Umbono ka-Obadiya
1Umbono ka-Obadiya. Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova ngo-Edomi, ithi: ‘Sizwile umbiko ovela kuJehova, futhi isithunywa sithunyiwe phakathi kwezizwe, sithi: Sukani, simvukele ukulwa.’
2Bheka, ngikwenze waba mncane phakathi kwezizwe; udelelekile kakhulu.
3Ukuzidla kwenhliziyo yakho kukukhohlisile, wena ohlala emifantwini yedwala, okhaya lakho liphakeme; othi enhliziyweni yakhe: “Ngubani oyakungehlisela phansi na?
4Noma uziphakamisa njengokhozi, noma ubeka isidleke sakho phakathi kwezinkanyezi, ngiyakukwehlisa khona, usho uJehova.
5Uma amasela efika kuwe njengabaphangi ebusuku, (yeka ukubhujiswa kwakho!) abengayikweba aze asuthe na? uma abavuni bezithelo zomvini befika kuwe, bebengayikushiya izithelo zomvini na?
6Yeka ukuthi ziphenyisiswa kanjani izinto zika-Esawu! zihlolisiswa njani izinto zakhe ezifihliweyo!
7Wonke amadoda esivumelwano sakho akulethile emngceleni; abantu ababenokuthula nawe bakukhohlisile, bakwehlula; abadla isinkwa sakho babeke inxeba phansi kwakho; akukho ukuqonda kuye.
8“Ngalolo suku,” usho uJehova, “ngingayikunquma abahlakaniphileyo kwa-Edomi nezihlakaniphi ezintabeni zakwa-Esawu na?
9Amaqhawe akho, Themani, ayakwethuka, ukuze zonke izintaba zakwa-Esawu zinqunywe ngokubulawa.
10Ngenxa yobudlova bakho kumfowenu uJakobe buyakusibekela, futhi uyonqunywa kuze kube phakade.
11Ngosuku owama ngalo maqondana, mhla abezizwe besusa amabutho akhe nabafokazi bengena emasangweni akhe benza inkatho ngeJerusalema, nawe wawunjengomunye wabo.
12Kodwa kwakungafanele ubheke usuku lomfowenu mhla engowemzini; futhi kwakungafanele ujabule ngabantwana bakwaJuda ngosuku lokubhujiswa kwabo; futhi kwakungafanele ukhulume ngokuzidla ngosuku losizi.
13Kwakungafanele ungene esangweni labantu bami ngosuku lwenhlekelele yabo; yebo, ubungafanele ubheke usizi lwabo ngosuku lwenhlekelele yabo, noma ubeke izandla phezu kwempahla yabo ngosuku lwenhlekelele yabo;
14Futhi bekungafanele ume ezimpambanweni zezindlela ukuze uqothule abaphunyukileyo; nabasalayo osukwini lwenhlupheko anizange nizinikele.
15Ngoba usuku lweNkosi luseduze phezu kwezizwe zonke; njengoba wenze, kuyakwenziwa kuwe; inkokhelo yakho iyobuyela ekhanda lakho.
16Ngokuba njengalokho niphuzile entabeni yami engcwele, ziyakuphuza kanjalo zonke izizwe, ziphuze, zidle, zibe sengathi azigezwanga.
17Kodwa eNtabeni yaseSiyoni kuyoba khona insindiso, futhi kuyoba khona ubungcwele; indlu kaJakobe iyakudla ifa layo.
18Indlu kaJakobe iyakuba ngumlilo, nendlu kaJosefa ibe yilangabi, indlu ka-Esawu ibe ngamabibi, bawuthungele bayiqede; futhi akuyikusala lutho lwendlu ka-Esawu; ngoba uJehova ukukhulumile.
19Abasuka eningizimu bayakudla ifa lentaba yakwa-Esawu; nabasethafeni, amaFilisti, badle ifa lensimu yakwa-Efrayimi nensimu yaseSamariya; uBenjamini uyakudla iGileyadi.
20Isiphetho sale butho labantwana bakwa-Israyeli siyakuthatha okwamaKhanani kuze kube seSarefati; abathunjwa baseJerusalema abaseSefaradi bayodla ifa lemizi yaseningizimu.
21Abasindisi bayokhuphukela entabeni yaseSiyoni ukuze bahlulele intaba ka-Esawu; futhi umbuso uyakuba ngokaJehova.
