UNahumi 3

Maye Kuwe Nineve!
1Maye kuwe muzi ochitha igazi!
Wonke ugcwele inkohliso nempango,
ukuphanga akupheli.
2Kuqhuma isiswebhu,
nomsindo wokugodlozela kwamasondo,
nogabadula kwamahhashi,
nokugxuma kwezinqola.
3Abagibeli bamahhashi bayawagadulisa,
kumenyezela inkemba,
kunyazime ukhonto,
baningi ababuleweyo
nezindumbu ezidindilizile,
akukho ukuphela kwezidumbu;
abantu bayakhubeka ngezidumbu zabo,
4ngokuba budlangile ubufebe
besifebe esibukekayo,
umpetha wokuyenga,
umkhunkuli othengisa izizwe ngobufebe bakhe,
nemindeni ngokukhunkula kwakhe.
5Uyabona-ke, ngimelene nawe;
ngiyakuphakamisa isidwaba sakho
sikwemboze ubuso,
ngikhombise izizwe ubunqunu bakho,
nemibuso ihlazo lakho.
6Ngiyakuphosa phezu kwakho okunengekayo,
ngikubukele phansi,
ngikwenze ube yinhlekisa.
7Kuyakuthi bonke abakubonayo bakubalekele, bathi:
“INineve isiyincithakalo,
ngubani oyakulizwela na?
Ngiyakubafunaphi abaduduzi bakho na?”
8Umuhle yini wena kuneNo Amoni
elaliphakathi kwemifula,
lizungezwe ngamanzi,
ugange lwalo kuwulwandle,
nodonga lwalo kungamanzi na?
9IKhushe neGibhithe kwakungamandla alo angenakuphela;
uPhuthi namaLibhiya kungabasizi bakho.
10Nalo laya ekuthunjweni.
Ekuthunjweni izingane zalo zaphahlazwa
ezinhlanganweni zemigwaqo;
benza unkatho ngezikhulu zalo,
bonke abaholi balo baboshwa ngamaketango.
11Nawe uyakudakwa, ufihlwe;
uyakufuna inqaba yokucashela izitha.
12Zonke izinqaba zakho ziyimikhiwane
enamakhiwane okuqala asevuthiwe;
uma inyakaziswa awela emlonyeni wodlayo.
13Bheka nje, abantu bakho
onabo bangamanina.
Amasango ezwe lakho avulekele izitha zakho,
umlilo uyakungqongqisa imigoqo yakho.
14Zikhelele amanzi ngoba uzovinjezelwa,
uqinise izinqaba zakho;
uxove udaka, ubumbe izitini.
15Lapho uyakukungqongqiswa ngumlilo,
udliwe yinkemba,
ikudle njengesikhonyane,
zandise njengokhumbintethe,
uzandise njengesikhonyane!
16Wandisile abahwebi bakho
ukwedlula izinkanyezi zezulu;
isikhonyane sahluba,
qede sandizela kude.
17Abalindi bakho banjengokhumbintethe,
nezikhulu zakho zifana nequlu lesikhonyane
sihlezi odongeni ngosuku lwamakhaza,
kuthi lapho kuphuma ilanga sindize,
singabe sisaziwa ukuthi sikuyiphi indawo.
18Abelusi bakho balele,
nkosi yase-Asiriya;
abahloniphekileyo bakho bayaphumula;
abantu bakho bahlakazekele ezintabeni,
akekho obaqoqayo.
19Akukho ukwelashwa kokuphuka kwakho;
isilonda sakho sinzima;
bonke abezwa umbiko ngawe bashaya ihlombe,
ngokuba ngubani obungadlulelanga njalo
phezu kwakhe ububi bakho na?
