U-Israyeli Uzachithwa
1 Ngabona uThixo emi phansi kwe-alithari, wasesithi:
“Tshaya izihloko zensika
ukuze imibundu inyikinyeke.
Ziwisele phansi phezu kwamakhanda abantu bonke;
labo abazasala ngizababulala ngenkemba.
Kakho lamunye ozaphunyuka,
kakho ozabaleka.
2 Loba besimba baze bafike ekudepheni kwengcwaba,
isandla sami sizabathatha khonapho.
Loba bekhwela baye phezulu emazulwini,
bekhonapho ngizabehlisela phansi.
3 Loba becatsha engqongweni yeKhameli,
khonapho ngizabadinga ngibabambe.
Loba bengicatshela enzikini yolwandle,
khonapho ngizalaya inyoka ukuba ibalume.
4 Loba izitha zabo zingabasa ekuthunjweni,
khonale ngizalaya inkemba ukuba ibabulale.
Ngizagxilisa amehlo ami kubo
ngenxa yobubi hatshi ngobuhle.”
5 INkosi, uThixo uSomandla,
yena othinta umhlaba uncibilike,
kuthi bonke abahlezi kuwo bakhale,
ilizwe lonke liyaphakama njengoNayili
liphinde litshone phansi njengomfula waseGibhithe,
6 yena owakha indlu yakhe yobukhosi ephakemeyo emazulwini
njalo ubeka isisekelo sakhe phezu komhlaba,
ebiza amanzi olwandle
awathele phezu kobuso bomhlaba,
uThixo yilo ibizo lakhe.
7 “Lina ma-Israyeli,
kimi kalinjengamaKhushi na?”
kutsho uThixo.
“U-Israyeli kangimkhuphanga eGibhithe,
lamaFilistiya eKhafithori,
kanye lama-Aramu eKhiri na?
8 Impela amehlo kaThixo Wobukhosi
aphezu kombuso olesono.
Ngizawukhucula ebusweni bomhlaba
ikanti indlu kaJakhobe
angiyikuyichitha ngokupheleleyo,”
kutsho uThixo.
9 “Ngoba ngizakupha umlayo,
njalo ngizahlungula indlu ka-Israyeli
phakathi kwezizwe zonke
njengokuhlungulwa kwamabele ekhomaneni
njalo akukho hlamvu oluzawela phansi.
10 Izoni zonke phakathi kwabantu bami
zizakufa ngenkemba,
bonke labo abathi,
‘Umonakalo kawuyikusifica loba usihlangabeze.’ ”
Ukubuyiswa Kuka-Israyeli
11 “Ngalolosuku
ngizavusa ithente likaDavida elawayo.
Ngizavala izikhala zalo,
ngivuselele okwadilikayo kwalo,
ngilakhe njengelaliyikho khona,
12 ukuze bathathe insalela ye-Edomi
kanye lezizwe zonke ezizabizwa ngebizo lami,”
kutsho uThixo, ozazenza lezizinto.
13 UThixo uthi, “Zinsuku ziyeza,
lapho ovunayo ezaficwa ngolimayo,
lohlanyelayo aficwe ngokhama amavini.
Iwayini elitsha lizagobhoza ezintabeni,
njalo ligeleze emaqaqeni wonke.
14 Ngizababuyisela abantu bami
bako-Israyeli abathunjwayo.
Bazawakha kutsha amadolobho adilikayo bahlale kuwo.
Bazahlanyela izivini banathe iwayini lazo;
bazakwenza izivande badle izithelo zazo.
15 Ngizagxumeka u-Israyeli elizweni lakhe
angaphindi asitshunwe futhi
elizweni engimnike lona,”
kutsho uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.
