1 Manje kwacala kwaba khona sicalekiso lesikhulu kulo lonkhe live ngenca yebubi bebantfu, ngendlela yekutsi, uma umuntfu abeka lithulusi lakhe noma inkemba yakhe eshelufini lakhe, noma endzaweni lapho abetawuligcina khona, buka, ngakusasa, bekangeke asalitfola, sasisikhulu kakhulu sicalekiso eveni.

2 Ngaloko-ke wonkhe muntfu wanamatsela kuloko lobekukwakhe, ngetandla takhe, futsi bekangaboleki noma abolekise; wonkhe umuntfu bekagcina umphini wenkemba yakhe esandleni sangesekudla, kute avikele lokungekwakhe nemphilo yakhe neyebafati kanye kanye neyebantfwana bakhe.

3 Manje, emvakweminyaka lemibili, emvakwekufa kwaSharedi, buka, kwavela umnakaboSharedi naye walwa naKhoriyanthuma, lapho Khoriyanthuma amehlula khona wamcosha wate wayomfaka ehlane lase-Akhishi.

4 Futsi kwenteka kutsi umnakaboSharedi walwa naye ehlane lase-Akhishi; imphi yaba matima kakhulu, netinkhulungwane letiningi tafa ngenkemba.

5 Futsi kwenteka kutsi Khoriyanthuma wavimba ehlane; umnakaboSharedi waphuma ehlane ebusuku, wabulala incenye yelibutfo laKhoriyanthuma, ngesikhatsi badzakiwe.

6 Weta eveni laMoron, watibeka esihlalweni sebukhosi saKhoriyanthuma.

7 Futsi kwenteka kutsi Khoriyanthuma wahlala nelibutfo lakhe ehlane sikhatsi lesingangeminyaka lemibili, lapho atfola khona emandla lamakhulu ebutfweni lakhe.

8 Manje umnakaboSharedi, libito lakhe bekunguGileyadi, naye ngalokunjalo watfola emandla lamakhulu ebutfweni lakhe, ngenca yemacembu layimfihlo.

9 Futsi kwenteka kutsi umphristi wakhe lomkhulu wambulala ngesikhatsi ahleti esihlalweni sakhe sebukhosi.

10 Futsi kwenteka kutsi munye wemacembu layimfihlo wambulalela endleleni lesekusitsekeni, watitsatsela umbuso, libito lakhe bekunguLibi; futsi Libi bekayindvodza lendze kakhulu, ngetulu kwawo onkhe emadvodza emkhatsini wabo bonkhe bantfu.

11 Futsi kwenteka kutsi ngemnyaka wekucala waLibi, Khoriyanthuma weta eveni laMoron, walwa naLibi

12 Futsi kwenteka kutsi walwa naLibi, lapho Libi wamshaya emkhonweni kangangoba walimala; noko, libutfo laKhoriyanthuma lamhlasela Libi, wabalekela eminceleni ngaselugwini lwelwandle.

13 Futsi kwenteka kutsi Khoriyanthuma wamlandzela, Libi walwa naye khona ngaselugwini lwelwandle.

14 Futsi kwenteka kutsi Libi walishaya libutfo laKhoriyanthuma, kangangoba babalekela ehlane lase-Akhishi.

15 Futsi kwenteka kutsi Libi wamlandzela wate wefika ematsafeni ase-Agoshi. Khoriyanthuma besekatsetse bonkhe bantfu wabaleka nabo ngesikhatsi abalekela Libi kuleyoncenye yelive lapho bekabalekele khona,

16 Futsi ngesikhatsi asafike ematsafeni ase-Agoshi walwa naLibi, wamshaya wate wafa; noko, umnakaboLibi wabuya watawukulwa naKhoriyanthuma esikhundleni sakhe, imphi yaba matima kakhulu, lapho Khoriyanthuma waphindze wabalekela libutfo lemnakaboLibi.

