UJOROMIYA 4 - IsiNdebele 2012 Translation

¹ USomnini waphendula wathi: “Nange kunendlela oyithathako, wena Israyeli, akube ngebuyela kimi. Nanisusa iinyenyiso zenu emehlwenami, ningabe nisehla nenyuka,

² khona-ke nizakufunga ngeqiniso, ngobuqotho nangokulunga nanithi, ‘Sifunga uSomnini ophilako.’ Nje-ke iinkoro zakwa-Israyeli zizakufuna iimbusiso nedumo lazo kimi mina Somnini.

³ “Mbala, nakhu okutjhiwo nguSomnini kibo boke abantu bakwaJuda nebeJerusalema: “Zikghemeleni ihlabathi engakalinywa, ningatjali hlangana nameva.

⁴ Zisokeni kube kuSomnini, nisuse amajwabu weenhliziyo zenu nina bantu bakwaJuda nebeJerusalema! Nakungasinjalo itukuthelwami izakuqubuka ngebanga lobumbi enibenzileko bese itjhise njengomlilo kungabi nomcimi.”

Ihlekelele yangetlhagwini iyeza

⁵ Bikani kwaJuda, nimemezele eJerusalema nithi: “Vuthelani ipalapala enarheni! Rhuwelelani nithi, ‘Yenibuthane ndawonye! Asibalekeleni emadorobheni anemithangala!’

⁶ Phakamiselani iphawu eZiyoni! Phephiselani ipahlenu eJerusalema, ningariyadi! Qalani, uSomnini sele azokuletha ihlekelele evela ngetlhagwini, ngitjho nokurhayilwa okukhulu.”

⁷ Ibhubezi liphumile ngedzabeni lalo, umbhubhisi wezizwe ufudukile. Utjhiye indawakhe kobana enze inarhakho ibe libhudu, wena Juda. Amadorobhakho azakuba marubhi atlhoge abahlali.

⁸ Yeke, yembathani iinzilo, nilile nirhahlawule nithi: Maye, ilaka elivuthako lakaSomnini alikasuki phezu kwethu.

⁹ USomnini uZimu wathi: “Mhlokho, ikosi kanye neenkhulu izakuphela amandla, abaphristi bakhene, abaphorofidi bakakamale.”

¹⁰ Yeke mina ngathi: “Maye Somnini Somandla, ukhohlise kokukhohlisa isizwesi kanye neJerusalema ngokuthi bazakuba nokuthula khisibe isabula isihlezi emphinjeni.”

¹¹ Ngesikhatheso isizwesi kanye neJerusalema bazakutjelwa kuthiwe: “Ummoya otjhwabisako ovela emibundwini eligagadu erhalawumbeni uphembethela ngebantwini bami, kodwana awuzukuphephetha namkha uthanyele.

¹² Kumumoya onamandla khulu kunalokho! Ngesikhathesi ubuya kimi. Mina ngokwami ngizakukhupha iingwebo phezu kwabo.”

¹³ Qalani, uza njengamafu! Ikaranakhe iza njengesiwuruwuru, iinjomani zakhe zigijima khulu kunamadlanga. Maye thina! Siphelile!

¹⁴ Wena Jerusalema, hlamba ubumbi obusehliziywenakho bese uyasinda. Kuzabe kube nini imizindlo emimbi ihlezi kuwe na?

¹⁵ Ilizwi libika ukusuka kwaDani, limemezela ihlekelele eentabeni zakwa-Efrayimu lithi:

¹⁶ “Yazisani iinkoro zakwa-Israyeli, nimemezele eJerusalema nithi: ‘Qalani, napo abavimbezeli beza, basuka enarheni ekhatjhana, baqubula ingoma yepi phezu kwamadorobho wakwaJuda.

¹⁷ Bazombeleza iJerusalema njengomuntu olinde isimu ngombana lingihlubukile mina Somnini.’ ” Kutjho uSomnini.

¹⁸ Ukuziphatha kwakho kanye nezenzo zakho, wena Juda, kulethe lokhu phezu kwakho. Lokhu kumphumela wobukhohlakali bakho. Yizwa bona kumunyu kangangani nabuhlaba ehliziyweni!

¹⁹ Maye iinsizi zami, iinsizi zami! Ngisebuhlungwini! Maye, ukubethela eduze kwehliziywami! Iye, ihliziywami iyathukuza angikwazi ukuthula. Ngizwile ukulila kwepalapala, ngezwa nengoma yepi.

²⁰ Ukubhujiswa phezu kokubhujiswa kuyamenyezelwa; mbala, inarha yoke itlhifiriziwe. Amatendami atjhabalaliswe msinyana, iye, ubusithelo bami ngokuphazima kwelihlo.

²¹ Kuzabe kube nini ngibona iphawu ngizwe netjhada lepalapala na?

²² USomnini uthi: “Lokhu kwenzeka ngombana abantu bami ziindlhadlha, abangazi. Babantwana abanganangqondo begodu abanalemuko. Banekghono lokwenza ubumbi, kodwana abakwazi ukwenza okulungileko.”

²³ Ngabona inarha, qala, beyinganabubono, inganabuphilo ngabona umkayi, qala, bewunganakukhanya.

²⁴ Ngabona iintaba, qala, bezihlengezela, yoke imibundu gade iyethezela.

²⁵ Ngaqala, yelela bekunganamuntu neenyoni zoke zibalekile.

²⁶ Godu ngaqala, yelela, inarha ebeyinothile sele ilirhalawumba; woke amadorobhayo gade amarubhi ngebanga lakaSomnini, iye, ngebanga letukuthelwakhe evuthako.

²⁷ Ngambala nakhu okutjhiwo nguSomnini: “Yoke inarha izokuba libhudu, nokho angeze ngalisa ukuyibhubhisa.

²⁸ Ngalokho iphasi liyalila namazulu phezulu ayafiphala. Ngebanga lokobana ngikhulumile, ngincamile, ngizakwenza lokho. Angeze ngazisola, asoze ngabuyela emuva.”

²⁹ Ngetjhada labakhweli beenkarana zepi nabosomsebe boke abantu ngedorobheni bayabaleka. Babalekela eentjhutheni, banyukela ngemipharwini yamadwala. Woke amadorobho atjhiyiwe, akakho ohlala kiwo.

³⁰ Uzokwenzani, wena ophelisiweko na? Nanyana uzembese ngezitlerebede wafaka nobuphaziphazi begolide, iye, nanyana uzitjhatjhe ngeemonyongo zamehlo uzazikghabisela ilize. Labo abakukhanukako bayakudelela, bafunana nepilwakho.

³¹ Mbala, ngezwa isililo inga ngesomfazi onemirhelo, silisizi njengaloyo obeletha izibulo; iye, isililo sendodakazi yeZiyoni elwela ukuphefumula, yelula izandla isithi: “Maye mina, ngiyatsirimezeka, ipilwami inikelwe esandleni sababulali.”
