1 Kodwa kwakukhona labaprofethi bamanga phakathi kwabantu, njengoba lakini kuzakuba khona abafundisi bamanga, abazangenisa ngensitha imfundiso ezehlukanisayo ezichithayo, bephika leNkosi eyabathengayo, bezehlisela ukuchitheka okuphangisayo,
Abhalagi bho lulimi bhabhonekene ku Bhaisraeli, na bheigisha bho lulimi abheja kwemwe. Kulwa imbisike abhaleta ameigisho go lulimi mbamwigana Omukama unu abhagulile. Abheletela obhunyamuke bhwo bhwangu ingulu ya bhene.
2 labanengi bazalandela incithakalo zabo; okungabo indlela yeqiniso izahlanjazwa,
Abhanfu abhalubha jinjila jebhwe ja jinswalo no kutula ku bhene abhaifuma injila ye chimali.
3 njalo emhawini ngamazwi alungisiweyo bazakwenza inzuzo ngani; okulahlwa kwabo kwakudala kakulibalanga, lencithakalo yabo kayiwozeli.
Kwo mutubho abhabhanena abhanu kwo kulabhila emisango jo lulimi indamu yebhwe itakukola, obhunyamuke bhwebhwe obhubhalubha.
4 Ngoba uba uNkulunkulu engaziyekelanga ingilosi ezonayo, kodwa eziphosela esihogweni ezinikela emaketaneni obumnyama ukuze zigcinelwe isigwebo; (Tartaroō )
Kwo kubha Nyamuanga atabhasigile bhamalaika abho bhaindukile. Tali abhesele nyombe koleleki bhabhoywe jingoye okukinga ao indamu yakabhakingile. (Tartaroō )
5 njalo kaliyekelanga ilizwe lendulo, kodwa walondoloza owesificaminwembili uNowa umtshumayeli wokulunga, mhla eletha uzamcolo emhlabeni wabeyisa uNkulunkulu;
Nolwo kutyo Nyamuanga atekomesishe okutegelela insi ya kala. Tali amubhikile Nuhu, oyo ali no bhubhilikilwa bhwo bhulengelesi, amwi na bhandi musanju, ao atatiliye induluma ingulu ya insi eyo yayabhile.
6 ngokuyichitha eyitshisa imizi yeSodoma leGomora waseyilahla, waseyenza isibonelo kulabo abazakweyisa uNkulunkulu;
Nyamuanga alamuye emisi ja Sodoma na Gomora okingila okubha lifu no bhunyamuke koleleki chibhe chijejekanyo ku bhabhibhi mu nsiku jo bhutelo.
7 wasemophula uLothi olungileyo, owahlutshwa yikuhamba ngamanyala kwabangalunganga;
Mbe nawe ejile akola elyo, amwiluye Lutu omunu wo bhulengelesi, oyo aliga abhiilisibhwe na jintungwa jimbibhi eja bhanu bhatakulubha ebhilagilo bhya Nyamuanga.
8 ngoba lowo olungileyo, ehlala phakathi kwabo, ngokubona lokuzwa insuku ngensuku wazwisa ubuhlungu umphefumulo wakhe olungileyo ngemisebenzi yabo engelamthetho;
Kulwo kubha omunu unu wo bhulengelesi, oyo ekaye nabho lusiku kwo lusiku nanyasha omutima gwae kwago ongwaga no kugalola.
9 iNkosi iyakwazi ukubophula ekulingweni labo abamkhonzayo uNkulunkulu, lokubagcina abangalunganga kuze kube lusuku lwesigwebo, bajeziswe;
Kulwejo Latabhugenyi amenyele jinjila jo kubhakisha abhanu bhaye mu katungu ka jinyako no kubhalindilila abhabhibhi okukingila mundamu ku lusiku lwo bhutelo.
10 kodwa ikakhulu bona abalandela inyama enkanukweni engcolileyo, labadelela ubukhosi. Abangakhathaliyo, abalenkani, kabesabi ukuhlambaza ubukhosi;
Bhusi bhusi chinu nicho echimali ku bhanu abhagendelela okwikala mu namba yo mubhili gunu no kugaya. Abhanu bhejabho bhanu bhana libhasi lye mitima jebhwe, bhatakubhaya okugaya abha likusho.
11 kanti ingilosi, ezinkulu ngamandla langengalo, kazilethi isigwebo senhlamba ukumelana labo phambi kweNkosi.
Nolwo kutyo bhamalaika bhali no bhutulo na managa okukila abhanu, bhatakutula okuleta indamu ingulu yebhwe ku Latabhugenyi.
