INkosi ikhuluma ngabakwa-Amoni
1Ngabantwana bakwa-Amoni, usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “U-Israyeli akanamadodana na? akanayo indlalifa? Pho kungani inkosi yabo ithatha uGadi futhi ihlalise abantu bayo emizini yakhe?
2Ngalokho bheka, izinsuku ziyeza, usho uJehova, engiyakuhlaba umkhosi wempi eRaba labantwana bakwa-Amoni; liyakuba yinqumbi eyincithakalo, namadodakazi alo ashiswe ngomlilo; u-Israyeli uyakuba yindlalifa yendlalifa yakhe,” usho uJehova.
3Khala, Heshiboni, ngokuba i-Ayi ichithiwe; khalani, madodakazi aseRaba, bhinceni izingubo zokulila; dabukani, nigijimele ezintangweni; ngoba inkosi yabo iyoya ekudingisweni, nabapristi bayo nezikhulu zayo kanyekanye.
4Uziqhayiselani ngezigodi, esigodini sakho esigobhozayo, ndodakazi ehlubukayo? owethemba ingcebo yakhe wathi: Ngubani ozakuza kimi?
5Bheka, ngiyakwehlisela ukwesaba phezu kwakho, isho iNkosi uJehova Sebawoti, phezu kwabo bonke abakuhaqayo; futhi yilowo nalowo kini uyakuxoshwa masinyane; futhi akekho oyobutha odukayo.
6Ngasemuva ngiyakubuyisa ukuthunjwa kwabantwana bakwa-Amoni,” usho uJehova.
7Ngo-Edomi, usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: “Akusekho ukuhlakanipha eThemani na? icebo labahlakaniphileyo libhubhile na? ukuhlakanipha kwabo sekuphelile?
8Balekani, niphenduke, nihlale ekujuleni, nina bakhileyo eDedani. Ngokuba ngiyakwehlisela phezu kwakhe inhlekelele ka-Esawu ngesikhathi sokumhambela kwami.
9Uma abavuna izithelo zomvini befika kuwe, abayikushiya izithelo zomvini na? njengamasela ebusuku, bayochitha baze basuthe.
10Kepha mina ngimambulile u-Esawu, ngambule izindawo zakhe zokucasha, akanakucasha; inzalo yakhe yaphangwa, nabafowabo nomakhelwane bakhe, futhi akasekho.
11Shiya izintandane zakho, mina ngiyakuziphilisa; nabafelokazi benu mabathembele Kimi.
12Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Bheka, labo okwakungesikho ukuphuza endebeni bayakuphuza impela; futhi nguwe oyohamba ungajeziswa nhlobo? ngeke uyeke ukujeziswa, kodwa kumelwe nakanjani uphuze kuso.
13Ngokuba ngizifungile mina, usho uJehova, ukuthi iBhozira liyakuba yincithakalo, nehlazo, nencithakalo, nesiqalekiso; yonke imizi yakhe iyakuba yincithakalo kuze kube phakade.
14Ngase ngizwa umbiko ovela kuJehova, kwathunywa isithunywa ezizweni ukuthi: Buthanani, nimelene nalo, nisukume ukulwa.
15Ngokuba bheka, ngiyakukwenza ube mncane phakathi kwezizwe nodelelekile phakathi kwabantu.
16Ukwesabeka kwakho kukhohlisile, nokuzidla kwenhliziyo yakho, wena ohlala emifantwini yedwala, obambe indawo ephakemeyo yentaba; noma wakha isidleke sakho njengokhozi, ngiyakukwehlisa khona, usho uJehova.
17U-Edomi uyakuba yihlane; wonke umuntu odlulayo uyomangala futhi aklolodelwe ngazo zonke izinhlupho zakhe.
18Njengokuchithwa kweSodoma neGomora nemizi yangakubo, usho uJehova, akuyikuhlala muntu khona, kungahlali muntu khona.
19Bheka, uyakwenyuka njengengonyama emfuleni iJordani, akhuphukele endaweni eyinqaba; kepha ngiyakumbalekela ngokuzuma; ngubani okhethiweyo, engingambeka phezu kwakhe na? ngoba ngubani onjengami? ngubani ongangibekela isikhathi na? ngubani umalusi ongema phambi kwami na?
