Zechariah, Chapter 11

1. Vula amasango akho, Lebhanon, uyitshise ngomlilo imisedare yakho.    2. Bhomboloza, msipres, ngokuba kuwe umsedare, ngenxa yokuba iingangamsha zibhuqiwe. Bhombolozani, mioki yaseBhashan, ngokuba lihlahliwe ihlathi elinwabileyo.    3. Yivani ukubhomboloza kwabalusi, ngokuba bubhuqiwe ubungangamsha babo! Yivani ukubharhula kweengonyama ezintsha, ngokuba libhuqiwe iqhayiya laseYordan!    4. Watsho uYehova uThixo wam, ukuthi, Yalusa umhlambi wezixhelwayo;    5. obathengi bawo bawubulalayo, bathi abanatyala; nabathengisa ngawo bathi, Makabongwe uYehova, ndinobutyebi; nabalusi bawo abawucongi.    6. Ngokuba andiyi kubuya ndibaconge abemi behlabathi; utsho uYehova. Yabona, abantu ndibanikela, elowo esandleni sommelwane wakhe, nasesandleni sokumkani wakhe, baliqobe ilizwe, ndingabahlanguli esandleni sabo.    7. Ndawalusa ke umhlambi wezixhelwayo, kunye nezinqinileyo zomhlambi. Ndathabatha iintonga zambini, enye ndathi nguMnandi, enye ndathi nguZintya; ndawalusa ke umhlambi.    8. Ndabetha bathishwaka abalusi abathathu nganyanga-nye; ndazekaneka ngabo, ndanezothe kubo.    9. Ndathi, Andiyi kunalusa; efayo mayife; nethi shwaka mayithi shwaka, neziseleyo mazidlane inyama.    10. Ndathabatha intonga yam, uMnandi, ndayaphula, ukuze ndiwaphule umnqophiso wam endanqophisana ngawo nezizwe zonke.    11. Waphulwa ke ngaloo mini; zazi ngokunjalo ezinqinileyo zomhlambi, ebe zindiphulaphule, ukuba lilizwi likaYehova eli.    12. Ndathi kuwo, Ukuba kulungile emehlweni enu, etheni umvuzo wam; ukuba akulungile, yekani. Bandilinganisela ke umvuzo wam, amashumi amathathu esilivere.    13. Wathi uYehova kum, Yiphose kumbumbi, ixabiso elingengangani, abandimisela lona. Ndawathabatha ke amashumi amathathu esilivere, ndawaphosa kumbumbi endlwini kaYehova.    14. Ndayaphula intonga yam yesibini, uZintya, ukuze ndibutshitshise ubuzalwana phakathi koYuda noSirayeli.    15. Wathi uYehova kum, Phinda uthabathe impahla yomalusi osisimathane.    16. Ngokuba, yabona, ndivelisa umalusi elizweni apha, ongayi kuzivelela eziza kuthi shwaka; akayi kuzifuna ezilusali; akayi kuziphilisa ezaphukileyo; akayi kuzondla ezimiyo; inyama yezityebileyo uya kuyidla, awalimaze amanqina azo.    17. Yeha, umalusi ongento, owulahlayo umhlambi! Ikrele malibe phezu kwengalo yakhe, neliso lakhe lasekunene! Ingalo yakhe iya koma kanye, neliso lakhe lasekunene licime okukanye.
