4 Kanti lingibangisani

Wena Thire leSidoni lezabelo zonke zamaFilisti?

Nxa kuyikuthi liyaphindisela,

Masinyane nje, ngizaphanga ngibuyisele ukuphindisela kwenu phezu kwamakhanda enu.+

 6 Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova,

‘“Ngenxa yamacala amathathu eGaza+ loba amane, angisoze ngibuyele emuva,

Ngoba bathatha lonke iqembu labathunjiweyo+ balisa e-Edomi.

 7 Ngakho ngizathumela umlilo emdulini weGaza,+

Uzatshisa ulobise izinqaba zayo eziqinileyo.

 8 Ngizabhubhisa izakhamizi ze-Ashidodi,+

Lalowo obusayo* e-Ashikheloni.+

Ngizakwelula isandla sami simelane le-Ekhroni,+

Labaseleyo bamaFilisti bazatshabalala,”+ kutsho iNkosi Enkulu uJehova.’

 4 IGaza izakuba lidolobho elideliweyo,

Le-Ashikheloni izakuba lunxiwa.+

I-Ashidodi izaxotshwa emini libalele,

I-Ekhroni yona izasitshunwa.+

 5 I-Ashikheloni izakubona lokhu yesabe,

LeGaza izathuthumela izwe ubuhlungu,

Kube yiso leso lase-Ekhroni ngoba ithemba layo selitshabalele.

IGaza yona izasala ingelankosi,

Le-Ashikheloni isale ingelamuntu.+
