IJuda LeJerusalema Yahlulelwa Kanye Lezinye Izizwe.
UJuda Ukhuthazwa Ukuthi Aphenduke
1 Buthanani ndawonye, buthanani ndawonye,
wena sizwe esiyangisayo,
2 isikhathi esimisiweyo singakafiki
losuku ludlule njengamakhoba,
ukuthukuthela okwesabekayo kukaThixo
kungakafiki kuwe,
usuku lolaka lukaThixo
lungakafiki kuwe.
3 Dingani uThixo, lonke lina abathobekileyo belizwe,
lina elenza lokho akulayayo.
Dingani ukulunga, dingani ukuthobeka;
mhlawumbe lingavikelwa
ngosuku lwentukuthelo kaThixo.
Ukumelana LeFilistiya
4 IGaza izadelwa
le-Ashikheloni isale isingamanxiwa.
Abantu base-Ashidodi bazaxotshwa emini,
le-Ekroni isitshulwe.
5 Maye kini lina elihlala ngasolwandle,
lina sizwe samaKherethi;
ilizwi likaThixo limelana lani,
wena Khenani, lizwe lamaFilistiya.
“Ngizakutshabalalisa,
njalo kakho ozasala.”
6 Ilizwe elingasolwandle
lizakuba yindawo yabelusi
lezibaya zezimvu.
7 Ilizwe lizakuba
ngelabaseleyo abendlu kaJuda;
bazathola amadlelo khona.
Kusihlwa bazalala phansi
ezindlini zase-Ashikheloni.
UThixo uNkulunkulu wabo uzabalondoloza;
uzabenza baphumelele futhi.
Ukumelana LeMowabi Le-Amoni
8 “Ngizizwile izithuko zeMowabi
lokuchothoza kwama-Amoni,
abathuka abantu bami
besongela lelizwe labo.
9 Ngakho ngeqiniso elinjengoba ngikhona,”
kutsho uThixo uSomandla,
uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli,
“impela iMowabi izakuba njengeSodoma,
ama-Amoni abe njengeGomora,
indawo yokhula lemigodi yetshwayi,
ilizwe elichithekileyo nini lanini.
Abaseleyo babantu bami bazabaphanga;
abaphephileyo babantu bami bazathatha ilizwe labo.”
10 Lokhu yikho abazakuthola kungumvuzo wokuzigqaja kwabo,
ngenxa yokuthuka lokuklolodela
abantu bakaThixo uSomandla.
11 UThixo uzakwesabeka kubo
lapho esetshabalalisa bonke onkulunkulu belizwe.
Izizwe ezisemakhunjini wonke zizamkhonza,
ngulowo elizweni lakhe.
UKumelana LeKhushi
12 “Lani futhi, lina maKhushi
lizabulawa ngenkemba yami.”
Ukumelana Le-Asiriya
13 Uzakwelulela isandla sakhe enyakatho
achithe i-Asiriya,
atshiye iNiniva itshabalele ngokupheleleyo
njalo yome njengenkangala.
14 Imihlambi yezimvu leyenkomo izalala phansi khonapho,
lezidalwa zezinhlobo zonke.
Isikhova senkangala lomandukulo
kuzahlala ensikeni zakhe.
Ukukhala kwazo kuzezwakala emawindini,
imfucuza izakuba eminyango,
imijabo yemisedari ichayeke.
15 Leli lidolobho elingakhathaliyo
elalizihlalele livikelekile.
Lazitshela lathi:
“Ngiyimi, kakho omunye ngaphandle kwami.”
Yeka ukuchitheka eseliyikho,
isikhundla sezinyamazana zeganga!
Bonke abadlula kulo bahleka usulu
balikhombe ngeminwe.