12 Kodwa laba, njengezinyamazana ngemvelo ezingelangqondo ezazalelwa ukubanjwa lokubulawa, bahlambaza izinto abangazaziyo, bazabhujiswa ekuboleni kwazo,
Mbe nawe jintyanyi ejo jitali no bhwenge bhakonjelwe kwo bhusoko bhwo kugwatibhwa no kusingalisibhwa.
13 bazakwemukela umvuzo wokungalungi, abathi kuyintokozo ukuminza emini; bayisici loyangiso, bejabula enkohlisweni zabo, besidla idili lani,
Abhanyolwa kulwo muyelo gwa mabhibhi gebhwe. Mumwisi gwona bhekaye kwa manyamuke. Bhejuye amabhibhi no bhunyamuke. Abhakondelelwa amabhibhi go lulimi mumalya amwi nawe.
14 balamehlo agcwele ubufebe, labangayekeli isono, bayenga imiphefumulo ebuthakathaka, belenhliziyo ezejwayele ubuhwaba, abantwana besiqalekiso;
Ameso gebhwe gafundikiwe no bhushani; bhatakwiwa okukola amabhibhi. Abhabhajiga no kubhagwisha abhekilisha abhalela mubhiyeno. Bhane mitima ejo jijuye inamba, ni bhana abho bhafumilisibhwe.
15 batshiye indlela eqondileyo baduha, balandela indlela kaBalami kaBosori, owathanda inzuzo yokungalungi,
Bhasigile injila ye chimali. Bhabhulile abhalubha injila ya Balaam omwana wa Beori, oyo endele okubhona omuyelo gwo bhujabhi.
16 kodwa waba lokusolwa kwesakhe isiphambeko; ubabhemi oyisimungulu, ekhuluma ngelizwi lomuntu, wanqanda ubuhlanya bomprofethi.
Mbe nawe aganyibhwe ingulu ya mabhibhi gaye. Insikili eyo yaliga ili ntita niloma mu bhulaka bhwo munu, achulesishe olusalo lwo mulagi.
17 Laba bayimithombo engelamanzi, amayezi aqhutshwa yisiphepho, okugcinelwe bona ubumnyama bomnyama kuze kube phakade. ()
Abhanu bhanu ni kuti migela ejo jitali na manji. Ni kuti amele ago agasosibhwao no muyaga. Elile linene libhikilwe ku njuno yebhwe. ()
18 Ngoba bakhuluma okokuziqakisa okweze, babayenga ngenkanuko zenyama langobufebe labo abaphunyuke sibili kubo abahamba ekuduheni,
Abhaloma kwo kwiiyana. Abhagwisha abhanu ku namba yo mubhili. Abhajiga abhanu abho abhalegeja okubhabhilima bhaliya bhekaye mu bhikayo.
19 bebathembisa inkululeko, bona uqobo beyizigqili zokubola; ngoba lowo umuntu ehlulwe ngaye, lakuye wenziwa isigqili.
Abhabhalagila abhanu okwiyangala kenu abhene ona bhali bhagaya bha mabhibhi. Kunsonga omunu kakolwa kubha mugaya wa chinu echo chimukamile.
20 Ngoba uba sebephunyukile ekungcoleni komhlaba ngolwazi lweNkosi loMsindisi uJesu Kristu, besebebuya behilelwa behlulwa yikho, izinto zokucina sezibe zimbi kubo kulezokuqala.
Oyo kesoshayo mu bhibhibhi bhya insi kwo kugwata obhwengeso bhwa Latabhugenyi no mukisha Yesu Kristo, namala nasubhila obhubhibhi obhwo, okubhonekana kwaye okubha kubhibhi okukila kubhwambilo.
21 Ngoba ngabe kwaba ngcono kubo uba babengayazanga indlela yokulunga, kulokuthi sebeyazile bafulathele umlayo ongcwele onikelwe kibo.
Akili abhanu abho bhakasigile okumenya injila yo bhulengelesi kuliko okuimenya mbasubha lindi okusiga ebhilagilo ebhyelu ebhyo bhayanilwe.
22 Kodwa kubehlele lokhu okwesaga esiqinisileyo esithi: Inja ibuyela kwawayo amahlanzo; lengulube ensikazi egezileyo ekugiqikeni edakeni.
Olugani lunu olubha ne chimali ku bhene, “imbwa yasubhila amatanake gayo. Na ingulubhe eyo yosibhwa eisubha lindi mumatoto.”
