Isiprofetho ngoMowabi
1 NgoMowabi.
Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi:
“Wo kulo iNebo,
ngokuba lichithekile,
iKiriyatayimi lijabhile, linqotshiwe;
iMisigabi lijabhile, liphelile amandla.
2Udumo lukaMowabi alusekho;
eHeshiboni bacebe okubi ngaye ngokuthi:
Wozani simnqume, angabe esaba yisizwe.
Nawe Madimeni uyakuthuliswa,
inkemba ikulandele.
3Izwi lokukhala livela eHoranayimi,
ukuchithwa nokuqothulwa okukhulu.
4UMowabi uchithekile;
abancane bakhe bezwakalisa ukukhala.
5 Ngokuba bakhuphuka egqumeni laseLuthite,
bekhala njalo,
nasekwehleni ukuya eHoronayimi
bezwile usizi lokukhala kwencithakalo.
6 Balekani, nisindise ukuphila kwenu,
nibe njengesihlahla esiyize ehlane.
7 Ngokuba ngenxa yokwethemba
kwakho imisebenzi yakho
nengcebo yakho nawe uyakubanjwa,
uKemoshi aye ekuthunjweni,
abapristi bakhe nezikhulu zakhe kanyekanye.
8Umchithi uyakufikela yonke imizi,
akuyikuphunyuka muzi;
isigodi siyakuchithwa,
ithafa liqothulwe,
njengalokho uJehova eshilo.
9Nikani uMowabi amaphiko,
ngokuba uyakundiza, aphume;
imizi yakhe iyakuba yincithakalo,
kungabikho osahlala kuyo.
10“Makaqalekiswe owenza umsebenzi
kaJehova ngokunganakekeli,
aqalekiswe naye ogodla inkemba yakhe egazini.
11 “UMowabi ugciniwe kwasebusheni bakhe,
uphumulile enhleseni yakhe,
kathululwanga ezitsheni ngezitsha,
akayanga ekuthunjweni;
ngalokho ukuzwakala kwakhe kuhlala kuye,
nephunga lakhe aliguquki.
12Ngalokho bheka, izinsuku ziyeza,” usho uJehova,
“engiyakuthuma ngazo kuye abathambekayo
abayakumthambeka,
bazithulule izitsha zakhe,
baziphohloze izimvaba zakhe.
13 UMowabi uyakujabha ngoKemoshi,
njengalokhu indlu ka-Israyeli yajabha ngeBethele,
ithemba labo.
14“Ningasho kanjani ukuthi:
‘Singamaqhawe
namadoda anamandla okulwa’ na?
15Umchithi kaMowabi nemizi yakhe bakhuphukile,
izinsizwa zakhe ezikhethekileyo zehlele ukuyobulawa,”
isho iNkosi egama layo linguJehova Sebawoti.
16“Ingozi kaMowabi iseduze ukufika,
usizi lwakhe lushesha kakhulu.
17Nina nonke enimzungezayo manimkhalele;
nani nonke enilaziyo igama lakhe anothi:
‘Yeka ukwaphuka kwenduku enamandla,
udondolo oluhle!’
18“Yehla ebukhosini bakho,
uhlale womile,
ndodakazi, ohlala eDiboni,
ngokuba umchithi kaMowabi ukhuphukela kuwe,
achithe izinqaba zakho.
19Yima endleleni,
uqaphele wena ohlezi e-Aroweri,
ubuze obalekayo nowesifazane ophunyukayo ukuthi:
‘Kwenze njani na?’
20UMowabi ujabhile, uphelile amandla;
hhewulani, nikhale,
nikwazise e-Arinoni
ukuthi uMowabi uchithiwe.
21Ukwahlulela kwehlele izwe lethafa:
iHoloni, neJahasi, neMefahati,
22neDiboni, neNebo,
neBeti Dibilatayimi,
23neKiriyatayimi, neBeti Gamuli,
neBeti Mehoni,
24neKeriyote, neBosira,
nemizi yonke yezwe lakwaMowabi
ekude noma eseduze.
25 Uphondo lukaMowabi lunqunyiwe,
ingalo yakhe yaphukile,” usho uJehova.
26 “Mdakiseni, ngokuba uzikhukhumezile kuJehova;
uMowabi makahuquzele ebuhlanzweni bakhe, abe ngohlekwayo naye.
27U-Israyeli wayengahlekwa nguwe na?
