UJehova ukhuluma ngoMowabi
1NgoMowabi usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: “Maye kulo iNebo! ngoba lonakele; IKiriyatayimi laba namahloni, lathathwa; UMisgabi unamahloni futhi uthukile.
2Akusayikuba khona ukudunyiswa kwaMowabi; eHeshiboni bacebe okubi ngaye; wozani silinqume esizweni. Futhi uyakunqunywa, Madmen; inkemba iyakukusukela.
3Izwi lokumemeza livela eHoronayimi, ukubhujiswa nokubhujiswa okukhulu.
4UMowabi uyachithwa; abancane bakhe bakhala.
5Ngokuba emmangweni waseLuhiti kuyakuba khona ukukhala njalo; ngoba ekwehleni kweHoronayimi izitha zezwa ukukhala kwencithakalo.
6Balekani, nisindise ukuphila kwenu, nibe njengesihlava ehlane.
7Ngokuba ngenxa yokuthi nathembela emisebenzini yenu nasengcebweni yenu, nani niyoboshwa; futhi uKemoshi uyophuma aye ekudingisweni kanye nabapristi bakhe nezikhulu zakhe.
8Umchithi uyakufikela yonke imizi, akuyikuphunyuka muzi; isigodi siyakubhubha, ithafa libe yihlane, njengalokho uJehova ekhulumile.
9Nika uMowabi amaphiko ukuba abalekele, aphunyuke; ngoba imizi yakhe izakuba yinkangala, kungahlali muntu kuyo.
10Uqalekisiwe owenza umsebenzi kaJehova ngenkohliso, futhi uqalekisiwe ogodla inkemba yakhe egazini.
11UMowabi waphumula kwasebusheni bakhe, wahlala esihlalweni sakhe, akathululwanga kwesinye isitsha ngesitsha, akayanga ekudingisweni; ngalokho ukunambitha kwakhe kwahlala kuye, nephunga lakhe aliguqukanga.
12Ngakho bhekani, izinsuku ziyeza, usho uJehova, lapho ngiyakuthuma abazulazulayo kuye abayakubazulazula, bathulule izitsha zabo, baphule amasaka abo.
13UMowabi uyakuba namahloni ngoKemoshi, njengalokho indlu yakwa-Israyeli yaba namahloni ngeBethele ekuthembeleni kwayo.
14Nisho kanjani ukuthi: “Singamadoda anamandla nanamandla empi na?
15UMowabi uphangiwe, wakhushulwa emizini yakhe, nezinsizwa zakhe ezikhethiweyo ziyile ekubulaweni, isho iNkosi egama layo linguJehova Sebawoti.
16Inhlekelele kaMowabi iseduze ukuza, futhi usizi lwakhe luyashesha.
17Nonke nina enimzungezile nilile ngaye; futhi bonke abalaziyo igama lakhe bathi: Yeka ukwaphulwa kodondolo oluqinile noswazi oluhle!
18Indodakazi yakho ehlala eDiboni yehla enkazimulweni yakho, ihlezi ngokoma; ngokuba umchithi wakwaMowabi uyakunifikela, achithe izinqaba zenu.
19Mani endleleni, nina enakhileyo e-Aroweri, nibuke; buza obalekayo nophunyukileyo, uthi: ‘Kwenzenjani?
20UMowabi unamahloni; ngoba libhidliziwe: lilani lilile; Kutsheleni e-Arinoni ukuthi uMowabi uphangiwe,
21Futhi ukwahlulelwa kwehlela emaphandleni; phezu kweHoloni, naseJahasa naseMefaat,
22naseDiboni, naseNebo, naseBeti-Dibilatayimi;
23naseKiriyatayimi, naseBeti-Gamule, naseBetimeyoni;
24naseKeriyoti, naseBosira, naphezu kwayo yonke imizi yezwe lakwaMowabi, ekude noma eseduze.
25Uphondo lukaMowabi lunqunyiwe, nengalo yakhe yaphukile,” usho uJehova.
26Mdakiseni, ngokuba uzikhukhumezile kuJehova; UMowabi naye uyakuhuquza ebuhlanzweni bakhe, naye abe usulu.
