Bible Reading Plan – Day 180

“Konke endikucwangcisileyo kuza kwenzeka;

ziza kufezeka zonke iinjongo zam.

₂₅Ndiza kuwavikiva ama-Asiriya kweli lizwe,

ndiwanyhashe tu entabeni yam,

idyokhwe yawo yahlukane nabantu bam,

usuke umthwalo emagxeni abo.

₂₆Ezi ke ziinjongo zam mayela nehlabathi jikelele;

ingalo yam ijinga phezu kwezizwe zonke.”

₂₇UNdikhoyo uSomandla-onke ezimisele nje ke,

ngubani ongema ngaphambili?

Xa eyolule ingalo yakhe,

ngubani ongabuya amjike?

₂₉Ke wena, Filistiya, yithi rhubaxa!

Ewe, musa ukuzikhohlisa uthi:

“Intonga ebendibethwa ngayo yaphukile,”

kuba kwakuloo mnombo kosuka kuthi gqi irhamba;

inzala yalo ke inobuhlungu kangako.

₃₀Aya kuhlutha amahlwempu abantu bam,

abahlelelekileyo bahlale bekhuselekile,

ke wena ndikugengqe ngendlala,

kungasali nditsho nempunde le!

₃₁Hlahlambani, masango;

bhombolozani, nina zixeko!

Ewe, tatazela urhwaqele, wena Filistiya!

Kuba nanko umsi uthuquza kweliphezulu;

loo mkhosi ke awunalo ityutyusi!

₃₂Kodwa kodwa singaphendula sithini ukuthetha namakhankatha eso sizwe?

Ewe, sowaphendula sithi:

“UNdikhoyo uyimise wayimilisela iZiyon,

ngoko ke zozimela kuyo iintsizana zakhe!”

KwelaseMowabhi yimbubho yodwa;

kaloku iAri ivuthululwe ngabusuku bunye.

Kunyembelekile eMowabhi phaya;

kaloku iKiri itshatyalaliswe ngabusuku bunye.

₂Nango amaDibhon enyukela endaweni yawo yokunqula,

esiya kuphalaza iinyembezi elila.

AmaMowabhi alilela iNebho neMedibha;

selede agugul' iinwele neendevu.

₃Ezitalatweni ahamba enxibe ezokuzila;

phakathi kwabantu nasemakhaya sisijwili.

₄AmaHeshbhon namaElale ayabhomboloza;

isikhalo sawo sivakala naseYahaza.

Kubi, namajoni ngokwawo ayakhalaza;

kaloku nawo ngoku angenwa yingevane.

₅Ke mna ke ndikhalela iMowabhi,

kuba abantu bayo babhacel' eZoware,

basabele e-Egelati-sheleshiya.

Nâbo bekhwina benyuka iLuti;

benz' isimbonon' ukusing' eHoronayim,

benesingqala ngenxa yentshabalalo.

₆Intlanjana yeNimrim yona yome khonkqo,

notyani ecaleni kwayo apho butshazile;

ewe, akusekho hlaza, kome khwahla.

₇Ubuntwana-ntwana ababuqwebileyo nâbo bexhakazela bebuphethe,

besiya kuwela loo ngxingwa yemipampiri.

₈Yintlokoma yesikhalo eMowabhi jikelele.

Eso sililo sivakala nase-Eglayim;

eso sijwili sifikelela naseBhere-elim.

₉Emlanjeni kwisixeko saseDibhon namanzi ngokwawo abomvu ligazi.

Kanti ke mna Thixo ndisaza kwenza izinto zamehlo:

kuza kujub' ugodo kwaseleyo amaMowabhi!

₁Nango amaMowabhi entlango kwisixeko iSela;

ngoku athumela umrhumo:

amatakane eegusha kwiziphathamandla eJerusalem.

₂AmaMowabhikazi ayazula-zula;

axel' intaka egxothwe endlwaneni yayo.

Nango ephithizela kumazibuko eAnon.

₃“Izwe lifile, yizani kusophula!

Sicela uncedo, khanisikhusele!

Yibani njengomthunzi mhla ligqatsileyo.

Besingoobani kakade siziimbacu nje!

Hayi bo, sincedeni ningasingcothozi!

₄Iimbacu zaseMowabhi maziphambukele kuni;

sikhuseleni kulo mtshabalalisi.”

Le ngcinezelo iza kubuya yethe,

nale ntshabalalo iza kuphela,

nomphembi-dushe aphel' emehlweni.

₅Ngelo thuba ke kosekwa ubukumkani,

bumiselwe ngothando olunezibele.

Esihlalweni kongqendeva onyanisekileyo.

Lowo ke woba ngowendlu kaDavide.

Yena ke uya kulawula ngobulungisa,

alangazelele ulungelelwano nocwangco.

₆Sivile ngokuzikhukumalisa kwamaMowabhi,

elingako lona ikratshi nendelelo;

ewe, angade abe ucikekile likratshi,

kodwa ke, akulele nto apho.

₇Myeke ke uMowabhi abhomboloze.

Mabamthelele uMowabhi nabo balile;

mabenze isililo nesijwili xa bekhumbula amaqebengwane aseKir-hareshete.

₈Amasimi aseHeshbhon ayadodobala,

nezidiliya zaseSibhema zitshabalele.

Amakhosi ezizwe azixangxathile izidiliya zodidi,

zona fudula zifikelela eYazere,

zenjenjeya zithi xhaxhe ngentlango,

amasebe azo ethe gaa ngolwandle.