Wafunyanwa phakathi kwamasela,
njengokuba, lapho ukhuluma ngaye,
unikina ikhanda, na?
28Shiyani imizi,
nihlale esiweni nina enakhileyo kwaMowabi,
nibe njengejuba elakha emaceleni omlomo wesiwa.
29 Sizwile ngokuzidla kukaMowabi okukhulu kakhulu,
ukuziphakamisa kwakhe,
nokuzidla kwakhe,
nokuziqhenya kwakhe,
nokuzikhukhumeza kwenhliziyo yakhe.
30Ngiyazi intukuthelo yakhe,” usho uJehova;
“amacebo akhe ayinkohliso,
nalokhu akwenzayo kuyinkohliso.
31Ngalokho ngiyakuhhewula ngoMowabi,
ngikhale ngaye wonke uMowabi,
balilisele amadoda aseKhiri Heresi.
32Ngiyakukhalela wena mvini waseSibima kunokukhala kukaJazeri;
amagatsha akho adlulile ulwandle,
afinyelela elwandle lwakwaJazeri;
umchithi uthelekele phezu kwezithelo zenu namavini enu.
33Ukuthokoza nokujabula kususiwe
ensimini nasezweni lakwaMowabi;
ngenze ukuba kuphele iwayini ezikhamweni;
akusayikunyathelwa ngokujabula,
ukumemeza akuseyikho ukumemeza.
34 “Kusukela eHeshiboni elikhalayo
liyezwakalisa ukukhala kwalo
kuze kube se-Elehale naseJahasi,
kusukela eSowari kuze kube seHoronayimi
nase-Egilati Shelishiya,
ngokuba namanzi aseNimrimi ayakuba yincithakalo.
35Ngiyakwenza ukuba kuphele kwaMowabi,” usho uJehova,
“yena onikela ezindaweni eziphakemeyo
noshisela onkulunkulu bakhe impepho.
36“Ngalokho inhliziyo yami
ikhalela uMowabi njengemitshingo,
futhi inhliziyo yami
ikhalela amadoda aseKhiri Heresi njengemitshingo,
ngokuba okuseleyo abakuzuzileyo kuyachitheka.
37 Ngokuba onke amakhanda ayizimpandla,
nazo zonke izilevu zigundiwe;
zonke izandla zisikiwe,
nasezinkalweni zonke kukhona indwangu yamasaka.
38 Phezu kwazo zonke izindlu zakwaMowabi
nasezitaladini zakhe kukhona isililo kuphela,
ngokuba ngimaphulile uMowabi
njengesitsha okungathokozi muntu ngaso,” usho uJehova.
39“Yeka ukuphela kwakhe amandla.
Hhewulani!
Yeka ukufulathela kukaMowabi ngamahloni,
uMowabi abe ngohlekwayo noqeda amandla
kubo bonke abamzungezayo.”
40 Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova, uthi:
“Bheka, uyandiza njengokhozi,
elulele amaphiko akhe kuMowabi.
41Imizi inqotshiwe,
nezinqaba zithathiwe;
izinhliziyo zamaqhawe akwaMowabi
ziyakuba njengenhliziyo yowesifazane onemihelo.
42UMowabi uyakuchithwa,
angabe esaba yisizwe,
ngokuba uzikhukhumezile kuJehova.
43 Ukwesaba, nomgodi, nogibe
kuphezu kwabakhileyo kwaMowabi,” usho uJehova.
44 “Obalekela ukwesaba uyakuwela emgodini,
okhuphuka emgodini uyakubanjwa ogibeni,
ngokuba ngiyakwehlisela phezu kwabo,
phezu kukaMowabi,
umnyaka wokujeziswa kwabo,” usho uJehova.
45 “Emthunzini waseHeshiboni
ababalekileyo bayema bephelile amandla,
ngokuba umlilo uphumile eHeshiboni,
nelangabi phakathi kweSihoni;
udlile amacele akwaMowabi,
nokhakhayi lwamadoda omsindo okulwa.
46Maye kuwena Mowabi!
Abantu bakaKemoshi baphelile,
ngokuba amadodana akho athunjiwe,
namadodakazi akho ayiswe ekuthunjweni.
47 Kepha ngiyakubuyisa ukuthunjwa kukaMowabi
ngezinsuku ezizayo,” usho uJehova.
Kuphela lapha ukwahlulelwa kukaMowabi.
