Nahume 3 Izono zaseNineve

¹ Maye kuwo umuzi wegazi! konke kugcwele amanga nokuphanga; impango ayisuki;

² Umsindo wesiswebhu nomsindo wamasondo nowamahhashi agijimayo nowezinqola ezigxumayo.

³ Umgadi wehhashi uphakamisa inkemba ekhazimulayo kanye nomkhonto ocwebezelayo, futhi kukhona uquqaba lwababulewe nenani elikhulu lezidumbu; nezidumbu zabo azipheli; bakhubeka phezu kwezidumbu zabo;

⁴ ngenxa yobuningi bobufebe besifebe esihle, unkosikazi womthakathi, esithengisa izizwe ngobufebe baso nemindeni ngobuthakathi baso.

⁵ Bhekani, nginombano ngani, usho uJehova Sebawoti; ngiyakwembula ubucwebe bakho ebusweni bakho, ngibonise amahloni akho ezizweni nasemibusweni ihlazo lakho.

⁶ Ngiyakuphonsa phezu kwakho okunengekayo, ngikwenze inhlekisa, ngikubeke njengehlombe.

⁷ Futhi kuyokwenzeka ukuthi bonke abakubonayo bayokubalekela futhi bathi: INineve libhuqiwe; ngubani ozomkhalela? ngiyakubabhekaphi abaduduzi bakho na?

⁸ Wena ungcono yini kunabantu baseNo, ababemi phakathi kwemifula, amanzi abo nxazonke, osebe lwabo lululwandle, nogange lwabo lwaluvela olwandle, na?

⁹ ITopiya neGibithe babengamandla alo, ayengenakuphela; uPhuthi namaLubi aba ngabasizi bakho.

¹⁰ Kepha wathunjwa, waya ekudingisweni; nabantwana balo bachotshozwa eziqongweni zazo zonke izitaladi; benza inkatho ngabahlonishwayo, nabo bonke abakhulu balo baboshwa ngamaketanga.

¹¹ Nawe uyakudakwa; uyakufihlwa, futhi uyofuna amandla ngenxa yesitha.

¹² Zonke izinqaba zakho ziyakuba njengemikhiwane enamakhiwane avuthwayo; uma zinyakaziswa, ziwela ngisho emlonyeni wodlayo.

¹³ Bheka, abantu bakho phakathi kwakho bangabesifazane; amasango ezwe lakho ayovulelwa kakhulu izitha zakho; umlilo uyodla izingidi zakho.

¹⁴ Dala amanzi okuvinjezelwa, uqinise izinqaba zakho; ngena odakeni unyathele udaka, uqinise ihhonela lezitini.

¹⁵ Lapho umlilo uyakukuqeda; inkemba iyakukunquma, ikudle njengenkumbi; ukwenze ufane kakhulu nenkasa, ukwenze ufane kakhulu nesikhonyane.

¹⁶ Wandisile abathengisi bakho ngaphezu kwezinkanyezi zezulu;

¹⁷ Umqhele wakho unjengesikhonyane, nezikhulu zakho zinjengesikhonyane esikhulu esimisa ezintangeni ngosuku lwamakhaza, kepha ekuphumeni kwelanga ziyabaleka, nendawo yaso ingaziwa ukuthi ziphi.

¹⁸ Abelusi bakho bayozela, nkosi yase-Asiriya; izikhulu zakho ziyakuhlala othulini; abantu bakho bahlakazekile ezintabeni, akakho obabuthayo.

¹⁹ Akukho ukuphulukiswa emivimbo yakho; isilonda sakho sinzima; bonke abezwa izithelo zakho bayakushaya izandla phezu kwakho; ngoba ngubani ububi bakho obungafikelanga njalo?
