Isiprofetho ngeGibithe
1 Isiprofetho ngeGibithe.
Bheka, uJehova ukhwele phezu kwefu elinejubane,
uyeza eGibithe;
onkulunkulu baseGibithe bayathuthumela ebusweni bakhe,
nezinhliziyo zabaseGibithe ziphela amandla phakathi kwabo.
2“Ngiyakuvusa abaseGibithe
ukuba bamelane nabaseGibithe,
balwe, kube yilowo nalowo nomfowabo,
kube yilowo nalowo nomakhelwane wakhe,
umuzi nomuzi,
umbuso nombuso.
3Umoya waseGibithe uyakuba yize ngaphakathi kwalo;
ngiyakuchitha amasu alo;
bayakufuna onkulunkulu,
nezinyanga, nabanamadlozi, nabathakathi.
4Ngiyakubanikeza abaseGibithe
esandleni senkosi elukhuni,
nenkosi enamandla iyakubusa phezu kwabo,”
isho iNkosi uJehova Sebawoti.
5 Amanzi ayakuphela elwandle,
umfula wome, ushe.
6Imifula iyakunuka,
imifudlana yaseGibithe iyakuncipha, yome,
kubune umhlanga nebungu.
7Kuyakuba khona uqwathule ngaseNayile,
ngasogwini lweNayile,
nakho konke okutshaliwe ngaseNayile kuyakoma,
kuhlakazwe, kungabe kusababikho.
8Abadobi bayakukhala, balile,
bonke abaphonsa udobo eNayile;
nabeneka amanetha emanzini bayakudabuka.
9Bayakujabha abasebenza ngefilakisi* eliklayiweyo
kanye nabaluki belineni.
10Izisekelo zalo ziyakwaphulwa,
bonke abasebenza ngokuqashwa badabuke ngenhliziyo.
11Izikhulu zaseSowani ziyiziwula impela,
nesiluleko sabaluleki
abahlakaniphileyo bakaFaro siphendukile ubuwula;
ningasho kanjani kuFaro ukuthi:
“Mina ngiyindodana yabahlakaniphileyo,
ngiyindodana yamakhosi asendulo,” na?
12Pho, baphi abahlakaniphileyo bakho na?
Mabakutshele, bakwazise
lokhu akucebile uJehova Sebawoti ngeGibithe.
13Izikhulu zaseSowani ziphendukile iziwula,
izikhulu zaseNofi zikhohlisiwe;
balidukisile iGibithe
abangamatshe amagumbi ezizwe zalo.
14UJehova uthulule umoya ophambeneyo phakathi kwabo,
baze balintengantengise iGibithe kuyo yonke imisebenzi yalo
njengesidakwa sintengantenga ebuhlanzweni baso.
15 IGibithe aliyikuba namsebenzi
oyakwenziwa yikhanda nomsila,
negatsha lesundu nomhlanga.
16Ngalolo suku iGibithe liyakuba njengabesifazane, lithuthumele, lesabe ukunikina kwesandla sikaJehova Sebawoti asinikina phezu kwalo. 17Izwe lakwaJuda liyakuba yingebhe yeGibithe; njalo lapho likhunjuzwa ngalo, liyakwesaba icebo uJehova Sebawoti alicebe ngalo.
18 Ngalolo suku kuyakuba yimizi eyisihlanu ezweni laseGibithe eyakukhuluma ulimi lwaseKhanani, ifunge uJehova Sebawoti; omunye uyakuthiwa uMuzi Welanga.
19Ngalolo suku kuyakuba khona i-altare kuJehova phakathi kwezwe laseGibithe, nensika kuJehova emkhawulweni walo. 20Liyakuba yisibonakaliso nobufakazi kuJehova Sebawoti ezweni laseGibithe, ngokuba bayakukhala kuJehova ngabacindezeli; yena uyakubathumela umsindisi nomvikeli, abophule. 21 UJehova uyakuzazisa eGibithe, nabaseGibithe bayakumazi uJehova ngalolo suku, bamkhonze ngomhlatshelo nomnikelo, benze izithembiso kuJehova, bazigcwalise. 22UJehova uyakulishaya iGibithe, elishaya, abeseliphulukisa; bayakubuyela kuJehova, bamncenge, abaphulukise.
23Ngalolo suku kuyakuba khona umendo ophuma eGibithe uye e-Asiriya; i-Asiriya liyakungena eGibithe, iGibithe lingene e-Asiriya, iGibithe likhuleke kanye ne-Asiriya.
24Ngalolo suku u-Israyeli uyakuba ngowesithathu kanye neGibithe ne-Asiriya, babe yisibusiso phakathi komhlaba, 25uJehova Sebawoti ababusisa ngaso, ethi: “Malibusiswe iGibithe abantu bami, ne-Asiriya umsebenzi wezandla zami, no-Israyeli ifa lami.”