27Ngokuba u-Israyeli wayengesiyo inhlekisa kuwe na? wafunyanwa phakathi kwamasela na? ngoba selokhu ukhulumile ngaye, ugxume ngokuthokoza.
28Nina enakhileyo kwaMowabi, shiyani imizi, nihlale edwaleni, nibe njengejuba elakha isidleke salo emaceleni omlomo womgodi.
29Sikuzwile ukuzidla kukaMowabi, uzidla, ukuzidla kwakhe, nokuzidla kwakhe, nokuzidla kwakhe, nokuzidla kwenhliziyo yakhe.
30Ngiyayazi intukuthelo yakhe,” usho uJehova; kodwa akuyikuba njalo; amanga akhe ngeke asebenze kanjalo.
31Ngalokho ngiyakukhalela uMowabi, ngikhale ngoMowabi wonke; inhliziyo yami izolilela amadoda aseKirheresi.
32Wena mvini waseSibima, ngiyakukhalela ngokukhala kukaJaseri; izitshalo zakho zawela ulwandle, zafinyelela olwandle lwaseJaseri; umchithi uwile ezithelweni zakho zasehlobo nasekuvunweni kwakho kwemivini.
33Ukuthokoza nokuthokoza kwasuswa ensimini enkulu nasezweni lakwaMowabi; ngenza ukuba iwayini liphele ezikhamweni zewayini; akekho oyonyathela ngentokozo; ukumemeza kwabo akuyikuba ngukuthokoza.
34Kusukela ekumemezeni kusukela eHeshiboni kuze kube se-Elale naseJahazi, baphakamisa izwi labo, kusukela eSowari kuze kube seHoronayimi, njengethokazi elineminyaka emithathu; ngokuba amanzi aseNimrimi ayakuba yihlane.
35Futhi ngiyakwenza ukuba kuphele kwaMowabi,” usho uJehova, “ohlabela ezindaweni eziphakemeyo noshunqisa umusi aye konkulunkulu bakhe.
36Ngakho inhliziyo yami izakhala phezu kukaMowabi njengemitshingo, lenhliziyo yami ikhale njengemitshingo ebantwini beKhiriheresi, ngoba inotho ayizuzileyo ibhubhile.
37Ngokuba onke amakhanda ayakuba yimpandla, nazo zonke izilevu zigundiwe; kuzo zonke izandla kube khona ukusikwa, nendwangu yesaka ezinkalweni zonke.
38Phezu kwezindlu zonke zakwaMowabi nasezitaladini zakhe kuyakuba khona isililo, ngokuba ngimaphulile uMowabi njengento engemnandi,” usho uJehova.
39Bayakukhala bathi: “Yeka ukudilizwa! uphendukile kanjani uMowabi enamahloni! kanjalo uMowabi uyakuba yinhlekiso nokwesaba nxazonke zakhe.
40Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Bheka, uyandiza njengokhozi, elulele amaphiko akhe phezu kukaMowabi.
41IKeriyoti ithunjiwe, nezinqaba ziyathuthumela, nezinhliziyo zamaqhawe akwaMowabi ngalolo suku ziyakuba njengenhliziyo yowesifazane ezindleleni zakhe.
42UMowabi uyakuchithwa angabi yisizwe, ngokuba uzikhukhumezile kuJehova.
43Ukwesaba nomgodi nogibe kuphezu kwakho wena owakhileyo kwaMowabi,” usho uJehova.
44Obalekela ukwesaba uyawela emgodini; futhi lowo ophuma emgodini uyobanjwa ogibeni; ngoba ngiyoletha phezu kwalo unyaka wokuhanjelwa kwabo phezu kukaMowabi,” kusho uJehova.
45Ababalekayo bema emthunzini weHeshiboni ngenxa yamandla, kepha umlilo uyakuphuma eHeshiboni, nelangabi phakathi kukaSihoni, lidle ikona likaMowabi nekhanda labahlukumezi.
46Maye kuwe Mowabi! abantu baseKamoshi bayabhubha, ngokuba amadodana akho athunjiwe, namadodakazi akho njengabathunjwa.
47Kodwa ngizobuyisela inkatho yakwaMowabi ekupheleni kwezinsuku,” kusho uJehova. Kuze kube manje ukwahlulelwa kukaMowabi.