17 Manje libito lemnakaboLibi bekunguShizi. Futsi kwenteka kutsi Shizi wacosha Khoriyanthuma, wabhubhisa emadolobha lamaningi, wabulala besifazane kanye nebantfwana, washisa nemadolobha.

18 Futsi kwesatjwa kwaShizi kwagcwala live lonkhe; yebo, kukhala kwagcwala live lonkhe—Ngubani longema phambi kwelibutfo laShizi na? Bukani, uyalibhubhisa lelive phambi kwakhe!

19 Futsi kwenteka kutsi bantfu bacala kubutsana ndzawonye ngemabutfo, eveni lonkhe.

20 Futsi behlukana; incenye yabo yabalekela ebutfweni laShizi, kwatsi lenye incenye yabo yabalekela ebutfweni laKhoriyanthuma.

21 Beseyibe yinkhulu yaphindze yadvonsa imphi, futsi bese sibesidze kakhulu nesehlakalo sekucitseka kwengati kanye nekubulawa kwebantfu labaningi, kangangekutsi lonkhe live beselimbonywe tidvumbu talabafile.

22 Futsi imphi yaphangisa yaphindze yashesha kakhulu kangangekutsi kwababete namunye lowasala kutsi angcwabe labafile, kodvwa besuka ekucitseni ingati baya kulokunye kucitsa ingati, bashiya tidvumbu temadvodza, besifazane kanye nebantfwana tisabalele eveni, kutsi tibe kudla kwetimphetfu tenyama

23 Liphunga lato lagcwala live, ngisho kulo lonkhe live; ngaloko-ke bantfu bakhatsateka imini nebusuku, ngenca yeliphunga lato.

24 Noko, Shizi akayekelanga kumcosha Khoriyanthuma, ngoba bekafungile kutiphindziselela kuKhoriyanthuma ngengati yemnakabo, lobekabulewe, kanye nasevini leNkhosi leleta ku-Etheri kutsi Khoriyanthuma angeke afe ngenkemba.

25 Ngako-ke siyabona kutsi iNkhosi yabahambela ngentfukutselo yayo lephelele, futsi bubi kanye netinengiso tabo bese kuyilungisile indlela yekubhujiswa kwabo lokungapheli.

26 Futsi kwenteka kutsi Shizi wamcosha Khoriyanthuma waya ngasemphumalanga, eminceleni ngaselugwini lwelwandle, lapho wefike walwa naShizi sikhatsi lesingangetinsuku letintsatfu.

27 Kwaba kubi kakhulu kubhujiswa emabutfweni aShizi kangangekutsi bantfu bacala kwesaba, bacala kuwabalekela emabutfo aKhoriyanthuma; babalekela eveni laseKorihori, babulala embikwabo labebahlala khona, bonkhe labo labebangafuni kuhlangana nabo.

28 Babese bemisa emathende abo esigodzini saseKorihori; Khoriyanthuma yena wamisa akhe emathende esigodzini saseShuri. Manje sigodzi saseShuri besidvutane neligcuma iKominori; ngaloko-ke, Khoriyanthuma wabutsela ndzawonye emabutfo akhe egcumeni iKominori, washayela emabutfo aShizi licilongo kuwabita kutsi aphume batawukulwa.

29 Futsi kwenteka kutsi beta, kodvwa baphindze bacoshwa babuyiselwa emuva; babuya kwesibili, baphindze bacoshwa babuyiselwa emuva kwesibili. Futsi kwenteka kutsi beta kwesitsatfu, lapho imphi yaba matima kakhulu.

30 Futsi kwenteka kutsi Shizi washaya Khoriyanthuma kangangekutsi wamlimata kakhulu; Khoriyanthuma alahlekelwe yingati yakhe, waculeka, watsatfwa shengatsi ufile

31 Manje kulahlekelwa ngemadvodza, besifazane kanye nebantfwana etinhlangotsini totimbili kwaba kukhulu kakhulu kangangekutsi Shizi wayaleta bantfu bakhe kutsi bangasawacoshi emabutfo aKhoriyanthuma; ngaloko-ke, babuyela enkanjini yabo.
