayim, banqunyulwe ababandezeli bakaYuda. UEfrayim akayi kumkhweletela uYuda, uYuda angambandezeli uEfrayim.
14 Bophaphazela egxalabeni lamaFilisti, babheke ngasentshonalanga. Baya kudibana baphange oonyana basempumalanga, base isandla kooEdom noMowabhi; oonyana baka-Amon babeve.
15 UYehova wosisingela phantsi isibhaxa solwandle lwaseYiputa, alingise ngesandla sakhe kuwo uMlambo ekuvutheni komoya wakhe, awubethe ube yimilanjana esixhenxe, abaweze beneembadada.
16 Kuya kubakho umendo wamasalela abantu bakhe, abaya kusala eAsiriya, njengoko kwaba njalo kumaSirayeli, mini anyuka ephuma ezweni leYiputa.
