UZefaniya 2 Funani uJehova bonke abathobekileyo bomhlaba

¹ Hlanganani, yebo, buthanani, O sizwe esingafunwa;

² lungakafiki umyalo, usuku lungakadluli njengamakhoba, lungakafiki phezu kwenu ulaka lukaJehova, lungakafiki phezu kwenu usuku lolaka lukaJehova.

³ Funani iNkosi, nonke bathobekileyo bomhlaba, ekwenzile ukwahlulela kwayo; funani ukulunga, funani ukuthobeka; mhlawumbe niyakusitshekelwa ngosuku lwentukuthelo kaJehova.

⁴ Ngokuba iGaza liyakushiywa, ne-Ashikeloni libe yihlane; bayakuxosha i-Ashidodi emini, ne-Ekroni lisishulwe.

⁵ Maye kwabakhileyo ngasogwini lolwandle, isizwe samaKrethe! izwi likaJehova limelene nani; IKhanani, izwe lamaFilisti, futhi ngizokubhubhisa, ukuze kungabikho ohlala khona.

⁶ Ugu lolwandle luyoba yizindlu namadokodo abelusi nezibaya zezimvu.

⁷ Umkhawulo uyakuba ngowensali yendlu yakwaJuda; bayoklaba kuyo; ezindlini zase-Ashikeloni kusihlwa bayakulala; ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wabo uyakubahambela, abuyise ukuthunjwa kwabo.

⁸ Ngikuzwile ukuthukwa kukaMowabi nokuhlambalaza kwabantwana bakwa-Amoni, abahlambalaze ngakho abantu bami, baziphakamisa phezu kwemikhawulo yabo.

⁹ Ngalokho kuphila kwami, usho uJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, isibili, uMowabi uyakuba njengeSodoma, nabantwana bakwa-Amoni njengeGomora, okuzala amakhakhasi neziphethu zikasawoti, kube yincithakalo ephakade, insali yabantu bami. Bayoziphanga, futhi insali yabantu bami iyoba ifa.

¹⁰ Lokhu kuyakuba njengokuzigqaja kwabo, ngokuba baye bazihlambalaza, baziphakamisa kubantu bakaJehova Sebawoti.

¹¹ UJehova uyakwesabeka kubo, ngokuba uyakwenza ukuba bonke onkulunkulu bomhlaba balambe; futhi abantu bayokhuleka kuyo, kube yilowo nalowo endaweni yakhe, zonke iziqhingi zezizwe.

¹² Nani maKushe, niyobulawa ngenkemba yami.

¹³ Uyakwelulela isandla sakhe ngasenyakatho, abhubhise i-Asiriya; futhi uyokwenza iNineve libe ihlane nelome njengehlane.

¹⁴ Futhi imihlambi iyolala phakathi kwawo, zonke izilwane zezizwe; inkalakatha kanye nomunyu kuyolala emaphethelweni ayo angaphezulu; izwi labo liyohuba emafasiteleni; ukubhujiswa kuyakuba semibundwini, ngokuba uyakudalula umsebenzi wemisedari.

¹⁵ Lona ngumuzi othokozayo owawuzihlalele, owawuthi enhliziyweni yawo: Yimi yimi, akakho omunye ngaphandle kwami; seliphenduke incithakalo, indawo yokulala izilwane; wonke umuntu odlula ngakuyo uyakushaya ikhwelo, azulise isandla sakhe.
