Jeremiya 48 UJehova ukhuluma ngoMowabi

¹ NgoMowabi usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: “Maye kulo iNebo! ngoba lonakele; IKiriyatayimi laba namahloni, lathathwa; UMisgabi unamahloni futhi uthukile.

² Akusayikuba khona ukudunyiswa kwaMowabi; eHeshiboni bacebe okubi ngaye; wozani silinqume esizweni. Futhi uyakunqunywa, Madmen; inkemba iyakukusukela.

³ Izwi lokumemeza livela eHoronayimi, ukubhujiswa nokubhujiswa okukhulu.

⁴ UMowabi uyachithwa; abancane bakhe bakhala.

⁵ Ngokuba emmangweni waseLuhiti kuyakuba khona ukukhala njalo; ngoba ekwehleni kweHoronayimi izitha zezwa ukukhala kwencithakalo.

⁶ Balekani, nisindise ukuphila kwenu, nibe njengesihlava ehlane.

⁷ Ngokuba ngenxa yokuthi nathembela emisebenzini yenu nasengcebweni yenu, nani niyoboshwa; futhi uKemoshi uyophuma aye ekudingisweni kanye nabapristi bakhe nezikhulu zakhe.

⁸ Umchithi uyakufikela yonke imizi, akuyikuphunyuka muzi; isigodi siyakubhubha, ithafa libe yihlane, njengalokho uJehova ekhulumile.

⁹ Nika uMowabi amaphiko ukuba abalekele, aphunyuke; ngoba imizi yakhe izakuba yinkangala, kungahlali muntu kuyo.

¹⁰ Uqalekisiwe owenza umsebenzi kaJehova ngenkohliso, futhi uqalekisiwe ogodla inkemba yakhe egazini.

¹¹ UMowabi waphumula kwasebusheni bakhe, wahlala esihlalweni sakhe, akathululwanga kwesinye isitsha ngesitsha, akayanga ekudingisweni; ngalokho ukunambitha kwakhe kwahlala kuye, nephunga lakhe aliguqukanga.

¹² Ngakho bhekani, izinsuku ziyeza, usho uJehova, lapho ngiyakuthuma abazulazulayo kuye abayakubazulazula, bathulule izitsha zabo, baphule amasaka abo.

¹³ UMowabi uyakuba namahloni ngoKemoshi, njengalokho indlu yakwa-Israyeli yaba namahloni ngeBethele ekuthembeleni kwayo.

¹⁴ Nisho kanjani ukuthi: “Singamadoda anamandla nanamandla empi na?

¹⁵ UMowabi uphangiwe, wakhushulwa emizini yakhe, nezinsizwa zakhe ezikhethiweyo ziyile ekubulaweni, isho iNkosi egama layo linguJehova Sebawoti.

¹⁶ Inhlekelele kaMowabi iseduze ukuza, futhi usizi lwakhe luyashesha.

¹⁷ Nonke nina enimzungezile nilile ngaye; futhi bonke abalaziyo igama lakhe bathi: Yeka ukwaphulwa kodondolo oluqinile noswazi oluhle!

¹⁸ Indodakazi yakho ehlala eDiboni yehla enkazimulweni yakho, ihlezi ngokoma; ngokuba umchithi wakwaMowabi uyakunifikela, achithe izinqaba zenu.

¹⁹ Mani endleleni, nina enakhileyo e-Aroweri, nibuke; buza obalekayo nophunyukileyo, uthi: ‘Kwenzenjani?

²⁰ UMowabi unamahloni; ngoba libhidliziwe: lilani lilile; Kutsheleni e-Arinoni ukuthi uMowabi uphangiwe,

²¹ Futhi ukwahlulelwa kwehlela emaphandleni; phezu kweHoloni, naseJahasa naseMefaat,

²² naseDiboni, naseNebo, naseBeti-Dibilatayimi;

²³ naseKiriyatayimi, naseBeti-Gamule, naseBetimeyoni;

²⁴ naseKeriyoti, naseBosira, naphezu kwayo yonke imizi yezwe lakwaMowabi, ekude noma eseduze.

²⁵ Uphondo lukaMowabi lunqunyiwe, nengalo yakhe yaphukile,” usho uJehova.

²⁶ Mdakiseni, ngokuba uzikhukhumezile kuJehova; UMowabi naye uyakuhuquza ebuhlanzweni bakhe, naye abe usulu.

