Jeremiya 49 INkosi ikhuluma ngabakwa-Amoni

¹ Ngabantwana bakwa-Amoni, usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “U-Israyeli akanamadodana na? akanayo indlalifa? Pho kungani inkosi yabo ithatha uGadi futhi ihlalise abantu bayo emizini yakhe?

² Ngalokho bheka, izinsuku ziyeza, usho uJehova, engiyakuhlaba umkhosi wempi eRaba labantwana bakwa-Amoni; liyakuba yinqumbi eyincithakalo, namadodakazi alo ashiswe ngomlilo; u-Israyeli uyakuba yindlalifa yendlalifa yakhe,” usho uJehova.

³ Khala, Heshiboni, ngokuba i-Ayi ichithiwe; khalani, madodakazi aseRaba, bhinceni izingubo zokulila; dabukani, nigijimele ezintangweni; ngoba inkosi yabo iyoya ekudingisweni, nabapristi bayo nezikhulu zayo kanyekanye.

⁴ Uziqhayiselani ngezigodi, esigodini sakho esigobhozayo, ndodakazi ehlubukayo? owethemba ingcebo yakhe wathi: Ngubani ozakuza kimi?

⁵ Bheka, ngiyakwehlisela ukwesaba phezu kwakho, isho iNkosi uJehova Sebawoti, phezu kwabo bonke abakuhaqayo; futhi yilowo nalowo kini uyakuxoshwa masinyane; futhi akekho oyobutha odukayo.

⁶ Ngasemuva ngiyakubuyisa ukuthunjwa kwabantwana bakwa-Amoni,” usho uJehova.

⁷ Ngo-Edomi, usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: “Akusekho ukuhlakanipha eThemani na? icebo labahlakaniphileyo libhubhile na? ukuhlakanipha kwabo sekuphelile?

⁸ Balekani, niphenduke, nihlale ekujuleni, nina bakhileyo eDedani. Ngokuba ngiyakwehlisela phezu kwakhe inhlekelele ka-Esawu ngesikhathi sokumhambela kwami.

⁹ Uma abavuna izithelo zomvini befika kuwe, abayikushiya izithelo zomvini na? njengamasela ebusuku, bayochitha baze basuthe.

¹⁰ Kepha mina ngimambulile u-Esawu, ngambule izindawo zakhe zokucasha, akanakucasha; inzalo yakhe yaphangwa, nabafowabo nomakhelwane bakhe, futhi akasekho.

¹¹ Shiya izintandane zakho, mina ngiyakuziphilisa; nabafelokazi benu mabathembele Kimi.

¹² Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Bheka, labo okwakungesikho ukuphuza endebeni bayakuphuza impela; futhi nguwe oyohamba ungajeziswa nhlobo? ngeke uyeke ukujeziswa, kodwa kumelwe nakanjani uphuze kuso.

¹³ Ngokuba ngizifungile mina, usho uJehova, ukuthi iBhozira liyakuba yincithakalo, nehlazo, nencithakalo, nesiqalekiso; yonke imizi yakhe iyakuba yincithakalo kuze kube phakade.

¹⁴ Ngase ngizwa umbiko ovela kuJehova, kwathunywa isithunywa ezizweni ukuthi: Buthanani, nimelene nalo, nisukume ukulwa.

¹⁵ Ngokuba bheka, ngiyakukwenza ube mncane phakathi kwezizwe nodelelekile phakathi kwabantu.

¹⁶ Ukwesabeka kwakho kukhohlisile, nokuzidla kwenhliziyo yakho, wena ohlala emifantwini yedwala, obambe indawo ephakemeyo yentaba; noma wakha isidleke sakho njengokhozi, ngiyakukwehlisa khona, usho uJehova.

¹⁷ U-Edomi uyakuba yihlane; wonke umuntu odlulayo uyomangala futhi aklolodelwe ngazo zonke izinhlupho zakhe.

¹⁸ Njengokuchithwa kweSodoma neGomora nemizi yangakubo, usho uJehova, akuyikuhlala muntu khona, kungahlali muntu khona.

¹⁹ Bheka, uyakwenyuka njengengonyama emfuleni iJordani, akhuphukele endaweni eyinqaba; kepha ngiyakumbalekela ngokuzuma; ngubani okhethiweyo, engingambeka phezu kwakhe na? ngoba ngubani onjengami? ngubani ongangibekela isikhathi na? ngubani umalusi ongema phambi kwami na?