20Ngakho yizwani icebo likaJehova alicebile ngo-Edomi; namacebo akhe awanqumile kwabakhileyo eThemani: Impela bayakukhipha omncane emhlambini; impela uyakwenza izindawo zabo zokuhlala zibe yihlane kanye nabo.
21Umhlaba uyathuthumela ngomsindo wokuwa kwabo, umsindo wokumemeza kwabo wezwakala oLwandle Olubomvu.
22Bheka, uyokhuphuka andize njengokhozi, elulele amaphiko akhe phezu kweBhozira, futhi ngalolo suku inhliziyo yamaqhawe akwa-Edomi iyoba njengenhliziyo yowesifazane ezindleleni zakhe.
23Mayelana neDamaseku. IHamati ijabhile ne-Aripadi, ngokuba kuzwile izindaba ezimbi; badangele; kukhona ukudabuka olwandle; akukwazi ukuthula.
24IDamaseku yaba buthakathaka yaphenduka ukuba ibaleke; usizi nosizi lwambamba njengobelethayo.
25Yeka ukuthi umuzi wodumo awuzange uhlale kanjani, umuzi wenjabulo yami!
26Ngalokho izinsizwa zakhe ziyakuwa ezitaladini zakhe, nawo onke amaqhawe anqunywe ngalolo suku,” usho uJehova Sebawoti.
27Ngiyakuphemba umlilo odongeni lwaseDamaseku, uqede izindlu zobukhosi zikaBeni Hadadi.
28Mayelana neKedari nangemibuso yaseHasori uNebukadinesari inkosi yaseBabele ayakuyinqoba, usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Suka ukhuphukele eKedari, uphange abantu basempumalanga.
29Bayakuthatha amatende abo nemihlambi yabo; kumelwe bazithathele izindwangu zabo zamatende nazo zonke izitsha zabo namakamela abo; futhi bayobiza kubo: Ukwesaba kusizungezile!
30Balekani, nihambe niye kude, nihlale ekujuleni, nina enakhileyo eHasori,” usho uJehova; ngoba uNebukadinesari inkosi yaseBhabhiloni wenze icebo ngani futhi ucebe icebo ngani.
31Sukumani, nikhuphukele esizweni esicebile, esihlezi ngokulondeka, usho uJehova, esingenamasango nemigoqo, esihlezi sodwa.
32Amakamela abo ayakuba yimpango, nemfuyo yabo eminingi ibe yimpango; futhi labo abasezindaweni ezikude ngiyobahlakazela kuyo yonke imimoya; futhi ngiyoletha ukubhujiswa kwabo kuzo zonke izinhlangothi zalo,” kusho uJehova.
33IHasori liyakuba yindawo yokuhlala kwezimpungushe nehlane kuze kube phakade; akuyikuhlala muntu khona, nendodana yomuntu ayiyikuhlala khona.
34Izwi likaJehova elafika kuJeremiya umprofethi nge-Elamu ekuqaleni kokubusa kukaSedekiya inkosi yakwaJuda, lithi:
35Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: “Bheka, ngiyakwaphula umnsalo wakwa-Elamu, inhloko yamandla abo.
36Ngiyakwehlisela phezu kwe-Elamu imimoya emine evela emagumbini omane ezulu, ngibahlakazele kuyo yonke leyo mimoya; futhi ngeke kube khona isizwe abadingiswa base-Elamu abangayi kufika kuso.
37Ngiyolesabisa i-Elamu phambi kwezitha zalo naphambi kwalabo abafuna ukuphila kwabo; ngiyakubehlisela okubi, intukuthelo yami evuthayo,” usho uJehova; ngiyakuthuma inkemba emva kwabo, ngize ngibaqede.
38Ngiyakubeka isihlalo sami sobukhosi e-Elamu, ngichithe khona inkosi nezikhulu,” usho uJehova.
39Kodwa ekupheleni kwezinsuku ngizabuyisela isabelo se-Elamu,” kutsho uJehova.