²⁷ Ngokuba u-Israyeli wayengesiyo inhlekisa kuwe na? wafunyanwa phakathi kwamasela na? ngoba selokhu ukhulumile ngaye, ugxume ngokuthokoza.

²⁸ Nina enakhileyo kwaMowabi, shiyani imizi, nihlale edwaleni, nibe njengejuba elakha isidleke salo emaceleni omlomo womgodi.

²⁹ Sikuzwile ukuzidla kukaMowabi, uzidla, ukuzidla kwakhe, nokuzidla kwakhe, nokuzidla kwakhe, nokuzidla kwenhliziyo yakhe.

³⁰ Ngiyayazi intukuthelo yakhe,” usho uJehova; kodwa akuyikuba njalo; amanga akhe ngeke asebenze kanjalo.

³¹ Ngalokho ngiyakukhalela uMowabi, ngikhale ngoMowabi wonke; inhliziyo yami izolilela amadoda aseKirheresi.

³² Wena mvini waseSibima, ngiyakukhalela ngokukhala kukaJaseri; izitshalo zakho zawela ulwandle, zafinyelela olwandle lwaseJaseri; umchithi uwile ezithelweni zakho zasehlobo nasekuvunweni kwakho kwemivini.

³³ Ukuthokoza nokuthokoza kwasuswa ensimini enkulu nasezweni lakwaMowabi; ngenza ukuba iwayini liphele ezikhamweni zewayini; akekho oyonyathela ngentokozo; ukumemeza kwabo akuyikuba ngukuthokoza.

³⁴ Kusukela ekumemezeni kusukela eHeshiboni kuze kube se-Elale naseJahazi, baphakamisa izwi labo, kusukela eSowari kuze kube seHoronayimi, njengethokazi elineminyaka emithathu; ngokuba amanzi aseNimrimi ayakuba yihlane.

³⁵ Futhi ngiyakwenza ukuba kuphele kwaMowabi,” usho uJehova, “ohlabela ezindaweni eziphakemeyo noshunqisa umusi aye konkulunkulu bakhe.

³⁶ Ngakho inhliziyo yami izakhala phezu kukaMowabi njengemitshingo, lenhliziyo yami ikhale njengemitshingo ebantwini beKhiriheresi, ngoba inotho ayizuzileyo ibhubhile.

³⁷ Ngokuba onke amakhanda ayakuba yimpandla, nazo zonke izilevu zigundiwe; kuzo zonke izandla kube khona ukusikwa, nendwangu yesaka ezinkalweni zonke.

³⁸ Phezu kwezindlu zonke zakwaMowabi nasezitaladini zakhe kuyakuba khona isililo, ngokuba ngimaphulile uMowabi njengento engemnandi,” usho uJehova.

³⁹ Bayakukhala bathi: “Yeka ukudilizwa! uphendukile kanjani uMowabi enamahloni! kanjalo uMowabi uyakuba yinhlekiso nokwesaba nxazonke zakhe.

⁴⁰ Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Bheka, uyandiza njengokhozi, elulele amaphiko akhe phezu kukaMowabi.

⁴¹ IKeriyoti ithunjiwe, nezinqaba ziyathuthumela, nezinhliziyo zamaqhawe akwaMowabi ngalolo suku ziyakuba njengenhliziyo yowesifazane ezindleleni zakhe.

⁴² UMowabi uyakuchithwa angabi yisizwe, ngokuba uzikhukhumezile kuJehova.

⁴³ Ukwesaba nomgodi nogibe kuphezu kwakho wena owakhileyo kwaMowabi,” usho uJehova.

⁴⁴ Obalekela ukwesaba uyawela emgodini; futhi lowo ophuma emgodini uyobanjwa ogibeni; ngoba ngiyoletha phezu kwalo unyaka wokuhanjelwa kwabo phezu kukaMowabi,” kusho uJehova.

⁴⁵ Ababalekayo bema emthunzini weHeshiboni ngenxa yamandla, kepha umlilo uyakuphuma eHeshiboni, nelangabi phakathi kukaSihoni, lidle ikona likaMowabi nekhanda labahlukumezi.

⁴⁶ Maye kuwe Mowabi! abantu baseKamoshi bayabhubha, ngokuba amadodana akho athunjiwe, namadodakazi akho njengabathunjwa.

⁴⁷ Kodwa ngizobuyisela inkatho yakwaMowabi ekupheleni kwezinsuku,” kusho uJehova. Kuze kube manje ukwahlulelwa kukaMowabi.