²⁰ Ngakho yizwani icebo likaJehova alicebile ngo-Edomi; namacebo akhe awanqumile kwabakhileyo eThemani: Impela bayakukhipha omncane emhlambini; impela uyakwenza izindawo zabo zokuhlala zibe yihlane kanye nabo.

²¹ Umhlaba uyathuthumela ngomsindo wokuwa kwabo, umsindo wokumemeza kwabo wezwakala oLwandle Olubomvu.

²² Bheka, uyokhuphuka andize njengokhozi, elulele amaphiko akhe phezu kweBhozira, futhi ngalolo suku inhliziyo yamaqhawe akwa-Edomi iyoba njengenhliziyo yowesifazane ezindleleni zakhe.

²³ Mayelana neDamaseku. IHamati ijabhile ne-Aripadi, ngokuba kuzwile izindaba ezimbi; badangele; kukhona ukudabuka olwandle; akukwazi ukuthula.

²⁴ IDamaseku yaba buthakathaka yaphenduka ukuba ibaleke; usizi nosizi lwambamba njengobelethayo.

²⁵ Yeka ukuthi umuzi wodumo awuzange uhlale kanjani, umuzi wenjabulo yami!

²⁶ Ngalokho izinsizwa zakhe ziyakuwa ezitaladini zakhe, nawo onke amaqhawe anqunywe ngalolo suku,” usho uJehova Sebawoti.

²⁷ Ngiyakuphemba umlilo odongeni lwaseDamaseku, uqede izindlu zobukhosi zikaBeni Hadadi.

²⁸ Mayelana neKedari nangemibuso yaseHasori uNebukadinesari inkosi yaseBabele ayakuyinqoba, usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Suka ukhuphukele eKedari, uphange abantu basempumalanga.

²⁹ Bayakuthatha amatende abo nemihlambi yabo; kumelwe bazithathele izindwangu zabo zamatende nazo zonke izitsha zabo namakamela abo; futhi bayobiza kubo: Ukwesaba kusizungezile!

³⁰ Balekani, nihambe niye kude, nihlale ekujuleni, nina enakhileyo eHasori,” usho uJehova; ngoba uNebukadinesari inkosi yaseBhabhiloni wenze icebo ngani futhi ucebe icebo ngani.

³¹ Sukumani, nikhuphukele esizweni esicebile, esihlezi ngokulondeka, usho uJehova, esingenamasango nemigoqo, esihlezi sodwa.

³² Amakamela abo ayakuba yimpango, nemfuyo yabo eminingi ibe yimpango; futhi labo abasezindaweni ezikude ngiyobahlakazela kuyo yonke imimoya; futhi ngiyoletha ukubhujiswa kwabo kuzo zonke izinhlangothi zalo,” kusho uJehova.

³³ IHasori liyakuba yindawo yokuhlala kwezimpungushe nehlane kuze kube phakade; akuyikuhlala muntu khona, nendodana yomuntu ayiyikuhlala khona.

³⁴ Izwi likaJehova elafika kuJeremiya umprofethi nge-Elamu ekuqaleni kokubusa kukaSedekiya inkosi yakwaJuda, lithi:

³⁵ Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: “Bheka, ngiyakwaphula umnsalo wakwa-Elamu, inhloko yamandla abo.

³⁶ Ngiyakwehlisela phezu kwe-Elamu imimoya emine evela emagumbini omane ezulu, ngibahlakazele kuyo yonke leyo mimoya; futhi ngeke kube khona isizwe abadingiswa base-Elamu abangayi kufika kuso.

³⁷ Ngiyolesabisa i-Elamu phambi kwezitha zalo naphambi kwalabo abafuna ukuphila kwabo; ngiyakubehlisela okubi, intukuthelo yami evuthayo,” usho uJehova; ngiyakuthuma inkemba emva kwabo, ngize ngibaqede.

³⁸ Ngiyakubeka isihlalo sami sobukhosi e-Elamu, ngichithe khona inkosi nezikhulu,” usho uJehova.

³⁹ Kodwa ekupheleni kwezinsuku ngizabuyisela isabelo se-Elamu,” kutsho uJehova.