₉Ngoko ke ndilila kunye neYazere;

ndiyakhala ngezidiliya zaseSibhema;

ndiyinyhididi, Heshbhon nawe Eliyali.

Ewe kaloku, isivuno asibonwa,

imivuyo nemincili iyalambatha.

₁₀Amasimi akezi namihlali nalonwabo;

ezidiliyeni ayisekho ingoma nemiyeyezelo.

Ezixovulelweni akusekho baxovuli;

imiyiyizelo yabavuni iphelile.

₁₁Ngoko ke ndinesimbonono ngenxa yeMowabhi;

ngenene ndihlahlamba njengesigingci,

ngenxa yeKir-hareshete ndibindekile.

“Ke yona iDamasko ayisayi kuba sisixeko,

yosuka ibe ziingqumba zamabhodlo.

₂Izixeko zaseArohere zosala zize;

kuphela zosala zilidlelo lempahla,

futhi kungekho namntu uyiphazamisayo.

₃KwaSirayeli zophela izixeko ezinqatyisiweyo,

ke bona ubukumkani baseDamasko

ngokunjalo namasalela aseSiriya

oba yinto yezolo, ngathi ludumo lwamaSirayeli,”

utsho *uNdikhoyo uSomandla-onke.

₄“Ngaloo mihla ubungangamsha bukaYakobi buya kuphutha,

ukutyeba kwakhe kutsho kutsame.

₅USirayeli woba ngathi yintsimi engqolowa isikwayo;

kwaSirayeli kuya kubharha kube sedizeni –

wofana namasimi entili yaseRefayim.

₆Kambe aya kuba khona amasalela.

Kuya kuba ngathi ngumnquma obhululweyo

kwasala mabini mathathu phezulu,

mhlawumbi isine nesihlanu kwahlanzayo,”

utsho uNdikhoyo uThixo kaSirayeli.

₇Ngaloo mihla ke abantu baya kubhenela kuMdali wabo,

bakhangele kulowo unguYedwa kaSirayeli.

₈Abayi kuba saqamela ngamaqonga lawo bawakhe ngezandla zabo,

bengayi kuba sathembela kowabo umsebenzi –

imiqondiso yesithixokazi uAshera

kunye namaqonga okuqhumisa.

₁₀Kaloku, wena Sirayeli, umfulathele uThixo,

yena odla ngokukuhlangula;

umlibele uThixo ongumqolomba wakho;

usuke watyala imiyezo eyodwa,

khon' ukuze unqule thixo bambi.

₁₁Kanti noba ingantshula idubule

kwangaloo ntsasa ubuyityala ngayo,

liya kubhek' umoya ngasesivunweni –

kuphela yoba yinkxwaleko nezifo ezingaphele ndawo.

₁₂Ke zona izizwe ziyabhabhama,

zitsho ngogqumo ngathi kukuyaluzela kolwandle;

ewe, uluntu luyaxokozela okwamanz' olwandle.

₁₃Izizwe zingade zibe ziyabhonga,

zityhuluba okwamanz' olwandle,

yena ukhalima kanye, zitsho zisabe;

ziphephetheka ngathi luthuli endulini,

ngathi yinkunkum' ibalek' isaqhwithi.

₁₄Ngorhatya bahlasela kutsho kunyembeleke,

kanti kusasa abaziwa nomkhondo.

Banjalo ke abo basixhaphazayo;

eso sisabelo sâbo bazithathelayo.

₁Kunyembelekile ke kwilizwe lesandi samaphiko

emazants' emilambo eKushe.

₂Likhuph' izigidimi ngezikhitshana ezakhiwe ngeengcongolo, zidad' emlanjeni.

Tsheluzani, zigidim' ezikhawulezayo;

luthathen' udaba nigoduke nalo,

luye kwilizwe eliphanjwe yimilambo,

kwisizwe esingwanzilili esinamandla,

amafaf' alusu lumpuluswa,

izintw' ezoyikwa lilizwe jikelele.

₃Bekan' iindlebe, bemi behlabathi!

Jongani, nikhangel' imbasa

ilenga-lenga phezu kweencopho zeentaba;

phulaphulan' isandi sesigodlo.

₄Kalok' *uNdikhoy' undixelele wathi:

“Ndiya kuthi zole cwaka, ndijonge;

ndoqwalasela ndisekhayeni lam ezulwini,

ndizole ngathi kukuwa kombethe ebusuku,

cwaka ngathi lilanga ligqats' ubhobhoyi.”

₅Iidiliya ziya kudubula zifeze,

kodwa zithi ke zona zingekavunwa –

ewe, kanye xa ziya ekuvuthweni –

lusuke luthi vumbululu utshaba,

luwahlabanisele luwageqe amaKushe,

lula nje, ngathi kunqunyulw' amaseb' omdiliya.

₆Izidumbu ke zosala zithe gangalala,

zibe zizisulu zeentaka namaxhalanga.

Ewe, ziya kuba lixhoba lamarhamncwa,

iintaka zizenzele ehlotyeni –

asisathethi ke ngamarhamncwa ebusika.

₇Ixesha liyeza apho uNdikhoyo uSomandla-onke

aya kunikwa aphiwe imirhumo

ngabo balizwe liphanjwe yimilambo,

iingwanyalala zesizwe esimandla,

amafaf' alusu lumpuluswa,

izintw' ezoyikwa lilizwe jikelele.

Ewe, baya kuza kwintaba iZiyon,

apho anqulwa khona uNdikhoyo uSomandla-onke.
